right field in the ninth.
The rain made it tough for the
Polish Hibernian, Mr.. John Picus
Quinn. If it had not been for that
shower the venerable Jack would have
been bigger hero than he was on the
afternoon he held the Cleveland In
dians and beat Coveleskie with home
run into the right field stand.
Jack is one of the licensed spitters,
a legal distributor of the moist de-
livery, but Jack must moisten the ball
himself. When he is handed pill
that is moistened by the elements he is
just as big sap as Samson coming
out of a barber shop with his hair
badgered. The paradoxical part of
Jacks moist delivery is that he has to
have dry weather to deliver it in.
Quinn Strong aor Five Innings
For five innings Jack, backed by some
fine fielding on the part of the Yanks,
held Urban Shocker safe. Then he re-
Coveleskie. In the Yanks' half of the
filth, with Muddy Ruel on second as
the result of two-b -bagger propelled by
his own bat, Jack lined a homer into
the right field stands. Then the rain
started to descend heavily and the
countenance of Mr.. Quinn registered
worriment.
The shower bumped J. Picus
Quinn quite as hard as it bumped the
late n. Bonaparte at Waterloo The
pill became soggy and Mr.. Quinn could
not apply his own venom to it with
any degree of effectiveness because of
the constant adulteration with rain
water. Disaster overlook the stalwart
cL itnr
into the lead.
With one out in the sixth Williams
drove long three-bagger to right
Smith singled to right and Williams
scored j. Picus Quinn began to skid
right off his pedestal and looked to the
dugout for succor.
Disaster continued to accumulate.
Tcbin rolled one down the third base
line and was safe SEVERED cut one
past Quinn into right field and Smith
scored. tying it up, making the home
run of John Quinn look like mere
episode instead of an epic. The rain
was descending heavily as the Yankee
board of strategy assembled at the box
and decided that Quinn's splitter could
no longer compete with the clements
Carl Mays was sent for and was
given big reception as he stalked up
the field. There was some excitement
for while as the spectators recalled
the strike threat of the Browns against
him. But that had all been settled in
the morning. The Browns had met on
receipt of the message from the presi-
dent of the American League and de-
cided to call off the proposed strike as
far as they were concerned.
With Mays in the box shocker
chopped one down to short and was
safe when Peckinpaugh juggled the
pill. Gerber drove one to left and it
looked like a clean hit, but Duffy Lewis
made fine peg to Ruel and Tobin was
forced out at the plate. Gedeon,
another ex-Yank, raped one down to
third and Ward seemed to have it
easily enough, but he let the ball
carom off one shoe, rolling into left
field. SEVERED scored and Shocker
tried to follow him, but Ruel got the
throw in time to pin him into the mud
off the plate.
Crowd Sticks Despite Rain
The rain continued to pour. but most
of the customers, about $4,000 in all
refused to take to cover. In the sew
enth Ping Bodie, the Wonderful Wop
lifted one out to left center. The
heads of two of the Brown outfelders
came together with sound like the
clicking of the ivory balls at Jack
Doyle's, while the pill dropped to the
ground and Ping Bodie got two-base
hit for it, Aaron Ward struck out
sively moist that Lightning Bill Din
peen, the Storm King, called a cessa-
ton in the pastime.
The fans went under the stands tC
brood over the fact that if the moist
ure persisted the game would revert to
the previous inning and that the YER
dict would be, "Yanks poisoned again
by Urban Shocker" Henery Fabian
spread his canvas and there was 8
three-quarter hour wait.
With the game resumed Bodie went
TO third on Ruel's out. This brought
up Carl Mays, who drove a wicked hi
bound and struck George Sisler on the
cheek, raising an ugly bruise- The
wonderful wop slushed across the
plate and the score was tied.
The Yanks broke through in the
ninth. Lewis slashed one down te
Smith, who stopped the ball. but made
high heave to Sisler and the Beat
Brunei of the Yanks was safe Bodie
dumped a sacrifice down to Shocker
error and his ineffectiveness with the
stick In the previous innings. He
caught one on the end of his bat ans
drove it to right field near the wall fol
two-bagger and Lewis strolled hom,
with the winning run.
