Yankee cripples hobble an extra I'M
The Infant Swatigy was not the only
home run getter among the Yanks.
Ping. Bodie, the Wonderful Wop, after
watching Ruth's sock plaster the Gus
toners in the right infieM bleachers,
cried "Me, tool" And, surely enough
Ping hoisted one into the left field
bleachers. The Signor Pizzola was
highly pleased at his homer, and dotted
his cap with the native grace of Rock
Roller from Telegraph Hill, San Fran
cisco, as he crossed the plate. BY way
of celebration Derrill Pratt also hoisted
homer into the left field bleachers
later in the afternoon.
The Babe later entertained the
crowd with two-bagger to center.
Also, he came within few feet of
achieving a personal ambition, to put
the ball into the center field bleachers,
feat that has not yet been accom-
plished. Cobb was leaning languidly
against the fence when that one
started. 1t was just a little high and
Just trife slow to make the trip.
Yanks elbow" in Ninth
Quite few of the customers left
at the end of the seventh. Ruth had
hit mere two-bagger on what seemed
to be his last time at bat for the after
noon, and the Yankees were leading by
to 8. The show seemed over, the bal
loon had gone up.
But Thormahlen had been trifle
wabfiy from the fifth and some fiashy
fielding by his teammates had been
saving him. In the sixth Bodie, with
3 good CATCH, and Aaron Ward, with a
wonderful one-hand stop, cut down the
first two batters. Then came the petu-
liant pop Of the base hits and some
volley firing that knocked the two
pert and Houston, right out of their
chairs and Thormahlen right out of
the box.
Hale was sent in to pinch hit for
Dauss and caromed a two-base hit
against the right field wall. Bush
dumped Texas Lacquer just behind.
second and Hale scored. Ainsmith,
pitching for Jones, drove triple to
left, scoring Bush, and the stands were
just as closely packed with consterna-
ton as they were with customers.
This brought up SO per cent or better
of the Tigers. and that so per cent was
crippled, referring, of course, to Mr..
Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the bruised
Georgia Peach Cobb slashed hit to
right field and Ainsmith came home
with the run that tied.
Ways RuSncu 10 AGSCU0
About this time it began to occur
to Miller Higgins that all might not
be we'll with young MIR. Herbert Thor
mahlen. A diagnosis confirmed this
suspicion, and Carl Mays, who had been
exercising in the distant pasture, came
in to the rescue. Veach hoisted one
out to right and the dash Of the Tigers
ended abruptly.
The Yanks could not jam a run
through in the ninth, though Pipp got
a base on balls and went to second on
wild pitch by Mr.. Dutch Leonard,
who replaced Dauss. Ruth made q
mighty heave but the best that he could
do was to hoist high one to Ellison.
In, the tenth Lank Bob Meusel startled
Mr.. Leonard, the eminent Santa Clara
Valley raisin packer, by seeking two
base hit to center field. Bodie was safe
when Leonard tried to nail Meusel.
Pratt laid down bunt, but Leonard
threw to third and Meusel was nailed.
Truck Hannah drew a base on balls,
filling the bases.
Then Roger Peckinpaugh, who has
been in the stalls with charley-horse
limped out to the plate, pinch hitting
for Mays. Roger hoisted the ball to CEN
ter and Ping Bodie, the Wonderful
Wop, foundered across the platter like
frog with the winning run.
Fewster Forced to Quit
That game little player, Fewster, had
to quit the game after the f1rst inning.
He wanted to play, but his knees were
shaking under him, and Pratt, who
dug-out to tell Higgins that Fewster
was barely able to stand. Aaron Ward,
still suffering from his injuries at
Washington, limped out to play short
and played wonderful game, hobbling
about on one leg half of the time, but
making some impossible stops and
throws.
Asa matter Of fact, all Of the Yam
KEGS did some star fielding yesterday.
quently in spots, and they had to work
to hold him safe. Sammy Wick, in right
field came in twice on liners, scoopnng
them up in such spectacular fashion
that Ping Bodie, the Wonderful Wop
paused to applaud. And Ping, himself,
worked in center like modern Italian
version of Iris Speaker.
Ward, despite the limp, played q star
game and Lark Bob Meusel, who used
to be so awkward that anything shot
down third base way went for "a hit,
was picking them out Of the gait and
pegging the Tiges at first. Pipp was
making some great plays at first.
The Tiges started in the first inning.
Bush was safe on an error by Fewster
snd went to second on passed ball.
Jones lined out to right and Rush
scored on Cobb's single to. center.
Murderers Get Busy
Then the United Assassins of Muir
derers' Row got busy. Fewster plas-
tered one to center and stretched it to
p two-bagger with a pretty dash on
Cobb's return. Wick plastered one to
right and scored Fewster. Pipp laid
down bunt to third and was safe on
; Pinelli's throw. Ruth got base on
balls and packed the corners. Meusel
hoisted one to left and Wick scored
! podie raped one to Pinelli, forcing
firp. Pratt singled to center and
scored Ruth.
In the second inning Ward took
Fewster's place and Immediately started
