New-York tribune., 1920-07-22

Jubilant. They were convinced tha
jam-up aggregation, after all
That was the story for eight innings
But the Yankees and the Eat boys and
the crowd apparently had forgotten
about sthe ninth everybody had for
gotten it except the Cleveland team
And it was in the ninth inning, the
inning that is getting to be the Yank-
ees' jinx, that the Cleveland team
showed reversal of form and began
to look like the league leaders.
With the score 4 to against them at
;he start of this session and with the
GROVES dribbing toward the exits, the
Indians woke up. Led by the never
say-die Speaker they began to splash
hits to all parts of the field. to streak
around the bases and to behave like
league-leadng outfit ought to be-
have. Their last minute fare-up came
within an inch of doing just what the
White Sox had done the afternoon
before--snatch ball game from the
Yankees when the latter had apparent
ly tucked the game away in the winning
column.
At the .wind-up, when rip" Collins
had famed Ray Chapman. the score
stood to in favor of the Yankees.
To-day TIE Yanks will watch the In
dians or eight innings, and then watch
them again in the ninth
Climax Comes in Ninth
Pictnle yesterdays nnth-inning cli-
max. 1t was case of where the punch
came at the finish The score was
4 to 0. The Yanks had grabbed those
four runs not through fuky hits or
glaring errors, but through sheer slug
ging ability. Wally Pipp and Bob
Muesel had cracked out komers. Aaron
Ward had Jared the right field fence
with triple and Pratt had been
walloping the ball to oil sections of
the field. The Yanks had been hitting
And Mays, Carl of underhand delivery
fame, had been pitching. He had been
moving along serenely. with eight run
less innings behind him. That was
how it looked when iris Speaker, of
Texas, staggered up to the plate in
the ninth.
The Indians manager, who had al
ready made one hit and several spec
tacular catches, lashed the ball to CEN
ter for a double. Elmer Smith grounded
to Pipp and Speaker scudded to third.
Larry Gardner of the Order of Former
Red Sox Stars, then doubled against
the right field wall, scoring Speaker.
Wambsganss slashed a roller to Peck
inpaugh. who heaved the ball beyond
Pipp's nimble grasp. Gardner scored.
Doc Johnston singled to center and
Wamby gailoped home. Steve O'Neill
came through with sharp drive to
left and Johnston halted at second
Joe Wood was sent to first to run for
O'Neill.
Navs was relieved at this point and
rip" Collins went in to pitch. Ray
Caldwell. who was doing the hurting
for the Indians lined single to cen
ter, which Bodie stopped. The Wop
then saved the game for the Yanks by
throwing Johnston out at the plate. 1t
was beautiful throw. Jameson
walked and up came Chapman. Collins
did Just what the crowd was begging
him to do by striking out the Cleveland
infelder. Collins was given an ova-
tion when he whitfield Chapman.
Yankees Score Early
The Yankees did their scoring in the
second and third innings. In rha ser
ond Meusel took q healthy swing and
drove the first pitched ball into the
left field bleachers. In the third Pipp
drove a homer into the right field
stand. Pratt followed with his second
hit. sizzling liner over third Babe
Ruth stepped up and faced CALDWELL
over the plate for the slugger and
Babe lined to Smith. Meusel hit a
terrific liner to left center for two
bases, Pratt taking third. Bodie skied
to Chapman, but Ward came through
with drive that bounced over the
right field fence, scoring Pratt and
Meusel.
Babe Ruth had a comparatively
quiet afternoon. He failed to get hit
and was walked once. He played a
nice game in the field, making one fine
running catch after he had slightly
misjudged Doc Johnston's fly
One of the features of the afternoon
was Speakers catch of a long drive by
Pipp in the fifth inning. The drive
looked good for sure triple, but the
fast-moving Indian manager went al
most to the center-held fence and
snagged it.
The Yankees felded excellently and
had perfect day until Peckinpaugh
tossed the ball over Pipp's head in the
ninth.
Biggest Series Of Year
Yesterdays game looked to be Just
important series the New York team
has played this year
The appearance of Ray Caldwell on
the mound for the visitors added in
terest to the affair Barring the sec
ond and the third innings, the former
Yankee gave good account of him
sell, and did more than his share with
the bat. He got two singles.
The. crowd cheered Mays until the
hln.h' and then greeted Rip Collins
with whoop of welcome when he took
the veterans place in the box. Collins
was coolness itself and wore a broad
grin even with the bases filled. The
crowd swarmed on the field and CON
sratulated him after he had famed
chapman in the ninth inning for the
final out. '"e
