!
J. Picus Quinn, our official splitter,
was washed right out of the lot by an
excess Of moisture from the clouds,
and after Mogridge got the team into
further difficulties Bob the Cob Shaw
key, the web footed petty officer of the
Atlantic feet. rowed cut to the box and
rescued the game.
Water as usual warped the solid
Judgment of Umpire Bill Dinneen, who
has 70 have it proved to him that water
is wet.
Thsre were easily 10000 customers
parked in Mr.. Comiskey's stands when
the thing started One new umpire
appeared on the scene. Billy Friel. who
has been coaching the St Louis Browns,
going in to suffer with Home Run Din
ncen
Mr John Picus QUINN the earnest
Polish Hibernan spitballer, was visi-
bly, agitated as early as the very first
inning. With two out Derril Pratt
skated on the gummy infield path and
Weaver was credited with hit.
Weaver started for second and Truck
Hannah caromed throw off Peckin
paugh's brogan out into center field.
Weaver came all the way home while
Ping Bodie was scouting through the
grass.
Quinn in Trouble Early
Jackson bounced a hit passed Ward.
Felsch drove triple into the right
field corner of the park, giving Ruth
quite an exercise gailop, and Jackson
scored Mr.. j. Picus Quinn was
visibly peeved.
Up to the fifth inning the moist de-
livery Of Mr.. Faber made the inmates
Of The celebrated Murderers' Row look
like lot of feeble old vegetarians.
Then the Babe, in response to the
pleas OF the customers, lifted one to
the right field corner. Murphy made
an earnest stab for it, but it grazed
his digits and went for triple and the
first Yankee hit of the humid after
noon. Meusel lifted long fly to left
and the Infant scored.
Win Bodie out, Pratt singled to CEN
ter and Truck Hannah lifted a Texas
leeguer behind second. The best that
our Mr. j. Picus Quinn could Go was to
get himself thrown out by Eddie Col
Inns. This lone run seemed to put a
little heart into J. Picus Quinn again
The new umpire seemed to excite
considerable favorable comment be-
cause Of his we'll fitting alpaca coat
and some very impressive poses. He
was in the field and had no particular
umpiring 70 do. but he looked the part
despite the difficulties he had keeping
his necktie on straight.
Ward Helps the Cause
Peckinpaugh. who had been passed
twice, started the Yankee half Of the
sixth by cracking a two-bagger along
the LETT field line. Aaron Ward, now
fully convaloscent, cracked another
two -bagger TO about the same spot and

shift i'm the hne-uD, You viii recall
that it was expected that the appear
ance Of Meusel behind Ruth would
annoy the opposing pitchers II did
not annoy Faber very long, for Meusel
batted into double play This, with
the wasted sacrifice by Ppp, made
tnree out and stopped the rally.
In the ScN half of the sixth jackson
foafed . wandering fly over into the
Infant territory In right. The Babe
skdded into a gopher hole or some
sort OF excavation, but he finally
pulled his dogs out Of the trap and
speeared the ball.
The run that broke the tie in the
seventh was propelled and personally
conducted across the plate by PING
Bod.e, the wonderful Wop. Ping
