A crowd of 10000 fans, including sew
eral hundred sailors from the U. S. S.
Tennessee and the Portuguese cruiser
San Gabriel, was on hand to watch
Babe Ruth break his own home run
record. The Infant failed to come
through with his thirtieth circuit clout
of the season, although he tried his
best to fulfill the expectations of the
multitude. He struck out on mis- first
trip to the plate, was nit Ivy pitched
ball, drew base on balls and finally
slammed out single in the eighth
inning
Murderers' Row Quiet
Bill Bayne, southpaw, who was on
the mound for the visitors, pitched in
mastery style and had the ferocious
members of Murderers' Row virtually
not the semblance of hit in the first
SIX innings and appeared to be growing
stronger as the game progressed. How
ever, he weakened toward the end and
the Yanks combed him for six safeties
N the last three innings, but they were
abruptly checked in the eighth by a
fast double play.
Southpaw George Mogridge, who per-
formed in the box for the home crew,
was OuilpSu WIN COHSlQeTaDl6 LT2-
quency during the first seven innings
and the Browns amassed g total of ten
hts. he managed to keep these pretty
we'll scattered and might have held his
opponents to q single run but for two
costly errors by his mates.
Young Bob McGraw took up the
twirling burden in the eighth and pre-
vented further scoring.
The Browns got off with q two-run
lead in the very first inning by virtue
OF .glaring misplay by Babe Ruth
Pratt, Gedeon shot a single past
Ward. The peerless George Sisler then
slammed q single to right, and when
the Babe allowed the ball to get past
him both runners easily completed the
circuit.
Sisler gave the visitors another in
the fifth, when he connected with one
OF Mogridge's shoots and lifted it into
the rlght-tield stands for home run.
The Browns added two more in the
sixth. With one out SEVERED poked
single to centre. Bayne struck out for
the second time, but Tobin followed
with another single to centre.
SEVERED sprinted to third on the hit
and reached the bag in safety when
Aaron Ward dropped the great Ping
Bodies perfect throw, which should
out. Tobin took second on the peg.
Joe Gedeon then came through with
a single to left, on which both Seve-
reid and Tobin scored. Sisler brought
the inning TO a close by fouling out
to Pipp.
Yankees Stage Rally
The Yanks grew threatening in the
seventh and staged a belated rally
which Melted them two runs. After
the first three batters had hit safely
IN this inning Bayne frightened UP and
retired the next three in order. Pratt,
1irst up, got the first hit off the
Browns twirler, single to left. Ruel
sent him to third moment later with
a double to left.
Lanky Bob Meusel was then injected
into the fray to bat for Mogridge, and
he bounced a double along the left
field foul line which scored Pratt and
Ruel. Peck then fouled out to Sisler
and Ward and Pipp both grounded out
Baby Doll jacobson made a marvel
Gus catch of a terrific line drive by
Ping Bodie in the fourth. The
Browns centre field grabbed the
pellet about a foot from the ground
as he was running at full speed toward
right field 1t was one OF the greatest
catches made at the Polo Grounds this
season and il robbed the magnificent
Pingaof al least 81 three-bagger.
The Yanks will entertain the Chi
cago White Sox this afternoon in
the first of a six-geme series. One
game will be played tomorrow and
double headers on Monday and Tues
