New-York tribune., 1920-05-26


Babe Ruth got his usual home run,:
scoring Pipp as usual in the first in
ming The ball did rot go out of the
lot. 1t makes the seventh home run
for the season and the Babe has
twenty-five more to go to equal his
record of last year.
The Babe connected with the first
one offered him by Dutch" Leonard /
and lifted it over. Leonard was ex-
ceeding cautious about what kind of
delivery ne gave to Ruth for the rest
of the afternoon and kept them wide (
thereafter. Ruth is still in the con- /
valescent stage and cannot reach out
very far for them. When he RECEIVERS
his former robust health he will prob
ably settle down to his normal hitting.
The game was one of those nip and
tuck affairs that kept Harry NJ. Ste (
vens constantly ducking under the
stands. Harry is convinced that when
the visiting teams become aware OF his
presence they Immediately assume the
lead just to spite him. Harry cum
ningly tricks them by dropping under
the concrete stands and peeping out
at the game When he bobbed out af
ter Peckinpaugh's finishing punch in
the ninth Harry was pretty well
winded
Six Gamblers Evicted
escorting gamblers to the gates. Six
were evicted to the tune of "The
Rogue's March," which means six that
will never come back, for they are
pointed out to the watchers at the
gates as they pass them out. Charlie
McManus, the reformed crap champion
of Harlem, is now engaged in pointing
out the Spectators and he seems to
have them tagged.
The Tigers started off with run in
the first, chasing Harry NJ. Stevens to
cover almost the second he emerged
from his dugout. Young hit to right
field. went to second on Joness sacri-
flee and to third on Cobb's out. He'll
man brought Young home with single
10 left.
With two out In their half the Yanks
came back with two runs and Harry
NJ. Stevens was able to bask in the
sunlight once more. Pipp singled and
brought up the Babe, setting the stage
for the little act that packs the stands.
Give us homer, Babel" they shouted
and he did
With despairing moan Harry NJ
Stevens took to cover again in the
fifth. Young started the trouble with
another single, but was forced at sec
ond by Jones. Cobb shot one down at
Peckinpaugh, the sort that Peckin-
paugh just gobbles up, but he did not
robble it this time. The ball rolled
through Peck and it also rolled through
Duffy Lewis and Jones scored. This
made it two all and put the game
where it started.
Tigers Again Take Lead
In the seventh the Tigers went into
The lead and a low moaning was heard
nom the vicinity of the trapdoor
through which Harry M. Stevens had
disappeared. Young started the trouble
again and in the same way with a hit.

Picus Quinn. Jones sent him to sec
cnd with q sacrifice.
Cobb slashed one at Ward, who made
beautiful stop, sliding on his face to
get the ball and making a throw to
second to trap Young, but while Young
WAS being run down Pratt made high
throw to Ward and Young got back to
the base in safety. Young finally
scored on a drive by Veach.
But the Yanks came right back in
heir half and the score was tied again.
permitting Harry NJ. Stevens to peep
l:ttle air. Ping Bodie slashed a hit
through the box and went to second on
4 wild pitch and to third on a sacrifice
by Lewis. Hannah brought in the run
that tied the score with a double to
left field
BY the ninth it looked as though the
controversy would 60 over the normal
number of innings Lewis was out on
q long fly, but Ruel, who had replaced
Hannah after Truck came through with
the two -bagger and knocked off work
tor the day, got base on balls. Quinn
was called out on third one Ward
poked a single into short Tight field.
Then came Roger Peckinpaugh with
the hit that brought in the winning
run and brought Harry Stevens out
from under cover.
Rearrange Batting Order
The Yank batting array has been
shaken up once more, George Duffy
Lewis, who used to follow Babe Ruth,
has been placed just below Pratt and
Bodie in Murderers' Row.
That lad Ward was Of conside rable
assistance to John Picus Quinn yester-
day. Three times he stopped hits with
remarkable fielding. The new Yank
third baseman met Frank Frisch for
the first time during the afternoon and
took advantage of the opportunity to
give little exhibition. Chick Fewster,
the convalescent Yank, sat in the same
box with Frisch. the convalescent
Giant
Giuseppe Pinheadi Penelli, utility
infelder for the Tigers, was sent to
coach at first by Hughey Jennings for
part OF the game. Giuseppe made the
mistake of answering back the crowds
that were throwing verbal raspberry
blooms at him, and he wound up by
defying the occupants of all the stands
TO come down into the field and fight
like men. Giuseppe is lineal de
scendant of King Canute, or Nut, who
used to argue with the wild waves.
Hughey Jennings and Umpire Dinneen
led him gently out Of range. He will
be better in the morning when his bean
cools off
Cash customers are beginning to
complain about Ruth. One of them
was little bitter yesterday because
the Babe hit only one home run and
did not knock the ball out Of the lot
But they should realize that Ruth is
stlll weakened from his complications
or fnfantile disorders and that he is
i far from his robust self
