The multitude made an alleged dis
covery concerning Mr.. Nalln and CON
tinued to comment upon it through the
afternoon. This alleged discovery was
that Mr.. Nallin carried with him be-
h nd the plate an ouija board instead
of an indicator to record the balls and
strikes. If there is anything in this
spirits of Spookland are not to be
trusted behind the plate, Their eyes
start to go back on them when they
get beyond the beyond.
Admitting that the umpire's lot is
not happy one and all that sort of
thing, Dinneen and Nallin seem to
have faculty of making it more than
normally unhappy. Frequently during
this series the Red SoX have put their
thoughts into words, many words, but
disdain; but the minute the Yanks
started to chirp the jumps were on
their necks.
No Hits for Ruth
The celebrated Babe Ruth did not
get q hit during the festivities, but
Walter Pipp got one that made up for
this slip in the program. Walter
slammed the ball against the right CEN
ter field fence for a triple. An inch
or two higher and it would have been
q homer, and q record homer at that.
1t was one of the most vehement drives
ever achieved IN the lot, for it trav-
eled on q line to the point of impact.
1t was the first defeat Of the season
for young Hoyt. Jack Quinn, the of
fetal splitter of the Yanks, seemed a
bit wabbN in the box when he started,
but he got better as he went along
and kept the SoX from punching hits
on him,
The Yanks jammed their first run
across in the second inning. when
Pratt smashed a double along the left
field line. Bodie hoisted one to center.
Ruel shot the ball right between
Fosters legs for a single to left and
Pratt came home.
The Sox tied the score in the third
through mlX-up in the signal corps
of the Yankee infeld. McNally hit a
double against the right field wall.
Then Menosky lifted one high above
the infeld. The entire Yankee infeld
started after it. but Aaron Ward in
sisted at the top of his voice that he
had it. The ball was beyond his
reach and the wind swept it further
still, so that he could not even get one
hook on it. McNally scored when the
ball dropped to the ground
Quinn Heads Procession
The big Yankee inning was the fifth,
and the distress of the boy wonder
came after Umpire Nallin dispossessed
the Ganks from their dugout. 1t was q
fairly long and impressive procession.
Quinn drew q base on balls. Aaron
Ward plastered a hit to right field and
Quinn passed on to third. Roger Peckin-
paugh crashed a double against the
left field fence and Quinn scored. Pipp
drove one at Scott, who made fine
one handed stop and threw him out at
first: Ruth was passed purposely:
Lewis hit to right field and Ward and
Peckinpaugh scored. Pratt lifted fly
to right and Ruth scored.
With the game gone, the Sox changed
batteries and put in Karr and Devine
IL
mainder of the afternoon the multi
tude, sated with swatting, seemed to
find amusement in comments upon
Nallin's ouija board and the prejudice
displayed against home runs by Um-
pire Dinneen. A pleasant time seemed
10 be had by all engaged in this work.
Derril Pratt would have staged g
really Ty-Cobbian feat in the eighth
had it not been for the sudden dumb
ness Of Mr.. Quinn. Pratt, drawing a
base on balls, got to third on single
and Quinn at bat, with the prospect of
e third out at any second.
While karr was meditating Pratt
took a long lead off third and made a
sudden dash for home. He was slid
ing beautifully toward the plate when
karr threw the bail. Quinn went into
Il temporary trance, and in stepping
back caught the ball with the end of
hit bat. fouling it off and spelling the
dash of Pratt.
Pipp Also Shines Afieid
Not only did Pipp do the heavy hit
ting for the Yanks, but he performed
some wonderful fielding stunts as we'll
In the second inning Walters shot one
OF, a line With the rightfield wall. Pipp
made flying leap and speared the ball
with one hand. In the fourth Wally
stopped further trouble by utilizing
his altitude and showing some of the
qualities of india rubber in the matter

Scott laid one down in front of the
plate. Ruel made quick throw, and il
was high and away from the bag. Pipp

.ing himself several feet beyond his
natural length, got the ball and kept
the connection with the sack at the
ssame time.
