"A croWu OF more than S6,OUU faithful
fans was on hand for the battle. The
multitude shouted in vain for Babe
Ruth to slam out his thirtieth home
run Of the season and to thereby es-
tablish a new record The Babe had
poor day. He registered only two
doubles and single in five trips to
s the plate.
Miller Higgins shook up his batting
order, and it certainly produced the
desired results. The Babe was shifted
back to right field and Lank Bob Meu-
Duffy Lewis's position in the lineup.
yWally Pipp was shifted to second place
III the batting order and Pratt was
moved up to third place Aaron Ward
was dropped to seventh position.
The members of Murderers' Row
slammed the ball to all corners of the
lot for total of twenty-five hits, in
Guiding three homers, three triples ana
seven doubles. Ward led the attack
with two singles, three-bagger and

Cicotte Driven OF Second
ne Eddie Cicotte, Gleason's twirling ace,
who started on the mound for the
Westerners, was subjected to a severe
mauling during the five innings that he
fingered on the scene. Heath took up
he, too, was cruelty assaulted by the
heartless Yanks. Payne finally finished
the game, but he Jared no better than
his two predecessors.
In the mean time Carl Mays, who
was in the box for the home crew, was
merely loafng. The visitors found his
offerings for fifteen safeties, but he
Rept these fairly we'll scattered, ex-
cept in the seventh, when the visitors
punched four hits, which netted them
two runs. The White Sox got at least
tighteped up whenever they became
threatening.
= The Yanks got off to a good start and
showed two runs across in the very
first inning. Peckinpaugh, the first bat
ter, was safe when John Collins
dropped Buck Weaver's perfect throw.
Pipp flied out to Happy Felsch, i'm cen
ter, but Derrill Pratt came through
with triple to deep right center, on
which Peck scored. Babe Ruth re-
sponded to the plaudits of the multi
tnde by poking a double to center and
scoring Pratt. Meusel and Bodie both
flied out.
The home crew resumed. the bonn
bardment of Cicotte in the second and
chased four more runs across on sin
giles by Ward and Mays, doubles by
Ruel and Peckinpaugh and wild throw
by Weaver.
Sox Score in Third

third and scored two runs. After Lei

Collins followed with his second hit,

error. Felsch then slammed triple off
the right field wall which Meusel played
rather poorly, and Weaver and Jackson
Tailed. John Collins ended the upris--
ing by grounding out to Mays.
The Yanks gathered two additional
runs off Cicotte in the fifth on a single
by Meusel and Wards homer to the
center field fence. They got three more
.sive singles by Peck, Pipp, Pratt and
Ruth.
The big explosion came. in the sew
enth, when the Yanks scored eight
more superfuous runs before Ping
Bodie, the ninth batter up, was retired
for the first out. During this riotous
inning, no less than eight hits bounced

Mr.. Heath right off the mound and
Payne was rushed to the rescue. The
Hugmen greeted him with four more
successive safeties, including a home
run into the right field bleachers by
Bob Meusel.
Wally Pipp made it an even twenty
by slapping another circuit clout into
the right field stands in the eighth.
Ward Stars in Field
TsIn addition to taking a prominent
part in the victory with his bat, Aaron
Ward also played sterling game in
the field. He made great catch of
Cicotte's line drive in the fourth, which
would probably have been good for two
bases had it not been caught.
d. The magnificent Ping Bodie was the
only one of the Yankee regulars who
did not get at least hit. Manager
Huggins decided to give several of the
substitutes chance in the eighth in
ming and he sent Gleich to center field
and Sammy Wick to right. Hoffman
was sent in to replace Muddy Ruel
