Ruth did not get hit. The Babe
was limping painfully through the
game and playing on his sheer nerve,
but the menace of the Infant Swatigy
was always there. Coveleskie passed
him twice before he discovered that the
Babe was stopped from making his full
swing because of his injured knee.
The Murderers' Row inmates broke
loose in the first inning and gave the
Yankee Pole lead that made the rest
easy for him. The stick to the last
Club, a local organization, seemed to-
disband automatically at the end of the
eighth. There was considerable de-
preston among the inhabitants, and
the Indians still look like very nerv-
Gus tribe.
Yanks Start Drive
The Yanks started a drive in the
first. inning that Jared Stanislaus
Coveleske. the local Pole, loose from
his socks. Ward punched the first ball
past third for single and stole sec
ond on the hit-and-run play as Peckin-
paugh threw his club at wide one.
Ruth limped up, and, after swinging
at couple, took his base on balls. The
Babe favored the knee that was hurc
yesterday. Derrill Pratt cracked the
one that made Poland and the local in
mates shudder 1t was a paste against
the center field wall for three bases,
and it scored Ward and Ruth. Lewis
lifted one to Chapman, but Pipp
crashed a hit through the box and
scored Pratt Ping Bodie, the Wonder
ter field wall just under the top for
n q crrnr end PjDO scored
Wambs ganss, who has been present
ed with the order of the raspberry by
the indignant inhabitants, brought a
run across for the Indians in the sec
ond. The gent with the loose and Law
ish consonants in his name cracked a
hit to right, took second on an out,
went to third on wild pitch and
against the right-feld wall.
Ruth limped around with run for
the Yanks in the third. Coveleskie
passed the dangerous cripple for the
second time. Pratt sent him to second
with a sacrifice bunt down to first.
Coveleskie tried to trap him at second,
but threw the ball into center field,
and Ruth went to third Duffy Lewis
raised long fly to left field and Ruth
hoped home with the run.
Chapman Gets, Two-Bagger
With one out in .he Indian half of
the third Chapman cracked q two base
hit to the right field corner, while Ruth
lmped after it with his sliding knee
creaking, but Speaker popped up to
Peckinpaugh and Smith lifted one to
Bode.
Gardner started the Indian section
of the fourth with Texas Lacquer
that almost had Bodie and Peckinpaugh
in collision. The ball dropped to the
ground, and Gardner dashed for sec
ond, but Peckinpaugh recovered the
ball ana the throw beat him to the bag.
In the fifth Ward shot single to
center and went to second on Peckin-
paugh's sacrifice. BY this time Cove
leskie began to realize that Ruth was
really hurt and that the sliding knee
nterfered with his swing. He pitched
to him and Ruth struck OUT.
The local inmates began to pray for
rally in the Indian half of the sixth
but Chapman and Speaker could get
nothing out of the infield, and Elmer
Smith lifted one into the ample spa
ghetti hooks of Ping Bodie, the Won
derful Wop.
With two out in the Indian half Of
and Steve O'Neill put one past Peckn-
paugh into left. Graney was sent into
bat for Coveleskie at this crisis, and
the inmates who had been suffering
great mental anguish from the first
lnn'ng. began to perk up bit. The
president Of the stick -the-last CLUB
who was under the stands With a rope
In his hands looking for a beam, came
out for air. But Graney was thrown
out by Pratt. and it looked as though
the head of the stick to the last club
might be found swinging somewhere
in the twilight
s Uhle Relieves Covcleskie
Uhle took up the load of trouble that
Coveleskic dumped in the eighth With
the count three and one on him Ruth
took painful swing at the ball, but
was thrown out by Wambsganss. Pratt
fouled out, but Lewis drove one to
center. Pipp hoisted one into Speakers
mitts.

Pipp. Chapman rolled a bounder down

bag. Speaker Moisted a harmless one
10 Ping Bodie, the Wonderful Wop.
Elmer Smith cracked one down before
the plate and was thrown out by Quinn.
Rodie struck out in the Yankee half
of the ninth and was greatly panied
over the incident. Ping squawked more
IN sorrow than in anger and was
chased from the lot. He raised la
ment like that of a sorrowful coyote
mourning for its mate and was led
from the lot by Wallie Pipp. The soul
OF the naughty Rock Roller was
crushed.
: With one out in the Indian half of
the ninth Burns was sent in to bat for
Wambsganns. He cracked one down tc
Pip, who juggled the bali but got it
to Quinn for the out. Johnson was
thrown out by Pratt.
