La Batting Bee
Lewis Takes Meusel's Place
and Clears Bases With
Triple; Score Is ii to Z
By w. O. Mcclellan

DETROIT, Aug. 6-Two home runs
by Babe Ruth in the one afternoon
1oltcd the Yankees out of their life
of shame to-day and they beat the
Tigers by the African golf score of
IL to 7.
Miller Higgins shuffled the batting
order till the folks back home
wouldn't recognize it, and he fastened
Lanky Bob Mcusel to tie bench with
a strong dash of glue. Duffy Lewis
cavorted in left field and started the
reformation Of the Yanks with a triple
that scored three runs.
Ruths fortieth homer in the third
inning was spattered into the top tier
bleachers in right center. The forty
first cleared the right field fence and
caused havoc and CONSERVATION out
side the park 1t was the. longest
ever sighted here by the dim eyes
of the oldest inhabtant. It begins to
look as though Murderers' Row had
awakened at last.
The shutting of the batting order
put Ruth in third place. 1t worked
all right to-day and it will be con-
tinued until the Yanks start to browse
upon the sleep producing poppies
again.
Hannah is Suspended
The New York team will be without
the services of Truck" Hannah for
some time to come. He has been
indefinitely restrained from partici-
patton IN the pastime by order of Ban
Johnson for telling Lightning Bill
Dinneen, the storm king. few of the
things he thought about him.
The burden of to-day's iovful
song seems to be, The Yankees
are hitting again" They had better be
hitting when they reach Cleveland.
The newly shuffled batting forma-
tlon seemed to get results in the first
inning Ward received base on balls
and Peckinpaugh chopped a hit over
second. Ruth was passed and the
bases were filled. Pratt sliced one to
plnelIi' r. the wild Wop of Detroit, and
Ward was nicked at the homo dish.
This brought up George DUR Lewis
,he seat OF whose uniform trousers
has been worn to frazzle through
long, contact with the bench Duff
cracked out a three-bagger to the flag
pole IN center field and swept the bases
clean of the three Yanks ahead of
nm. Duffy scored himself on Pipn's
out, and it began to look as though
the 4anks might show startling form
reversal and win the ball game.
Tigers Tie in Second
The toothless Tigers reduced the
lead in their half of the same innino
Young got base on balls and was
forced by Jones. Tyrus Raymond Cobb
cracked modest single to center.
veach was thrown out by Pratt and
Young scored. Heilman spattered one
against the left field fence Lewis
made desperate leaping stab for il.
but the pill rebounded and rolled for
triple while Cobb strolled home.
Inc Tigers tied the score in the
second inning, and George Mogridge
went out to warm up, but changed his
mind and lay down in the grass to
take siesta. While he snored peace
fully the Tigers continued to annoy
our Mr.. John Picus Quinn.
Flnelll, the less Wonderful Wop of
n,etrolt' singled to right Stanage
to. beat hit to Ward, but Lightnine
Blll Dineen said no. Dauss got a base
o., on balls. Young bounced hit from
the slippery glove of John Picus
Quinn and Pinelli scored. Jones
singled and Dauss scored, while Yo,,ng
was called out at third on close ono
bape kuth opened the third innjng
WIN ms fortlcth home run for the
farfent eur mt season. The ball was hoisted
lnIo the steerage seats in right center
and missed clearing the entire lot bl
a yard or 50. This put the Yanks ~
the lead again, and Miller Huggins
sent sent messengers to rouse the slee6jng
ln1surgent, n1sg George Mogridge. 1t was
fron1 fronl VIVA Jnat the distressing bulletins
from warsaw had unnerved M Job,-
r. ffeus Quinn and that he would not he a
OF much use this afternoon. ~
