Babe Makes His 43d Homer,
Besides Double and Single
for Four Runs.
by WILLIAM u. HANNA.

Special Despatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 11.--Whatever
the rest OF the trip brings forth, the
Yankees have began this, their last
long trip. in championship style. They
played baseball OF that grade to-day.
Of Z to 3. The Yankees scoring was all
done in the first four innings. They
met better pitching after that and didn't
score more than once after the stoclSy
Keefe hai ousted the lengthy Hasty
from, the mound Once they had a good
lead they didn't put the same amount
Of soulful sincerity into their efforts. or
didn't seem to, but that may have been
due solely TO the Improvement in the
home pitching.
The Yankees have an exasperaung
habit or easing up when out in front.
and OF not playing the game through at
high pressure. but there Is no reason to
accuse them OF that complacency to-
day Their defence was splendid all
the way. Shawkey didn't pitch his head
eff in the latter part OF the game, but
he put on everything when the Athletics
made signs of becoming unruly.
Babe Ruth unleashed the forty-third
home run with two on bases. ana Tilly
Walker made his seventeenth. Both OF
these blUdgeoning gents are in the thick
OF an extensive home run spree, which
is plenty in the spree line. Ruth S
bludgeoning to-day went far to win,
for he batted in four runs. He weighed
IN with single. double and homer.
The field Of the Yankees as il
capered nimbly this afternoon was a
fast and finished product. Peck and
Ward were unpassable. PeclS's work
on ground balls being an iridescent
reality.
Double Plays by YanLs.
The Athletics might have beer
troublesome had not the Yankees
smothered them with their double plays
Considering the asperity with which
they abused the bulb later on these
Yankee double plays turned out to be
right handy. The Yanls showed
rather neat skill at bunting and sacri-
fcing as well as at straightaway
hitting. There was nothing involved
about their offense. but its simplicity
was smoothly done.
Peck lined pretty double to left in the
first inning and Ruth got just as pretty
d one to right. That team work gave
the Yanks run in the getaway era
Meusel singled and gave them two.
Meusel overslid or he'd have had a two

and Schang singled. That was run in,

Twice in the first two innings the
Yankees repelled the Athletics with a

The Giants had opened on John Miljus

terrific attack on Barnes in tho second.
And so Il went. ding dong, see saw.
Brooklyn got one in the sixth ana 50

with the tie in the ninth. Brooklyn took
tho lead in tho eleventh when Pete Kill
dun whanged a home run into the leit
field bleachera, but along came FTisch
with a single and Kelly with a double
in the Giants half and the tie was IN
evidence again.
And so It came about that the thir-
teenth rolled around. with Sherry Smith
,;tching for the second time. He had
finished the first game, too. Bancroft
waited canniiy and walked. he dis
dained the low and close ones offered.

might have been called q soft place. The
Fordhamite had "a menacing look and II
bore fruit in q jiffy. for he gave the ball
swift ride against the left field bleach

the crowd home In high glee.
New York's tieing the score In the
ninth was dramatic development which
reused considerable acrimony and sent
Frueeer out Of the game in high dud-
geon. with a little vacation staring him
in the face. Burns, who was hard
hitter in that game. with three singles
and double, In addition to getting
mass opened the fatefu ninth with n
single to right. Bancroft raped hit

third. with nobody out Brooklyn's
chances looked to be worth German

Giants Tie in Ninth.

nothing at all from the Brooklyns They
lad as close a call as the average win

Y Il an pat OF hand gripping a ball.
If Burns, diving into the plate in the
ninth inning with the tieing run, had
received that timely pat from Kruger
the four extra rounds would have been
obviated, and the New Iorks would
have been whipped again by TO ).
But it's just that way in baseball.
TO return to the Homeric Frisch. l'e

right on tho nose he was cutting OFT hits

mobile and $500 more for Irish
Aieusel. Frisch probably would bring
about -, but here, this is not the
Fir ancial page.
Friseh banged himself into the lime
lirht in the first game, third inning,
when with Burns on second Frank
hammered his seventh home run into
the left field blcochers. That gave TO
the New Yorlss II fine looking lead, but
they frittcred 1t away in manner

JURY DECISION
IN DECKER CASE
Two More Yet to Be Tried in
Famous LOvett Murder
Case.

Spec1aI TO The Times
COLUMBIA CITY, Ind, Dec. 17-Ac-
quilted by a jury of completely in the
murder of Leroy LOvett, Fred Decker to-
day returned to his farm near Atwood.
The jury was out four hours and forty
five minutes, taking four ballots before
the verdict Of not guilty was reached.
Tears streamed down the face of
Decker, who was termed by the State the
brains" of a plot to collect $4,000 in
surance through the murder of the Lovett
youth, as he embraced his wife and
received congratulations of his neighbors
when the verdict was returned. Decker's
mother and brother, Calvin, are yet to
be tried on charges of murder in con-
nection with the slalying.
A demonstration of hand -clapping fol-
lowed the reading of the verdict. Mrs.
Decker, carrying their 6-mOnths- old
baby, ran to her husband and sobbed ::
"Oh, Fred, we can go home now"
Decker and his two brothers. Virgil
and Calvin, and their mother, Lydia
Decker of Elkhart, were accused of con-
spring to murder Lovettt and place his
body on the railroad track, with the
intention of Identifying the body as that
of Virgil Decker in order to collect the
insurance. Virgil already is serving
sentence for his part in the crime. In
ire trial of Fred Decker, the defense con-
tended Virgil and Leroy Lovett fought
and that Virgil alone was involved

EXPRESS HEAD
GIVES ADVICE
Tells Christmas Shippers Best
Things to Do.

Local express forces are making spe-
cial preparations for the handling of the
Christmas traffic, according to a state
ment made today by w. J. Smith. gen
eral agent. in charge of the city express
Offices.
1--WE wish to emphasize the Importance
Of shipping holiday gift packages early"
said Mr.. Smith. This will avoid CON
gestion with the regular traffic and in
sure their arrival on time. Our most i'm
pOrtant task in handling holiday ship
ments is to deliver them before Christ
mas day"
The express agent declared that the
carriers ask the public to ship their
Christmas gifts in perfect packages,
so that the shipments may be safely and
quickly delivered.
He points out that it is advisable for
holiday shippers to take special care in
the packing and marking of their gift
shipments. He urges plain, legible ad-
dresses directly on shipments. If posi-
BILE. and with "all old marks erased"
Christmas gifts in boxes or cartons
should be reinforced with packing ma
terial as to avoid shifting of contents in
transit. 1t is advisable to place the name
and address of the shipper inside Of the
package.
This inside information" often leads
to the recovery of a misdirected or mis-
carried shipment, or one from which the
address has been lost in transit.
The express company is distributing
Christmas labels for gift shipments,
carrying the words Not to be opened
until Christmas" which can be obtained
at local express Offices
