The arst inning of the nightcap, cleared
the roof of the stands,
Peckinpaugh also hit homer in the
fifth inning OF the second contest
What with the Babes home runs and
the fight bulletins streaming in, the re-
suits of the games were only of sec
oadary Importance. Sufficient to say
that the scores were to 5 and to /
in favor of the Yankees.
The Polo Grounders won the first by
jumping on Russell for three runs in
the first two innings before he could
get settled Collins meanwhile was
pitching great ball and allowed only
FIVE hits.
The Yankees found Elmer Myers for
three runs in the first inning, includ-
ing Ruths second home run, and the
damage was done. Karr, who succeed
ed him, held the Yankees to two runs.
Waite Hoyt pitched great ball for the
home aggregation, allowing only seven
hits, The yoangster was never in
danger and the only Sox run came in
the eighth inning, when he eased IN.
The 10000 fans who came out for the
double bill had plenty of chances for
roofing in the eighth inning of the
first game. A horde of announcers
megaphoned the fact that Dempsey had
knocked out Carpenter and the crowd
was in an uproar.

two hits and one run in the first inning
after two were out. Fewster famed
and Peck grounded out, but Ruth hit

fee fly to Menosky. Ruth received
base on balls and the bases were again
crowded, but Baker went out to McIn-

the fifth as the result of wild pitch
by Collins. Scott singled and after
