arm. He was obviously in pain. In
his run around the bases the bandage
on the arm had been disturbed. But
as there is physician In the Yankee
quarters watching Ruth every instant
it is assumed that he was deemed to
be In no danger. g
When at length he appeared on the
field after this little delay the cheer
that arose seemed to be impartially
from the rooters for both Sides Ruth
may be taking foolish chances; that
remains to be seen, but his was the
welcome that goes to the man who
doesn't know when he's down.
Babe Beats a Punt.
Ruth's lone hit. by the way. was
thing to chuckle over. Going to the plate
as the first Yankee up In the fourth in
ming. he was pretty much free agent
But as the exercise of freedom usually
consists, in his case. Of a huge slamming

once for Baby Bunting's ball. Mean
while Ruth, hitching and rolling as he
ran. but making speed nevertheless, lum-
bered toward first base. And. cleanly
handled though the ball was. he beat the
throw. Everybody Of the assembled 35.-
75S persons, including the players on
both sides. and with the possible excep-
tion Of the umpires, who are under con-
tract not to laugh. shouted out their
mirth, so that the great amphitheatre
swayed with merriment.
Ruth's other appearances were In the
FIRST inning, when he famed with two
out and none on bases: the sixth. when
he was frst man up. and the eighth,
when good hit might have meant an
other run since Peckinpaugh, captain of
the Yankees. had singled and was champ
ing Off first base. The last strikeout Of
Ruth end0d the Yankees half of the
eighth inning.
Brother Hits to Brother.
1t was apparent throughout the game
that the champion mauler was not able
to hit as freely as usual. 1t was noticea-
BILE. too, that the situations which he
likes best--opportunities to blow a lot
of runners in ahead Of him with a heroic
smash--were not presented. AS has been

Along the stands ran the progressive
sound Of hands clap-clapping In rhythmic
unison.
Meusel responded by lifting the ball
over into left field SO far that II hit the
bleacher wall and gave no little trouble
on the rebound to his brother, Emil
Meusel. the Giant left fielder. Before
Brother Emil could retrieve the ball and
fling II back to the infield Brother Bob

Ruth had crossed the plate with a run

Meusel then scored on Wards high fly
to centre field. George Burns caught II
and got 1t back to the neighborhood of
the plate with one OF the longest throws
Of the series. But Catcher Smith had to
move up a few feet to take the throw
and when he whirled around the Yankee

Plenty Of Interest," in Plays.
In those early innings--what with each
side threatening to burst Its manacles
and fall on the opposing pitcher and the
Giants suddenly SELLING a lead which the
Yankees speedily closed--the spectators
on this cool but comfortable. breezy but
not windy October afternoon found
plenty to tingle their nerves
Later. as the mastery OF young Hoyt
Of Fiatbush was asserted more and more
positively. the thrill largely departed
Yet there was no walkout until the end
Of the game. The crowd felt that with
the score 80 close and the Giants SO de-
termned the unexpected might after all
be turned loose any instant And In
deed there was plenty to stay for. In
