New-York tribune., 1921-06-06

cal, historical seventh inning when
Browns, q to d.
Il was a see-saw affa;A that game of
yesterday between the Yankees and
Ice FohPs Fohlles and until the sew
enth when Ping. to whom this tale has
;iiready been dedicated, smashed his
sripje into the face of Old Emergency,
here was no telling what would hap
Hcn. In fact it was the general gossip
about the stands and bleachers that
the game showed strong symptoms of
extra innings.
The two teams were tie at a all
when the curtain rose on the Stretch
ing" act of the drama. Captain Peck
inpaugh succumbed on q grounder to
short. Babe Ruth fooled the st. Louis
eutfelders, who we're nesting beneath
the shows of the various fences, by
meeting the ball easily and gently for
3 hit to right which netted him two
bases under the circumstances.
Plpp raped grounder to Gerber at
short and Ruth was caught at third
on Gerber's toss to Ellerbe That is,
Umpire Nallin declared the Babe out
despite his clever slide which ap-
narentiy had gained him the base in
safety. There was prolonged kick
hut the umpire, as usual, won despite
the boots and jeers and sneers fired at
him from all quarters.
So there were two out and Pipp on
first when Mr.. Bodie strolled to the
nlate swinging the customary two bats
san Francisco Ping watched ball and
strike pass by him without tremor
and then he landed on the third one
FOR drive that sailed between left
and right for three bases and the ball
game.
The illness of Bob Meusel, who was
suddenly stricken with appendicitis
Yesterday morning, gave Ping hiss first
opportunity in several days to start a
game. He not only started this one.
He finished it.
Tobin Gets Home Run
Each team scored run in the open
ing inning. Tobin, the first batter to
face Mays, hit the second ball pitched
into the upper tier of the grand stand
for one of those common, ordinary,
every day homers. Gerber followed
with a single off Bakers glove, only to
be forced at second on Wetzel's at
tempted sacrifice hunt to Pipp. Will
liams drew pass, but SEVERED flied to
Ruth and Elierbe forced Williams at
second. Baker to Ward.
In the Yankee half Roth walked
Peck flied out to left. Ruth tripled
TO the center field fence, scoring Roth
with the tying run. Pipp passed out,
second to first, and Bodie walked.
Bakers best was fly into the hands of
Williams.
The Browns took the lead in the
third, when they scored twice, single
by Tobin, q sacrifice by Gerber and
singles by Wetzel and SEVERED doing
the damage.
The Yankees brought the game to
deadlock in the fourth by tallying two
runs after two men had been retired.
life after Pipp had been tossed ort by
Shocker Baker popped to SEVERED,
Ward singled to right and then Schang
doubled down the left field foul line,
scoring Bodie and Ward.
The fifth inning was repetition Of
the first, as each side again made
run. The Browns tally was the out
come of bunt by Tobin, Wards slow
nesssin covering first on Gerber's bunt
and single to left by Williams.
Ruth Purposely Passed
The Yanks filled the bags in their
half. but could squeeze over only one
counter. Roth singled to right as
starter and raced to third on Peck's
Ruth was purposely passed, ciogging
the bases. Pipp fouled out to Ellerbe,
but Roth scored on Bodies force-out
of Ruth at second. Lee threw out
Baker and a fine chance for harvest
WAS lost to the Hugmen.
Ward made a great stop Of Peck's
Wild throw to first i'll the opening inn
ing. Ward was covering the initial
IL - l. of Woty eDo IN vto
sacrifice, which drew Pipp in.
Ruth and Bodie switched fields in
the fourth inning.
In the third Wetzel scored all the
way from first on Severeid's single to
center as the result OF Bodies slow
iielding.
Babe Ruth saved run in the sixth
by an amazing catch of Shocker's line
drive to left center. The ovation Babe
received as he walked to the bench
was just as boisterous as il he had
made home run.
Tobin made q home run and two
singles in his first three appearances
at the plate, but on his fourth try he
expired on an easy grounder to Ward.
Manager Higgins was benched in the
seventh inning by Umpire Nallin be-
cause the Miller kicked too strenuously
when Nallin ruled Ruth out at third
on Gerber's throw to Ellerbe.
