mode Of life down to the final gesture we
pause for reply.
1t was oil that any man could do
when called upon to step III and fill the
huge spoor left upon the sands of time
and fame. But in so far as the crowd
was concerned, it wasn't Ruth, who is
not only the greatest hitter, but the
greatest Snowman that ever forced the
acclaim of oil in sight.
The Babe was in the stands. nursing
an arm that looked like an elephants
thigh. 1t couldn't have swelled to
greater proportions without exploding
and blowing up the grandstand. Did
the Babe mind? Not any more than
Wellington would have cared IL he had
been called back the afternoon before
Waterloo.
Harper Fades
With the Yankees leading by a game.
Higgins faced the sixth contest with
guess and prayer. He knew what had
happened 10 Shawkey, Quinn and
Collins. It had been quite enough. His
sole hope was Harry Harper, the
| Hackcnsack ft-hander, and he took
the only chance in sight. -.
McGraw promptly countered with
Fred Toncy, and for a brief spell the
L
the purple :oga that drapes the shoul-
dcrs Of the conducring great. For, with
out wasting any precious time. the
| American League entry lit upon the
back of Toney's broad neck and ham
mered the top Of his dome away. They
| scored three runs and drove him from
the plan before he knew that the bell
| had rung.
With Toney in full fight, McGraw
again rushed Jess Barnes to the open
gap, and, after facing a sock over the
heart from Fewster's home run in the
second, the Circlcville Cyclone settled
down to the main business Of grinding
the Yankees into a powdered pulp.
Barnes Strikes Out Ten
Through the last seven innings the
Knnsan led them to the edge of the
precipice by the ear and pushed them
| 1ver one by one. He not only held them
to q brace Of singles in these seven clos
ing reels, but famed ten of them with
out overlooking a member of the cast.
He strucS out Ward twice to leave the
count at even figures, while turning his
electric buzzer from Fewster in order
to the last man up.
In the meantime, Harper, after q
breezy start, lost his moorings and
stumbled into bog that was soon
oozing up around his ears. He looked
like q winner for the first chapter,
hut as a serial star Harry was bust,
When Harper walked Kelly In the sec
ond and Z. Meusel prongcd home run
into the stands, there were vivid indi-
cations that Harper was on the point
of taking a trip within the next few
minutes. He stopped Rawlings, but
when Snyder smote another home run
into the stands for the third tally and
Barnes promptly singled, no expert tes-
timony was needed to prove that Harry
was in for knotty day.
Shawkey Also Knocked Out
This heavy cannonading brought
Shawkey in to face Barnes. Once again
the Yanks took finger grip on the Sc
ries when Shawkey singled and Few
ster, subbing for Ruth, carried out his
impersonation to a marvellous degree by
hitting a home run. The sole difference
was that Chick selected the left field
seats. while the Babes focus Is over
to the right.
Leading 5 to 3, with Shawkey's red
flanneled undershirt flaming in defense
the Yankees had decided bulge unit
the Giants surrounded Robert in the
fourth and battered four runs out Of
MS system, as snyder, Barnes, Bancrot'
and Kelly all took him on the run
That bombardment was quite enough
to convince Higgins and his supporters
that when Mays and Hoyt were MOI
pitching the only way to win a game
was to make from ten to twenty runs
The Giants ran up thirteen hits fol
nineteen bases before they called it {
day, and this was practically sufficient
with Barnes sniping every Yank thai
stuck his head over the trench.
