BABE RUTH'S BUNT
PAVED WAY TO VICTORY
Home Run Kings Unexpected Play
Caught Entire Giant Team
off Their Guard,

New York, Oct. IL tBy The AS
sociated Press)--A bunt in baseball
game doesn't hold a candle to home
run as a spectacular feat, but lit e
bunt which Babe" Ruth laid down
on tie grass at the Polo Grounds yes.
terday showed how much importance
some times attaches to the less sen.
sational performance.
The Babes" home run in the ninth
inning OF Sundays game was for the
Yankees as team just one more run
and nothing more. His bunt in the
fourth inning of yesterdays game, the
fifth in the 1921 world series, proved
the turning point Of the contest which
was won by the American Leaguers
by the score of 3 to over their Ma
Itional League opponents,

Then to start TIE fourth for the

thing and laid down bunt The Giant

The way had been opened for tally

another was speedily added when

That ended the scoring for the day.
Hoyt, who had seemed bit unsteady
In the early innings, settled down be

heady game which had the big guns in
the Giant lineup guessing when safe
blows were necessary to put runs

Orthopedic Hospital in her WILL
