LOST IN DEFEAT

None on With One Arm
in Bandages
CHEERED AS HE
GOES ON FIELD

NEW YORK. Oct lo.-The glory
Of Babe Ruth was lost in the CLAM
our OF another Giants victory yes
terday afternoon Going into the
game under the most adverse kind
OF conditions, Babe accomplished
what he had been unable to de pre-
vious,y N the series. when he slam
med out homer in the closing in
ming OF tofa-s setto. but Il did not
mean anything. for Carl Mays had
blown after going seven innings in
sensatiousl fashion. And. with the
defeat Of Mays goes a great part Of
the Yanlx's chances TO come through
as victors for McGraw's has all the
better of il from now on. The
Yanks are on the defensive and al
most hanging on the ropes as far as
the pitching outlook is concerned.
For seven innings yesterday aft
sTaoon, Il looked as II the master
OF the submarine delivery would
duplicate his performance of the
open'nr day and The one run which
he Yanks had managed 10 get look
ed as big ce the proeerbial million.
The submarine secret however. was
,athomed in the eighth session and
Mays pitching ship was scuttled.
Three runs were over IN i.ffy and
with them the Giants came on even
terms with The Yank's for the series
and now ook like winners.

Giants stickers came through. Just
how great May pitched up 10 that
time IS evidenced IN the fact that
hut one man had gotten as far as
second during that time, and that
man reached first on an error.
Ruth won the admiration of the
crowd. Many extra editions Of the
oc7l papers had been published
saying that Ruth was definitely out
of the lineup for the day. About
10 minutes before game time Man
ager Huegins sent word TO the press
stand that Ruth might play. A few
seconds later Babe came out Of the
oleacher entrance TO the clubhouse
and the stands gave him the great
EST cheer heard since the Serie
started. Probably many OF tn
$4,000 or more were offering al
apologetic cheer for the razzin
they gave the Home-Run Kin

Not many men would have playel

Bambino did. His elbow is band

not do his best either in the field o
