Retires to Let Mays Pitch in
Gripping Finish-Miller
Saves Game.
By DANIEL.

Into the fast gathering shadows
they fought tooth and nail at the Polo
Grounds yesterday--into the purple
dusk they carried their furious
struggle for the climactic game of the
American League race. And at the
close the star of the one and only
Babe Ruth was at it's zenith-the
,loubly triumphant Yankees were in
The ascendancy. 1t was largely through
he Berserker, invincible power of
Ruth, who crashed out two home runs
and double. and the scintillating
pitching by Waite Hoyt that the New
FORKS defeated the Clevelands by to
! and stretched their lead into little
more than two games.
Not since a Yankee club lost a final
contest and pennant to the Red Sox
On a wild pitch by Jack Chesbro had
he New Yorks engaged in so critical
= battle. Never before had a Ceve-
land team been confronted with a test
which meant so much. For the YAM
KEGS defeat carried still another tie
Tor the leadership and all too OBJ
viousIy an advantage for the Cleve-
lands. For the Indians victory meant
= great opportunity in the dash down
he homestretch--defeat meant the
lhrottling of hopes, eclipse, the loss
II a title won so brilliantly against
he Dodgers last fall.
And for the Indians came defeat, dis
ppointment and everything else that
vent with that drear duo. The Cleve-
,Gnds stalsed their all on that one game.
Once more they called on Stanley
Coveles1ie, their pitching ace. who had
heen defeated by Ruth in the first con-
est OF the series. This time the spit
pall master was sent into full retreat.
Uhle MnItrented, Too.
In wild despair Iris Speaker called
again on George Uhle. who had scored
20 impressive a shutout over the New
forks on Saturday. And this time the
lhle right handler did not have the sat-
sfaction of pitching to the finish. A
homo run by Schang in the wake of a
iit by McNally in the sixth inning
proved the undoing OF Uhle, and in the
Dat for him. Guy Morton faced the
Yankees in their last turn and was eased
out of trouble by double play
The Yankees were not without their
changes In the box. too. First 1t was
lack Quinn who essayed to turn back
he hit mad, run thirsty Indians
Quinn had flashed a wondrous game In
mis- previous outing. but yesterday he
was not quite up tothe mark. 1t was
fighting host. with backs to the wall
which Quinn had to face and there were
evidences that the New York support
,ng cast was not quite confident that
ne veteran spitballer could turn the
rick These evidences piled up in a
lectic first in which the Clevelands put
over three runs and built up a handicap
'or the Yanks which many regarded as
. snsurmountable.s
With Indians on second and third
and two out Hoyt was rushed to the
re~ue-and what a brilliant relief he
oroved After walking O'Neill on pur-
ros to fill the bases Hoyt struck out
Co2eleskie and started out on series
- flashing feats which sent the $500
onlbokers into one uproar after another
Hott already had beaten tine Cievelands
IN the opening clash. and now he pitched
with all the knowledge and confidence
