W As for home runs, the two OF yesGer-H
- day were especially historic. as the
balls which were hit so hard and so far
dropped into certain sections of the
y bleachers which hitherto had been i'm
.. rnune, seemingly, against such depre-
DO dations.
-. The first home run of the afternoon
came from the bat of the Demon Swat
liter, and it was a wonder. Ty Cobb once
punished the ball so hard that 1t sailed
almost to the same spot that Babes

ero. And as for Bob Meusel, he almost bet
4&ered yesterday his mighty smash Of
last year, when the bali he projected
fell into one of the exit alleyways in
sthe same bleachers. The ball Meusel
shattered yesterday found resting
place in an idle elevated train perched
above the field, with employees waiting
to confscate just such homer. The
bali was confscated.
1t was a glorious Sabbath In the
scoring line for the Yankees. They
shot runners across the platter in every
ssfnning save the first and the last,

only day before over the feebleness
OF the Hugmen, were able to accumu-

general collapse.
McNally started this frame by reach
Gng first in safety following Lamotte's
error. Meusel walked, and when Harris
dropped Shanks's throw to first the bases
were filed. Rain began to fall at this
stage and a halt of five minutes ensued,
which was to the discontinue of Ward,
who, when play resumed, hit to Shanks,
only to force out McNally at the plate.
Meusel proved himself too daring by
overrunning third and was snuffed out
by Gharrity's toss to Shanks. Schang
singled to center, scoring Pipp, but
Hoyt popped TO Mogridge.
Yanks Stow Game Away
The Yankees really slowed the game
away in the third inning, when the
"home-run fever" broke out again,
Fewster passed out by way of Shanks
to Judge, but Peckinpaugh singled to
left center and waltzed across the plate
when the Babe smashed his homer.
McNally was an easy out on a fly to
Harris, but Meusel then woke from his
home-run lethargy by driving the ball
