New-York tribune., 1921-06-21

1AiS oi4Ns came as Httlhg cAimaN
to g contest fraught with thrilling in
cidents. The Yankees stepped out and
gathered in four runs in the first
frame, only to have the Red Sox bat
out three counters while the crowd Of
5000 spectators went wild for the mo-
ment. The Red Sox even dug up the
squeeze play TO put over counter,
with Shano Collins, the Gloucester
fisherman, dumping run scoring
tally.
The Sox could not score off Mays
until the eighth, when, with the Yanks
leading TO 3, they tied the score and
again used the squeeze play, Ruel
bunting over the tieing run.
Roth Pitchers Hit Freely
Both Mays and Myers we're hit
freely, but fair support held down the
runs. Indeed. there is no telling what
might have happened had Tim Hen
dirk caught Bob Meuse's long drive
in the first inning. With Ruth or
second base Bob drove to the edge of
the right field bleachers but Hendrix,
losing the ball in the sun, made
futile grab for the leather and broke
his little finger trying to make
catch. That played prominent part
in the scoring festivities. An error
by Ruth helped the SoX in the same
inning.
There were several batting heroes
for the afternoon. Ruth with his
winning homer stood out, and the
Babe also hit double and a single.
while Meusel had two clean drives.
Jack McInnis had four clean hits.
Miller Higgins shifted his lineup
for the occasion. He placed Chick
Hawks in left field and had him lead
the attack. Baker was moved up to
fourth position, while Pipp was
dropped to sixth place. The combina-
tion played we'll together and for the
time being it will not be disturbed.
The roar of heavy hits started in the
first inning, and the Yankees had some
what the better of the duel. Hawks
walked on four wide ones, and when
Peck sacrificed Hawks pranced to sec
ond. Ruth stepped up to the front and
drove to the top of the left field fence
for two bases, Hawks scoring.
Hendryx Drops Meusers Fly
Baker fouled to Witt, but Meusel flied
20 the right center field hleaehers, and
when Hendryx allowed the ball to drop
Meusel went to third, scoring Ruth.
1lpps Texas Lacquer was good for o.
double, scoring Meusel, and Wards tap,
also a Texas Lacquer, was good for
base, driving Pipp across the rubber
The Red Sox received Mays with
great enthusiasm. Oscar Witt bounced
one into center field for base hit, and
Mike Menosky followed suit. Ruth al
lowed this crack to bounce off his knee,
and the ball went for another base.
Pratt was out on a grounder to Peek,
Witt scoring and Menosky going to
third
Liebold, who batted for Hendryx,
singled to short left center, Hawks
dropping the ball after hard run, and
McIunis then walloped the leather to
center, putting Liebold on third. When
John Collins put on & successful
squeeze play, Liebold scored the third
run Of the frame.
The Yanks got busy in the sixth in
ming and put across run. Pipp opened
sacrifice, but Witt allowed his bunt to
roll The ball held to the foul line
end went for base hit, Pipp taking
third. Schang hit almost to the flag
pole for sacrifice fly and Pipp crossed
the plate. The Yankees scored again
in the eighth on a single by Meusel
and a triple by Ward.
Red sox Tie in Eighth
Inc leSd OF tnFee runs looked pretty
good, considering the way Mays was
pitching, but the Red Sox rallied i'll
tho eighth inning and tied the score,
Liebold lined viciously to Pipp.
McInns singled 30 center and John
Collins came to the fore with a smack
to right. Scott tripled to center,
cleaning up, and Ruel bunted fine
squeeze, sending Scott over with the
rur that tied the score.
The score:
