tain winner. Then single by Sisler. =

tonal passes and q pitch SO wild that It
caromcd or the batter's shoulder and

men on base and the Yankees lacking
one run Of a tie. the great Bambiro
hoisted u ball into the centre field
bleachers for his thirteenth homer OF the

run lead.
This lead looked to he enough, but
Ferguson. who had let the Browns down
with only three hits and four runs two
OF them unearhed, in the preceding six
innings, went to pieces In the seventh
and had to be replaced. The assignment
was given to Quinn. who tossed the game
away.

runs. Mitchell led or with an infield
hit. Peck popped to Gerber and the
Babe waa deprived of an extra base hit
when Jacobson backed up against the
centre field fence and while against the
barrier apeared a hoist that just did
fall short of being the great Bambino's
thirteenth home run of the season.
Pipp then beat out splash through
tho box. He advanced to third, and
