Circuit crash No. AZ Of the Babes
came in the first inning, the ball just
clearing the high screen which is at
tached to the right field wall. AS
though dissatisfied with this compare
tive "fuke" hit, Ruth, on his next ap-
pearance at bat in the third inning,
sent the ball high over the roof of
tall dwelling house on Lexington
Avenue. There was absolutely no mis-
take about this second lambaster.
Both homers were knocked at the
expense of our old friend Ray Cald-
well. who started out as the Indian
pitcher. The victory cut Cleveland's
lead in the pennant race to one point.
Caldwell gave way to Mails in the
fourth.
Veteran Holds Champions
To the surprise of the dopesters
Manager Higgins picked the aged
Jack Quinn to do the New York pitch
ing, and for once Midget Hug proved a
good picker. Quinn held the cham
pions to five hits, one of which was q
homer and accounted for the only
Cleveland run.
Undismayed by the reverses suf-
fered so far in tho midwest, the
Yanks had real business air about
them this afternoon, and in the first
inning caused the shivers Of DESPAIR
to play tag up and down the backs Of
Cleveland players and fans With one
man out Peckinpaugh reached first on
SewelPs tumble. Battering Babe
strolled to the plate to the accom-
paniment Of roar that caused the elm
trees surrounding Dunn Field to SWAY
with expectancy, and Ray Caldwell tool,
an extra hitch at his trousers and
faced the swatter.
Two balls, strike, then another ball.
and then the ball was seen to climn
skyward in the general direction Of
Elmer Smiths beat" Smith backed
up against the fence and Iris Sneaker
came running over in time to ioin his
fellow outfielder before gentle zephyr
waited the ball over the screen. Meusel

Colonel Tillinghast Huston settled back
IN his box seat, a picture of ruddv de-
light.
In the second the Yanks gathered in
an ordinary run. Ward doubled to
right and took third on McNally's sac
ritice, Caldwell to Johnston. Wallv
Schang then drove the ball safely out
to Speaker, and Ward crossed tho
plate. Schang was caught at second
trying to stretch his hit and Quinn
famed.
Big Setting is Duplicated
The third inning afforded exactiv
the same setting for the Babe as the
first. Miller went out on fly to CEN
ter and Peckinpaugh singled to the
same field. The demon clouter was fed
three balls in a row by Caldwell, and
then Ray tried to sneak a slow one
over the plate. Ruth met this foater
with the result already enumerated.
and the hopes of Cleveland I II this
particular battle died right there,
Elmer Smiths homer came In the
fourth after Wambsganss and Speaker
had gone out on easy grounders.
The final ankee run was produced
in the fourth while Buster Mails was
doing the Cleveland box work. With
McNally disposed Of, short to first,
Schang doubled to right and scored
when Wamby allowed Quinn's hot
grounder to go through his legs.
Manager Higgins announced after
the game that Tom Rogers, big right
handler from the Buffalo club of the
International League, had been signed
by the Yankees. He Joined his new
team tonight.

Peckinpaugh made clever stop ard
throw of ONeill's mean roller in the
third, retiring Steve at first. Pipn's
quick toss to Ward almost nabbed
Johnston off second 1t looked az
though Doc was out, but Umpire
Moriarty ruled otherwise.
Great Catch by Ruth
Ruth made wonder catch Of SewelI's
foul in the fifth. The big fellow raced
come fifty yards to get the ball at his
shoe tops.
After knocking his two homers the
Babe, caused much jubilation in the
third trip to the plate. He finally
