The first game was heartbreaker'
from the Yankee standpoint. Old op-
portunity kept knocking in vain at New
York's door all through the heated con-
troversy. Shawkey and Shocker were
the pitchers, the former allowing seven
hits and the latter eight Each famed
nine batters. Tobin's home run in the
fifth with two on base was the telling
blow of the close battle.
Bill Bayne, southpaw, was the hero
of the second contest. He held the
Yanks to four hits and famed ten of
them. Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel each
the New York pitcher for the first
seven innings, being relieved by Bill
Percy in the eighth. The poor play
ing of Wally Schang behind the bat
aided considerably in disconcerting
rip"
Sisler Pokes Out Double
The Browns scored the first run of
the opening game in the fourth. Tobin
famed, but Ellerbe doubled over Ruth's
head. Sisler followed with a two-bag-
ger in the left field crowd, Ellerbe scor-
ing. Williams, however, flied out to
Meusel and Peckinpaugh tossed out
Jacobson.
Luck broke against Shocker in the
fifth and the Yankees assumed a one
run lead. Schang walked. Shawkey
hunted to Sisler, who threw too late
tc second for force-out, and both
runners were safe. Miller sacrificed.
Peckinpaugh hit to Ellerbe, who threw
wildly to the plate, Schang scoring.
Ruth smashed a grounder at Sisler,
who failed to get Peckinpaugh at Sec
ond: but was back on first to receive
Gerber's toss, which retired the Babe.
Shawkey scored on this play
A home run into the right field
bleachers, with two men on base, put
the Browns in the lead in their half of
the fifth. Shawkey had disposed of the
first two batters when the trouble
started. McManus singled to left and
advanced to third on Shocker's safety
to center. Tobn then made the crowd
joyful with his crash.
The Yankees tied the score in the
tempestuous sixth, and, had it not been
for brainless coaching on the part of
Charles OLeary, might have done much
better. Ward doubled to right center,
McNally walked and Schang was hit
by a pitched ball, filling the bases.
Ward ran home before the ball was
returned to the pitchers box and was
touched out by SEVERED.
Miller Higgins Assaulted
There ensucd a riotous kick when
Umpire Connolly ordered Ward back to
third. During the melee one of the
Brown players took swing at Higgins,
who tried to battle his way through the
mob about the plate and get at his as
sailant. Higgins was finally dragged

With play resumed after a twenty
minute wrangle Miller singled to CEN

1npaugh singled over third and O'Leary
foolishly permitted Shawkey to attempt
to score. Bob was easily thrown out
at the plate by Williams. Ruth was
purposely passed and Shocker tossed
out Meusel.
The Browns won the game in their
half of the sixth, Sisler scoring run
on his own single, a sacrifice and a
safety by Jacobson.
A passed ball was responsible for the
first run of the second engagement,
which fell to the lot Of the Browns in
the second inning. Jacobson singled to
center and went all the way to third
when Schang allowed a pitch to go
through him. Severeid's infeld out
scored Jacobson.
