New-York tribune., 1921-06-14

The Babes prodigious wallop was his
twenty-first home run of the season,
as he had a few innings previous
spilled another circuit clout into the
upper tier of the right field stands
in the third inning. Ruth has made
five homcrs in the last four days, ana
has thereby established major league
record. He had previously been joint
holder of the mark of four in four
days. This latter record was first
established in 1902 by w. J. Bradley,
formerly of the Cleveland Indians.
Yesterdays contest was the first this
season in which the Babe had poked
out two home runs.
Ruth not only had field day at the
bat, but also made his first appearance
in the box since he pitched the Yankees
to victory over the Senators last year.
The Babe was trine wild, but he
Jared pretty we'll until the fifth in
ming, when he was bumped for q double
and two triples. he was finally taken
out and shifted to center field in the
sixth inning, after he had issued his
seventh base on balls.
Mays Also Taken Out
Carl Mays was sent to the mound,
but was removed in favor of Alex
Ferguson in the eighth. The Tigers
scored three runs during the regime
of the former Jersey City pitcher, but
the Yankees had long since established
q comfortable lead.
Before Ruth made his departure
from the mound he had the satisfaction
of tanning no less a parsonage then
Ty Cobb, in the fifth inning.
The Babes pair of wallops were not
of Of 70,
Chicken" Hawks and j. Franklin Baker
Also hit for the circuit. Hawks drove
sne out to the exit gate in center field
in the second inning and tore around
the bases like streak of creased light
ming, Ward scoring ahead of him. Ba-
ker's homer came in the third inning
and dropped into the right field stands.
EhHke, who went the route for the
Tigers, was forced to take a lot Of pun
ishment. The Yankees battered the tall
right handler for sixteen hits, eight Of
which went for extra bases.
Schang's Arm Badly Hurt
In the third inning Ehmke hit WalIie
Schang terrific blow on the right
arm with pitched ball. Schang fell
to the ground and had to be assisted
TO the dugout. He retired from the
game and was replaced by Fred Hof-
Hau- An Array examination last
night showed that Schang's arm was
badly bruised. 1t will be recalled that
it was the same Ehmke who broke
Steve O'NeiPs arm in recent game
with the champion Indians.
The Yankees started their parade
around the bases in the first inning
when they got off to a one-run lead on
two bases on balls. a stolen sack and
sacrifice fly by Pipp. They gathered
two more in the second on single by
Ward and Hawkes. home run. They
added three more, in the third on hom-
ers by Ruth and Baker and two

After allowing only one hit during
the first four innings, Ruth was found
for three safeties in the fifth and
these, combined with an error by Peck
inpaugb, netted the visitors four runs.
Young led off with double along the
right field foul line and completed the
circuit on tumble by Peckinpaugh on
Bush's grounder.
Bush stole second with the aid of
passed ball and Cobb then struck out,
but the heavy hitting Heilman drove
out threebagger to center field, scor-
ing Bush. Veach followed with another
