Bob Shawkey isn't delivering victories
very frequently these days. He has lost
his last two games. He pitched exceed
ingly well for seven innings yesterday.
although put in bad at the outset by poor
defensive plays by himself, Schang and
Meusel.
Having won only one game from New
York this year. the Tigers were due TO
win another; at least the Yankees played
as il they thought so
Although the Tigers jumped away
with three runs, associated with which
was one hit only, the Yankees in their
half of the inning had as good chance.
They fell right down on the chance,
cept Ruth, did little hustling thereafter.
The Babe never stops hustling and nsver
droops. He, together with Baker and
Meusel. failed in pinch In the first, but
he kept on playing hard and was most of
what there was OF a limp attack.
Leonard Tames Yankees.
Dutch Leonard tanned the Yankee hit
tors. He pitched an even, capable game.
His singing was right snappy and
elusive. His fast one hoped by at the
corner. Ty Cobb was back with the
Tigers. subdued and self effacing, but
just the same doing some damaging
deeds with the bat He flogged ShawlSey
for home run and triple, and Jones
tapped ShawSey for homo run.
Shawhey did one thing, however. He
stopped Harry Heilmann, the nations
leading hitter, and pitching is not with
out it's virtues which gives o .i23 hitter
no hits in four visits to the plate.
Things went conspicuously wrong in
the first inning. and in both sections

Shawkey hadn't that wire edge Of con-
troll so valuable to pitchers. Then again
he threw Bushs bunt 70 third instead
of first, getting nobody. That raiscal-
culation cost a run.
ShawSey had two strikes on Cobb, and
would have struck him out IL Schang
had held foul tip. But he didn't hold

play was too close in.

Camp followers Of the Giants are be-
moaning the failure of Emil Meusel TO
hit in pinches. 1t has been a family
failing of late Bob Meusel hasn't hit
In pinches or out of them fw three
games, and he was responsible for three
alien runs yesterday by dropping two
flies. He goes Emil one better in the
fraternal slump. He's been not only a
negative but a positive factor In the

Fewster walked and Peck singled In
the New York half of the first inning
then Leonard stepped on the gas Ruth
fouled 10 Jones, Baker struck out and
Meusel hit high but much foreshort-
ened fly, n useless kind he had fancy
for. The yanlSs seemed to lose heart
by reason OF their rebuff in the first
inning, developed a palid attack and
didn't revive their spirits to any appre-
ciable extent, barring, as narrated, the
unquenchabe spirits Of Ruth.
Ruth's double and Pipps fly gave
them run In the fourth, and Peck's
walk. Ruth's double and Bakers single
gave them two in the eighth. The two
runs floated in before anybody was out
but the onslaught curled UP. Cobb hit
a slashing homer into the upper stand
In the third. Meusel started scoring in
the eighth by misjudglng and muffing
Bush's line fly. and the city OF Straits
set tanned Shawkey In the ninth for
home run, two bagger and q single.
