Wallie Pipp was the man VINO de-
livered the goods when the first and
ail-necessary run was made. And il
was more than auspicious for Wally
as his forebear. Colonel Pipp, from De-
troit, was watching every move of his
fledgling. OF course, Chick Fewster
deserves part of the credit for that
first run, for Chick was the boy that
opened matters with single to left
Peckinpaugh contributed nifty
sacrifice bunt. The Big Babe added
nothing but q long towering fly to
right which was gobbled by Hendrix,
and then came Wally with hot smash
TO center, which carried Fewster over.
Three more runs were collected by
the Yankees, and nasmuch as the
rival Red Sox made none, the story of
the game as far as the offensive end is
concerned can be told by relating
how the things that counted happened.
