MeuseI ON Hitting Spree.

Though Ruth was more or less shack

was on rampage. In addition to his
triple and homer he hit a single. He

Peckinpaugh came out of his batting
slump with three singles and Pipp
matched that record. Mays was one OF
the most dangerous and effective slam
mers of the slammlng day, and put to-
gether two one baggers and a double,
driving in three tallies.
The Yankees not only hit hard, but
they played a spectacular game in the

Pipp and Meuse' also contributed to the

Rain spoils the Day.

II was hardly a day for a classic.
Rain threatened as the teams went
through their practice, and no sooner
had they started than 1t began to come
down. In the third the slight prccipita-
tion stopped. but II resumed operations
from time to time. Every seat and
every available place outside OF the
seats was occupied. In spite OF the poor
showing of the Yanits the day before
the fans were confident that with Mays
in the box the tide would be turned
for somehow the Yanlss get more runs
for Mays tlran for any other pitcher.
The first round went by with a couple
OF startiers--a great play by Ward on
Jameson and hot single by Ruth,
which went 10 waste when Meusel
Tanned for the third out In the scc-
bnd things began to happen. With two
put the Indians put men on FIRST and
third on pass 70 Sewell and a single
by Burns, but Pipp made a great stop
OF O'Neills drive and beat the hitter TO
the bag.
Then came the Yankees for their
haif--and trouble aplenty for Caldwell
Pipp singled and Ward was easy for
Speaker. McNally doubled to right
centre and scored Pipp. Speaker played
Mac for n dead left field hitter and was
crossed sadly. Schang was passed to
get at Mays, who got nt Caldwell with
n spanking double to left and drove In
MeNally. Schang scored too, but wac
sent back as some spectator In left
field had interefered with Jameson.
Miller tripled through Sewell and to the
left field fence--a homer IL ever there
was one. But Elmer was stopped nt
third. Schang and Mays had scored
and that was sufIiciency for Caldwell.
