BOSTON, June 23.-There were two
incidents that saved this afternoon
from being total loss in a baseball
way. In the first place Babe Ruth
crashed his twenty home run OF
the season; the other happening was
that the Yankees beat the Red Sox and
fought their way to even terms in their
six-game series. The score was 6 to !.
Ruth made his cleanup drive in the
fifth inning. Two hands were down at
the time, with Roger Peckinpaugh nes-
thing cloge to first base. It was quite
obvious that something had to be done
and since Ruth had not made a clean
up smash since the opening day of the
series the fans began to suspect that
| this might be the time and the place.
mahlen eased one through the middle,
straight as string. The rest was
| easy. BY the time the fans had ceased
| fighting over the ball Ruth was half
way back to the bench.
| Rip Collins was on the mound for
New York and not only did he. last the
| entire nine innings, feat which has
become something Of more than un-
usual Importance, but he hurled fine
ball. Rip was bit wild in spells but
he settled down in game fashion and

Yankees Score Early.
The Yankees lost no time in scoring
| and they put over two runs IN the first
| inning. After Fewster grounded to
Pratt, Peckinpaugh shot a single to
right and Ruth drew base on balls.
Baker singled to right, scoring Peckin-
| paugh Meusel followed with another
single to right, scoring Ruth. Pipp
lifted fly to Menosky and Baker was
cut down at the plate in attempting to
score after the catch.
In the fourth the Yanks got busy
| again and showed another run across.
Baker led off with single to right
and Meusel shot another single through
the box. Both runners advanced on
Pipp's sacrifice and Ward was then hit
by a pitched ball, filing the bases.
Schang flied to Collins and Baker COM
pleted the circuit after the catch. On
an attempted double steal Mcusel was
nailed at the plate for the third out.
i After Collins had been thrown out
on splash in front of the plate and
Fewster had grounded to Scott in the
fifth, Peckinpaugh bounced a single
past Scott. Ruth then connected for
his circuit clout, which landed in the
right field bleachers. 1t was said to be
the longest hit ever made into those
stands. Baker ended the inning by
popping to Scott.
/ Red Sox Prevent Shut-Out
The Red Sox had previously showed
their lone run across in the fourth. j.
Collins opened the inning with two
Dagger to center. Scott hit to Rip Col
Inns and j. Collins was run down be-
tween second and third bases. Scott
went all the way to the midway on the
play. Scott then reached third on a
wild pitch and scored while Schang
was throwing out Walters. The up
rising ended at this point, as Thor
mahlen struck out.
The Yankees scored their final run
in the seventh. Schang doubled to left,
with none out, and moved to third on
Rip Collins's sacrifice. Fewster poked
a single to center, scoring Schang, but
Peckinpaugh lined to j. Collins and
Fewster was doubled off first base.
