We might say that the Red Sox
were a-Mays-ed AZ the Polo Grounds
yesterday afternoon. They lugged
many wicked looking bats 10 the plate
and made numerous threatening mo-
tons. but they emassed only four
hits and a monotonous string of
bitter nothings in the run column.
With Carl pitching about as well a.
he did against the Athletics on the
opening day II was comparatively easy
for the right handler and the Yankees
TO score a shutout. by 10 Q.
What role did Babe Ruth play in
the victory? Well. he was about as
prominent as a deaf mute az a kaffce
klatch. The Babe made four valiant
efforts to land his second home run
OF the season, but the best he could
do was to walk. However, there was
nary a strikeout In his days record.
The first time UP Ruth polcd a long
fly to Hendryx. When the Babe ap-
pearcd at the plate for the second time
Peckinpaugh was on second By virtue
OF a double and Sam Jones decided
In the NTH inning Ruth slammed
hot one to McInnis and slid 10 first. but
Stuffy got there ahead OF the runner.
There was a wild mixup, in which the
anxious Babe came near getting ac-
cuainted with McInnis's spikes. In his
last effort the home run king was tossed
out by Pratt. So those who came 10
zee Rdth perform throbbing deeds with
the bat were cheated. But those who

Mays Is All There.
1t was mighty interesting to watch
Mays and his underhand delivery. The
big blond worked as II he had consumed
a bushel of legumes and half dozen
cakes of yeast. Those well known Vita
mines stood out In his pitching like spots
on youngster with the measles. Carl
had q world OF speed, and when he put
something on the ball II showed more
fummadiddles than circus clown and
was about as elusive ms a complete un-
derstanding OF the theory of RELATIVELY.
In the first four innings Boston's sue
cess in hitting and In getting on base
through any other medium was ten d.
mensions smaller than a diving venuss
one piece bathing suit. In that space
only twelve Red Sox faced Mays. Mo-
body hit, nobody received a pass or got
acquainted with first In any other way
1t was Theoretically sealed pitching II
ever we saw II.
The fifth inning saw Del Pratt get
Boston's first hit--a single to right
which opened the round. The former
Yankee got to second on an infeld out.
but there he languished. In the sixth
inning the Duffy clan embarrassed Mays
just wee bit and crowded the bases on
him, but Carl was the master when the
big moment came.
Witt started the sixth with a single 20
right and Menosky hit to left Mays
perhaps was perturbed and emitted a
wild pitch, but he famed Hendryx.
Pratt was walked on purpose--a devel-
opment which brought Kisses from the
fairest minded fandom in the major
leagues. 1t was up TO Shane Collins 10
deliver. but the former White Sox lifted
a hy to Ruth. In the ninth round Me-
Innis got a single-the fourth and last
hit off Mays
Second behind Mays among the New
York heroes of the damp field Of battle
was Wallie P!pp, who landed two sin
giles and double and made every one
OF his swats count in the run getting
and Pipp batted in that tally In the
first round. his halo should shine all the
more brilliantly. Wallie was being
watched closely by Pipp Pater. who saw
the shindig from the press trench and
masticated one OF those Barney Oldfield
cigars.
Yankees Lose No Time.
Fewster collaborated with Pipp in
producing the first run. Chick banged
the first pitch into left for base. and
was sacrificed along with Peckinpaugh.
Ruth filed to Hendryx. and the skier was
so long that Fewster was able TO make
third after the catch. Pipp then pasted
one TO centre and Chick scored.
Time and four innings passed before
another Yankee run was registered
Pipp started the sixth with double to
right. Meusel fouled 10 McInnis and
Bodle grounded TO McInnis. giving
Wallie chance to scamper TO third.
whence he trotted home when Ward
doubled to left.
In the eighth inning Myers soon dis
posed OF Ruth. The Babe hit the first
ball pitched 10 Pratt who smiled a smile
as broad as the Harlem. Pipp drilled q
single to right and scored when Meusel
tripled 10 left. Menosky might have
caught the Meusel offering, brt just as
he set himself to grab the liner n mean
cloud moved about a quarter OF an inch.
This sent a spear OF light shooting into
Menosky's eyes and he lost the ball
Bodle followed with single 10 left
and scored Meusel. Ping was forced by
Ward and up came wallie Schdng. still
minus his first hit OF the season.
There seemed to be widespread anx-
iety over Schang's plight, and most OF
the fans rooted for success In his last
chance OF the day. Wallie took ter
rifle whack at the ball and II looked as
II he were due to touch third, but Collins
ran back almost 10 the centre field
bieachers and made as pretty catch
as you would want TO see. There were
some groans on behalf OF Schang. b,'t
thousand gave Collins a cheer that his
