With Slight Attack of Flu
May Work Today.
By wEsTBRooK PEGLER.


PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 2s.-The
Ruthless Yanks laid rowdy hands
on Connie Mack's young men at the
once-famous reservation called
Shibe Park, defeating them to 0
this afternoon. while the Indians
were losing by the same score TO
the White Sox in Chicago.
This gave the Yanks q further
margin of one full game over the
Indians, and II New York wins
again tomorrow, or II Cleveland
loses again, the pennant will be
in" for the Yapks, the first in their
long history.
The Yankees are ready to begin
signing checks against their share
of the world series receipts Not
a man on the club believes they can
lose now. although percentages say
otherwise.
Ruth Has @Flu."
Babe Ruth did not come to Phila-
delphia, as he found out this morn
ing he was entertaining a mild put
enterprising culture of the nu'
which gave him a furious cough
and cause to complain Manager
Miller Higgins. of the Yanks, pro-
fessed TO be undisturbed. however,
saving this was minor league nu
and certain not to stand the Bape
mace. The news of Ruth's disaoil-
ity was. kept out OF oazaaIs anu
market places. however, until aiter
the game began. least the ie" IN
domfta bles who still follow tne
Athletics on their eVer-oo"h"aiu
course be deferred from presentlns
themselves and their savings at 'he
afternoons funeral.
Sitting back on the bench with
the priestly-looking Connie Mack
tbese athletes might deceive any
one, for they wear regular base
ball uniforms. though of an anna
teurish bfue and white: they nave
spikes on their shoes and gloves at
hand, and a Juvenile tamracket OF
hats spread out formidably on the
ground before their dugout. Even
when coming to the plate they
preserve the illusion. for they rup
their hands in dirt and they wipe
them on their shirts. even as the
notorious Casey. of Mudville-
Sometimes the bolder of them
chance a spiteful glare, a testy
''tut-tut" at the umpire. But in the
hsId their caps fall off. they lose
their gloves. their shoes come un-
tied. they stumble and -all down.
they run in on long fies and run
back on short ones, and they throw
girl fashion when they don't forget
to throw at all.
These are the people the Yanks
are playing on their last three
nf the season. wn1le
the moor Indians are playing final
series of four with the White Sox
in Chicago.
Yanks Get Two in Second.
The fans actually shouted framed
up" during this afternoons repeu-
tion of the dismal Philadelphia
routine. Could fiattery go further!
Tine Yanks. without Babe Ruth and
with Bob Shawkey hog-riding along
on choppy support. went out ana
took the game just like that.
In the second inning Dykes. play
ing second for the Athletics sa"
wallie Pipp's grounder coming his
way.
"Well. see you later" said Dykes
IN Shortstop Galloway. Here COMES
the ball" The second baseman was
right on the ball. How he could
miss il is a physical mystery, yet
he didn't touch it, and Pipp was
safe. McNally hit to short center
and welch ran in too far by hve
Yards. the ball dropping behind him
q Walker, who ran over from le1t
20 back him up. took kick at IL.
Meantime, Pipp was scoring and NC

McNally.
The Yanks got another in the
third and in the seventh two more.
The two more happened In manner
and sequence as follows:

the Yanks while Babe rolled on MS
nallet of pain on Broadway. New

second, then stole second himself
with two out. Roger Peckinpaugn
slammed one of Slim Harris fast
ones into the left-field bleachers,
arousing the sleepers there, ana got
a home run. Fewster scoring aneso.
There was considerable disorder
over this incident. Several men
shouted aloud and jumped up and
down. The policemen, oozine IN
chairs along the outfield wall, were

here is a quick and chilly change
from that of New York with two
baIl clubs almost 'in" with their
nennants. But Philadelphia is said

Bob shawkey allowed only one
clean hit in today's game, Braziils

four others, all exceedingly
