Veteran Bush
Is q Winner
Over Kid Hoyt
Cast-Offs Walters and Nc
Nally Produce All the
Tallies for Rival Teams
By Charles A. Taylor

BOSTON, Sept. e.-Joe Bush took
on q new lease of life this afternoon
and the Red Sox defeated the Yankees
| by score Of to 1. The pennant-
chasing Gothamites were able TO obtain
only six hits from Bullet joe" three
of them being doubles.
Waite Hoyt, the kid pitcher Of Flat
bush, was but step behind Bush in
pitching effectiveness, but the so-called
breaks" were all against him. Hoyt
permitted nine safeties, of which two
were doubles.
All Walters, who was traded to Back
Bay by the Yanks two years ago, had
whole lot to do with the downfall
Of the Hugmen. He drove in one Sox
run with single and scored the other
himself.
Bob Meusel, after hitting rampage
that bid fair to eclipse all records, was
helpless in the hands of Bush to-day.
He made nary safety and drove one
ball beyond the infeld.
Ruth Gets Mere Single
Babe Ruth also was in a subdued
mood, getting one single. This hit
was line drive to right in the ninth,
which travelled so fast John Collins
couldn't hold the ball.
1t was not the Yankees day, and to
sum up Joe Bush made them look like
"bushers." The same teams meet in q
double header tomorrow at the Polo
Grounds.
The scoring began in the fourth in
ming, each team ringing the gong once
Rx, ~ fhnco or frao lie af fofc
it was McNally, a former Red Sox,
who drove in the Yankee run, and
Walters, an exYankee, who sent the
Boston tallies home.
For the Yanks Meusel fell an easy
victim, Pratt to McInnis, but Pipp
shot two-bagger to the knoll in left
Wards out, second to first, advanced
Pipp to third, whence he scored on Nc
Nally's drive over second. A fine throw
by Walters cut down McNally as he
sought to steal second.
Wild Throw by Ruth
"Stuffy" McInnis opened the Sox
fourth with a double over Ruth's
head. Hoyt stopped John Collins's hard
smash with his bare hand and threw
to McNally, forcing McInnis: Peckin-
third. Walters singled past third
scoring Collins, and raced all the way
to third on Ruth's wild throw home.
Pipp disposed of Bush with fine stop
The Red Sox won the game in the
seventh. Our old friend Al Walters
again playing stellar role. Scott led
off with a single to center, but was
forced at second on Walters's groundel
to Hoyt. Bush flied to Meusel- and
then Walters lit out for second and
made the bag as Devormer dropped
the pitch. Memo Liebold inserted q
safe drive over second which scored
Walters. Foster fouled out to Pipp
Ward opened the second with two

laborated neatly in disposing of
Cruise, Southworth going to third
whence he strolled home when Boeckel
pasted the ball to the center-feld
fence for a home run.
Bill Cunningham was sent in to bat
for Barnes in the eighth, but he could
do no more with Fillingim than the
rest of McGraw's employees. Phil
Douglas, making his first appearance
since the hectic Pittsburgh series.
pitched the ninth inning for the
Giants, and Cruise greeted him with
q one-base smash that was too hot for
Bancroft. Boeckel sacrificed him to
second and he went to third when
Holke beat out bunt down the third
base line. Cruise scored and Holke
reached second on q double steal. Ford
drew four balls and the last one was
q wild pitch, on which Holke went to
third. Gowdy famed and Douglas
threw out Fillingim.
Umpire Moran made no hit with
either team yesterday by the way in
which he called balls and strikes. In
the third he called both Frisch and
Barnes out. Both heaved their bats
from the plate almost to the dugout.

WANT FRENCH
TO KEEP TURKS AT PEACE

NEW YORK, May 13-The an
nouncement that the French troops
would be withdrawn from the Cilicia
district of Turkey as a result of ne
gotiations with Turkish Nationalist
caused a panic among the Armenian
residents there, according to DR..
j. K. Martin, relief worker st
Aintab, in a report sent to the
Near East Relief.
DR.. Martin says that most of the
Armenians were leaving that city
as fast as they could and that the
poorer people who could not afford
to leave were almost distraughr
with fear. The Turks have become
bolder and more threatening since
reports of the contemplated French
evacuation were received.
The missionary quoted reported
boast of the Moslems that they
would rebuild their shattered mi
narets and mosques with Christian
skulls, and says this has not failed
to have its effect on the Armenians.
DR.. Martin adds:
"An Armenian said to me: we
would all of us go calmly, joyfully,
to some desert place if only per-
mission were given US. We would
prefer to die of hunger and star
walton many times rather than once
again fall into the hands of the in
human Turks
