the TACT that two thunder storms cen
Bluff during the afternoon.
The first storm broke at o'clochs
ana the start of the game was delayed I
for half hour. The second down
pour came in the Yankee half of the
fourth inning, and another half hours
delay resulted. Iris Speaker was not
very enthusiastic about playing the
game out, but the local management
insisted that no matter how slinnery
tle going might be the battle must go
on.
Carl Mays was the outstanding play-
er OF the conflict. In the first place he
held the Indians to two hits. and in
the second place he swung his bat with
such zeal that he accounted for four
81 the Yankees runs. The two safe
blows off Mays came in the fifth in
Ming, and one of them happened to be
a home run propelled into the right
iieid stand by the irrepressible Doc
Johnston who did so much damage
with his mace on Friday.
Ball Sails Over Stand
Speaking bf home runs, it should be
stated that Babe Ruth chose this par
ticular Sabbath to collect his thirty
eighth of the season and the one hun
dred and forty-frst of his major
league career. The ball Babe hit
sailed far over the top of the right
aeld stand.
Allan Sothoron, whom iris Speaker
rescued from the Browns a few weeks
ago, started the game in the box fe1
ti.e visitors. This Sothoron used to be
another of those Yankee iinxes. and
for FIVE innings he got along fairly
well. But in the sixth the Huggins CO.
horts went on a terrific batting spree
and poor Allan had to be removed
from tho mound. Ray Caldwell, once
Yankee, essayed to put a check rein
on the local sluggers, but he Jared
little better than his predecessor The
Yanks showed no sympathy at all for
their old pal
The first run of the game was cred
tied to the Hugrnen in the first inning
as the result of base on balls to
Fewster, q sacrifice hit by Peckinpaugh,
pass TO Ruth and a single by Baker.
The Indians tied the count in the sec
xond without the aid of safe hit Smith
and Gardner walked but Sewell forced
Gardner at second, Baker to Ward,
Smith taking third. Doc Johnston
grounded to Pipp, who threw to the
plate, but failed to prevent Smith scor-
ing.
In the fourth Pipp WAS hit by
pitched ball and raced to third on
Wards safety to right. This was the
time when the second shower of the aft
ernoon appeared. When play was re-
sumed Pipp scored on Schang's out,
second to first. The Indians got this
run back in the fifth when Doc John
ston hit his second homer in two days.
The large, juicy, decisive sixth in
ming was ushered into being by a single
from the bat Of Wal1y Pipp Ward
walked and Schang beat bunt, filing
the bases. Here Mr.. Mays distinguished
himself as batsman. With the count
three and one Carl smashed the ball
over Sewell's head for double which
cleaned the bags thoroughly.
Caldwell Enters Box
Caldwell then entered the box for
the VISITORS and famed Fewster. Peck
inpaugh walked and next came the
Babe, who literally drove the ball out
of the lot for three more runs. Meusel
hit into a double play. but enough was
more than sufficient.
The Yankees again pounced upon
Caldwell in the eighth, base on balls
TO Fewster, singles by Peckinpaugh and
Pipp and an error by Smith produc-
ing three more runs. Tas Indians
failed to get hit off Mays from the
fifth until the end of the game, being
retired in one, two, three order in each
of these innings, except the eighth,
when Wamby drew pass.
The "crippled" iris Speaker con-
tributed the fielding gem of the after
noon with his diving catch of Wally
Pipp's liner in the second inning. This
amazing play Drought down the house"
Babe Ruth had q fairly profitable
day at the bat. Besides his homer he
made triple and single and drew
pass. Baker, Pipp, Ward and Schang
each banged out two singles, and Mays
secured a double and single. Fewster
and Meusei were the only Yanks to
60 hitless.
