PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9.---Cornelius
McGillicuddy's Athletics were massa-
cred here this afternoon by the
Yankees, the score being ID to s. 1t
was a tragic but historic day for
Quakertown, for Babe Ruth with one
of the mightiest drives of his career,
equaled his 1920 home run record.
In the fourth inning, with Peckin-
paugh roosting on first base, the Babe
smashed the ball over the left center
field fence into Somerset Street. Never
before has so long hit been made at
Shihe Park, and the reception accorded
the Swat Sultan as he jaunted around
the bases was Of the most rousing
sort.
Home runs were plentiful during the
one-sided game. Tillie Walker twice
put the ball into the left field bleachers,
and our own Wally Pipp hit one over
the right field fence
Bob Shawkey had lovely time sub
DUNG the opposing batsmen. They
were fairly eating out of Bob's hand
until the ex-gob was safely in
trenched behind an overwhelming
lead.
Sixteen Hits for Yankees
AS for the Pathetic pitchers, they
were clouted for sixteen hits. The
victims were Ollie Naylor, Buck
Freeman jr, and Tim Keefe jr., and
their offerings all looked similar to the
batting eyes of the Gothamites.
The fruitful fourth, in which the
Yankees did most of their damage,
had an uneventful start, Wally Pipp,
the first Yankee batter, being tossed
out by McCann. Aaron Ward had
better luck, singing to deep short.
McNally put Ward on second with a
safe blow to right. Schang walked,
and the bases were fully occupied.
Shawkey was equal to the occasion
by singing through the pitchers box,
scoring Ward. McNally also Tailed
when Dykes threw the ball over j.
Walkers head. Schang counted on
Miller's out short to first. Peck hit
safely to left, Shawkey tallying. Ruth
then knocked his "fifty-fourth" for
| two more runs, or grand total of
six for inning.
Tillie Walker got one Of these runs
back in the Phillies' half Of the fourth
with his circuit smash into the left
| field bleachers. But the Yanks were
/ out on a real "tear" and chalked up
five additional tallies in the fifth
Five More for Winners
Pipp walked. Ward flied to left, but
McNally made his second hit of the
game, u single to right, and Pipp sped
to third. Schang bit to Mccain, whose
throw to the plate Perkins muffed,
Pipp scoring. Shawkey then drove the
ball far over Edgar Collins's head in
the plate. Miller's single to LEFT
scored Shawkey. A wild pitch sent
Miller to second, and he went to third
on Peck's out, McCann to J. Walker.
Ruth singled past third, Miller regis
tering the fifth run of the inning
Pipp opened the sixth, Keefe pitch
| ing, with his home run over the right
field fence. Ward famed, but Nc
Nally made his third hit and went to
third on schang's single to right:
Shawkey fouled out to J. Walker and
Schang lit out for second after the
catcb. Walker threw to Dykes, who
in turn tossed the ball home, but too
late to prevent McNally scoring.
With ten-run lead Shawkey let
down in the sixth. Keefe and Witt
singled in row and advanced a peg
each when Dykes grounded QUITO Pipp.
Tillie Walker hereupon inserted his
second homer of the pastime. In the
eighth Edgar Collins doubled and
scored on Galloway's triple to the CEN
ter field fence.
the ninth through q single by Peck, a
pass to Ruth and single by Meusel.
Tie for Homer Honors
Tillie Walker and Bob Meusel are
now tied as home runners with nine
teen each.
Miller hit the first ball pitched by
Naylor to right center for two bases
! but Peck, Ruth and Meusel were un-
able to bring him home.
Double plays squelched the Mack
men in the first and second. McNally,
Ward and Pipp figured in the first one
and Peck and Ward in the second
Emmett McCann tried his best to
help the Yanks along in the third
