Did you ever irnprison a most unwel-
come and thoroughly Objectionable cat
In a sack with bowlder, toss them over
board-and then come home to find that
same old feline purring vigorously over
the milk? Well. that's the sensation the
Yankees experienced yesterday at the
Polo Grounds when they found them
selves confronted with the necessity OF
throwing Urban Shocker into the Harlem
Tor the second time in the series with
the Browns.
This time Shocker was not quite the
tame animal he had been only three
days before when the New Yorks ham
mered their old hoodoo out of the box
and enjoyed the extreme and unusual
satisfaction Of growing over him for the
first time in ever so long. Yesterday
Shocker went neck and neck with Carl
Mays for six innings II looked as II
the spitballer might sneak over a VIC
tory. But in the seventh Babe Ruth
doubled. Ping Bodie tripled-and Meme
sis Shocker was walloped again. The
score was to 4.
Coming in the wake OF a trio OF some
what frothless frolics at the expense OF
the jackrabbit ball. this close and tense
struggle was more than welcome. Ana
il did not take even two hours to shove
1t into the standing of the clubs.
Ruth hit not only a double but
triple as well. But nary a home run
did he lash out for the edhcation OF the
beseeching 10000 This delectable fea-
ture of the daily programme fell to little
Johnny Tobin of the Browns. who
planted the ball in the right field stand
in the first inning. II was the second
mitch of the game that was thus mall
treated Tobin also got two singles.

went the heroic role, not in hitting but
in fielding It Is not very often that the
Babe wins for himself the major honors
on the defence. but that's what he d'd IN
the sixth inning when with two gone ana
Ellerbe on third Ruth made one of the
most sensational catches OF the local
season and saved the game.
Shocker drove the ball on line to-
ward left centre. The effort looked good
for at least two bases and the Browns
were In jubilation. But Ruth cut their
celebration short and sent the thousands
into a spasm OF wild cheering by dashing
over into left and ypearlng the fast trav-
elling leather with lightning thrust OF
his gloved hand. Perhaps the Babe did
not eat up those salvos as he meandered
toward the ougout! Perhapsl

anybody except Ping Bodie. In the third
he had played Severeid's hit rather badly
and had presented run to the Browns
This lapse was followed by Ruth's chang

opportunity to make himself solid again

portunity to drive In the run which would
break n 4 to 4 tie and hear those cheers
which Ping dislikes even as does the
Babe.
