RUTH FAILS TO FLASH
ny DANIEL.

| In herring barrel--that exhibition
with which the Yankees shut out the
Dodgers by to 0 before 10000 per-
sons at Ebbcts Field yesterday after
noon II flashed with sensational
| pitching by Carl Mays. who held the
Brooklyns to three scattered hits. II
sparklcd with remarkable fielding. pre-
else and powerful throwing and cffec-
| tive hitting--with Chick Fewster in
the van-and the Dodgers never were
in the hunt. There may have been
neater and more pleasing demon
stration of baseball by major league
club in these parts in season
affair, but I'VE hae our doots.'
Most OF the onlookers came to see
just what was ailing Babe Ruth and
his home run bat, and they came away
with an inkl.ng. but no definite infor-
nation. II seems that Ruth is not
strong spring hitter Let it go at that.
At any rate the Yankees did their
flashing and winning with mighty little
assistance from the clouting king. who
in five trips to the plate got scratch
single end a pass. Oace he was called
out OH strikes, second time he was
thrown out by ISilduff and then he
! lifted foul to Miller
While Mays went the route for the
New Yorks Brooklyn used couple Of
flingers-Al Mamaux and Jeff Pfeffer
Mamaux got by for four innings, In
which the Yankees from time to sine
threatened but could get in no scoring
| blows. During that period Meuscl was
the only Yankee who could hit Mamaux
SAFELY. lie got single and a double.
Score Two I'm Fifth.
Eut In the fifth the Husgins clan
finally stopped foolinG with the Dodgers
fast ball and began to bounce a few pei
let's where the Brookiyns could not get
them. Three hits. together with an
error, gave New York two runs-and
with Mays going the way he was that
meant the game. This assault finished
Mamaux. But Pfeffer was no improve
ment. Two hits, couple OF passes and
a wild pitch figured In the Yankees
| scoring two moro tallies in the ninth.
1t looked as II at least half of the
spectators came from New York-and
what they saw satisfied them to almost
an inordinate degree In the Yankees
they saw splendid. fast moving ma
chine which worked with more snap
than was evident in most OF the clubs
exhibitions last year. There was power.
and cohcsion-real team work. Few
ster. at second base, played like an
Eddie Collins at his best. and slammed
IN couple OF runs. Pipp. Ward and
Schang also worked their way into the
iimehght. TO those who had become
accustomed 10 regulation Yankee catch
ing OF other years Schang's performance
was knockout.
There were two outstanding plavs-ona
by Ward and the other by Myers. the
Brooklyn centre fielder. That of Myers
was the more sensational In the fourth
inning Pipp sent liner whistling toward
the fence In left centre. Myers started
with the crack of bat against horsehsde.
ran back and toward the left as only
iew outfielders can run, and just did
spear the ball as It was going away.
Wards Great Throw.
Ward turned in his stellar hit In the
eighth. With Kruger on first by virtue
OF a single and two down. Olson lashcd
the ball toward third. Ward fell to his
knees in fielding the bounder, but made
q perfect throw to second while he was
almost down. and got Kruger.
Ward also had the satisfaction Of
starting the fifth inning attack on
Mamaux with a single to left SchanI
| laid down what was meant TO be a
sacrifice. but Johnston made poor
throw to first and two YanlSs were on.
With nobody out. II was certainty
that Mays would bunt. so the entire
Brookin infieid was drawn In.
Kilduff allowed himself TO be pulled in
so far that when Mays bunted toward
first nary a Dodger was within ten
feet OF the base. so Carl got credit icf
hit and Pete for a boner.
With the bases full. Fewster faced a
great opportunity. and he rose TO the
occasion. Chick sent long single to
left. scoring Ward and Schang PcclSin-
paugh forced Mays. Ruth fouied TO
Miller and Pipp flied to Wheat.
The feature OF the Yankees ninth
inning outburst wes Ruth's going 10
bat with the bases full-and not clear
ing them. Mays singled to left to start
tho unnecessary rally, and Fewster
beat out a neat bunt along the third
base line. The youngster pulled that
one over like a mnster-Willie Keller
in his halcyor days.
Pfeffer favored the runners with r
wild pitch and walked Peck. filling the
bags. II was setting such az Ruth
ioves-a moment filled with tremendous
opportunities-but Ruth walked and q
run was forced in. Pipp raised sacri-
flee fly to Myers and Fowster came
in. too. The score:
