The getaway game OF the Yankees
yesterday was a humdinger. Those
fans fortunate enough to see the
ninth Inning rally of the home boys,
who put over an s-to-7 win with two
gone, will chatter OF nothing else for
some days to come. That wonderful
rally brought victory TO Walter John
son and the Griffs and defeat to Carl
Mays and the naughty Yanks.
The Yanks were leading. Z To g.
when the home boys came in for their
whacks in the ninth. Walter Johnson
had been soundly pounded In the
eighth. yielding ive runs largely be-
eause Wslly Pipp slammed triple
with the corners crowded, and the
game seemed at an end. Then came
the awakening.
TWO WERE GONE.
Pat Charity chased Babe Ruth
far away for his f1y, but Blackie
oRourke stuck around until Mays
issued him an Annie Oakley. Zeb
Milan dragged his charleyhorse UP to
the platter in place OF Johnson and
the Yanks scornfully allowed
O'Rourke to race up to second un-
molested. Zeb poled triple to the
right field corner. scoring ORourke
and then gracefully retired to permit
the agile LaMotte to run for him.
Ruth came in and took Judges short
nv and the game seemed ended.
The break" came on Harris
roller to Johnny Mitchell. 1t should
have been the third out. giving the
Yanks a victory and an even split
on the four games here. Instead,
Mitchells poor throw put Harris
on first base and LaMotte across.
But even then few expected what
was about to take place. Many
were on their way to the street.
Sam Rice came up and walloped
n triple down the left field line,
scoring Harris. The Griffs were one
run behind with two out. Turkey
Brower, with thousands shrieking
and yelling for hit. delivered the
goods with clean single to center.

bowling for a hit. They implored
him. They begged him. They de-
manded that hit. And Bing got IT,
pounding a double 10 center, scoring
Brewer and giving the Griffs their
victory.
THEY HIT MAYS.
The Grifs hoped upon Mays right
at the start and, counting that rally
in the ninth, kept IL up to the end.
Twelve clean slams were chslked up
against him. Blng Miller got
couple of doubles and Harris. Milan
and Rice poled triples for good
m measure.
Two were gone in the FIRST with
Rice on first base, when Brewer hit
10 center. Rice's superior speed al.
lowed him to beat Hawks poor
throw to the plate. Schang tried to
get Brewer, who was on his way to
second, but the Yankee backstop
threw out into center field and
Turkey completed the circuit.
Harris triple. followed by an in
field out. gave the Griffs their run
