NEW YORK, Sept. 26.--Babe Ruth
did it. The great Bam beat the In
dians in the nanl paroxysm of the
petit worlds series at the Polo
Grounds today. The Yankees little
spreading shoulders. screaming and
sQuealing. and rode his back in from
the plate to the bench. steering by
the ears, as Ruth. with those funny
mincing steps. checked in with his
second home run OF the game in the
NTH inning. Babe won tho ball game.
He personally rang up three farea
and drove in two other runs. send
ing the Indians away from New York
just about out oe the American
League race, due to their final de-
feat, S to Z.
Ruth made homer In the frs,
with two out and nobody on. The
one in the nth came with Peckin-
pauGh standing on first and nobody
cut. Both hits cleared the right
field stadium and ought to be going
still The Bam also got 4 walk.
The Indians came mere to win
pennant. They dropped three out OF
four games. which wins no pennants
in any league.
Ruth had been working up TO some
thing sensational. In the first three
games OF the little worlds series. he
was pretty unruly toward the In
dtans' pitchers. And now the grand
average for tho series shows that in
tour games he hit .727 with eight hits
'otaiing eighteen bases. In eleven
times at bat. walked five times
scored seven runs and just about
W'pcd out recent slump on ten
points in his batting average for m,
season. Only two OF his hits were
singles. There were also the two
homers. and four doubles.
