ny Ne I'M ~ -
Miller Higgins, back from still hunt
for reinforcements n .hs West. took the
relns of management again at the Polo
Grounds yesterday while his Yankees
Red sox. The first game was won by
to g.: the score of the second. which
went into the tenth inning. was TO 5.
Roger Peckinpaugh. with the tally at
3 TO 8 in the tenth and Fewyter on first
base, hit safely after trying twice to
sacrifice. He hit SO safely the ball
skidded off his bat landed in the lower
grand stand for a home run, sent Few
ster, who had singled, in ahead, and
ended the game forthwith.
Three times since the adoption of the
rule that the man of the last side at
bat who hits out OF the playing field
shall get a homer, irrespective Of the
score, has the feat been performed-by
Daubert and Ruth last year; by Peck
yesterday. Peck already was the richer
by one home run for the day. His
climactic one yesterday was his second
between meals.
Ruth made his twenty eighth home
run when he thumped into the lower
etand in the first inning of the second
game. Mike Mevosky made one off the
handle of his bat in the first game at
a time when it wasn't much use to
Boston. Such is the nature of the ball
this year that a lot of this home run
hitting is a joke and making a joke of
the game. Ruth's homer was the cleanest
and sharpest of yesterdays outburst of
beltline belts.
High class pitching held sway most
OF the afternoon and was a welcome
relief. Shawkey, karr, Mays and Bush
showed some real pitching merchandise
and Shawkey and Mays each came along
fine after poor first inning.
Bush shows Rad Temper.
Joe Bush had more speed than con-
troll Of his feelings. He gave a display
of temper when he slammed his bat 10
the ground after striking out. The only
damage done on that occasion was to
the earth, which is old and tough. An
offence committed by Bush later in the
game was offensive an offence to de-
cency
Bush was thrown out at first in the
eighth inning on a close decision. 1t
looked as II he loafed, else he would
have beaten the play. Fans gave him
the razz. He turned to them as he was
passing back of the plate. put his thumb
to his nose and twirled his fingers. That
vulgarity was an affront to patrons, to
the people who make Bushs salary pos
sible: but that was not all. His lips
framed foul language as plain as II he
had megaphoned it in a still and empty
hall. The good name Of baseball? Not
with that sort Of stuff
Otherwise the second game was one
OF the most delectable OF the year. IT
was close and the playing was good
PcBnock's Poor Control.
Pennock was poor in control and
effectiveness. Hits by Fewster and
Pipp. a sacrifice fly and walks by
Peck and Ruth sent the Yanks away
with three runs and their troubles for
the day were over Peck flung q home
run into the left field coop in the sec
ond with man on first.
Ruth walked three times, but the
pitchers were pitching to him just the
same. There was no occasion for the
fat wits to roar at the Sox shooters
for not letting the Ba be hit Pipp made
a beautiful nab of a foul fly in this
game. He shared il in the thumb mesh
OF his mItt. McNally came up with a
burning hot one back OF third. Fielders
can still make fine plays, frisky ball or
no frisky ball, II they'd only think so.
Shawkey sent in one alien run by maxi
ing a balk with a man on third. He
didn't think 1t was a balk, but Owens
did.
The Red Sox slapped Mays for five
hits in the first two innings. He was
their master the rest of the time. ex-
cept Menosky's homer in the third. and
they wouldn't have scored in the second
if Peck had not thrown to the ground
