afternoon following The reverse Ct yes
terday and administered severe
trouncing to Ty Cotn's Tigers. The
score was 10 to z, ara it VAS only the
single handed efforts Of Tyrus Raymond
himself that prevented a shut-out for
his nine.
Ty reached first base on force out
play in the first inning, and, after steal
ing second, rode home on q double to
left by Bob Veach. In the sixth Cobb
hit one of the most savage homers Of
his career. The ball went over Ward
head like a rifle shot and plowed right
through Elmer Miller in center, never
stopping in its course until it banged
against the center field fence.
the opposing pitchers, and Carl, with
four-day rest, turned in one of his
most effective games In the first FIVE
innings the Tigers secured only three
hits, and it was not until the Yanks had
accumulated a lead of five runs that the
undetermined finger got into any real
difficulty. He soon pulled himself to-
gether, however, with total of eight
hits tailed against him.
Ehmke Hammered Hard
In direct contrast to the box work
of Mays was the showing Of the lanky
Ehmke. In the first place he was wild,
and when he did happen to get the ball
over the plate it was hammered with
much vim. The Yanks made fifteen
hits, included among which were a
home run by Elmer Miller, two doubles
by Ward, double by Pipp, and two

Babe Ruth had miserable day with
the stick, failing to get single safety
thereby breaking his continuous hit
ting string which had run through
twenty-six games. The nearest Babe
came to a homer was in the seventh,
when he knocked a high fly to right.

of the bleachers.
The Yankees overcame the one run
advantage gained by Cobb and Veach in
the first inning by scoring two count
ers in the second frame. McNally beat
out a hit to Young and went to second
on Schang's high bounder over the
pitchers box. Mays popped to Young
McNally and Schang worked double
steal. Miller hit Texas Lacquer to
right which scored McNally, and Peck
inpaugh drove out sacrifice ny to
Veach on which Schang Tailed. Ruth
tried to keep up the good work, but ex-
pired on a skyscraper which fell into
the hands of Cobb.
Clinch Game In Fifth
In the fourth the Hugmen registered
again on a walk to Schang, single
to center by Mays and double play
which retired Mays and Miller. But
in the fifth the New Workers sailed
the game away by collecting trio OF
markers. Ruth walked, Meusei
doubled and Pipp dropped another
double in left, all Of which accounted
for two runs. Ping later scored on
Schang's single to y inter-.
One more run came to the fanks IN
the sixth, when Miller smashed the ball
far over the left-feld fence. The sew
enth saw another scoring bee. in which
a double by Ward, a felder's choice,
two infeld outs and single by Peck
inpaugh produced three runs.
Manager Tyrus inserted two pinch
hitters into the fray in the ninth. but
it was impossible to start anything.
Bob Shawkcy was not in uniform to-
day. The ankle he twisted yesterday
is badly swollen and he expects to
have an X-ray taken tomorrow.
