In the first inning the Hackensack
southpaw opened with d burst Of wild
ness, passing George Burns on five
pitched balls, one OF which was a called
strike. He found the plate for Ban
croft, and after putting over a strike
caused the shortstop to lift sky
scraping hoist to Wilson Fewster, who
was playing left field in Babe Ruth's
place He then famed the dangerous
Frank Frsch on three pitched balls and
made Ross Young fly to Fewster.
This exhibition, which was followed
by Yankee attack which netted three
runs, provided Yankee rooters with a
lot of satisfaction. The American
Loaguers rang up three hits which, as
sisted by a pass to Fewster. got them
three runs and bumped Fred Toney of
the mound.
That Homer Hurt
The Giants, however, staged an as
sault of their own in the second which
decimated the Yanks' lead and relieved
American League fans of lot of
their newly acquired confidence. Har-
per started his ascent by walking Long
George Kelly on four pitched balls
and Emil Meusel came along moment
later and maced Harry for a hame run
which dropped a few feet inside the
right field foul line.
After Rawlings had flied out Snyder
came along with another home run and
Barnes with single. This ended Har-
per's work and Shawkey replaced him.
Bob's pitching was good in spots, but
the Giants fell on him in the fourth
inning for a total of four hits that
were good for that many runs. an
error by Mike McNally lending impetus
TO the -go-round.
The Yankees We're paralyzed before
the magnificent twirling of Jess Barnes
and after the second inning could do
nothing with the sharp breaking curves
of the right handler. With one out in
the second inning Shawkey pasted a
pretty single to left field. Fewster then
proved himself an excellent understudy
for Ruth by stepping into one Of
Rarnes's fast ones and lacing it into
the left field bleachcrs for circuit
drive.
After that the Yankee attack sim
mered down to nothing, Barnes becom-
ing more and more effective as the
game progressed.
There is practically no hope that
Ruth will be seen again in the Yankee
lineup during the series. He was at
the Polo Grounds yeste rday in "civies,'
and drew a remarkable ovation from
the crowd, despite the fact that he
vas not going TO play. His injured left
arm. which was lanced on Saturday
night. was in sling yesterday and it
was obvious that the cut was paining
the great slugger considerably.
Babe Can't Throw
"I don't know whether I'll be able
10 get back into the game or not said
the Babe. The doctor says I've got
70 rest this bad wing and it is in such
shape right now that it would be al
most impossible for me to throw. The
yanks Will give 'em a fight without me
and you'll see Fewstcr in there getting
mis- hits"
The Babe posed for the photogra
pliers with George Kelly, leading home
run swatter of the National League and
then went to the home clubs cugout
occupied yesterday by the Yankees, and
witnessed the game from there. DR.

'They beat US to-day and evened ul

manager, but that fact merely is go

that. Tomorrow is another day, how
