New-York tribune., 1922-08-23

The chronicle of woe is mostly a.
compendium of events which did not
happen. Bullet Joe did not continue
his winning streak Of nine straight
II was broken off short at this point
and tossed into the ash can. G. Her
man Ruth did not add to his crop Of
home runs. The busting Bambino
didn't even get a safe blow through
the dreary afternoon. The Singing
Hugmen failed to slug. George unie
held them to a pair of bingles all att
ernoon. and these in the first inning.
The Indians Highlander went through
the last eight frames without yielding
ANYTHING that looked like q hit to the
alleged aMurderer's Row."
The score of 6 to doesn't give
the faintest indication of the distance

an outfit isn't hitting, IL looks like

teen safe blows for their half-dozen
tailies. Ten Of the hits and five OF
the runs were garnered from the hurl-
ing Of Bullet Joe in person, while the
three other hits and the odd run were
combed from the offerings OF "Smiler"
Murray. who pitched the last four
innings against the Redskins. Muir
ray was bit wild, but otherwise Jared
fairly we'll.
After the first inning, when the
count was tied at one run each, the
Indians went on and won as they
pleased Five rousing hits in the
fifth inning convinced Miller Higgins
that his pitching ace had been taken
by the joker. The midget. manager,
watching the vain swipes his athletes
were making at the slants of Uhie, de-
eided that the game was ruined beyond
repair, and pulled Bush out in the
hopes of grooming Joe and his grunt

Home Run Production Cut
Even though Babe Ruth didn't get
home run, that didn't completely
blight the crop Of four-base blows,
though it cut the production down to
a single blossom, drive into the up
per right field stand in the first inning
BY Sir Tristram Speaker himself. 1t
was q large, expansive blow and fully
entitled the producer thereof to free
and unmolested journey around the
circuit.
This home run clout gave the In
dams tally in the starting stanza,
but the Yanks eyenea the count in
Dugan, wild pitch by Uhle, and
safe blow by Wally Pipp, which
bounded over second base while Dugan
scored. One-base blows by JAMESON
and Larruping Larry Gardner, coupled
with double steal on which Jameson
counted, added another marker for the
Tribe in the third, and vicious as
sault on Bullet Joe yielded trio of
tallies in the fifth. Five hits, includ-
ing double by Gardner, accounted
for the three runs, and caused Hug
gins to pension Bush off between the
rounds.
"Smiler" Murray was called in from
the bull pen, and the Indians scored
tally in the sixth on singles by
UhIe and Gardner. The Tribe might
have Jared better in this session, ex-
cept for the overzealous act of Leslie
Nunamaker in grabbing runner and
throwing him back to the bag, while
he was coaching at third For this the

Wildness got the "Smiler" in trouble
IN the other innings, but he emerged
with no further damage to his scoring
record. The Yankee run in the ninth
was pure gift after a walk to Witt.

unmolested and score ON Ruth's infield

Sergeant Jim Bagby arrived in town
just in time to have an operating sur
geon dive into his internal regions and
come up with an appendix which was
Deiieved to have been very vermiform
with a couple of illegal twists. The
Sarge won't be able to rester enemy
batters for the remainder of this sea-
son.
