Ruth and Babe met the leather full
and flush. Speeding on the wood the

power Of former Chicago clubs and fell
upon Jones with fury. Almost before

Higgins called Waite Hoyt out Of the
bull pen and Sam was on his way 20
the showers. One Of the little TRACE
dies Of the diamond was enacted before
the eyes Of 10000 fans.
Harry Courtney, the slim left-hander,
who formerly toled at the daily task OF
pitehing 20 batters az Washington.

II looked pretty good for the Yankees
as they swung into the seventh but
there are plenty Of slips and slides
in the game. Harry Hooper, the FIRST
man up in the seventh. rolled 10 Pipp
for an easy out. Mostil then landed
one right back al Jones and clipped
him on the pitching hand, the ball
going for a base hit. Falk doubled 70
center and Mostil went TO third,

Shelly scored. Johnson walked and
Mulligan singled, scoring Courtney.
Collins whacked single, scoring
Johnson, and Hoyt was out Of the
