pounded out six hits for total Of FIVE
runs.
The whistle Of long hits in that ses-
sion was almost continuous perform

third-sacker, and probably the sole
survivor of the French and Indian
wars. averred that he had seen or
heard nothing like it since the night
of the big wind in Naugatuck, Conn.
Herman was at both these important
events, and he ought to know.
Shocker in Fine Form
Shocker had been groomed for this
lead-of game and Mays had been
prirned for the same engagement. Evi-
IDENTIFY different methods were used, as
the spitballer held the Yanks to six
hits and no runs at all, while the un-
derslung siabster was pounded joyous
ly for seven hits and six runs in his
uncompleted stand in the middle Of the
diamond. Lefty O'Doul was offered as
the second victim to the siugging
Browns, and ne was further damaged
for two tallies and four safeties.
The contest was marked by spright
ly and errorless fielding, viewed from
any angle Ken Williams was the
bright particular star on the defense
for the Browns, with six graceful
grabs in left field, and fine throw 70

Babe Ruth himself when that portlj
gentleman tried to spoil the shut-out
efforts Of Shocker. Furthermore, this
same long, dark, brown-skinned slug

game in the fourth inning when he
poled out his twenty homer Of
the summer season. Baby Doll" Jacob
son was another hefty wielder of the
willow during the torrid afternoon. He
helped himself to three slashing sin
giles in four times at bat. The Yanks

The first break in the row Of zeros
on the score board came in the St.
Louis portion of the fourth. May. was
not only incautious enough to give
George Sisler a ticket to first. but

by growing foater for the delectation
of Ken Williams. The said Williams

clout. sending Sisler around ahead Of
him. Chalk up twenty-five home runs
