PRUETT FANS BABE RUTH
Former Tiger Wins Praise Despit,
Loss of Game.

Losing pitcher. Prueit.'
Despite this sad line in the summar,
of the St. Louis-New York game of Mon
day. the former Tiger hurler has reason
to be proud.
Among other things accomplished yes
terday by the lad who so often last yeaI
dug his spikes into the gray dirt on
Rollins Field, was the whiting of Babe
Ruth in the tenth inning when the score
was tied and fence buster meant LOST
game.
Concerning Pructt's work the St. Louis
Clobe-Democrat says:
''Pruett checked the ninth inning rally
and then proceeded to strike out the
Big Ham, as the fans were calling
Ruth prior to his home run. This feat
of the Missouri University boy came in
the enth. Babe was the first batter
of the stanza, and swung and missed a
curved strike. The call at the time
was two strikes and one ball. Babe
having fouled one pitch after looking
over a curve strike.
"'Shucks' not only had the Bambino
looking foolish with his deceptive twist
er, but the majority of the other Yanks,
until the fatal thirteenth. Despite his
defeat, he won a home here through
his sterling performance. Had the
Brownie batters done as well at the
plate in the pinch in the eleventh or
thirteenth, Hubc would not have been
credited with the defeat, his first of the
