league leadership. turning in to
victory over the Sox at Comiskey
Field before a crowd OF assembled
visiting bakers.
Babe Ruth hammered out his thirty
second home run of the season in the
fourth inning. The Yanks never seemed
to have much trouble with Gorham
I.everette, the Gary wonder, and won
without much opposition.
Bush was real good to-day, allow
ing but four hits. and IL he continues
to keep this pace there will be nothing
that will hold candle to him for the
remainder OF the struggle. 1t was
quickly played game, lasting exactly
one hour and forty-two minutes.
There is no question now about the
fighting spirit of the Yanks. They have
lust one more to play here before the
expedition party sails for st. Louis. IL
looks like Carl Mays will make II three
out of four here tomorrow.
Yanks Score I'm First.
The Yanks were first to put run

Eddie Collins and Whitley Witt came
across with run which looked ike the
pennant to the, Yanks.
The Yanks widened their gap over the
Browns in the fourth inning when they
got to the fast pitching Gary phenom

from Ruth's crash to the left field
bleachers and was Immediately followed
by Pipps hit through Eddie Collins.

the pitchers fingers and Wards long
sacrifice to Mostil brought Pipp home
In a common gallop.
The first hit of the game off Bullet

when Collins singled to left after one
Chicagoan had expired. But nothing
serious developed because Sheely hit In

Bush. the Yank gunner ron Falk TO an
unhappy ending between third and sec
ond. After Schalk walked, Leverette

Dugsn. Strunk famed for the second
straight time and the Yanks breathed
easier.

next world series should be played in his
home town. when they play the world
series in Logansport," said Sonny. "I'll

when Ward famed with two on the
sacks.

innings. Harry Hooper was sent in "a
pinch hit IN the Sox's eighth. The best
the California native son could offer
with his injured instep was to swing
thrice In vain. The next tive were al.
most MS easy for Bullet Joe.
Stubby Mack. one OF the latest Sox
acquisitions. came on to relieve Lever
