an inning.
Bob and Cob held the Brownies to
four hits through the long extra-inning
battle and had the pleasure OF handing
the Yanks a contest that put them a
full game and q half ahead OF tae
pennant eontenders, besides giving
shen, the series by three victories to
tne defeat. Not content with his con-
quest of the Hugmen in the first game
Of the series. Shocker came back tor
more. and got 1t, only not out OF the
same bottle This time the wet naii
finger went down to defeat, though
by she narrowest of legal margins and
in an overtime struggle. He held tne
Yankees to eight scattered hits, but
firted with danger once too often ane
was tun,bled from his high estate
The fracas started under lowering
skies and with heavy track, put the
enthusiasm rose to such TREMENDOUS
heights as the battle waged furiousiy
that Old Sol peeped through the clouds
ia see what il was all about and re-
mained, welcome addition, to stare
at the startling antics Of the battling
forces until the final blow was struck.
The game is officially docketed as err
rorIess. but "that ain't the half OF it,.
The fielders on both sides were doing
tricks with the ball that would have
made Houdini tear up his famous
straitjacket and live poor but open
life from that out.
Other Players Shine
IL Bob Shawkey and Urban Shocker
had any rosettes of the Order of Meri-
torious Service at their bestowal. Wally
Pipp, Aaron Ward, Babe Ruth, Walter
Gerber and George Sisler would have
departed from the scene of action
covered with decorations like the
Queen of May or the prize draft
horse at the county fair. Pipp starred
afeld and at bat. 1t was his single
that sent Dugan from first to third IN
tie final inning, and mighty blow of
his in the ninth inning might have
ended the pastime but for the rank
error of fan in the right field stand.
Yes, stree, rank error by the occu-
rant of front row seat in the lower
stand sent the ball game into extra
innings. With two down in the ninth
ripp caught ono of Shocker's shocking
slants on the end of his bat and the
ball went winging away toward the
stand while the populace, thinking the
game was over, burst the barriers and
started out on the field. Leaning on
Tie concrete barrier, John w. Anony
nous got both hands on the ball and
then dropped it, either to get better
hold on it or for other purposes best
known to himself. In any case, the
sphere fell back into the arena and
Pipp was held at second base by
I'obin's return throw, where he Ian
suished while Schang was intention
ally passed and Meusel flied out.
The story Of the scoring is soon
told, there was so little of it. A single
by Schang and triple by Aaron Ward
over the head of Ken Williams gave
the Yanks a one-run lead in the sec
ond inning. Shocker wanted to know
what Williams was doing in so close
that Ward hit the ball over his head,
ard Ken was curious as to why Urban
allowed little lad like Wardie to hit
the ball so hard. That riade it an
even break in the argument.
The Brownies tied the score in the
fifth, when Hank SEVERED up and
smote looping homer just inside the
foul marker in the left field bleachers.
The winning run was put over on a
single by Dugan, another by Pipp after
Ruth had popped to McManus, an in
territorial pass TO Schang, filing the
bases, and the aforesaid long sacrifice
fly by Bob Meusel, scoring Dugan
frnyn third
