bN8rI anC a nervous Ilnlsn. In lHc llTSl
inning he walked the only run that the
Senators made right across the platter
and 1t seemed that Samuel Jones was
not to last through the game. But he
took enough time meditating to steady
himself. In fact he made the first in
ming last about half an hour. which Is
pretty close to the big league record for
, elaboration.
witt Helps Sam Into Hole.
In the ninth inning Whitley Witt, the
usually agile Albino. helped Samuel into
a hole by dropping a fly by Shanks, who
got t.eo bases on the muff. Then with
only one out Samuel Pond Jones walked
two men, filling the bases with Senators
and lot of customers with consterna-
ton.
1t was at this point that Colonel TIL
Iinghast LHommedieu Huston was
seized with the most violent attack of
palpitation of the knee that he has ever
incurred during a ball game. The
Colonels affliction was so violent that
he shook three chairs from under him
until Sam Jones pitched himself out OF
the hole into which he had fallen
Ever since he had become financially
interested in the Yankees the sooo
Colonel has been subject to intermit-
tent fits of palpitation of the knee. 1t
comes upon him when he senses that
the Yanks are about to let perfectly
good ball game bust right in his race.
Bust may not be the purest OF Engiisn.
but the Yanks do not break, they Dust
one can tell when the Yanks are IN
trouble by the miniature earthquake
that ia made by the shaking OF the
ColoneIs knee. The seismograph IN the
Polo Grounds clubhouse recorded Two
distinct shocks yesterday, one in the
first and one in the last inning.
Certainly that first inning was very
nervous affair. With one out Harris
cracked single to left and Samuel
Pond Jones tried to deal them OH the
extreme corners of the plate. The re-
suit was that he passed Judge and
Brewer. which filled the bases. The
stands were rocking in an agitated
fashion because of the Coloners palpi-
tating knee. Then Jones passed Peck
inpaugh and one run was forced across.
With Walter Johnson pitching one run
for the Senator's is worth a dozen or
40 with somebody else pitching and the
brief stay OF the Yanks In first place
seemed 10 be in no little danger. IL
looked as though the obstacle had taken
root for the rest of the afternoon.
In the second inning the tremor which
was causing the stands to oscillate sub
sided suddenly as the score was tied.
Aaron Ward smacked a hit to center
and advanced on Sam Jones's out. Witt
snapped ono down to first and the ball
was about TO be settled into Judges
eager fin when II took q bad bound
and rolled into right field. Ward sour
ried around from second and put the
tying run across. The obstacle then
looked less menacing.
In the third inning wally Pipp, the
first man up, hit the blow that really
smashed It. He drove the first one Of
fered right into the upper tier of the
right field stands. Following this de-
tonation Schang singled to center. Bob
Neusel might have had himself a home
run but for the Intervention of
souvenir hunter. Robert, full brother to
Irish Meusel. sent one soaring toward
the right field bleachers when a paw
was stretched out and the ball was
slapped back into the field. Tho hit
was ruled TO be a mere two Dagger.
Giants Are on the Jury.
the twenty home run OF Babe
Ruth came in the fourth inning. II
happened when nearly all OF the Giants
who took advantage OF their day or to
undergo the unique experience OF seeing
81 baseball game. were assembled as a
jury of critics. The ball went on a
fairly fiat trajectory into the right field
bleachers. where only Davey Robertson.
Long George Kelly. Jake Daubert and
Ruth himself have sent them.
Acting as spokesman for the Giants,
= that trained observer Casey stengel said
for publication: Yes. the Babe can sock.
Tie certainly can sock. You can say on
behalf of myself and the visiting Giants
that Mr.. Babe Ruth can sock"
In the ninth inning the stands again
began TO rock. and those who are un-
familiar with the action OF the loose
knee OF Col. Tillinghast L'Hommedieu
Huston began TO feel some alarm. One
visitor from California. namely. Irish
Meusel. asked Casey Stengel: Say. do
you have those here earthquakes In New
York too?'' The tremor started when
Witt dropped the hy by Shanks. and
increased In vehemence when Charity
got his base on balls. When Walter
johnson also was passed and the bases
were filled the seismograph threatened TO
come apart But the earthquake grad
ually subsided as Rice struck out and
Harris lifted ny into the eager mitts OF
lsnky Bob Meusel.
With the exception OF these two
nervous places the Yanks certainly
looked like candidates for a worlds
series. Scott did some shortstopplng
that made the visiting Giants express as
much admiration as visiting Giant
would care to express. Wally PIpp
made ono stop that was regarded as
impossible, while Babe Ruth himself
executed one handed running catch
that was grace Itself.
ward Stages a Nifty Play.
Aaron Ward staged one play that
rather demonstrates that the Yanks are
anlfing the sweet far or aroma of
worlds series dough and are being
quickened as to the think tanks there
by. In the sixth inning with one on
and one out Lamotte holsted a foul.
which Pipp had TO travel 10 get Seeing
that FIRST base was left unguarded
Brower roamed Off toward second. In
tho meantime Ward stole quietly TO
the bag and as Pipp caught the foul
ne passed the ball TO Ward for double.

for keeps. Charlie. who coaches habitu-
