.,,t g homer, triple and a small but
vat single in four trips to the plate
yesterday, and. as the late lamented
p;.v Bcdie would have it, he was
aaaisonally" responsible for a quartet
.svankee TALES. The other Yank run
w,s duly credited to the batting ability
- Messrs. Meusel, Ruth and Schang.
!. should further be chronicled that
.ss eminent underslung slabster, Carl
snhmarine Mays, at last succeeded in
rntting over a victory before 1000
kome folks, after weeks of more or
Lees diligent effort. Burly Carl has
nod run of bad luck on the Fabian
lawn Of late, and he is in perfect har-
many with Miller Higgins in hoping
hat the fatal spell has been broken.
sorrel-topped Rube Oldham started
=, the mound at the behest of Tyrus
RAYMOND Cobb, the fiery Georgian, who
has unique scheme for making his.
xijdeats wilder while in New York. AS
soon as Ty hits the big town he runs
sround to the Interborough Rapid
Tyausit Offices and borrows supply of
hat famous "last years beefsteak" as
fodder for his jungle troupe during
their stay here. That arouses the Ii
ears TO such fury that when they get
"a the ball park they are ready. to
robble up several Babe Ruths, buttered
Il parsnips and seasoned with a little
Miller Higgins.
Somebody must have slipped the De-
troiters some real food before yester-
DAVIS game, as they rolled over and
plsyed dead after the first inning. It's
known habit Of the Tiger tribe to
soueh gently to corner and take
Rip Van Wrinkle snooze whenever a
side of beef or haunch of antelope is
wrapped comfortably below the belt
line. Lou Blue waved a threatening
nav at Carl Mays in the first inning
and scratched the hide of the under
sung hurler for a single to right. He
and basely betrayed the confidence of
Wally Schang by making a clean steal
Of third. From this point of vantage
he scored the first tally of the game
while Ward was tossing Bob Veach out
at first.
Kept Them in Subsection
Then the Tigers went to sleep. They
svidently had bad dreams, for they
tossed about restlessly, and ever and
anon emitted a low grumbling whine,
Int the Yankee animal trainers kept
asm in subsection by prodding them
With sharp double plays whenever they
age signs of breaking loose. Baseball
las one popularity, however, in that no
team can win by merely holding the
ether fellows down. Miller Higgins
knows this as we'll as the next man in
the street, and the Mite Manager felt
so keenly about the matter that he got
out on the coaching lines in the fifth
inning and gave it his personal atten
ton.
This was the. signal for the Yanks to
assault the port slants of Oldham and
cause that gentleman much mental
srguish and considerable modification,
Bob Meusel, Babe Ruth, Wally Schang
End Aaron Ward peeled off sharp
singles in rapid succession. Long Bob
gofed on Schang's rap and the Bam
bno trotted over the plate or Wardie's
blow That was enough to win the
pastine right there, but the second
sacker came UP in the eighth inning
and found Meusel on base by virtue of
atwo-bagger and Ruth at the first sta
tongon a free ticket.
Howard Ehmke was in the box at this
inopportune moment, as Oldham had
been retired in the seventh in favor of
plnch-hitter. Ward studied the stu
alton minute and then came to the
conclusion that home run would be
just the thing to top off a good day at
bat and afeld. Ehmke flung. Wardie
swung, and the ball left for parts un-
known. When last seen it was being
stuffed in the pocket of jubilant fan

Miller Higgins made another switch

cropped peg and now bats in Bob's
FORMER notch. The Babe agreed that
taxing him down a peg was good
