New-York tribune., 1922-07-20

who won only one game--the first
There was little color to the battle
and nothing of the sensational order.
In fact, it was just an ordinary ball
game The Yankees got just as many
hits as the Tigers and they played
as well mechanically, but the visitors
went about their work in more
business-like manner.
The most business-like person on the
diamond was young Herman Pillette,
who wound himself up like a pretzel
and then tossed the ball over the plate
for the Tigers and for glory. And
young Herman made quite good job
os tossing the-, Up. He kept ten hits
very well scattered and with men on
the bases he simply twisted himself
into new knots and completely baffled
the New York batsnaen.
Pillette was particularly successful
with Babe Ruth at bat. Three times
the Babe waved his stick with runners
on the bags, but he did little more
than wave. He struck out twice and
died on easy grounders twice. In his
other chance the Babe choked a single
TO right, but the blow did no damage
whatsoever as no one was on base at
the time.
Sam Jones was tossed in against
Pillettc and Sam took his bumps grace
fully for five innings, during which
period the Tigers scored all five runs.
Jones might have kicked against the
support accorded him in the first in
ming, but there was no excuse for the
four runs which were scored later
Jones faded out of the picture at the
end of the fifth inning and George
Murray made fair JOB Of finishing
the game.
Witt Busy With Stick.
Whitley Witt was about the busiest
Yankee on the field and he never let
up in his efforts to help Jones and
Murray. Whitley had a busy day in
the field cutting down prospective
base hits and he kept up his fast hit
ting pace, getting three hits. All ex-
cept the first bingle were wasted,
however, as the other Yankees could
not get the range at telling moments
Narrs Heilmann succeeded where the
Yankee sluggers failed and u long
triple off his bat sewed up the game
Cor the Tigers in the fifth inning.
Jones yielded the first run in the
first inning but he was not altogether
responsible as Pipp Clipped in with an
r1sfortunate error. Bobby Jones dou-
f.ed with one out and advanced when
tobb grounded to Pipp. Veach also
bounced one to Pipp, but Wally got
mixed up on this one and when he fl
na!ly got the ball, Jones had scored
and Veach was safe. McNally then let
Meilmann's bounder go through him
FOR the second error OF the inning, but
Clark hit into force play. McNally
subsequently gave way to pinch hitter
HSker and Norman Mcmillan finished
tie game at third
Led by Whitley Witt the Yankees tied
it up in their half of the first, bat
there the scoring stopped. Witt beat
put hit in front of the plate and
went to third on Pipp's single Wally,
however, strayed too far from first
and was tossed out on the relay. Babe
had his first chance for glory, but
struck out on three pitched balls.
Meusel scored Witt with single to
center, Schang was hit by a pitched
ball, and Ward forced Schang for the
final out.
The Tigers scored another on Clark
single, sacrifice. an infeld out ant
Pillette's single. They then sewed it u,
in the next inning by scoring three
more runs. Jones and Cobb singled
but Veach forced Jones in attemptin,
to sacrifice. Heilmann shot the bal
far into right field against the bleache
fence for three bases, scoring Cobl
and Veach. Heilmann counted OF
Rigney's sacrifice fly to center.
