New-York tribune., 1922-08-17

victory over the Hapless Hugmen.
All this was committed against the
forces Of the Twin Coloneis in spite
Of the fact that George II. Ruth esq.
returned TO the game and heited ost
his twenty-second homer of the season
in the fifth round. Wally Pipp hit for
the circuit also, but in each instance
not solitary stroller was stalking
along the base paths when the Yankee
sluggers bounced the ball off the upper
right field stand. But when Bob Jones
smote the pellet in the last fatal frame
there were two Detroiters lolling on
first and second at that time and bath
immensely enjoyed the free trip to
the plate. The ball got past Babe Ruth
and rolled to the right field exit while
Jones busted merrily around the loop.
Two men were out in the ninth, with
the score tied at 3-3, when the under
slug slabster felt the claws of the
Tigers tearing at his uniform. Rigney
was on base by virtue of single.
Sylvester johnson, the Detroit hurler
who had replaced "Slim" Pillette,
slapped a scratch hit past Ward and
Lou Blue scored Rigney with what
proved to be the winning run on a
clean single to left. That brought up
Bob Jones, IS aforesaid Carl Mays
tossed close one that whistled by the
underpinning of the Detroit third
sacker. who went wild with rage and
threatened to dissever Carl, limb from
limb, right then and there. Being
dissuaded from this gentle pastime by
the players Of both teams, he took out
his spite on the pitcher by slamming
out his home run.
Hugmer Lose Ground.
The Hapless Hugmen lost ground on
the day, as st. Louis broke even in
Washington and now enjoys lead of
one clear game. Furthermore, the best
the Yanks can do is break even on the
season with the Tigers by winning all
the remaining games between these
teams, IS yesterdays victory was the
eleventh winning effort for the Tigers
TO seven for the Hugmen.
The Jungle Cats pounded Mays for
twelve hits in all, while the Yanks gar
nered four hits and two runs off Pill
lette in four innings, and five hits and
one run off Johnson. The only blow
Johnson yielded that was worth three
Bambino in the fifth. The others were
wasted, including fthe three scratch
singles by Scott, Elmer Smith and
Witt which filled the bases in the
ninth just before Dugan ended the
game with force-out.
In spite of the vast volume of evil
dence tending to prove that pitcher
never profits by walking the first man
Up in any given inning, the tribe of
hurlers still continues this nefarious
practice. Pillette walked Whitley Witt
in the startling stanza, and the "Al-
hino Kid" Tailed on two-bagger which
6. Herman Ruth bounced off the cen
ter field fence. Wally Pipp's homer,
off the front deck of the upper stand
IN the fourth, gave the Yanks another
tally and Gwo-run lead.
Large splashy drops of rain were
falling in the fifth, when the Tigers
clawed up Carl Mays considerably
Rigney started the uprising with q
double to left. Bassler walked, and
Dan Clark, batting for Pillette, hit
the first ball along the left field foul
line for two bases, scoring Rigney
Blue scored both Bassler and Clark on
his safe blow to center. This put the
Tigers run in the lead, but the BAN.
limo evened the score again with his
Aome run blow in the Yankee fifth
Then came the final uproar in the
ninth, when the Tigers broke loose
again, scored four runs, and dragged
he helpless game back to their lair
70 be devoured through the silent
watches of the night
