New-York tribune., 1922-03-17

proval Of the mighty swat
II was long time coming, this home
run out Of Heinemann Park for the
Babe. Il took two seasons and seven
games before the Sultan of Swat could
show cause TO the New Orleans fans
why he was dubbed the home-run king.
Now they know. and those who saw the
smash departed their devious ways in
= eontented mood. Incidentally the
Ruppert-Huston forces continued their
habit Of beating the Pelicsns, this time
throwing the locals for 9 to 3 loss.
Big Jim Joley the Terrible Texan,
started on the mound for the American
League champions, and during the five
innings he labored he successfully de-
fcnded the hont plate against the at
tacks of the Pelicans. The big left
hander yielded six hits in five innings,
but ne kept these we'll scattered, and
vas never in serious trouble. Jolley
was succeeded by George Quinn in the
sixth inning.
The Blue Ridge mountaineer sailed
peacefully through his first stanza. but
IN the lucky seventh the Pelicans
wagged their beaks about in a fero-
cious manner and tore the said Quinn
apart with four hits, two bases on balls
and three runs. Thereafter he was not
scored upon, though he was combed for
several more safe blows in the eighth
and ninth innings.
Three Hits for Baker
J. Franklin Baker was the slugging
star for the New York representatives
The Trapre Mauler had his batting
lamps trimmed to perfection. and
crashed three stinging hits down the
right-feld alley out of four times at
recognition by duplicating Ruth's trick
of knocking the ball out of the park.
The peppery catcher pounded his cir
cult clout in the sixth inning from the
ofe ings Of James. 1t cleared the left
field wall just few feet inside the
foul line. A left-hander answering to
the name Of Thomas was the involun-
tsry aid of the Sultan Of Swat in his
sprightly performance.
The New York clan gathered in q to-
tai Of fifteen hits during the melee,
but the Pelicans were right on their
heels in this regard, with total Of
fourteen, Of which eight were gath
cred while Quinn was on the mound
The Higgins outfit was also awarded
two errors. wild throw by Baker in
fielding bunt, and another ill-judged
heave by Quinn in trying to catch a
runner off first base.
For the first four innings the score
vas deadlocked, with q row of zeros
FOR each team. but the fifth stanza
aettled the matter at issue once and
for all. Beginning with Ward the
Yankee s)uggers rose in their might
and smote the Pelican left handler hip
and thigh. They batted all the way
around the list and threw in q few ex-
ira turns for luck. When the dust had
settled tNere were seven runs over the
pan. including four that were produced
by the busting "Bahe" and his cir
euit e'out. The Pelicans were wing
ing wildly about in this session. In
fact. they were all at sea.
Hofman's homer added another mark
er in the sixth inning, and Wally Pipp
accounted for TIE last Yankee run
when he tripled in the seventh and
rode home on an infeld out by Ward.
just to give the fans surprise Wally
swapped positions with the "Babe" In
the middle of the game, the Caliph of
Crash going from center-field to the
first sack, while Pipp took the reverse
journey. After the Rupert Huston
clan had put the game on ice substi-
tues rushed in from all sides. Killineer
replaced Ward at second and started
neat double play in the eighth inning
John Mitchell relieved Deacon Scott at
short and Al Devormer went behind
the bat to catch Quinn's fast ones.
