Ward had it not been for the errors Of
HIS shipmates. In any case, $4,000
ravinc fans were driven into deiirlum
when the Colossus OF Clout came up
IN the sixth inning, with Ward on first
base and tied the score with his second
homo run OF the season. 1t was a
screaming line drive into the lower
stand garnered from the port slants

in the sixth inning Of the second con-

Babe Ties the Score
1t was wonderful setting for the
big boy of baseball. The home team
was behind, circuit cout was needed
to tie the score, and holiday crowd
was on hand TO demand it with loud
and raucous shrieks. New or never"
said the Babe. and crashed q line drive
into the lower stand. scoring Ward
ahead Of him and knottinq the pastime
at two runs for each team.
Then came the allegedly "lucky'
seventh. 1t was lucky enough, but only
when viewed from the direction Of
Philadelphia and points further West.
MCGOWAN drew transportatio from
Shawkey, galloped to third on a
two -bagger to left field by Jimmie
Dykes, and scored on sacrifice fly by
Galloway.
Here we are again" smiled Connie
Mack, with one-run lead to work on.
The smile on the countenance of the
lean leader of the Philadelphia clan
vanished in the eighth when Aaron
Ward tied the contest UP once more
with a screeching drive that whistled
its way just over the high concrete
barrier into the right field stand.
1t looked AS thought the usual holi-
day extra-innng game was due to keep
a lot Of housewives planning repri'
sails as the dinner grows cold, but
Waily Schang saved the roast beef
even if he let the Mackmen run of

With two down in the fatal ninth
MCGOWAN beat out hit to deep short.
On an attempted hit and run Dykes
missed his swing and the runner was

The Yankees put no belated rally in
their half Of the inning. Pipp ground

when the second saoker heaved the
to centerfeld for the second out, and
then Connie Mack ordered Schang
walked. AL Devormer was called on to
strike g blow for hearth and home, but
the best he could do was q pop fly to
Young, which ended the game.
Real Battle in Morning
Aaron Ward was the rock on which
the morning game split. 1t was Wards
mistake In the eighth that allowed
the Mackmen to tie the score at two all.
and II was his base hit In tho second
half Of the same inning that finally
resulted in the winning run. Both
Waite Hoyt, the worlds series star,
and young Jim Sullivan, the Mackian
right-hander, were pitching high-class
ball, and both teams we're simply wait
ing for the breaks.
Tho Athletics took the lead before
the carly dew was off the grass, when
Galloway singled to left In the third,
stole second, aided by low throw
from Schang, and galloped home when
Sullivan Unexpectedly pounded single
70 right field. The Yanks tied It up in
the fourth on Babe Ruth's two-bagger
that Clipped some concrete off the
right field wall, an infeld out by long
Bob Meusal and line single to CEN
ter by Wally Pipp.
Not content with this the Hugmen
stole away to one-run lead in the
lucky seventh. Deacon Everett Scott
started the ball rolling with two
base hit down the left field line Nally
Schang came across with hard drive
into the same territory which Tl,y
Walker managed to reach but failed
to hold. 1t went for q two-base hit
and Scott counted handily.
Then came the eighth, with the pecul-
lar play on which the Athletics tied
the score, while Ward was debited with
. rare kind of an error. "Doc" JohYs-
ton spanked a line single off the right
field wall. When Meusel returned the
ball to second base Wardie noticed the
abrasion on the cover, and, holding the
spheroid out toward Umpire Nallin, he
asked permission to toss the ball out OF
the game. Right there was the point
