fNS, tnSeeGi TWO ronSlfg nome runs
made all the differences in the world TO
the Yankees yesterday, Long Bob
Meusei made one OF them at the ex-
pense Of Howard Ehmke. when he tied
the score in the ninth with a blow into
the left field bieachers, end Elmer
Smith, the recent arrival from the
Yankee farra, produced the other cir
cult clout in the tenth, when he sent
some $1,000 happy fans homcward with
ronsing blow into the upper right
field stand.
Battling Bob shawkey pitched for
the Yanks, and he hurled great game,
even if the willy Tigers did nick him
for an even dozen base blows. The
deep sea sailor would have held the
plate free of alien footsteps except for
an incautious base on balls to Tyrus
Raymond himself in the first inning.
Two men were down when Bob com
mitted this social error, and the hurler
had cause to regret it Immediately, for
singles by Veach and Holman brought
the tally over the pan,
For the next seven innings neither
team could force run across the plate,
though both threatened prodigiousiy
ct odd and interesting times. Howard
Ehmke was twisting himself into
strange and grotesque shapes and ne
was doing it with a purpose. He made
the Yankee batters laugh so hard that
they couldn't hit at all. He forgot to
be funny in the ninth, mainly because
ne was deeply grieye3 over high
crime and misdemeanor committed by
his battery mate, Johnny Bassler.
Muffed Foul Payes Way
1t happened with one man down in
the final inning. The Tigers still chung
70 their 10 lead, and needed but an
other pair OF put-euts to stick the
game in the Detroit locker. Bob Meusel
hadn't hit the ball out of the infield
in three previous tries. This time he
popped up a puny foul and hurled his
bat away in disgust. The ball came
down in a shower of horseshoes, for
IL bounced out of Bassler's glove, and
Bob got another chance. He made the
most of it, and crashed the next ball
pisched over the head of Bob Veach.
It lowered high in the air, while the
Fans sat breathless.
Veaeh leaned against the left field
fence, tearing up daisy and recifing
"Sae loves me, she loves me not" The
snhwer to the left fielder's puzzle was
Not" for the ball fell just out Of
,esch two rows back in the bieachers.
{ colt and Ward followed with singles
q the expense OF EnUhet anu Sopp
decided that Howard was weakening
,;1der the strain. With the tying run
~ second base, he sent "Red" Oldham
o the mound. Norman Mcmillan was
sent up to bat for Whitley Witt, but
the inning ended when Scott was
caught off second and run down.
Then came the tenth. Veach opened
it with single to right off Shawkey.
At this stage the fiery Georgian deter
mined on 8 little strategy. The obvious
thing was a sacrifice bunt. Therefore
Ty trotted up to Handsome AIRY He'll
mann and whispered something in his
ear Heilmann nodded acquiescence
ard immediately hit into double play
with much vigor and vim. If that was
what Ty told him to do, it was COM
plete success. Ancient George Cutshaw
also singled but died stealing.
That gave the Yanks another chance
at the wavering game and they made it
good, Elmer Smith isn't supposed to
hit left-handers. Just to show how
contrary a bail player can be, he went
four times hitless against Ehmke, a
Highlander, and then in his first time
mp against port-sided fiinging he won
the game with his looping circuit blow
