The Yanks and the White Sox
reel melodrama ever seen at the Polo
Grounds yesterday with just enough
comedy relief in it to keep the GUS
toners from heat apoplexy. The COM
edy was furnished by the Yankee base
running, which was so screamingly
funny that Leon Errol comedian by
profession, turned green with envy in
the pest box. Though outnumbered
by eighteen players to fifteen the
White Sox won the contest by to Z.
Babe Ruth had the game won in the
seventh with his fifteenth home run,
but Waite Hoyt. the Brooklyn Boy
Wonder, was knocked silly in the
eighth. In the ninth, after more ex
cursions and alarums than the daddy
of all the melodramatists, the late Bill
Shakespeare, ever crowded into an
act, the Yanlxs had it tied up again.

The ninth was the big act. The White
Sox were leading by to 4. Col. Till

braved the tropical sun with his lucky
iron boiler. had sought the shelter Of
the stands on the advice of his physi-
clan. The customers had started to
filter toward the exits, lingering only
to see what Babe Ruth might do.
Wards Hit Starts Trouble.
The Babe drew a base on balls
Meusel fouled out to Yam Yaryan, the
vegetable catcher of the Sox. and
Schang hoisted to center Ward was
up and the crowd began to dwindle
visibly. Ward sashed a hit against
the left field fence and Ruth shuffled
to second. Apparently it was too
warm for so stout young gentleman
to attempt getting to third and the
Babe had practically knocked off work
for the day.
Scott bunted down toward third base,
and with a beautiful squirt beat the
ball to first. filling the bases with
Yanks and the stands with sudden
hope. But those hopes wilted when it
was realized that McNally was the
next up.
Suddenly there crawled out of the
Yankee dugout q stocky middle aged
gentleman a trifle wan about the fea-
lures and seeming to need a shave. 1t
was Home Run Baker, summoned from
thesconvalescent ward to save the day.
No sooner was this magnificent gesture
made than Kid Gleason, wrinklng vsi-
bly,. made counter gesture with his
fingers and nose. He sent Robertson
to the showers and summoned Terdi-
nand Schupp. the left handler.
Hardly had Schupp entered the box
when Miller Higgins waved Baker back
into the dugout and sent out Hoffman.
Schupp, thus crossed, became wild and
passed Hoffman, forcing in Babe Ruth
with run. The customers by this
time had rushed back to their places.
With the bases still filed Huggins sent
out Elmer Miller, while half of the gal
lery screamed disapproval.
Immediately Kid Gleason yanked out
Schupp and substituted Blankenship,
a right handler. No sooner was this
done than Huggins unfastened the soli-
tary confinement cell Of the Yankee dug
out and released Francis Xavier ODoul.
the left handed pitcher who is never
allowed to pitch.
OsDouI Drives In Two Runs.
VDoul came into the sunlight blink
ing and with the dugout pallor in his
features. There were two strikes on
him when he slashed hit past short
and scored Ward and Scott. This tied
the count. At this point 1t seemed that
with Col. Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Hus-
ton wearing the lucky derby boiler the
Yanks could not be passed.
Tho tumult and the shouting died
and hostilities were resumed with grim
ouiet with Mays In the box and Nc
MILAN, who has become almost total
stranger because OF his incarceration
IN the dugout, playing third base.
Mays cracked a bit In the eleventh and
they got the fadeout lens ready for
the thriller.
Falk singled to right field. Sheely
was thrown out by Mays. Yam Yaryan
was passed purposely because the vege-
table catcher of the Sox had hit home
run the first time he appeared here this
season. Then Amos Strunk. who had
been hidden In the Sox dugout UP to this
time, was wheeled out. Amos bounced
a single over the head of Aaron Ward
and FaIk came in with the winning run
Ruth's fifteenth homer came in the
seventh inning with Pipp on first. 1t
went on a straight line into the right
field bleachers. Col. Tillinghast L'Hom-
medieu Huston, whose iron hat was the
only somber note in the straw and white
shirt background. moved confidently to
more prominent section of the stands.
Hardly nau the man IN tne iron hat
shifted his position when Waite Hoyt

spectators Johnson singled In the
eighth and went to second on Mulligans

freakish single off one OF Wally Pipp's

Yanks lowered around Hoyt. feeling
that the Boy Wonder should be given
the rest of the afternoon off.
