New-York tribune., 1922-08-19

This Bush person didn't have to work
through the torrid afternoon to win
the hair line decision. Waite Hoyt and
Sam Jones labored in the vineyard
through the heat of the day, while Joe
arrived at the eleventh hour. Just be-
fore the iaborers were receiving every
man penny" The pay-of gong was
rung by the eminent tragedian, G. Her
man Ruth, who set ten thousand spec
tators right on their heels by clouting
the frs. ball pitched in the Yankee
tenth for his twenty-third home run of
the season. Babe had previously bat
ted in three runs with triple and
single and had scored after his triple.
II was big day for G.. n. Ruth.
It was q monumental blow, combed
from the offerings of Monsieur Joubert
Lum Davenport, lanky left-hander
who had intruded on the pastime after
Ted Blankenship had been. withdrawn
for a pinch hitter. The ball landed
high up and far away in the back row
of the upper right field stand, and in
addition to winning bali game, it
brought the Yanks to a tie for first
place in the American League, chalked
up the ninth straight winning effort
for Joe Bush, and his twentieth victory
Of the season. The more thought that
Is given TO the force of that blow, the
larger IL looms.
Hoyt Forced to Retire
The consumption of pitchers was
something terrific. Waite Hoyt and
Ted Blankenship were the respective
starters. In the fifth inning the Fiat
bush youth ahsentmindedly tossed up
4 ball to the plate and forget to re-
move his fingernail from the cover.
The score was tied at the time at two
rrus aacr EnvSte Droa+tsra
affected by his removal. Squire Jones
came to the rescue Of the Flatbush
finger, and twice was presented with
q comfortable lead which he insisted
on casting to the four winds. In JUS
tice to the Squire however, it should
be stated that Bob Meusel was respon-
sible for the three alien tallies that
tied the score in the eighth, when he
lost Falk's fly in the sun.
When Sam started the ninth by
walking Davenport, he was hustled to
the cooling showers, and in came Bull
let Joe like Truck to a three-alarm
FIRE, red flannel shirt and everything!
Joe grunted, groaned and wheezed his
way to success in his most accom-
plished style. His one regret was that
he did not rob Ruth of his laurels
md win the game himself with
homer in his one turn at bat in the
ninth.
A line single by Amos Strunk and
home run by Eddie Collins into the
lower right field stands gave the Sox
pair Of markers right after the
starting whistle had been blown. The
Iugmen got that right back on a
scratch single past third by Dugan
triple that the Bambino bounced off
sheeley's glove and sacrifice fly by
Pipp. That brought the boys even
again, and the contest was started all
over.
With Squire Jones on the mound
or the'Yanks, the Gleason Tribe added
two more tallies in the sixth, ON a
walk to Hooper, single by Shelley
and double by Bib Falk.
A walk to Pipp, safe blow by
Schang and Meusels homer into the
left field bleachers gave the Yanks
three runs and the lead in their half
IF the same inning, and timely single
by the Bambino, off Southpaw Daven-
rort, in the seventh scored Witt and
Dugan with two more tallies.
A walk to Hooper, singles by Col
Inns and Mcclellan and a dropped fly
ball by Bob Meusel gave the Sox three
runs and tied score, at runs all, in
the eighth. Then came the tenth, and
the ringing echo of the Babes bat
against the first ball pitched. Monsieur
Ioubert Lum Davenport erred griev-
ously when he laid that ball in the
froeve, and he is regretting it in sack
cloth and ashes.
