New-York tribune., 1922-10-01


last five innings Of that epic strife,
which crowned with a chaplet Of
laurel q campaign marked with dis
NAL spaces and disappointing defeats,
| the Boston team drove fercely, and
finally drove Waite Hoyt to the cover
of the bench.
| But rdding themselves of Hoyt, the
Red Sox encountered Joe Bush. hero of
she fork bali, and their drive was
checked Bush pitched to Karr, Men
osky and Chaplin. Karr walked, but
cae two latter men were retired on
simple chances. r-,s7 "srsss' !,
Wally Pipp, the steel nerved picker,
smote the wallop that drove home the
first two runs scored by the Yankees
and placed the third man, Babe Ruth,
in position to score when long Bob
lIeusel drove his sacrifice fly to Elmer
siiller. Wally came up in the first
0ut, and smote a clean single to right
held, scoring Witt and Dugan.
First Rush Is Enough
! The first rush Of the Yankees was
sufficient to win. After that inning
.hey made just three hits and had only
enc chance to register at the plate.
That was in the third inning, and Bob
! Meusel clouted into a double play, end
ing the frame and bringing rousing
cheer from the populace. But the first
impetus was sufficient and coupled
with the sterling defense, SO evident
IN the last several games of the Yam
Wees, it was good enough to bring them
home winners of the day and cham
pions of the league.
Waite Hoyt hurled his arm off in the
effort to succeed where Bush and Bob
| Shawkey had failed in three attempts.
Eoyt had something on every ball, and
We worked himself weary as he plunged
&.lrough frame after frame. The move
Of Miller Huggins might be termed
military strategy in taking Hoyt out
/ of the game. The Sox were pressing
| too heavily for comfort, and there was
an insistent demand for quick and de-
cisive action. Hoyt obeyed the man
! date of the tiny leader without ques-
20 watch Bush finish the task he had
30 ably started.
The Yankee heroes of the fray We're
hDugan, with his skilled stops and
I'shrows; the agile Scott, and the ever
i alert Pipp on first base. But one of
the saving plays of the game was made
Ivy Walle Schang in the ninth inning,
when calling for pitch out with Karr
1T the bat, he snapped throw to
second, where Everett Scott tagged
Mitchell and removed the menace of a
run. The Sox had two men on the
! 1ines with none out and two runs
needed to tie the count. 1t was nervy
.lay. but it went through and saved
i the Hugmen an embarrassing moment.
! A full week had elapsed since the
;rfo ~
ming this afternoon found them raging
| and roaring. Whitley Witt maced a
single to center and Joe Dugan came
| through with a single to right. When
| Babe Ruth came to bat the Red Sox
| shifted their defense and played the
! Banbino for long smash to right
field. But the Babe played team base
! bali and bunted. He was safe by
/ eight or nine steps and the bases were
/ jammed to capacity.
Pipp on the Job
/ Who could ask for better man than
Waiiie Pipp in this emergency? The
steel nerved picker shot a rousing sin
gle through the ;nheld and Witt scored
with Dugan right on his heels. Ruth
took third, and Pipp went to second on
The throw. That ended Ferguson and
The fork handed Herbert Pennock en-
tered the game. Meusel flied to Miller,
/ scoring Ruth, but there the run max
ing ended for the time being.
I Ibe Yankees dug in behind that lead
/. and made no hostile raid in the sec
/ ond frame, but the third found them
testing Pennock. Dugan opened with
clean single to center field, and
Ruth walked on four consecutive wide
pitches. Pipp then ATTEMPTED bunt,
~ T. Av, 30 IL
which the latter caught outside the
| foul line. Pennock found Meusel's
weakness, and long Robert crashed
| into a double play, Mitchell to Pratt
to Burns. There was nothing to re-
port in the fourth and fifth, except
that brilliant plays by Burns and Ell
mer Miller robbed Hoyt and Dugan
of extra base hits.
While the Yankees were doing their
hitting and scoring, Waite Hoyt
pitched in approved style. There is
some potent tonic In the autumn air
which works into Hoyt's system and
