The Pullman twins" certainly hit
together Thursday. Bob Meusel
crashed the ball out Of the Detroit lot
in the sixth with two mates aboard
and Babe Ruth lifted the pellet over
tSe center field fence in the seventh
with ene mate on. 1t was Babes
thirty-ffth homer.
That New Yori; Detroit game was a
thriller. George Dauas, Indianapolis
boy. struck out Witt. Dugan and
Ruth to start the game. Later Dauss
was injured and had to retire. All in
all the Yanks used three pitchers and
the Tigers five. In the ninth Detroit
had runners on second and third
with none out, but failed to score.
How many games has Everett

But what we were going to say
