victory for Bullet Joseph Bush. one OF
the most useful purchases that the Yaa-
kee owners made at the bargain counter
Of the Boston Red Sox. Hungry Har-
ris, the longest pitcher in organized
baseball, almost had the Yanks stopped
in the second one. If the dieting rules
Of the Philadelphia Athletics had per-
mitted him to take little food before
the game-even an olive would nave
done something to I'LL out his spare
frame-he might have had the strength
to hold the Yanks.
While the demonstration made AT the
departure of the Yanks was wildly en-
thusiastic, il was typical. The New
York customers are with the winner al

that he was T. j. Burke of White Plans:

Things did not start quite auspiciously
in the FIRST game for Bullet Joe Bush,
the pitcher who has refused to have MS
hair even bobbed until the Yanks have
cinched the pennant. Dykes plastered
him for a home run into the left field
steeraee in the first inning.
Bush started the drive that really won
the game in the third with a solid single
past short and was forced when VIII
tried TO sacrifice. Dugan smashed one

filling the bases with Yanks and the
customers with expectations. Pipp the
driver OF runs sent Witt and Dugan
home with a single and Ruth scored
when Miller made wild return.
While the ball was bounding aimlessly

sacrifice fly by Schang. The hats
