outcast of Boston Common, bite the
Schang, Scott, Dugan and the others.
BotR games were won by ex
Yankees hitting home runs, which
caused Col. Tillinghast LHommedieu
Huston TO mutter, Cast your balr
players upon the waters and they will
return after many days and kick you
in the Stats" A home run by Johnny
Mitchell, who served a long sentence
in solitary confinement in the Yankee
dugout, helped 10 win the first game
by to 3. A homer by Derrill Pratt
furnished the wallop that won the sec
ond game by TO 8.
Col Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Huston
was a sonnber and solitary figure as the
sun set. The $4,000 customers had
dwindled to a corporars guard, COL
Jacob Rupert. uttering one last despair
ing moan, had departed in the middle
Of the second game; Bad Bill Fleishman
had quit the pasture in the bull pen to
wait for the umpires, and Miller Hug
gins had crawled through crack in
the dugout.
Alas. the Iron Hat Is Gone.
Col. Huston sat in the Pest Box bare
headed when all but him had fled. The
Iron Hat, his talisman, was not on his
head. II was carried into the Hudson
River last night and sank somewhere
Off Grants Tomb. The river is being
dragged for it to-day and the Colonel
hopes that it will be recovered before
it is too late. The rugged features Of
the last OF the Yanks. gray and Inn
mobile in grief. looked like a carved
bowlder on Coogan's Bluff itself.
AS the Boston Red Sox went into the
lead in the second game and Harry Nj.
Stevens's inexorable scoreboard relent-
lessly announced that the st. Louis
Browns were winning from Cleveland
the pleasant afternoon began to take on
a funereal aspect. The two owners of
the Yanks sat side by side, their heads
bowed with grief and their knees quak-
ing with anguish until the stands rocked
on1inously. ~
In one of the lower tier boxes a.
prattling child laughed gayly. It's
mother quickly gathered the little one
up and admonished 1t in stage whisper

how those two gentlemen are suffering r
Babe Gets His Twenty-ninth.
Ruth got his twenty ninth home run IN
the first game but there Is not whole
lot of consolation in lone home runs py
the Babe when the Yanks are showing
signs of breaking down In the stretcn.
Old Doc Bell, who came out for air the
first time this season. diagnosed ther
trouble as an epidemic OF fatty degen-
Grafton OF the head. That's serious
complaint.
The Babes homer came in the first
inning of the game. just after Dugan
had batted into a double play. In the
third Inning came the panic that shot
the ex-Yankees into the lead. Herb
Pennock the vencrabl. left handler VINO
was pitching for the Sox. singled and
took second on a sacrifice. With Miller
out Cleveland George Burns singled and
the score was tied. Burns promptly
stole second and Derril Pratt. who loves
to smack one of the pitchers of his cx-
employers, connected for single.
Then came the big disaster Harris
lifted one Of those Texas leaguers TO
short right. Ward and Ruth both
started after it. Ruth waddling like a
whale taking the overland route, and
neither got 1t consequently. The ball
skidded along the green while two runs
came in.

Johnny Mitchell. who was thrown In
with Clhck Fewster and healthy check
in the trade for Dugan, slammed the
ball toward the lower right field stands.
II might or might not have gone in, but
one of the customers reached out a Tin.
The ball struck the fin and dropped into
the field. Despite. the sauawking OF the
Yanks Umpire Evans ruled Il home
run. and the ruling practically disposed
