Also Doubles Twice as Mates
Beat Athletics 8 to 4 for
Sixth Straight.


doubles, the Yankees hacked their way
through Connie Mack's Athletics here to-
day for their sixth consecutive victory
since the Red Sox bumped them around
In double header. The score was to
4. All but three of these Yankee runs
were scored or driven across the plate
by the Behemoth of Bust.
Three Athletic pitchers felt the force
OF the Babes attack. Big Bob Hasty
started for the Macks and was tapped
for eight hits in the four innings he
pitched, including double by Ruth in
the first. Rollie Naylor then assumed
the pitching burden and was nicked for
five hits and four runs in one and
third innings. including homer by Ruth
in the fifth and double by the same
master mauler In the sixth.
Schillng. a recruit right handler, re-
placed Naylor after the Babes two bag
ger, and it was off his delivery that the
Sultan of Swat made his thirty-firs
home run of the season in the eighth.
Another recruit, Ketchum by name,
pitched the closing inning for the Macks
and retired the side before the Babe
came to bat.
Nor was Ruth the only lusty hitter in
the Yankee batting order. Barring Joe
Dugan and Everett Scott. every player
made at least one hit and Aaron Ward
made three, while Witt, Pipp, Schang
and Shawkey each weighed In with two.
Shawkey pitched the entire game for
the Yanks and yielded total of nine
hits, including a homer by Welsh at the
start of the sixth. With commanding
lead to work on, he eased up consider
| ably in the last few innings. but tight
ened up again after the Macks had
scored two runs in the eighth

| The Yanks broke away to one run
lead, but were speedily overtaken. In
the visitors half of the opening round
Witt beat out hit toward third and
sprinted around to second on Dykes's
overthrow. Dugan's sacrifice sent him
| to third and Ruths double to right
! brought him home. Ruth advanced to
third on Pipp's infield out and was
stranded there when Schang flied to
MCGOWAN.
In the Athletics half Dykes hit to
right and hoofed around to third for
charitable triple while Meusel was kick
ing the ball around. He scored the
tieing run a moment later while Ward
was tossing out MCGOWAN.
/ Meusel made amends for his slipshod
fielding In the first by prying open the
second with a legitimate triple to right.
Aaron Ward followed with a single
over second, and the Yanks were out in
front again. Hasty didn't look so good,
but Galloway planted himself in front OF
liner by Scott and double play saved
the Athletic finger from further scoring
in this inning. In the following round

Gowan saved Hasty again while robbing
Ruth OF triple.
! Pipp outfooted single over third at
the start Of the fourth and scored all the
way from first on Schang's line double
to the right field wall. Galloway's
throw to the plate took Wild bound

later on Meusel's long fly to MCGOWAN.

and two out, Miller batted for Hasty
and sent a smashing liner toward the

and high enough to enter the stands for
homer, but just as 1t cleared the wall
Witt leaped for it and ragged it down
for the third out.
Rollie Naylor faced the Yanks from
| the hill in the fifth. and the first hit
made off him was Babe Ruth thrtieth
homer OF the season. 1t came after
| Dugan had been retired and was regis
tered on a wallop to the left field
