to break the tie that then existed
and put the Yanks into the lead they
never reiinquished. Pipp, Schang and
aeott co!laborated with singles to
bring Jack Bentley into the picture
in hurting role. Against the Sandy
spring southpaw in the succeeding
session the Bambino evolved another
fensive of the Hugnen for the day,
put 1t proved entirely adequate, for
Iennock went screnely on his left
handed way, inspiring confidence in
his mates and the spectators alike,
even in the sixth, when lie was
reached for another tally through a
trio of consecutive one-base blows.
Pcnnock Shows GamenesS.
Next to Ruth, the outstanding fig
ure of the fray was the sparely built
portsider who performed SO credita-
h'y in the box for the Yankees. Pen
mock pitched a game that illustrated
why the Hugmen are rated as su-
perior to the Giants in the box, and
caught the tickle fancy of the throng
by the gameness he showed in car
rying on after being feIled with
crack In the ribs by Bentley while
at bat in the fourth.
The wealth of spectacular fielding
which made the initial encounter so
notable was absent in this second
sortie, the only defensive bits mer!ting
more than passing attention being con-
tr1buted by Joe Dugan, the sterling
third sacker Of the Yanks, who twice
distinguished himself by the manner in
which he handled short taps aimed his
way. McQuillan in the third and Kelly
In the ninth pushed teasers down the
line, on which Dugan was compelled to
dash in ct full speed and maneuver with
one hand.
With Witt falling to get on at all the
chances for dumb base running by the
9anks, heretofore their gravest offense,
were minimized. and for wonder what
Few breaks there were favored the
Yanks, one of Young's two Juggling acts
figuring in the scoring of Pipp, although
Wally would have registered without the
extra base it gave him.
McQuillan is Unsteady.
slcQuiilan was none too steady at the
outset, walking Dugan after Witt had
been set down, and taking no chances
with Ruth. after he had gotten into
hole on the Babe, who refused to bite at
his wide and low deliveries. With two

but Bob's cut resulted in a roller to

Pipp had been retired in the second
inning before Ward registered the first
nit and run of the pastime all by his
lonesome. 1t was clout that carried
INTO the new upper stand in left field,
Irish Meusel being compelled to stand
helplessly and watch it sail over his
heah.
4 Four Giants had faced Pennock and
failed to get ball out of the infield
when Meusel the elder duplicated
Wards wallop in the second inning
to knot the count. 1t was an even
1ustier larrup than Aarons landing
farther up and over and might have
been good for the circuit in a park
with an unrestricted playing field.
following Cunningham's demise.
Kelly pumped a single to center. but
was left by Snyder, and marked the
beginning of the end for McQuillan.
Ruth Gets Hold of One.
Ruth's first exemplification of his
specially was reserved for the fourth
inning. The Babe had proved the
right, right man aa1,do in the h, right spot in the
OF Young s terrific liner after Groh
had received Pennock's first frank
and had advanced a notch on Frisch's
single to center. The count on the
Babe was two balls and one strike
when his bat swished and the bali
sped high and far over the top of the
stadium in right field. 1t would have
cleared the scoreboard fence at the
Washington park.
Bob Meusel then stood with his bat
on his shoulder and took three called
strikes. but Pipp dumped a Texas
Lacquer to right, and after Ward pop
ped harmlessly, Schang shot safety
to right, on which Pipp reached third
when Young fumbled. Scott's sturdy
swat to center cashed Pipp and
brought Jack Bentley to the mound
in place of McQuillan. The Sandy
Spring residents first delivery struck
Pennock in the small of the back, the
Yankee HEAVIER groaning audibly as
he sank to the ground. Gamely going
to first after a brief interval, Pen
mock and his two mates watched Witt
loft to Cunningham, to leave the
bases loaded.
Babe Gets Another.
Ruth's history making swat in the
fifth was accomplished under rather
remarkable circumstances. He swung
from the end of the first ball pitched
and fouled it off, but after the count
had reached two balls and one strike
the Bambino choked his bat as If
seeking merely a one-base knock.
Two more fouls resulted before
george Herman, with his hands well
up on the bludgeon, connected for
drive that carried on line into the
lower stand in right field.
The applause greeting this feat

field at the end of the frame. Bob
Meusel followed Ruth with safety
to right that netted him two bases
time He moved to third when Pipp
dribbIed to Kelly, but the latter got
under Wards foul to end 1t.
The Giants broke out in the sixth
with a rush of bingle6 that got tnem
a tally before the spectators had
time to digest the proceedings. Groh's
single to center was followed by
safety to left by Frisch that sent
him to third, and another safety to
the same sector by Young cashed
him. The stands were in hubbub,
which Increased on the next play,
when Irish Meusel rolled to Scott.
Eyerett's toss to Ward forced Young
at second, but Aarens attempt to
heave to Pipp for a double play was
frustrated by the foot ball tactics
of Young in going into the pivot man.
The Yanks swarmed about Umpire

minutes of time. Then Cunningham
followed with the same Offering and
the dual killing went through, end-

with only single by Scott, which
was nulled when Pennock hit into
twin death, and a pass to Ruth. who
wastrapped off first, the Yank4 failed
to threaten again until the eighth,
when, with one gone, a pass to Pipp
and Wards single to center put them
in a position to tally. Nothing came
