but Judge, working with Peck to
snare Ward. hurled the ball to Ruel
and Wally soon was run down by
Muddy and Ossie Bluege.
Again the Bucks quickly off-set
the Yankee lead, hard hitting by
Rice and Goslin and some daring
base running by the latter accounting
for two markers in the fifth. With
McNeely out of the way, Harris
strolled. only to be caught off first
by the Wiley Pennock and retired at
second to which base he dashed in
attempting to make the best of a poor
situation. But Rice clouted a two
bagger to right, then GoSlin followed
with a hit over Meusels head in left
center.
Goose Slides in SafeIy.
The blow was deep enough to per-
NIT Rice to score easily, bat it did
not seem likely that Goose would get
beyond third base. Meusel was
ready to throw the sphere in when
the Buck was on the way up from
secohQ oaSe. out GoSlln kept travel
ing. The Yankee outfielders throw
to Scott was not so good and Scotty
made it worse by fumbling the ball
momentarily. Then the Deacon un-
corked high heave to Schang that
GooSe slid under with the tying run.
Russell Yields Three Runs.
Goslin's successful effort was
game one typical of the performance
of the Bucks all through the contest,
but 1t seemed that it would be wasted
when the Yanks managed to peck
away at Russell for another trio of
talies.
One of these markers was gar
nered in the fifth session, but the
enemy had to work hard for it. Pen
mock opened the round with a walk.
witt flied to Goslin, but Dugan drove
to right center and the blow was held
to double only through Rice's re-
narkable try for backhand catch
Sam Knocked down the ball and Nc
Neely retrieved it in time to hold
Pennock to third base. Ruth was
passed purposely, filling the bases
Meusel then flied so deep to Rice
that Pennock scored and the other
runners advanced a notch after the
catch. Judge, though, stopped the
rally by gathering Pipp's hot ground
er and beating the batter to first.
TWO Yankee runners dented the
pan in the seventh. Witt was an easy
out with a fly to Goslin to begin the
frame. but Dugan singled to center
AS Ruth stepped to the plate wav-
ing his precious home-run bat Har-
ris and Russell held a hurried con-
ference on the mound 1t was de-
cided that Allen should pitch to the
Bambino instead of passing him, so
Harris assumed the position afield
used with the big fellow at bat, a
stand far back and well over to-
ward first base.
But Harris and all the other Bucks
would have had to leave the grounds
to be in favorable position to han
die the drive that Babe poled. High
over the right field stand screen and
far up into the bleacher seats the
ball scared. 1t was as honest
homer as could be called for. Meusel
and Pipp proved soft victims, but
the Yanks were three runs to the
good and the Bucks had much work
ahead.
Griffs Do 1t in the Eighth.
That work they accomplished with
dispatch in the eighth round. Pen

but the play enabled Bluege to score.
Ruel, though. was forced to hold sec
ond. Memo Leibold went to bat for
Russell and drew pass. McNeely
knocked a Texas League single over
Wards head, loading the sacks, and
then there was action a-plenty.
Harris had e-and-two count
before he drove the ball at Dugan.
The slam nearly knocked Joe off his
PINS. but officially it was Dugan's
error that let Ruel score and kept
the bases filled. The situation Wor-
ried Manager Higgins SO that he
yanked CASTOR and sent the Nationals
