a bunt by Moon Harris that really
was responsible for the Yank marker
in the fourth.
Fred AIarberry toiled through the
sixth, seventh and eighth after Joe
Judge had pinCh-batted for Gregg
Fred was reached for two hits and
those mixed with Earl MciNeely's fun.
BILE gave the visitors in the sixth
what proved to be the decisive score
of the fray. Memo Leibold batted for
Fritz in the eighth. so Allen Russell
pitched the last frame. He had a
= wild streak, then recovered sufficiently
to fan Gehrig, who had hit each of
the three preceding hurlers. All told,
the National pitching was of no mean
order. but with the club at ShoCker' 5
mercy it availed nothing.
Babe Ruth's single with two gone
went for Sweeney in the Yankees
first turn at bat. but the visitors were
not long in getting a, score in their
second. Lou GehriS, after looking over

Harris withdrew the weak hitting

Ruether at the plate. Dutch sent a
hopper toward Dugan that the latter
was slow in fielding, but not as slow
as Ruether was on the runway. The
pinch-batter was retired. while Sew

Hank remained, for McNeely, who
bunted, was tagged out by Bengough.
The Yanks combined a two-bagger

TO center, and was advanced a peg by
Dugan's sacrificial tap. When Ben
cough bunted, Joe Harris tried TO get
Gehrig at the plate. Moon not only
threw too late, but wildly, and the
run got in, while the bUnter reached
second. After Wanninger flied to Cos
lin, Gregg filled the bases with passes
TO Shocker and Combs. Ernie John
rolled TO Moon Harris.
In their part of the fourth the Ma
tiOnals were helpless and in the fifth
the YankS had their two hits offset
by good bit of fielding that caught
Ruth at third base for the second out.
The Champs. though. clustered a trio
of bingles for a marker in their half

j. Harris Gets Double.
Joe Harris began the inning with a
double against the left field stand.

through the box and Buck Harris
bounded the ball through a gate in
