IJP@7 RECORDS
By ALAN ]. GOULD.

Babe Ruth led the Yam
KEGS out Of the Missouri
woods today with the great
est exhibition of home-run
hitting any worlds series
has ever seen.
Three b att erin g-r a m
blows from the B abe S
mighty bludgeon leared
all barriers and set fire to
a Yankee attack that crush
ed the Cardinals by a score
of 10 to 5 in the fourth
game of the worlds series
championship baseball bat
tie. AS a result the series
is deadlocked again, at two
victories each, with the
fifth game here tomorrow.
Today was a field day for
Ruth, the greatest he has
ever had in a worlds series
competition and one Of the
most spectacular of his wal
Looping career. His three
terrific homers not only
lifted the Yankees out of
their hitting slump, but fig
ured in the shattering: OF
seven worlds series records.
Another record Tor sportsmans
park. jam that numbered SS,S25 and
broke yesterdays mark, came in the
expectation of seeing the Cardinals
continue their winning streak 1nr
stead they saw Ruth lead IN on
slaught that started in the first In
ming and continued unabated through
hectic fray in which five Cardinal
pitchers paraded to the mound. They
saw a game of freak plays, filled
with good and bad baseball, but most
of all they saw the Babe at the peak
Of his glory. At the finish, these
Cardinal rooters had become 90
aroused that they yelled for ruth to
make a fourth homer when he came
to bat in the eighth and oooed Halia-
han, st. Louis pitcher when the latter
walked the Yankee slugger.
Nothing like the Babes clouting has
ever been seen before in basebalr2
classic. His first two circuit waiiops
came in the first and third innings,
each time off the first ball pitched by
Flint Rhem. The young Cardinal
right handler tried a fast curve IN the
opening frame and the Babe lofted
1t high over the upper deck OF the
right field grandstand In the third
inning Rhem shifted to a slow ball
that has been poison to RUN pre-.
viously in the series, but the BaDe
nailed 1t and drove it on line far
out over the roof of the right field
bleachers.
No one was on base to benefit from
either of these clouts, but Earl Combs
was on first when Ruth slammed ou~
his third homer off Herman Bell in
the sixth inning. The count was
three and two this time as Bell
worked cautiously on the Yankee star,
but the Cardinal twirler made the
mistake of trying to slip a fast one
over the plate. Ruth took toe hold
and smashed the ball on line and
high into the spectators in the CEN
ter field bleachers 1t was the most

Meanwhile Stella's eye was furtive-

brush just outside the gate. While
Bud, oblivious to everything but Stel

There was a crackle Of breaking

ers started to tie Bud up with coil
of rope.

the men, We'll lock the ranch hands
in the bunkhouse and drive of the
herd-we don't want any shootin' If

They rushed off toward the cow
boys quarters. One fingered mo-

and slashed the ropes that bound
Bud. It was Idaho Bill, the new mem

cross bar across the door, locking It.
Then they sneaked back swiftly to
get their horses. Again, unnoticed by
Bud flung open the clubhouse door,
crying "Rustlers." MIGUEL and the
other men jumped to their feet, whip
per out their guns, rushed out to the
stable and mounted horses.
Buck Mcleod, and his gang, now
remounted, dere dashing back. The
light shining from the open bunk
house door showed them they had
been foiled in the attempt to put
over the job quietly. Then they saw
the ranchmen come flying around
from the stable on their horses.

They opened fire. 1t was returned

Soap and Sewing

NJ EEDLES and thread. thimbles

selves in the foreground of our
thoughts when sewing is mentioned
but soap is never even consider
ed as part Of the sewing equip
ment. Once you have used soap
as an aid to sewing, however, you
will never be without piece in
your sewing basket.
To rub over the neatly creased
hens In new table linen. soap is
invaluable. The needle will slip
through so much more readily
than before the soap was applied.
A moistened bar of soap rubbed
on the surface Of fine material
in which buttonholes or eyelets
have to be made. will save fraying
at the edge Of the cut.
A piece of bar of soap serves
as an admirable needle cushion.
preventing rust as well as holding
the needles.
A white cake Of soap is Of course
most suitable for general sewing
purposes, as 1t will not discolor the
fabrics.

without even returning the fire.
Laboriously Bud and Miguel slid the
corral gate shut against the still on
coming steers, and finally had the
balance Of the herd locked in.
When the flying hoofs of the cattle
ceased passing over them Mary and
Terence breathed sigh Of relief.
They waited moment to make sure
that no more would come, then rose
to their feet.
well, dear, looks like your boys
got them on the rum" said Terrence.
They've got away with part of the
herd, but I'll trap them"
Mary looked at him pleadingly.
"Oh, don't go back to Them" she
said. "Stay. They'll discover you if
you rejoin them.
mo, Mary, ! must-it's for your
sake. I'm learning things about this
gang, and the real chief behind their
operations, that are important-to
save your father, and the ranch"
He looked at her lovingly. Then
he noticed Bud and Miguel coming
down the lane toward them.
"The boys-they mustn't know

He seized her with mock burliness,
and she struggled. During the strug-

returned it. This won't do, Mary"

resumed her struggle.
Bud and MIGUEL, running, were
coming close.
"Im going to throw you to the
ground, now, scale the fence, dash
for your stable, steal one Of your
horses, and beat it Terence
whispered. "Nowbe ready so you'll
fall easily and not hurt yourself"
He hurled his beloved to the ground
