that little. else remained conspicuous
waite Hoyt, twirling for the Yam
KEGS. was also hit hard, yielding as
many piows as did five Cardinal
Fingers, but he was at his best in the
pinches and had easy sailing after
the fifth inning, when St Louis
pitchng staff, as represented by Ar
thur Reinhar, and Herman Bell, col
lapsed.
Hoyt might have escaped with les:
damage 1nt for an error in the fourth
inning by Mark Koenig, erratic YAM
kee shortstop, who fumbled OFarrell's
grounder with an easy double play
in sight tnat would have ended th'
inning. Taking advantage of this
break the Cardinals rallied to
score three runs on doubles by
and Douthit and single by South
worth, wiping out the lead which the
Yankees had gained through Ruth's
first two homers. Flint Rhern, whose
right handed offerings had been
pounded for four innings, yielded to
a. pinch hitter in the Cardinals big
rally, but his successor, Arthur Rein
hart, Immediately tossed away his
teams advantage with as wild
brand of southpaw Singing as any
series mas ever seen.s
Reinhart walked four Yankees, in
.clud.ng Ruth, in the fifth ard per-
1nitted n double by KoenIg before
passing out of the picture. Two runs.
/ had crossed the plate and rio one was
cut when Hornsby hurriedly sum-
moned Herman Bell, who issued an
,other pass and contributed = bark
while two more runs rushed over,
aided by Lazzeri's sacrifice and an
lnfield out by Dugan.
/ After that Hoyt twirled brilliantly,
holding the Cardinals easily In check
until the ninth, when they manu- fac
tured their final rrn cn, singles by
aornsby and Lester ell, mixed with
Bottomley's infield out. HEne Yankee
pitching star was a bit ansteaoy
times, but his control WIS at is best
when the Cardinals were on the bases
He struck out eight of the Red Birds,
Including Hornsby twice.
Bell lasted through the sixth, iii
which Ruths third homer, following
Combs single, produced two more
runs. Bill Hallahan, another sourn
paw, was touched for the final Yam
kee run in the seventh, SEVERED
crossing the plate on his single,
Hoyt's sacrifice ana Combs double.
Vic Keen, fifth Cardinal pitcher, held
1.-The Yank ees scoreless in the nintn
Another Record
While they were at the business Of
coming to life at. bat, tie yankees
shattered the team record for long
distance hitting in worlds series
games. Ruths three homers, plus
five doubles and six singles, totalled
28 bases, breaking the mark of 27
made by the Giants in 1921.
Marked as it was, by record break
ling hitting and attendance, the game
also was punctuated by freakish plays
and episodes, the most noteworthy
occurring in the fcur.n inning when
Douthit and Hafey, Cardinal outfield-
I,ers. collided while in full chase after
Dugan's short fly, threatened for a
moment to assume serious proper
tiors. Both players were stretched
revived quickly and seemed none the
worse for their mishap afterward
| Ali told it was as weird and spec
| tacular a tilt as the worlds series
has witnessessed in many a moon.
IL IurnlSned audltlonal proot that the
! Yankees and Cardinals are out to
battle each other down to the finish.
The conclusion is certain now to be
/ fought out at the Yankee stadium
| regardless of he result of tomorrow's S
! fifth game, the last scheduled here.
The contending clans are slated to
meet Saturday in New York for the
sixth game and on the same battle~
ground for the seventh if it is neces-
sary.
