But he had done enough to estab-
li,h world series record without get
ting a fourth homer, and also enough
to- make the Cards just as dizzy as
were the Yanks-with the exception
of the Bambino, of course-durlne
the greater part of the matinee.
Ruth made Flint Rhem. youth1ul
richt-hand hurler, who started the
slabbing for the Cards, especially
dizzv. Young Rhem made only two
pitches to Ruth. but then he only
faced Ruth twice. Each pitch re.
suited in q drive into the rlght'neiu
bleachers. The first homer just man
aged to be one, for it dropped into the
stand lust within fair territory. Inc
second was a more vigorous drive ana
lined into the stand much farther
from the foul line than the first.
Bell Also Gets Dizzy.
But it was the third homer that
gave Herman Bell, third pltcher
trotted out by the Cards. fearful at-
tack of dizziness. This time. Ruth
looked over a couple of Herman's de
liveries before finding one to his lik-
ing. Then-Sock. Right on the
nose that pitch was hit, and the ball
Travelled straight into the center
field bleachers to become the longest
clout ever made within the confines
of this rebuilt Sportsman's Park:
1t was a clout that, made in Clark
Griffith Stadium in Washington,
would have carried to the farthest
point in center field. there to bang
against the wall we'll above the turf:
The other Yankee players also
helped to make the Cards dizzy by
pounding the assortment of hurlers
ordered into action by Manager Ros-
ers Hornsby for so many bingies that
when they were added to the trio
manufactured by the Babe, the Amer
ican League champions had total or
II to show for the day. The only
pitcher to stop the Yanks was VIC
keen, who winters in Washington. He
had to hurl to only three batters in
his one inning OF toll.
However. Waite HOyt. slabman, VINO
went the full route for the Yankees
did not escape the epidemic of dizzl-
ness. He, too, was pounded tfeelv
and before they were through for the
afternoon the Cards helped them
selves to as many safeties as the
Yanks had grabbed. But the CARDS
oragnized their attack well in but one
frame. At other times. when II
seemed Hoyt's dizziness would com
pei him to retire, his teammates
would rush to his relief with verbal
smelling salts, or Manager Miller
Huggins would take Waite's mind off
the vertigo attack by letting him
watch two or three other Yankee
hurlers warming up strenuously in
the bullpen This latter procedure
always proved particularly bFecing tc
the young man from Brooklyn.
Bob Meusel One of Dizziest.
Foremost in the ranks of the dizzy
ones was Robert Meusel. who usually
plays left field for the Yanks. but who
shifts to the right garden in Sports
mans Park, because Babe Ruth
simply can't stand the glare of the
sun and has to move over to the
left field here. 1t is of no concern tC
Ruth that when games here are
started at 1870 o'clock, as are these
world series games, that left field is
the sun field, the right field not be
ing entitled to that designation. Tn
til about o'clock he always has
played left field here, and does not
see why he should refrain from doing
so in this series merely because the
games start much earlier than cham
pionship season games.
SO along about the third inning
Meusel began to miss the glare in
which he is accustomed to toll and in
the fourth inning he had to take
time out. He told the umpires and
his anxious teammates that he had
an attack of dizziness and could see
nothing around him distinctly.
All the New York Club-regulars,
substitutes, coaches, trainer, bat boy
and even Manaper Miller HuPPinS-
gathered about the swaying athlete
offering first-aid suggestions. But a
delay of several minutes followed
before Meusel could resume his task
in the "sun" field.
Meusel had been dizzy before he
publicly proclaimed his condition in
| the fourth inning, though he was
