Ruth was on second and Gehrig
on first when High took Meuselis
bounder and shot it to Frisch ahead
of Gehrig. The latter's peg to Bot
1omley was wide and so Ruth kept
on for the plate.
The Cardinals first sacker recov.

but Ruth's daring had hurried the
throw and, too. Ruth's beautiful

so much that he dropped the ball.
To make this inning memorable,
Meusel dug for second base where
Gehrig was all tangled up with
MaranvilIe, both lying on the
ground. Wilson, excited to the ut
most, picked up the ball and threw
1t out into center field, no one COW

wound up on third. from where he
