in the current crucial series at the Yankee Stadium was postponed for at least twenty-four hours yester- day by that doddering invalid. George Herman Ruth. The post ponement was affected by the aban- don with which Mir. Ruth caressed two offerings sent up to the plate in the second game by Master Will liam Shores. apprentice right hand CT and suspected rescuer of George Earnshaw. the starting pitcher.
 The Athletics had won the first game behind Bob Groves puzxling slants by score of Il to and were headed along the victory trail in the second with an edge of to when the. Babe became the Babe again. His eleventh and twelfth home runs converted a 2 to , Yankee deficit into an s to ] advantage at the fin. ish. and the cham pions held on sev- en and one-half games behind the Athletics. just where they were be- fore hostilities were begun.
 Tho inimitable Mir. Ruth had done nothing much all afternoon when the seventh inning of the second game rolled around with the Yam kees in the hole. True he had driven in . second unearned run off Earn shaw with a single in the fifth and made the game close. but no one was prepared for his magnificent gesture into the right field bleach- ers when Earnshaw went to the showers after placing two Yankees on the bags with none out in the seventh.
 Young Shores marched to the box to make the best of bad situation, but committed the mistake of giving the Babe good one after getting two srikes on the premier alugger. The ball sailed gracefully in among the steerage passengers in the crowded right field bleachers. and the Yankees were ahead. Just to prove there was no mistake about It. the Babe repeated the act in the eighth. again with two mates aboard.
 Waite Hoyt daxzled 66,145 Yam kes clients with his finesse in tn ntghtcap, but fos all of this, the Athletics chiseled three runs from his delivery in the first three in ninss and seemed headed for i clean sweep and a lead of nine and ! ene.half games.
 Then in the fifth, Max Bishop. ptvet man on possible double play. dropped Joe Boley's assist, and the l champions helped themselves to two unearnsA runs. This was the unly1 Athletic error of the afternoon, and | If 1t had not been made, Earnshaw would have been permitted to try Ab ewn conclusions with Ruth Tn the seventh. The result Of any such | hypothetical meeting. of course. will never bs known
 Ruth's single and two homers drove home seven of the eight Yam kss runs. not . record but still no heht feat to be performed by just anybody on any old afternoon.
 The first game was 2 case of too much Grove and not enough Pen neck. It was Gro, @ eleventh vic- tSry against single defeat after yielding . run in the first inning, Connie Mack's great left handler meved through the Yankee batting efder with the unfalterins precision or . moving machine. The Athlet- ics, the while, were blasting away at the shell Of remarkable left hanI- CT with their heaviest guns.
 Al Simmons rapped Pennock and his relief. Messrs. sherid and Moore. for just five blows. including his fifteenth and sixteenth home runs He failed to get six hits mainly be. cause he was at bat only five tunes but he carried his punch over into the second combat. where he slap ped Hoyt for two doubles and d single in four attempts. Mule Haas also got . homer in the first game.
 The manipulatiens of Messrs, hutsins and McGillicuddy yesterday cleared the pitching situation some what for the rest of the series
 Tho tall tactician now must cali upon WalberG. Rommel and either quinn Or some lesser light in the remaining games, with the chances favorihe Walbers and Rommel for duty today. Higgins looks to Pip Bras. Heimach and Wells, with the flrst two presumably on deck for this afternoon and Wells in reserv. Tor the single fray tomorrow.
 The crowd of G6.145 paid custom ers surpassed every known record TOT weekday same. opening bar red but world series included. An other capacity gathering is in pros pect today and undoubtedly a thirG will appear tomorrow.
