After two days Of 1885 baseball,
in fact, it begins to seem that If
there's any getting-along without
to be done, Ruth will do it.
On opening day in Boston, he
stole the show with a home run,
a single and a great gloved hand
catch. Yesterday, the Braves
didn't play; this left the old mans
shadow free to Turk in the corners
Of the stadium throughout a dank
and deSultory afternoon, making
q mockery Of the efforts of his ex-
team to win a ball game.
Frankly, they didn't, although
they went all the way to the tenth
inning before losing to the Boston
Red Sox. 4 to 3, for the second
straight day. That may have been
bad enough. The setting was
worse.
Only 1000 Present
In the first place, there were
only 1000 present, q pitiful few
in park like that. In the second
place, Gehrig, the repaint job on
last years Ruth model, threw
wild for the second time in two
days to lose the ball game. And
in the last place, that's where the
Yankees are this morning, with
no victories and two defeats.
They finally scored two runs in
the seventh, after sixteen Scoreless

and Ruffing. But the latter blew
