WEST IN ELEVENTH
WITH HOME RUN

For years to come when the story
CT the East West annual baseball
classic is told, the exploits of one
Mule Suttles, left fielder for the
American Giants Of the Western team
will crown the record and distinguish
the victory Of the westerners over
their Eastern rivals Sunday by a
score Of lis at Comiskey Park.
The story of the game is the story
Of this -jawed, lanky, fielder
and slugger, the heroic player whom
the East tried to tie and tether, but
couldn't.
Before 10000 yelling, colorful fans,
the two teams fought for eleven inn
irgs before Suttles broke the game
up. For eleven innings, the West had
been playing catch up while the
Eastern pitchers did some fancy
ducking to get around the powerful
Mister Suttles.
Slim Jones Knocks Homer
To start the game, the East, on
singles by Stevens and Dihigo, and
aided by errors by Wells and Bell
jumped off to two-run lead. Slim
Jones, crack pitcher for the East,
plugged one in the right field stands
for homer in the fourth and Dihigo
scored after an error by Charleston
in the fifth to set the score up at four
to nothing for the East at the open
ing of the sixth.
The Western batsmen got busy in
their half of the sixth, however, and
scored three runs. Radcliffe hit a
single to drive in Gibson and Suttles
and Charleston scored en- a throwing
error by Dihigo from center field. In
the seventh, the West tied the score
after Bell singled, advanced on a
sacrifice and was brought in by Glib
sons looping single to short right.
Scoreless ball was played for the
next two innings.
In the first half of the tenth TAX
ing advantage of the shakiness of
Griffen, pitching for the West, the
East scored four runs, putting them
in the lead eight to four.
Crowd began to Leave Park
When the West came to bat, how
ever, the American Giant sluggers
drove liant from the mound and Di-
hlgo was brought in from center field
to finish the game. The West scored
four runs to tie the score at eight to
eight.
Fasteners blanked in first half of
eleventh.
In the Western half Of the eleventh
Bell was walked by Diligo after one
out. Hughes sacrificed sending Bell to
second. Gibson was up next. He had
scored four hits in five times at bat.
Dlhlgo decided to pass him, bringing
Mule Suttles up with two out, two
or. base and the score tied.
The stage was all dressed up with
trimmings when Suttles came up. He
mad shown his prowess at the bat in
the 1888 game. Eddie Plicoue. doing
the announcing FOR this years game,
had told the crowd that the late John
.. McGraw had said about Suttles and
his smuggling, and had suggested that
the big leagues could profit bv using
his ability.
Furthermore, the Eastern pitchers
had definitely and consciously deferr-
ed to the Mule. His appearance at
bat in the eleventh was his sixth.
Three times the Eastern hurlers had
purposely walked him. Once, he had
struck out, trying to get hold of a
wide one, and once he had sacrificed.
Eastern Pitches
Dihigo, Eastern pitcher, was placed
in a dilemma, when Suttles came to
bat in the eleventh. If he passed SUIT
ties to fill the bases, there was more
dynamite coming up be'lnd him. He
decided to pitch to the slugger and
grooved fast one low over the plate.
Suttles made a scooping slash at
