Homers by Ruth and Bodie Win for Yankees Ov^r Cardinals?Giants Defeat San Antonio
Babe's Clout Clears House
Beyond Right Field Fence
Louisiana Towii Declares Half Holiday in Honor of
Bambino's First Visit, and Capacity Croyd
Sees the Big League INines in a Fast Contest
By R. J. Kelly
LAKE CHARLES, La., March 16.-? The Yankees emerged triumphant.
from their first test of the training season against major league opposi
tion by defeating Branch Rickey's Cardinala in an old-fashioned slugging
contest here this afternoon by a score of 14 to 9. The New Yorkers took
ihe lead in the second inning by chasing two runs across, and held the
upper hand throughout the game, although the St. Louis plavers staged a
rally in the seventh and eighth inni
The attraction of seeing Rogers
Hornsby and,' Babe" Ruth on the same
rield brought out a crowd that filled
every nook and corner of the park, ox
Vfpt the playing rield itself. Enthusi
iratc rooters were perciied on trees,
telegraph poles, housetops and every
available point of vantage. ? To-day was
designated as " 'Babe' Kuth Day." and
the citizens of this town declared a
holiday in honor of the first visit of
the home run king to Lake Charles.
Banks, business houses and stores
were cloned ut noon, and most of the
populace immediately started for the
bail park. The ir.closure was filled to
capacty almost an hour before game
time and many were turned away.
The fans were rooting hard for the
Cardinals to win, but at the same time
they wanted to see Ruth drive one out
of the lot. The Babe did his level be*t
to please the populace ar.d he succeed
ed when he came to bat in the fourth
inning. It was his third trip to the
plate.
Previously he had stfuck out, nnd
then was given a base on balls, but
this time he was not to be denied,
Pertica was on tho niouml and Bobbv
Roth, who preeeded Ruth, had poked
out a two-bagger to left iield. Pertica
served up three balls in succession and
the crowd began to howl.
Pertica acceded to the demands of
the now ing mob and shot two across
he plate, both of. which the Babe
missed after taking terrific swings at
'"he ba!i. The ne>:i one, however, waa
1 Ruth's Hking, and he met it square
'? Tl ? ;iet not only sailed over the
igl Iield fence, but it cleared a two
story house situated across the street
rora the field. For most of the citi?
zens it was the "thrill that ecmea once
in a lifetime," an.i they cheered the
iiorrie-run king to the echo.
Ruth came up again in the sixth in?
ning r.nd was called out on strikes. In
the eighth he went out on a grounder
to second base.
The hero of the afternoon, however,
?V33 not Babe Ruth, nor was it Roger
Hornsby, champicn batstnan of the Na?
tional League. But he was George
roporcer, a New York youngster, wh )
played second base for the Cardinals.
This rookie. who was discovered on the
-and lots of Xewark, ar.d who has
?ever had any previotis experience.
ven with a minor league team, played
a truly great game. Ineidentallv. i
loporcer is r.he only player in the
najor league, with the exception of
i.ee Meadows, who wears spectaclcs
while on the field.
He shiinmed out three singles and a
r;ome run in live times at bat, and
handled hirr.self like a veteran in the
iield. Manager Rickey declares that he
is one of the best young players he has
ever seen in action.
Piercy Hurls Five Innings
Bill Piercy pitched the first five in?
nings for the Yankees and during that
ttme he gave a rather creditable cxhi
bition. He held his opponents score
less nn':; tl fifth, when a single by
Mueller and a home run bj Ja
Fournier gave the Cardinals two runs.
I erguson, who succeeded Piercy, was
plastered with great veheTnenee in the
seventh and eighth innings. He yield
? d seven hits, including three doubles
and a home run, and, com';ined with
Fewster's error and a sacritice fly, they
netted the St. Louis pteyers seven runs.
The Yankees had previously slammed
the offerings of the National League
qunrtet of pitchers?Sherdel, Pertica,
Walker and Rivire to the various cor
ners of the inclosure. During the
bombardmont Bodie drove out a home
run and a . ouble, Meusel got a three
bagger, Roth, a single and a double,
and Fred Hoffmann treated himself to
a pair of singles.
When Babe Ruth came to bat in the
irst inning he was presented with a
doral bat by a delegation from the
lijcal couneil, Knights of Columbus.
The gift proved to be a jinx, however,
as the Bambino was promptly fanned
by Southpaw Sherdel.
Lew McCarty, formerly oftheGiants,
assumed the .catching burden for the
Gardinals in the slxth inning He re
mained beliind the bat for only two
nningr,, but during that time was
< redited with six putouts.
Rogers Hornsby got only one hit in
three times at bat. That was a single
; ast Mitchell in the eighth inning. He
came up in the third with the bases
; !led and only one out, but poked a
!ine drive right at Mitchell, who con
erted it into a double play.

To Second Nine
Manager Gives No Explana

Be Result of "Zim" AlTaii
By Charles A. Taylor
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 16.?Th<
Giants defeated tho San Antonio Bcar.<
this afternoon for the fifth successive
time, tho scoro being 6 to 3. The gnm<
was played for tho benefit of tl\e as
sociated charities of the city and at
tracted the largest crowd of tho series.
I The authorities at the various military
posts in the vicinity of tho city de?
clared a half holiday and two-thirds of
tho spectators woro wearcrs of the
khaki. A goodly sprinkling of the faii
sex, which had busied itself with sell
ing tickets for the game, also watched
the procecdings on the diamond.
Ed Brown, who won tho ncarts of
the San Antonio fans last season by
his heavy hitting, and Ross Young, who
makes his home here, were welcomed
most eiVusively by the populace each
time they went to the bat. Brown
showVd his appreciation by driving the
ball over the fence for a home run on
his first trip to the plate.
Young v.is n disanpointment, making
nary a hit all afternoon, and this. de
spite the fact that his ndmirors had
chipped in to buy Ross a pretty floral
horseshoe. It, also must be "relatcd
that Young committed a grievous iield
ing error.
The Giants asstimed a three-run lend
in the second inning, two of the tallies
resulting from home rinis, Brown's, al?
ready rei'ered to, and Pat Shoa's. The
sorrel-topp.-a pitcher from Hnl-oke was
not expected to do much with the bat
but hardly had the applause followinjr
Brown's mighty smash died awny when
Pat, too, lifted the ball out of the lot.
McGraw Ise.s Three Pitchers
The Bears.picked up their iirst run
!n the third after two men were out.
no !es? a persona^e than Fovdhnm
Frank Frisch being responsible. ln tl;-1
fourth session the home team ticd the
score and the soldiers' band blared
forth triumphantly. But the lead of the
Bears was short-lived, ns the Giants
came through with, one run in the sixth
and two more in the seventh.
McGraw used three pitchers?Shea,
Sallee and Perritt. Shoa's showing was
not impressivc. Ho seemed to lack con?
trol, und this meant that when he did
put the ball over it was usually driven
back at him rather hard. Shea nllowed
six hits, and all of the San Antonio
runs were scored during his four-in
ning stay. Sallee was at his best, re
tiring his opponer.ts in one, two, three
fashicn in each of the three innings
iie worked. Perritt finished the game
and allowed two hits.
Ed Brown made two si-.itrles in addi
tion to his home run, and also stole a
base. If this fellow doesn't co up to
the big leagues it will be due to one
wcakr.ess alone?a poor throwinc arm.
iie is trying in everyAvay to overcome
tl is defect.
There is weeping nnd wailing and
gnashing of teeth in the camp of the
Giants. The chief mourners are Rube
Benton, veteran southpaw pitcher; Jess
Winters, richt-harsded pitcher, and
Walter Henline, the cotehor McGraw
secured from the Indianapolis club.
The rrriof and anguish of these three
are due to the fact thatt.hey are slated
to accompany bhe second team north.
rather than the iirst.
Benton on Second Team
The relegation of Benton to the yan
'ombination may have more sig
nificance than that of Henline and
Winters. for it is possible that Mc?
Graw is not certain just what uction
Judge Landis may take regarding
Rube's connection with the "Zimmer
man affair." If Landis should take the
stand that no matter how innocent
Benton may be it is for the. best in
terests of the came that he retire, then
the Giants' manager will have pre?
pared himself for the emercency by
giving a recruit pitcher a chance to
work under his personal direction.
As for Henline, although he regards
his shift as a sign that he has not
made good, it can be said thai McGraw
has often in the past. sent promising
youngsters where th^y could get the
opportunity to play daily. With Snyder
and Smith as his first strinc catchers
Henline would have little opportunity
to work if he. joined the regulars.
Winters is the last. perRon who
should comnlain, for McGraw has given
him every chance in the world to es
tablish his worth as a pitcher.
The two teams as announced by the
Giants' manager follow:
Regulars- Burns, left field; Ban
croft, shortstop; Frisch, third base;
Young, right field; Keily, iirst base;
Ed Brown or Curtis Walker, cen
ter field; Rapp, third base; Sny
<l_'-r, Smith and Gaston, catchers;
Toney, Jess Barnes, Douglas, Ryan,
Nehf, Shea, Sallee and Grody, pitch?
ers: Gross, utility infielder.
Yannigans?Monroe, second base;
Spencer, left. field; King, center field;
Grimes, iirst base; Kane, third base;
Burkett, shortstop; Bancroft, right
field; Henlien and Gon;:ales, catchers;
