Ruth's 55th Homer Shatters Own World's Record?Giants Land Eighth Straight Victory Yanks Capture Two in Row And Hold Lead 2=8,000 Fans Swarm Polo Grounds as Browns Meet Double Defeat, 10-6,13-5 By Charles A. Taylor Twenty-eight thousand fans . went into hysterics yesterday afternoon at Hie Polo Grounds, while Babe Ruth, the Swattingest Swatter of Swatdom, ?lanced around the bases with his rec? ord breaking home run labeled "Fifty five" It was in the first game of a double bill with the St. I.oUis Browns when the mighty smash came, and even the fact that the Yanks by scoring a. twin victory managed to cling to the lead in tho pennant race faded into insig? nificance beside the personal triumph of George Herman Ruth. The ball Babe hit traveled into the upper tier of the right field stand. The .scores of the two games were 10 to 6 and 13 to 5, the Yanks shaking off their batting lethargy to the extent of fourteen safe? ties in each gamo. The wonderful Babe was not the only home run driver. Bob Meusel delivered another most timely circuit crash in the.opening encounter, as did Elmer Miller, and Wally Pip joined the pro? cession with a drjve into the right field bleachers in the second conflict. For the Browns Kenneth Williams col? lected his twenty-second homer in the initial chapter and his twenty-third in the closing battle. Baj'ne Gets Pommeling The first game saw tinder-handed Carl Mays and Lefty Bayne start out as the opposing pitchors. Mays was not at his best, but he lasted until the end. Bayne was an easy mark and was withdrawn from the turmoil in the seventh. It was?off one of Bayne's left-handed shoots that G. Herman Rath made baseball history. It looked rather dubious for the aspiring Yanks in the third inning of * he opener, when the Browns clouted "?lays for four hits, which with a base on balls netted the invaders four runs. But the Hugmen came back with a vengeance in their half of the stanza and wiped out the "big four" with four of their own. Schang, Mays and Millrr singled in a row, but Peekinpaugh w.ts called out on strikes and Ruth popped to Gerber. Then came Meusel's terrific smash, which cleared the left field fence and tied up the game. ' A veritable shower cf straw lids fell upon Henry Fabian's greensward as a salute to Lanky Bob. The Browns took a one-run lead in the fourth through nn infield singlo by Jacobson and a double by Me Manus, but the Yanks got busy with their bats apain in the fifth and wiped out the visitors' advantage, a double by Miller and the record-smashing homer of Babe the Ruthless doing.the job. Tho Frowns again tied the count in the sixth, when Williams hit his first homer of the afternoon. The Yanks settled everything in the reventh, when another bunch of four runs was plucked. Miller hit his homer, his fourth safety of the game, and Peck and Ruth walked. Meusel beat a bunt, and when Bayne threw wildly, both Peck and Ruth scored. Pipp singled, tallying Meusel. Kolp replaced Bayne as the St. Louis pitcher and checked the Y?inks, but the game v>as "in." Piercy Fails to Last Bill Piercy and Van Gilder were in? troduced as the moundsmen for the second controversy, but neither proved up to the mark and Manager Hug called upon Hoyt and Rogers in turn to share the pitching burden. "Van Gilder was succeeded by Palmero, Burwell and Henry. Two innings, the first and the third, were all sufficient to insure a second ankee victory. In the first Miller walked and tallied on Ruth's pro ? igious triple, which bounded against the center field fence. Meusel and 'i'ipp followed with singles and Wand doubled for a total of four markers. Ruth opened the third by walking and went to second on Meusel's single ro left. Pipp doubled to the left field fence, scoring Ruth and putting Meusel n third. Ward'.?, sacrifice fly to left : .Hied Meusel and sent Pipp to third. McNally singled through Ellerbe and Pipp, crossed thf plate. Schang tripled to left, scoring McNally. Palmero now r ?placed Van Gilder. Piercy walked ad Miller doubled to left, Schang viilying. Peck lined to Williams, and Ruth, up or the second time, strolled, filling the ses, Burv.ell here succeeded Pal lero as the Brown flinger, and Meusel ? reed Ruth for the third out. The biggest inning for the Mound r'ty nine .was the thiroy when an error by Piercy and singles by Sisler and Villiams resulted in two runs. The Lirowns picked up other stray fnns to the number of three, but the Yanks .'ere so far out in front that noboify paid any attention to them. Babe Ruth hurt his knee in the sev- : ??.?nth inning while running from second to third, and was replaced by Fewster. but tho injury is not regarded as, seri? ous.

The Narrow Squeak Last night I -dreamed that J teas pitching Against the Yankee team. And two were on and two were out In this soul-gripping dream. And ivhen I looked around again I almost hit the mat". For a fellow named George Herman Ruth Was strolling up to bat. And then I thought?"I'll walk this boob And so clamp on the lid." And then I looked around and saw What I had went and did. For- all I had to handle now Was Meusel in his prime. lhit just before I choked to death I woke up just in time. Hornsby and Heilman Hornsby, the Cardinal premier, has outclassed his league so far at ha* that no one else is in sight. He has opened one of the greatest gaps in nil batting history, a record-breaking lead. Heilman, of Detroit, who has kept even pace "with Hornsby, has come upon rougher competition. He has had Cobb on his heels for over six weeks, with Ruth and Sisler close enough to take quick advantage of any plump; Hornsby can drop ten stories and meet no one coming up. Heilman can afford no such luxurious descent. He was passed by Cobb in the last fortnight and needed five hits in a single game to regain part of his old margin. Run Makers As a runmaker there wil) be only one name on the chart. Ruth is after another record here. Hornsby and Heilman have made approximately thirty more hits than fruth has made. Yet the "Babe" is forty runs beyond either, more than -Qorty runs ahead of Heilman. To? crack "Ty" Cobb's long standing record two successive years is one of the top achievements in the slugger's career. Things That Happen On in two and down in three, Seldom happens unto me. But on in four and down in eight, That, sir, is my normal fate. A drive, a brassie. an approach, 'A lie that's dead against the cup, , . ' These are shots I always get? ? . ' Jiist before they wake me up, W. H. P. Ail-Time Stuff "What's the matter with this line-up for an All-Time All-Star team?" ? writes a fan. "Here goers?Cobb, right field; Speaker, center field; Ruth,' left field; Sisler, first base; Collins, second base; Bancroft, shortstop;' Hornsby, third base; Schalk, catcher. Can you beat it?" , Only in one or two spots. Hans Wagner could never be dropped from any All-Star cluster. In the main the present era has offered greater talent than anything the past has known?for Cobb, Speaker, Ruth, -Sisler, Collins and Hornsby have never been topped by any individual stars. "Why is it," asks a reader, "that after a champion reaches the top he seems.to go down lull soon after?" Few can remain in any one given location'of form. And after one has reached the top there is only one direction left forythe next step. And this direction isn't up hill.

Old Teammates; Barnes j Effective at Critical Stages | By R. J. Kelly CINCINNATI, Sept. 15.-Rube Mar- ; qtiard, veteran of many a big league campaign, felt the fury of the pennant- j mad Giants in the third and final game j of tho series with the Reds this after- : noon, and the New Yorkers gained ' their eighth consecutive triumph by a ! score of 9 to 6. The victory, combined with the de- ; feat of the Pirates at the hands of the j .battling Braves, increased the lead of the Giants in the flag race to two and a half games, and they left for Pitts- ! burgh tonight fully confident of I clinching the pennant in their all-im- i portant three-game series with George I Gibson's players, which opens to-mor- i row. Marquard was plastered rather,free- j ly from the start, but in the fifth inn- I ing the Giants cut loose with a bom- I bardment that netted them six runs j and clinched the game. Fred Coumbe, ; Bob Geary and "Hod" Eller also I pitched for the home club during the j course of the afternoon. Jess Barnes, who performed for the j Giants, was also bumped with consider- j able frequency, but he kept the hit3 I fairly well scattered except in the sixth | and seventh innings, in each of which j the home players bunched three blows, i While Barnes was breezing along at an j easy pace his mates slammed the ball I to all corners of the inclosure for a | total of sixteen hits. Bancroft, Frisch and Kelly each connected for three | safeties. Reds First to Score Barnes's failure to pass the hard- ! "hitting Wingo with two men on the ' bases an:l two out in the second in? ning helped the Reds to get off to a one-run lead. After Bressler had rolled to Bancroft Daubert singled to center and Fonseca flied to Meusel. Duncan was hit on the left arm by a pitched ball and Wii.go drove a single to right, i scoring Daubert. Wingo took second ' on Young's vain throw to head off Bressler at third. Marquard ended the inning by rolling to Kelly. The New Yorkers came right back in the third and went their opponents one run better. With one out, Ban? croft got two bases when Fon?eca dropped his short fly to left field after a hard run. Frisch, drove a long fly to right, and when Bressler muffed the ball Bancroft tallied and Frisch sprinted to second. The Fordham Flush took third on Young's grounder to Bohne and completed the circuit on Kelly's single over second. Meusel flied to Fonseca. Barnes was jolted for two safeties in the home half of the third, and the Reds tied the score. Bohne singled to j loft. Kopf slammed one off Barnes's glove, but Bancroft recovered the ball in time to nail the runner at first. Bohne took second on the play and ; came home on Groh's two-bagger along ; the right field foul line. The next two batters went out on infield grounders. Bancroft got a three-bagger to start the eventful fifth when his hit to left took a bad bound and went past Fon- ? seca. Dave rode home on Frisch's single to the same field. Young beat out a bunt to Marquard, putting Frisch i on second. Frisch was caught off the keystone, but after being run up and down the base line he finally reached third and Young got to second with tho help of an error by Daubert. Kelly scored them both with t. single to left. Keep Up Bombardment Meusel poked anothar single to cen? ter and Rawlings moved the two run? ners along with a bunt to Groh. Snyder scored Kelly and Meusel with a tingle to left. Barnes sacrificed and Bums singled to center, scoring Snyder. Ban? croft singled to center, and Frisch finally ended the bombardment by pop? ping to Bohne. The Giants added another run, with Coombs on the mound, in the sixth. This was scored on Kelly's triple to right and a wild pitch. Barnes then eased up, and the Reds scored two runs in the sixth on singles, by Daubert, Fonseca and Duncan and an error by Bancroft. With Wingo on third, Barnes fanned Bohne. The home players connected for a few more hits in the seventh and scored two more runs. George Burns was called out on i strikes on his first two trips to the .plate. Frisch was robbed of a two-bagger by the official scorer, who charged Bressler with an error in the third inning when the Reds' rightfielder dropped Fordham Frank's terrific driv* after a long sprint. Players Near to Blows Sam Bohne, the Reds' second base? man, and Heinie Groh almost came to blows in the fifth inning, when the lat? ter, after fielding Rawlings's bunt, threw the ball like a rifle shot to the fermer, who was covering first base. The fans applauded Bohne vigorously when the Reds returned to their bench, but Groh was given quite a razzing. "Southpaw" Artie Nehf and the vet? eran "Babe" Adams will probably be the opposing pitchers to-morrow in the first game of the series that is likely to ctccide the National League pennant for this season. The Pirates will have to make a clean sweep of the series in order to regain the league lead. The score: NEW YORK (X. L.) I CINCXXATr IX.

Smith's Home Run Gives Cardina? s Win Over Dodgers Drive Follows Lavan's Sin? gle and Beats Grimes in Pitching Duel ; Score, 2-1 j ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15.?-The Cardinals nosed out a victory over Brooklyn to? day by 2 to 1 in their last game of the season. The victory gave two of three j of the series to the local team, and ? gavo them fourteen of twenty-two j games they have played with the Dodg- j era this year, Burleigh Grimes pitched great bal?? for tho visitors, but Jess Haines ? pitched still better for the Cardinals, j Grimes allowed six hits, and both runs j were earned off him. Haines allowed* j the Dodgers four hits, and if Johnny j Lavan had not made a throw into the j Brooklyn dugout Uncle Robbie's men I would have been blanked. Four of the six hits off Grimes came < in the third inning, but only two of i them figured in the scoring. Lavan j opened with a singlo to Chuck Ward. ] demons flied to Myers and Haines I fanned. Jack Smith spilled the beans j for Grimes with a home run into the ? right field stand, scoring Lavan ahead of him and accounting for all of the i St. Louis runs. Founder and Stock I followed Smith with outfield singles, ! but were left when Hornsby fouled Miller. , In tho seventh the Dodgers made two hits and put over their run. John? ston singled to Lavan and took second on the infielder's wild throw to first. Johnston halted at third on Griffith's single to left, and scored on Wheat's sacrifice fly to McHenry.
