BaABY RUTH'S TIMELY WALLOP
TRIMS CHICAGO IN FOURTH
Mighty Slugger of Red Sox Laces Out Three
Base Drive That Beats Cubs, 3 to 2.
Bush Finishes Game.
By W. S. FARNSWORTH.
Boston, ?ept. J ->The Tarsan of t-he Red Sox, Babe Ruth,
punched the American League contenders to a 3-to-2 triumph in the
f-aurth game of the world series at Fenway Park today.
But the mighty attack of the massive southpaw would have been
a negative product ???"??! not Stuify Mclnnis, the fighlingest Irishman
that ever lived, made the most specta-ular and smartest play executed
since world scries became a fashion.
The Tarsan's bust was a triple, with two pals aboard the paths, in
the fourth inning?the spasm that has been Boiton's lucky one, npt
only in the present series, but in' numerous title games of the past.
That swat put the Red Sox in a commandipg lead. While the winning
marker came later?in the eighth?this blow was the one decisivo
knock that spelled disaster for the Westerners.
In tb? eighth the |tm Cuba nudee)
* darter-mined Md and evened th?
count, but In the Last half of the
frame the Red Ror forged right back
to the front by scoring the winning
tally.
Then trame the ninth and the play
by Mclnnis that saved the day for
the Cap? Codders. Merkle. first up.
stashed a steaming grounder to the
right of Scott for a single. Zelder
drew transportation and. with two on
aad none down, tho fana were pre- j
paring for th? worst.
Manager Barrow motioned Ruth out I
of the box. Bullet Joe Bush l>eing j
rushed to the rescue. Tarsan started
for the bench, but Barrow ordered
him to left field. Whiteman being or
dered into the dugout Bush sneak"<l
a fast ball over to Wortman for a
called strike. The next one was out
and Brick Owens called it properly.
Then Wortman attempted to sacri
face, but the ball was a trifle outside.
"What's the matter with it??;
yelled Mclnnis who had torn In asi
Bush wound up. ready to take su
bunt and bead off Merkle at third.!
Stuffy wasn't two yards from the J
plate when the ball landed in Wally j
Sehang's mitt.
Mitche! ordered Wortman to try'
once more for a martyr lick, but Mc
Tnni? broke th? play to smithereens.
This time Wortman dropped the ball
In front of the plate over on the
first base foul side. But Stuffy was
right there again. He picked the
ball up in a flash and his throvv
headed Merkle off at third by ten
yard?
That was the play that submarin
ed an attack that most surely would
have at least tied the peaHJm? for
the Cubs. True, the Westerners
still had two men on the path.?,, first
and second being occupied, but it
broke their spirit and the effort of
Pinch-Puncher Barber was a double
play that officially settled the game
in favor of the American leaguers.
Twenty-five thousand fans turned
out to see this, the first ararne of the |
.?aeries in Boston. After a 24 hour rain
the skies, cleare?* and it was an ideal
day. Among the most interested
spectators were sixty wounded sol
diers and sailors who have seen fan -
vieA. overseas. They were the quests
of the Red Cross.
The game started a battle of left
aacders, Ruth against Tyler. Neither
lasted out the nine innings in the
!>ox. While Ruth really was knock??d
from the hillock. Tyler retired in
favor ot a pinch hitter in the eighth.
Tvler deserved to win the game. Dur
ing the seven innings he worked, he
allowed but three hits. And Ruth's
triple might never have been. This
blow brought back sad memories to
New York tails, who. in the famous
play off xuue with the Cubs in 19u?.
?ite?- '*>- ?eymour disregard Matty ?
instruction to play back for Joe
Tinker.
Three time?? Jlatty motioned Sey
mour to play deeper, but Cy refused
vto move a step. Tbevn came Tinker's
,u.t t?4aW-?1le<f over Cys head for
-et?S-lple, a hit that cost McGraws
cen the oportunity to participate in
th?^ world's series.
To4ay. with W'.iiteman on second
and Mclnnis on iirst and two down.
Ruth came up. Tyler was wild with
three fast breaking curves. He
Srooved the next one and a strike
?ras called.
Tyler sized up the situation. First
tie verily planned to pass the Taraan
and take more nourishing chances
on the weak hitting Scott, the trolley
line thrower. Then.he changed his
mind. He took a look around at his
defense. Mann was playing all right
?and so was Paskert.
But Flack was in too close. Taylor
roved him back. Flack did not pay
tttention to the command. Once
tgattt Tyler motioned him but Max
aras obstinate. Then Tayler took up
:he burden of retiring the mighty
.'?alloper. He grooved one. It tuver
-cached th? plate, for Babe reached
^>ut. caught the ball on the end of
*ia bat and sent it on a line to the
-ight field fence.
Flack misjudged the power behind
he drive and tore in a step or two.
Then he realized his mistake, turned
and tore for the bulwarks. But the
tall sailed over his head, smashing
?gainst the boards, bounded back to
-".eck and two runs had dented the
lish and Batte was resting peacefully
>n third by the time Max had re
rurned'the bail to the diamond.
Although Ruth's control was not
he best, for he was In the hole on !
learly every batter that faced him.
inly three Cuba got as far as second j
m him, and none further, up to the ?
tiethth frame.
Then his wlldness provavi costly. It
??ved the way to two Cub tuns, a
?nuit that made the pastime all on
he up and up. Kllllfer started tlw
nning by drawing a pass. The
imely-swatting Hendrix batted for
fySer. For some unknown reason the
ro-snj booed him aa he walked to the
. -late. A few hisses were heard from
he press box. but there was reason
?r that. Claude had massaged the
cribes freely In a erap game en rout?
tere from Chicago.
Ruth grooved the first ball aad Hen
.rfk kissed It for a steaming one
?ae* knock to center. This unex
e?-t?d and discourteous a?rt on the
?art of a brother fllnger upset Tar
an and he unbelted a perfectly good
rl'.d pitch with Flack up. The ball
it in front of the plate and careened
ff San Agnew's projector down the '
hlrd-base ime to Thomas. Of course |
;u:tfer went to third and Hendrix to
he keystone.
With the court two and one Flack I
tabbed a hot grounder down the flrst

base rath. Mclnnis was playing in
and he waited for Flack to run Into
a death, tat the same time holding
t'.ie runners on their respetrtive bags.
McC.tbe was hustled out to rescue
run for Hendrix. Holloeher wa?
thrown out by Shean, but Killifer
cashed and McCabe moved over to
third on the play.
Major Lea Mann took a strike and
then caught one that suited him and
laced it past Scott for a single. Mc
Cabe registered. Paskert ended the
tally with a weak grounder that
Thomas and Mclnnis handled.
Boston's winning run was produced
in the eighth. Our old friend Shuf
flin' Phil Douglas was decorating the
mound with his presence at the time.
The slow-moving Southerner had
taken up where Tyler left off when
he retired in favor of Pinch-Puncher
Hendrix. .
Schang, batting for Agnew, singled
over second. He took second on a
passed ball. Hooper dropped a peachy
sacrifice tap in front of the plate,
but Douglas, after picking up the
pill, threw to the stand instead of to
Merkle. Phil claimed after the game
that he had clutched the ball on a
section that Mad been well moistened
fot- a spitter. On this crazy chuck
Schang toddled right across the plate
with the tally that spelled victory
for the Red Sox.
Besides being responsible for
Ruth's triple and the two tallies that
went with it. Flack jammed up two
Cub attacks that might have turned
out profitably.
In the first inning he greeted Ruth
with a single, only to be pi ked off
first when Agnew made a snap chuck
to Mclnnis. Then to show the public
that there was no trick about It. he
allowed Ruth to kill him oft' second
with a peg to Scott in tho third.
We don't believe we are out of line
when we say that Flack was the best
player Boston had.
The fifth pastime of the series will
be staged? tomorrow afternoon, with
Sam Jones and Hendrix scheduled to
do the flinging.
We have ordered our transportation
home on a train that pulls out around
11 o'clock tomorrow night.
Hendrix may spill the beans for us,
but the Red Sox, with three victories
and only one defeat, appear to be as
sure a bet as was Johren against the
plater WhlpperWIIl in last Saturday's
"Lawrence Realization.
