His eleventh and twelfth home runs converted a 2 to 3 Yankee deficit into an 8 to 3 advantage at the fin- ish, and the champions held on sev- en and one-half games behind the Athletics, just where they wera be- fore hostilities were begun. The inimitable Mr. Ruth had done rothing much all afternoon when the seventh inning of the second same rolled around with the Yan- kees in the hole. True he had driven in & second unearned run off Earn- shaw with a aingle in the fifth and made the game close, but no one ‘was prepared for his magnificent gesture into the right field bleach- ers when Earnshaw went to the showers after placing two Yankees on the bags with none out in the seventh. Young Shores marched to the box to make the best of a bad situation, but committed the mistake of giving the Babe a good one after getting two srikes on the premier slugger. The ball salled gracefully in among the steerage passengers in thc Judge, crowded right field bleachers, and | iic the Yankees were ahead. Just to prove there was no mistake about it, the Babe repeatcd the act in the cighth. again with two mates aboard. Waite Hoyt dazzled 66,145 Yan- Ree clients with his finegse in th nightcap, but fos all of this, the Athletics chiseled three runs from his delivery in the first three in nings and "seemed headed for a clean sweep and a lead of nine and one-half games. Then in the fifth, Max Bishop, pivet man on a possible double play, dropped Joe Boley's assist, and the champtons helped themselves to two unearned runs. This was the wunly| Athletic errér of the afternoon, and In one of the best played games of the present season, the Bridgeport State Trade school baseball team fell before the onslaught of the New Grove §.| Britain Traders at Walnut Hill park yesterday afternoon. The final score was 8 to 6. DeCorleto, the New Britain moundsman. had excellent support in | the field and although he struck out only three men, he was able to win. Dixon of Bridgeport fanned nine and Colwell two but their support was more ragged. New Britain gathered in 11 hits to seven for the Park City | crew. In the sixth inning, Niedzinaki of Bridgeport hit a hard drive to Gelormino, local left flelder, and he let it get by him. This scored two runs and the batter was credited with a home run. To even this up, C. Carlson, New Britain fight fielder, with the sacks empty, belted the pill way past the center flelder for the circuit. This with Carlson's fourth home run of the season, his first season with the Traders. Other circuit drives have been made by Kozlowski, Retano and Cilizza, making a total of seven for the team this year. The next and possibly the final game of the 1929 season will be played next Wednesday afternoon when the locals cross bats with Meriden Trade. Arrangements, how- ever, are being made to play a game with Middletown Trade either here or in th Asylum City next Friday and if they are completed, the game will close the season for the local team.

Losing g By JAY VESSELS (Associated Press Sports Writer) New York, June 22 (® — Talk around New York this time last year concerned the prospects for another world series for the price of a nickel subway fare. Until this year that was the daily line of conversation in most of the scasons since 1921. Now there is genuine concern as to whether Father Knickerbocker will have any share ®hatevar in the 1929 classic. The reason for the difference in the local outlook is the reversal ir form of the two stars of the Giants and Yankee pitching staffs. This time last year Herb Pen- nock was piling up victory after victory for the Yankees and when he was forced out of compétition | in the late summer the Hugmen. with his help, had enough of a lead to eliminate all but the Ath- letics, the club which they person- ally squelched. Even more effective at this stage was Larry Benton, who virtually ngle-handed kept the Giants up in the race until his teammates struck their stride. He had pitched 100 2-3 innings without reliet to top all senior circuit hurlers. In late June this year, at the time he had won seven and lost three games in 1928, Pennock had won one and lost three and had been knocked out of the box five times. On the same date that in 1928 he had won nine and lost two, Benton this year had won five and lost seven. - He had pitched two full| games and had been knocked out six times. Pennock’s record for the season was 17 won, six lost; Benton's was 25 won and nine lost. Both clubs still have time to get right up into the race in keeping with their record of having brought home six world's series, three of them all-Gotham series, since 1921. But unless Larry and Herb start shooting over those hooks and shoots in 1928 form, the betting commisaioners who are strong on favoring the improbable. will let you name your own odds.

AFTER EXTRA BASES Art Shires Will Seek Distance From | Now On In His Hitting With the White Sox. Chicago, June 22 (A)—Art Shires, who has had plenty of ups and downs since joining the White Box, has discovered a method of getting more ups. He is going to get more extra base hits, “No use of great hitter like m: getting himself a flock of skimpy singles,” Shires informed the worid over radio. “You mnever get your name in the headlines with singles. It's distance the public wants. From now on I'm aiming for the next county. I'm going out after thos» home runs.” “Come out and razz me,” he urg- ed his audience. “You'll g0 away lcheering me when T slam them against those bleachers. T sure can hit that ball and I'm not so bad around first base either.” Since Shires returned to Manager “Lena” Blackburne's good graces, he has been hitting brilliantly, RESUMES TRAINING Paolino Uzcudun Gets Back to Work After Day of Rest—Schmeling Near Top Form. Hoosick Falls, June 22.—(UP)— Paolino Uzcudun resumed training today for his bout with Max Schemeling at New York next Thurs- day. after a day spent at Williams college vesterday. The Spaniard is not expocted to work hard as he is near the edge and his trainers are fearful of his going stale. Arrangements were completed for Pzolino to fly from his training camp here to New York for the | fight. He will make the trip in a {1and plane instead of going to Al- bany and boarding the pontoon equipped New York-Albany plane there. b o lesasrcuccoy would have been permitted to try his own conclusions with Ruth in the seventh. The result of any such hypothetical meeting, of course, witl r be known. | Ruth's single and two homers drove home seven of the eight Yan- kee runs, not a record but still no lght feat to be performed by just anybody on any old afternoon. The first game was a case of too much Grove and not enough Pen- nock. It was Groves eleventh vic- thry against a single defeat after ylolding a run in the first inning, Connle Mack's great left hander moved through the Yankee batting order with the unfaitering precision | of a mowing machine.
