There is no game scheduled for to- day, and as the races are now being run at Saratoga, the chances are that the Yanks will be obliged to rest up for the coming series with the Cleveland Indians, which begins at the Polo Grounds to-morrow. The history of the rise of the Yankees to thetr present position is the history of their final game with the White Sox, a game which will go down to posterity as one of the great- est and most dramatic ever recorded. It ts the. histcey of a game which hung In the’ balance throughout tlie nine innings, and which found the Yankees in terrible predicaments, If you want to take it that way, on more than one occasion, A crowd: of £8,000 of the best citi- zonry New York and Syracuse had to offer were in the stands when Carl It is} Mays began to shoot his submarine headed by John D.

In the pinches, except for the ninth Inning, he wan superb. Ruth tnitlated Faber tn the first inning by lacing out his home run No. 26 to the right field stands, Dugan was on base and the two rina played a considerable part in the final result After the third the game resolved it- self into a pitchers’ duel between Hoyt and Faber, with Faber getting a Uttie the best of it. In the fifth Pipp made a three-bagger and scored on single. The score then und the crowd began to look appre- henstve. Faber struck out three in a row in the eighth, and the only thing that consoled the fans was the fact that the White Sox were also unable to score, The Sox were retired easily in the ninth. The crowd began to look for conyentent exits, All were on their own feet or some one else's, but all remained in their places. The Babe had a crack at the ball and they \ were going to walt till he had taken it Whitey Witt, the first man up, out- witted the White Sox infield and beat out a puny roller to short, and Joe Dugan refused to bite at Faber's sharp outcurves and drew a base on balls The great moment had come. Two men were on and Babe Ruth, the great Babe, at hat. The first two offerings of Faber were wide and it began to look if he was going to pass him. But Faber was determined. He was go- ing to pitch to Ruth, win or los He pitched to Ruth and he lost, The Babe lifted the first good one into the right fleld Dleuchers for his second home run of the game and his twenty- sixth of the seeson, sending Witt and Dugan tn ahead of him.
