Babe took bis fullswing, which has any swing beaten since the famous Casey fanned. But big Babe didn’t fan. He hit the ball away up and away out. All the Sox players stood in their tracks transfixed with the splendor of it. It sailed upand out. with the players and fans cranning their necks as if watching an aeroplane until it fell out over the back of the bleachers upon the Held. If it had been a drive instead of Just a long fly it might have killed several people in a passing Wentworth avenue car a quarter of a mile or so to the east.Some six or seven years ago John Beall, who was striving for a place as a White Sox outfielder, hit a home run over that bleacher. However, his was a line drive and down close to the right foul line and barely got over. No one since that time has swatted a bail over, though many have hit one into seats. Ruth’s homer was even a toward right centre, away over in the middle of the bleachers, and it wasn ta drive.music.

If the gates had been open he might have run around and got around it And it cleared the back wall so far that the boys out there were running to the top to see just where it wouldfall before the ball was out there.But what we started to say was that the Sox won a desperate battle in spite of this tremendous display of batting prowess by Mr. Ruth. They had an awful time winning, but they did with a squeeze play in the ninth, when the score was tied, the bases filled and only one man out. Hap Felsch was on third and Ray Schalk at bat. and Ray pushed the bali down third base way as Hap was coming in, Oscar Vitt ran in, ■cooped the ball, saw that Hap was home, so he put the bait in his pocket and raced for the shower bath.Two-!*ac hit—McInpJs.
