Babe Ruth made some great plays at first base. A classic being the stop of a hard-hit ball off Tobin in the sixth inning. He knocked it down with one hand and smothered it before tossing it to Leonard, covering first for an out. He dug them out of the dirt
and plucked them from the ozone and had the Browns outfield guardians flat-footed from running after his long blasts. His first hit was a double to the right-field corner. The St. Louis outfielders played him deep and his next two hits he dropped in front of them.
It was a game of many features and among the headliners was Wally Gerber who made many fine plays. His best occurred in the sixth when he dove sideways, while racing toward second and plucked Otis Strunk's drive, which was traveling toward center. He got the ball
with his gloved hand less than a foot from the ground and held it, though he fell.
Ruth's double over Hendryx a sacrifice by Stuffy McInnis and George Whiteman's infield blow gave the Sox one in the second, and in the seventh, singles by Schang and Harry Hooper and an infield out, supplied their other tally.
Dutch Leonard worked out of a pair of jams in the first and second, having men on third and second with one out in the first and escaping. Then having a man on third with one out in the following inning, the plan to squeeze in Joe Gedeon failed as the bunt was popped up
to Leonard.
Les Nunamaker's single gave the Browns a run to tie the score in the seventh as Wally Schang messed up the fine throw to the plate by Hooper to catch Tim Hendryx.
In the eighth, Jim Tobin's single, Jimmy Austin scratch hit down the first base line and George Sisler's sacrifice, put the Browns in position to score. Dave Shean made a great stop of a slam from pinch-hitter Pete Johns and had Tobin at the plate, but Schang
dropped the ball. A sacrifice fly tallied Austin and Gedeon's single scored pinch runner Ernie Johnson, to get the Browns three runs and a 4-2 win.
