It was the Athletic's third straight defeat In this super-cruciai series.' The kill was put off until the eighth inning. The Yankees then tied the scored with none out, and George Herman" Ruth waddling to the plate, found his home-run sal, Lou Gehrig, on sec ond base. Connie 'Mack and Bob Grove elected to fight it out with the great bambino rather than frank him to first base, and the battle began. The Babe, seising his chance, strove to cross the opposition by bunting the first one,but it was foul on the third base line by a shade. Mr. Ruth next took a called ball, and then it, happened. Yes, into his own ight-field bleachers it rode for, home run number 49, with all the earmarks of a pennant fastened upon it. More than 40,000 strangely par. tisan New York throats bellowed joyously and almost -as many pairs of hands reached for straw1 hats with which to shower a welcoma upon the triumphal' procession of Lou and the Babe. , The seventh batter sa Grore get a rigorous ffeeIV end the Yankees, one run. Every batter , In the inning hit the ball on the , nose Bare only Johnson, ; whom 'Miller Huggins wisely, as it proved, permitted to bat for him. self with two out and a potential run waiting upon third base. Meusel blazed a eingleTthrough Boley's legs, but Mr. Bolenski next headed Lazzeri's hard smash and forced the lanky one at second. Gazella pounded, a double- to-center, sending lazier! to ' third whence he scored as Boley fielded Paschal's hard drive and threw him out. Johnson ended it with a pop to Bishop. - .. - The Yankee eighth was' opened by a pass to Coombs, always a bad sign for any pitcher. The colonel reached second on Koenig's Infield single and raced on to third when Dykes followed with a wild throw past Foxx. Grore then deftly in serted a wild pitch; ' scoring Coombs and sending Koenlg to second. !s Gehrig followed' with a single, and raced madly to second as Simmons threw to Cochrane in a vain bid to cut off the tieing run. Now that the Yankees hare been threatened. New Yorjc seems to want them to win. The bent form of Connie Mack, the old mas ter, stood on the steps of the Ath letic dug-out with a worried -wrinkle upon hie brow as he peered out at the bedlam and the triumph of the enemy. He was visibly shaken by the blast which shat tered his dreams of baseball em. pire. He then steadied himself and deployed his troops for a final assault upon young Henry John son, arch-nemesis of the 1928 Mackmen. . , The ninth inning saw Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins andWally French stride up in turn, first line re serves of the beaten Athletics. The first two of these names, as names alone, would hare been enough to frighten the average young pitch, er out of the box as recently as two years ago, but sot Johnson today. ..'. i Game Put On Ice - The young Florid ian got Ty on a hoist to Koenig, Eddie on a foul fly to the same gentleman of the defense and French on a weak pop to Meusel. The Yankees had won, and led the worried Mack men by two and one-half games. AH that remains is that fourth game of this now not-so-crucial engagement tomorrow and the final sally through the west fif teen games for the Yanks in the Occident and thirteen , for the Macks.

COACH KEENE "That's fine." said Coach Spec" Keene of Willamette uni versity when he returned Tuesday night from a trip to Portland to find that a soaking rain had fall en on Sweetland field and put it in perfect condition to run the roller over it for the last -time. The Beacat athletic director had, in fact, been ju tiling over the problem of wetting down the field before rolling it, and now will be saved the trouble. If the rain contniues. It will be a serious matter for the Willam ette squad doubly so for the rea son that those first days of prac tice are so important and bo few. If the rainfall is so heavy that the gridiron is muddy Saturday, and early next week., it will hamper the Bearcats in preparing for the University of Washington game which comes at the end of the sceond full week of practice. Schedule Backward 'Willamette's schedule is Just backward to what an ideal sched ule should be. The two hardest games, with Washington and Ore gon, come first and the contest! with the teams more nearly Wil lamette's . equals are toward the end.

A little work remains to be done on the gridiron before every thing is ready for the initial prac tice Saturday; sawdust has not been spread over part of the field and it must be rolled, but this will be done hy Friday night.
