Cleveland. o., July AIN the face OF tho
silt-edse ball pitched by Wee" Willie Sud-
hoff. Cleveland had scarcely chance 10
win to-day's game with the Browns. and
lest by the score of 2 TO O. 1t was the third
shrt-out game within three days But
luckily for Cleveland it was the Browns
who received the whitewash in the pre-
vltus contests.
Yesterdays game was pretty a con-
test as one would care to see. Pitching was
Of the best, while the fielding was bril-
liant and steady throughout.
1t was unlucky for Cleveland in moro
ways than one. Accidents occurred which
will doubtless deprive the club of the SER
vices of the star twir!er. Bill Bernhard,
for the greater part of the remainder OF the
season. 1t was in the third inning that
the accident took place, F'riel driving the
ball right at the pitcher.
The ball was batted with such force that
Berry had no chance to dodge and received
1t upon the third joint Of the index finger
Of his pitching hand. splintering the bone.
This will cripple the team severely, es-
ec:ally as Carl Moore, who has been prov
ing about as effective as Bernhart, was bad
ly injured in practice. a ball batted by
Hickman striking him on the muscles OF
his right arm. an accident which will keep
him out OF the game for several days. 1t
had been Armour.s intention to use him LIN IN
Sundays game at st. Louis, but joss Will
be forced to twirl instead.
DOERNER GOES IN BOX
Bernhardts injury gave Gus Dornsr a
chance to show that he can occasionally
pitch great ball He was in for SIX in
that the Browns secured but one run while
he was on the Sab, that one being the
result of Laioie's error upon an easy
chance, which would have retired the SIDE
without run.
Altnoush sudhotr deserves. great credit
Tor pitching grand gams OF ball. he can
not score few runs. The former Cleve-
lander had great day of 1t, covering all
Ing down fouls back Of third base and max
Ing clean pick-ups Of all kinds Of hot
S;ounders and making stiu better throws to
chances.
HIS double play in the seventh inning
killed Clevelands chances of scoring at
least one run. 1t was brilliant piece of
work Where Sudhoff got in his fine work
was IN the fourth inning. when a bet that
Cleveland would score would have gone
begging. With Bay out, Bradley reached
frst on Wallaces error and took third
safe just out of Auderson's reach. Had
Bradley known for sure the fly was not
gong 10 be caught. he could have scored.
SUDHOFFS GOOD WORK.
Then, with Hickman to bat and only one
out. 1t looked a certainty that TIE Blues
would score. but Sudhofr followed Hickman
up on an in and out and a drop, Cleve-
lands stock going down. Mccarthy looked
dangerous. and he was given free transport
tat!on, Flick proving an easy victim.
st. Louis scored its first run in the third
inning. There were two out and two strikes
on Martin when he drove the ball to right
for two bags. scoring on Sugden's single,
which was Just too high for Bradley to pull
down.
The other came in the seventh. Kahos
led on with Texas Lacquer" to right,
and moved to second on HIS sacrifice
Hemphill flied to center, Kahos taking
third. Sudhofr hit an easy oae to Larry
which the latter fumbled. Kahoe scoring
The score:
