| feat yesterday, and In addition thereto,
drove Lajoie's star pitcher. Addie JOSS
| from the box for the first time this season
| In the fourth inning Stahl's men cracked
| out three singles. two triples and a home
run off the Maps pride. and the five runs
| this terrific bombardment yielded were
| enough in themselves to win the game.
Falkenberg, too. was hit hard but he
! kept the safeties from being punched in a
dangerous way. and was given very fine
| support.
When Stahl's men were driven to the
union station to take the midnight flyer
for Chicago they were singing a rollicking
song and talking cheerfully Of taking three
| out of four from the hitless wonders
The game was played in extremely cold
weather and before a crowd that looked
small because the spectators were scat
tered over the seats. where the sun
| tempered the frigid breeze from OF Lake
Erie 1t was not brilliant game from
fielding standpoint, but the splendid bat
ting of the visitors in the fourth inning
was enthusiastically cheered. All through
Larry as II muteiy begging to be taken
from the box. but it was not until the last
man had been retired that the Cleveland
manager gave heed and warmed up Eells
for the rest of the fray The latter was
| in good form and StahFs men did not score
again. The Clevelands looked dangerous
In the eighth and NINTH and there were
wild hopes of a repetition of the finish Of
the National-Nap game In Washington
when Larry's men found Falkenberg for
six hits and five runs In their last time at
bat. but the tail fellow pulled himself to-
gefher gamely and stopped the run getting
In its infancy.

| Larry Walked and the signal was hoisted
| for d double steal. Altizers lightning re-
| turn Of kittredge's throw nipped Turner
at the plate with time to spare. The Ma

| in the Maps half Rossman singled and
| reached third another wild pitch. AL
