CLEVELAND, p NEW YORK "a bl, a.
The New York Americans returned from
a stIccessful swing around the Eastern circle
Yesterday and opened the Western series
on the bill with the Cleyeande They played
fine fielding game, but Adrain joss had
the lid on when II came 10 the blnRles, ana
Grifith's pennant chasers we're shut Qui
But II wasn't defeat To grumhle over. The
spectators and there we're more Of them.
barring saturday attendances, than have
been seen In long time we're treated 10
sharp. eXcellently played game There was
no scoring at all until the last two innings,
when tho Clevclands landed on Doyle hard
enough TO reap two talhes.
The Cleyelands made four OF their sly hits
on DoyIe In the eighth and ninth innings,
Two runs we're pretty big the way joss was
pitching but there was still chance, and
the visitors didn't breathe easy until u was
all over There was just shade In their favor
however from the start. Joss, who pitched
In invinCible form, was not permitting the
New Works 10 meet his service as sqprely
az the Cleveands met Doyles, though the
!atter,s pitching was anything hul snap 10
ihe Maps hammered the bali hard, but not
safely, and this indicated that they we're due
10 get in a few timely safe ones before the
game was over. In short, joss outlasted
The Clevelands, albeit crippled by the
absence Of Bradley. Turner and Flick, pre-.
sented a pretty solid front. Perring AZ thlTd
base, sPeared liner from Niles nai IN me
in front OF his face and taking the ball with
the one hand Hinchman was most capable
stopgap al shortfeld In the absence OF Turner.
There, wasn't a gnlyer ~ ne - neh,aing .h o. me
except that the high wind made u hard TO
Judge hy balls. Bemis was the chief sufferer
In this respect, missing three fouls Ball
and Chase we're the chief heldlng lumlnaries.
IIall handled hard hit Rrounders clean as a
whistle, and he aud Chase and Doyle figured
in a picturesque and peppery double play
in the second inning. Birmingham, had
doubled aud was on second base when Htnch
man sent a Jumper toward LETT. Doyle
grabbed the hall over toward third and threw
out Hinchman at first Birmingham ran TO
third on the play and turned that bag. Chase,
quick a. cat and watchful a. hawk. pegged
across 10 Ball. who was on the spot, Conroy
having come In for Hinchmsns hit. Ball
stamped the bali on Birmingham before that
player could get back. Kleinow tackled into
The wind and made clever catch OF Joess
in the eighth Hnchmsn lifted 8 single TO

man flied to Stahl and Perring foiled to

lie didn't seem TO realize that he was doing
plenty with his pitching. Not content With

brought Hinchman home. Sioyaiis double,
Iaioie's sacrifice and Belnls's hit gave the

Keeler beat out roller along the hrst base
line and Niles outfooted bunt TO lAioie,
to left stshl hit hard and far to rlght, but
Hickman caught the ball, Chase going 10
third on the play. That was New ork :
