MAULCLEVELAND AGAIN
YANKEES YIN ANOTHER,
StGllIngs's Men Hit Safely Sirteen
Times Quinn an Condition.

For the third consecutive time the Yankees found
no difficulty in defeating Cleveland, for the
American League Park yesterday was another OF
those runaway affairs which Staillngss men are
serving up these days. And the secret of the Van
KEGS success seemed 10 lie in the fact that they
had the art OF hitting the ball down fine point
Just let the opposing pitcher show the least sign
Of nervousness and the Yankees fall on him hard.
That is what happened to Otis and Upp yesterday,
for the Yankees made total sixteen hits off the
Cleveland twirlers To be sure, they able 20
score only five this plethora of safe drives.
but Cleveland could get only three runs over the
Yankees We're in danger
Although # is practically tho end OF the season
and StaIngs has a whole raft OF players wait
ing around the clubhouse for tryout, the Yankees
manager is apparently in hurry 10 dispense with
the services of his regulars. especially when they
can win games the way they have been doing dur
ing the last week. After long StallinEs sent
Jack Quinn the firing line yesterday. and Quinn 9
pitching such that the visitors hardly had a
fighting chance. while the support accorded him
kept him far aay from the LANCER mark. He held
the Maps down 10 eight hits. which were well scat
tered.

nature. He struck ont one and made the
two others who faced him knock out easy ground

with a three-base hit down the right neld foul
line that Goode couldn't reach in time. Austin beat

rapidly that the Cleveland infeld didn't wake up
until Elberfeld was dusting his clothes of on his
way 20 the bench. As KleinoV thrown out,
there was no more scoring
Poor base running heat the Yankees out OF a run
