Lefty" George Failure
With Napland Outfit

CLEVELAND, April 27.-Cleveland is
convinced-more convinced now than
ever-that Harry Davis and the Maps
owners were handed something that
bears a faint resemblance to a lime
fruit when George Stovall was traded
to ST. Louis for Lefty George.
George started against Detroit in the
third game of the season, and what the
Tigers did to him and what the Maps
management and supporters thought
isn't printable. Then, again, Chicago,
supposedly weak team against left
,anders. deluged George in a rain of
hits in the NTH inning, and forced Man
ager Davis TO substitute Fred BlandinE
