Drive, Opening Way for Only
Run of Contest.

Cleveland, June SACK Warhop pitched
one Of the best games Of his career against
tho Cleveland Maps at Somers Park In this
city to-day, but the link that old arch en-
envy Of the Yanks was very much on hand.
Simply outlucked, the Yankees went down
to defeat for the third time in the series
Kahler, the youngster who shut the Yanks
out without a run in tine first game OF the
series. was sent back at them and repeated
in good style, this time by score Of TO
The game was a battle =, the Titans from
the time that Kahler sent the first bali
whizzing over the plate until Cree was
caught in an attempt TO steal third in tho
ninth inning as Chase struck out. Backed
with perfect support, it is probable that
Warhop would have carried the game along
into extra innings, but the fates decreed

-Four hits. so widely scattered along the
paths that kd but TO the plate that not a
runner should have scored, were made off
WarhOp, and It is probable that had VOL
vertOn held fast TO drive from Birming-
ham in the second inning that danger
would have been passed. Harry didn't
however, and his bobble shaped the way for
the run which eventually won the game.
Napoleon Lajoie opened the second frame
by slamming one at Martin which could no:
be handled and Larry took second when
Wolverton made mess OF lick from
Birmng ham. While Easterly was being
thrown out on a sacrifice bunt, Larry capt
ured third and "Dode scored. Then Peck
inpaugh raised long fly to Cree that let
Lajoie score the only run of the game.
From that time on FIVE men saw first
base. and only one OF these mounted the
dizzy pinnacle OF third. One OF these was
passed, the other hit by pitched ball. Clean
hits placed the other three In position to
do damage. Faced by a situation. WARRIOR
summoned all his speed and cunning into
that twisting. underhand delivery, and the
Maps, suggers as they are at times, could
make no Roadway against it.
Backed by errorless support. Kahlef
pitched a rare brand Of ball. lie allowed
half q dozen hits in all, and he kept them
so well distributed that only once was he
In immediate danger. That was in the
fourth inning, when the New York men
filled the bases on base on balls and two
infield singles Two men were retired be-

the third out.
Reckless base running cost New York a
run. and perhaps the game, In the seventh
inning Znn singled sharply into right
field, and thought that he could get to sec

him by two feet. Then Chase walloped the
ball for two bases. but Chase was left on

larceny were made, and three attempts
were repulsed In yeoman style. Easterly
also earned the plaudits Of the crowd by

made grand catch In the third inning.
Sweeney caught one OF kahlers fast

ran with the ball, and at the last moment
he leaned high in the air and grabbed II

was also prominent in the defence, and ac-
cepted seven chances with credit Earl
Gardner was by no means In the back
ground, as his FIVE chance were not all
easy. and Cree and Zinn got eight hard hit
drives between them.
