Cleveland left here yesterday and
carrird away the cellar The thing

400 fo~ II was continual source OF
danger 10 the Yankees, who were for
ever threatening TO fall IN. Joe Blr'
mireham and his men took mean re-
vengc before departing. They played
4 double-header. But Bill Dlneen soft
ered somewhat the vengeful plan OF
Birmingham, for he called the second
encounter while IL still had three and
half innings TO run. Darkness served
as q means TO the end. The first game
went to Cleveland by score Of : TO :,
while the half-portion affair was capt
ured by the Yankees al 10 0.
Nean Gregg, who pitched several
hours Of haseballs in the first two m
nings Of the opening game Of thurs
DAYS doublo-header. was the winning
pitcher for Cleveland.
Pcrhaps Ncans radical shirt he'd
something to do with his victory.
Every time the lefthander has worn
the red garment here this year he has
won. t. il were not for the cver-re-
current wash day Gregg should LEAD
the league.
Another commendable thing about
the twirling of the Nap was his frank
use Of resin. Many big league pitch
crs. notably Al Dcmaree, use resin 10

ball, bit with the single exception OF
Gregg they do so in devious behind
the-back sort of fashion.
pemaree. for instance, keepS the
resin in mis- hip pocket and reaches
in nov and again with an distracted
sort Of n manner as il he were looking
for his handkerchief or his eating to-
bacco. But Gregg knows that resin Is
an amcrphous substance produced by
the oxidation of volatile oils Secreted
IN llants and that II Is nothing TO be
ashamed Of. and so ne wears his sup
ply openly and proudly on the left leg
of mis- trousers. But though Gregg's
methods are frank, his curves are
crooked and the Yankees could do
nothing with them. Jack WARRIOR. who
was seeking to repeat after too snort
a rest. was hit hard. Cy Pieh finished
the game.
The Yankees made only ono hit in
the second game and 1t was an inneld
zap at that, but il sufiiced, thanks TO
the base running Of Roy Hartzell. who
came all the way home from second
base. Charlie Mullen was the nan
who made the timely blow.
Ray Caldwell deserves a large share
Of credit for the victory. for he came
unscathed through situation as try
ing as Imagination can conceive. In
the third inning Cleveland filled the
bases with none out and Joe Jackson
VAS the man who stepped TO the plate.
A few feet in the rear stood Larry
Lsjoie swinging three bats. Yes. one
might indeed say, Dulcinea, that the
I..tcher was in a hole. And yet the
Maps did not score even though Ed
Sweeney tossed away a chance for a
double pley.
Here is the case against Edward
Sweeney: Jackson hit gYouuder to
Maisel and the third baseman snapped
the ball 10 the plate to force Hager-
RAN. but Sweeney, instead Of touching
The plate and then whipping the ball TO
first, ran toward third and chased Hag-
erman until he could touch him. Lajoie
broke his bat in lifting an infeld fy
fer Boone and Grsney was out in trying
10 steal home after two strikes had
been called on Kirke.
The winning run Of the Yankees came
IN the later half Of the inning. Hartzell
drew a base on balls-one of seven is
sued by Hagerman- and after two men
had failed TO advance him. stole second.
Charlie Mullen drove a ball close to
second base, which Lajoie knocked
down. but Hartzell surprised the vet
e-an BY rounding third on high speed
and Lajoic threw late and wide as well

Cree showed in the second game that
he does other things besides bat, for
he made two great catches. in the
