! DETROIT. July 21.-Joe Engel Will
be a member Of the Minneapolis team
of the American Association for the
remainder of the season. Arrange
ments to send the Washington boy to
the minors were made late yesterday
and he packed his grip after the game
and started on the voyage to the Can
tillon club. 1t is expected that Engel.
who will be given a lot of work by the
Minneapolis club, will develop into a
major league pitcher with the expert
ence. His trouble now Is that he lacks
control and the only way to improve
this failing is to give the pitcher regu-
lar work. He is sure to get that where
he is going. for Hopper. who has been
in Minneapolis only three days. has
already pitched two games and Engel
will be similarly treated.
Manager Griffith was mad with him
self after the game today because he
did not change pitchers in the ninth
and send Shaw to the bench and let
Boehling finish. Shaw had not been at
his best all day and when the Nation.
ais got a one run lead Grifith figured
1t would be wise to protect that lead
by making a change OF pitchers, but
he listened to John Henry, who said
that Shaw would finish all right, and
Shaw stayed until the score was tied.
Then Boehling was put in the game
and he lost it because he did not have
a chance to warm up his arm properly.
This Is the last time that Griffith
he has made UP his mind to make a
shift. He contends that every time
when he has allowed himself to do that
he lost his game
Jack Graney, the clever leftfielder Of
the Indians, fractured his right ankle
in the first inning of the game. Graney

he was caught between second and
third. and while being run down broke
the small bone in his ankle. He had
to be carried of the field and will be
at least.
This is the fourth player of tho
Cleveland club to be placed on the hos
pital list Joe Jackson is still out Of
ner. while Evans. recruit, who is
highly touted as hitter and speed
marvel, Is also out with a bad ankle.
The team. as now made up. stands but
little chance to win.
Ainsmith had his left hand bruised
while catching and John Henry took
his place. For a couple Of innings
Shaw seemed to work better with the
change in catchers, but he fzzled out
in the ninth.
Eddie Foster was responsible for
the two runs the Nationals got in the
fourth inning. but he also had a lot to
do with giving the Indians two in the
third, when he made low throw to
first on Kirke's grounder. Fosters
triple in the fourth sent Moeller homo
and made It possible for him to score
himself later.
Walker. who worked the greater
good pitcher. He has a lot Of stun
and easily leads the indiana twirlers
because he has been able to win q
majority of the games he has pitched.
Tho Indians easily outhit the Ma
credit against six for their opponents.
and yet the result would ordinarily
have been reversed.
Harry Harper Is very apt to get a
chance against the Tigers during the
coming series. Griflth wants to get a
returned from the two-month stay in
the minors. and he figures that the
best test will come by letting him
face the Detroit bunch of sluggers,
who have never had good luck against
a real good left-hander.
Shaw was lamentably weak at the
bat. tanning three successive times.
Walker also had something on Nc
Bride. whom he famed twice.
Walker pitched an effective game of
ball. but would have been beaten had
shaw been given good support. The two
runs which the Indians scored in the
third inning were the result of an error,
which. II eliminated. would have
