paw bobbed up in the path of Bill Dono-
vans Yankees here this afternoon. lie
succeeded in curbing tho aggregation Of
left hand hitters on Bits team, but he
was properly combed 10y the right hand
ers. As a result the Yankees took the
third game of the series with the In
dams and are now assured of at least
an even break on their first series in
the West The score was to I.
More than 1000 Cleveland fans turned
out in expectation OF seeing Morton. the
new pitching sensation here, in the act OF
toying with the Donovan boys. Morton
has not pitched since he shut out the
Athletics sunday. and this seemed to be
his day. But Birmingham fooled the
fans by trotting out Fritz counbe. and
the youthful manager likewise fooled
himself In believing that the Yanks
would prove easy for a southpaw, since
Donovan had Ave left hand hitters in his
lineup. The Yanks have been hitting
against southpaws quite regularly OF
late, and Dutch Leonard is the only one
with verdict against them.
The Yankees failed to show any
punched stckwork against Coumbe. but
they inserted their hits to good advan-
tage with Coumbc's wildness and the mis-
plays OF other Indians. Hugh High was
the only left handed hitter to break into
the hit column. but Maisel. reckinpaugh
and Boone more than atoned for the
failure OF their mates with the bludgeon.
Slim Caldwell was Donovan's choice
for the pitching labors, and the Yankee
star rolled up his fourth victory OF the
year without any great trouble. In only
two innings were the Indians able 10
get more than one safe hit of his de-
livery. and In these two chipters trouble
was averted through the medium of
double play II was the same old story.
Somebody hit one TO PeckinpauEh. Peck
shot it along To Boone and Daniel hur-
ried II along to Pipp. They 60 out fast
along that route.

beyond second base during the engage
ment. The traveller was Tuck Turner.
who reached first In the sixth inning.
while Pipp was forcing out Leibod at
second. High got under Chspmans long
drive to left centre and his quick return
held Turner at second. but Joe Jackson
followed with "A drive to the centre field
fence for two bases. and Turner breezed
home. In the other iugings second base
was the limit for the home team. Jack
son came to the ba, twice with runners
on first and second bases. but the first
time he hit into a double play. and later
he bounded TO Caldwell for an easy out
AT first base. retiring the side.
The all around performance OF Fritz
Maisel was easily the feature OF the
battle. Fritz made five trips to tho
plate and got three hits, also two passes.
HIS last hit was terrific clou; far
above Graneys head in left field. the
ball rolling all the way to the fence
Graney made good time in his chase
after the ball and IT was relayed home
In spes6 fashion. but Maisel was too
fast and GO; clean homer.
Fritz also .cpred three runs and
handled three chances In the field. His
masterpiece. the best fielding play of
the game, was running eaten OF
Woods foul near the left field line IN
the ninth inning. Maisel was travelling
In the same direction as the ball when
ne pulled 1t in.
The Yankee scoring began in the
opening inning. Maisel hit one back 80
hard at Coumbc that il bounced off
his glove and into centre field. pcck's
single To- left sent Maisel To third and

and third innings the Yanks had two
on ba,es with none out. but killed their
chances by poor base running. Both
Boone and Maisel were nipped OF
