Cleveland June 10 ne dHhNt0 ~
effective stick work stretched Nick Gull
lop's pitching record TO six straight
victories before the New York south
paw had pitched a ball this afternoon,
and then went on in undated fury
until some major league records Of the
present season had been put into the
discard.
Donovan's men, breaking out in a
malignant attack Of batting rash,
pounded five Cleveland pitchers almost
20 a pulp and ran away with their sec
ond successive victory over the league
leaders. The score was 10 10 8. Ban
Johnson, president Of { he American
League, was q spectator.
Unlike most games which end with
big scores. to-day's affair did not as
sumo the aspect Of charity az any stage.
The Yankees simply waded into all
kinds of pitching and treated all alike.
Fohl's men, performing before crowd
Of 10000 fans. worked as hard in the
field and tried as hard at the bat as If
the score had been low az all times.
Real Slugging.
They simply could not do anything
with the Yankee pitching, and the
Yanks could do about as they pleased
with the home hurlers. The New York
hit column. which shows a cluster of
nineteen hits. totalling twenty-nine
bases, is the real answer for the score.
Errors cropped out now and then,
hut there was never any disposition on
~ of tko Ia 20 @ - q
easy. All Of which may be explained
from the fact that the ball player loves
base hits and dislikes errors even IN
slaughter such as to-day's affair proved
10 be.
Every New York player except Allen
Russell broke into the hit column at
one time or another. Russell made a
strong bid for admission in the seventh
innning, but Ray Chapman went sky
ward and brought down a line drive
from the bat Of the side-arm spitballer
Baumann, MaCee and Gedeon got three
hits apiece, with Magee drawing two
passes on the side. and Baumaun two
free trips when he was hit by pitched
balls.
Wally Pipp, with only two blows TO
his credit. proved the batting star OF a
batting constellation. IN the first in
ming he started the Yankee scoring by
hitting beyond Iris Speaker for
double which chased in two runs. He
scored himself a minute later when
Baker broke his batting slump with a
double against the right field wall.
Pipp's shining feat, however, was re-
served for the fifth inning when he
came 10 the plate with two Yankees on
the bases and Marty McHale in the
box.
Clout Clears Fence.
The lanky first baseman greeted his
one-time teammate with a colossal
clout which cleared the fence, forty
FIVE feet high, i'm right field Joe Jack
son hit over this fence occasionally
when he played in Cleveland, but the
trick had not been done this season
until Pipp turned in his long and high
drive to-day.
The one cipher which decorates the
Yankees score by innings goes to the
credit Of Grover Lowdermilk, who
pitched the last three frames against
the Donovan boys. The Yanks got two
hits or more In every inning except
the sixth and eighth, and the eighth
was the only frame which did not show
g. run. Baumann, Peck and Pipp went
cut I'm order and the crowd gave Low
dermilk as great an ovation as he
might expect if he had famed the side
in a close game with the bases filled.
Lefthanders and righthanders were
treated alike by the New York swat
smiths. Fritz Coumbe started and
pitched 10 five batsmen. His regime
netted two doubles. two singles and
pass. Then came Willie Mitchell, and
Willie went out In the second after
Welding a triple. three singles and
pair Of passes during the latter part of
one inning and the early part Of an
other.
Marty McHale. the singing pitcher,
worked until the end of the fifth and
was badly bruised before he retired.

With the score Is 20 I Donovan gave
Cullop "a vacation after he had pitched
five innings and Allen Russell finished
the game. Southpaw Nick, who be

except in the second inning. when
three successive hits were made after
the first batsman had been retired.
