Win, 5 to /.

Cleveland. Aug. 27.-Having grown
sick Of seeing their batting averages
growing weak and puny through lack
OF nourishment the Indians suddenly
arose in their might in the sixth IN
ming of to-day's game, smote the Of
ferings Of Allen Russell with reck-
less abandon and continued the attack
through the seventh. eventually de-
feating the Yankees, 3 to |.
Until the sixth the contest was
pitchers duel between Russell and
Otis Lambeth. late of Topeka. for the
Indians. The men of Foil collected
only two hits of Russell in the first
five innings. and that wasn't all. Their
batting efforts were so weak that none
Of Russell's teammates was forced TO
extend himself for any of the chances
offered. Following closely upon their
futile efforts TO get a single blow on
Bullet Joe Bush at Philadelphia sat
urday the home crew naturally was
somewhat pecved. But they suddenly
few into BATTING fury.
Before Bill Donovan was convinced
of Russell's inability to stem the tide
of the onslaught, six hits had netted
five runs in the sixth and seventh.
Lambeth. on the other hand, rivallcd
Russell in effectiveness at the start and
continued his effectiveness on to the
finish. The Yanks drew only four
blows off Lambeth. two OF which ar
rived in the ninth. accounting for the
tally which deprived Lambeth OF
shut out
Until the ninth Roger Peckinpaugh
was the only one Of the invaders who
succeeded in breaking into the hit col
umn. Roger smote one for single
and a double. He also smote another
for a triple, but that one never did
reach full growth. Jack Graney cut 1t
down at an advanced age.
1t happened in the third. The ball
scared on line, seemingly destined
TO finish its course at the left field
wall. Graney gave chase, and at the
psychological moment leaped, thrust
out his gloved hand and the ball rested
there. Wambsgsnss introduced a SINH
lar act to take hit away from Rus
sell in the sixth.
Otherwise, as mentioned or inferred,
before. the Yanks were quite humble
until the ninth. when. with one down,
Pipp crashed one a mile away TO the
wall at right centre and pulled up at
second. Oldring drove a single to left.
which sent Pipp to third, from where
he scored on Mullens out. Aragon
furnished the final out with a foul to
Turner.
Only one Of the Cleveland players
reached second during the first five
innings.
There was one down in the sixth
when Turner, with a single, creased
the paths for a quartet of markers.
Tuck smote single over second. Rus
sell labored so theoretically to get
Speaker TO hit a. bad one that Spoke
finally strolled Bobby Roth then
slashed liner to centre, scoring Tur-
ner and planting Speaker on third.
Roth pulled up at second on the throw
in. Wambsganss popped fly back OF
third near the foul line. 1t was
double. scoring Speaker and Roth.
After Mullen tossed out Gandil Chap
man cracked single to left, register
ing Wamby. Chapman died in an at
tempt to steal.
The Indians swatting half OF the sew
enth was two-tairds gone when Graney
doubled against the right field wall and
scored on Turner's single for the final
run.
Slim Love entered the scene of &C
ton in the eighth, after Nunamaker
had batted for Russell, and stopped
further damage.
The score follows:
