Cleveland, Ohio, July 3l.-Heavy nring
by the Nationals In the first and third
innings, linked with seven ghastly oop-
bles by the Speakerless Injuns, spelled
another victory for Griff's upstarts this
afternoon, the Capital City clan atoneins
for their II to rout of Saturday by
manhandlins the home guards. II to l.
It would have been a gala matinee TOT
the visitors but for an accident to harry
Harper, who held the hostiles to TWO
scattered blows-both singles by Rotn-
until a liner from the latter's bat,
In the sixth, riddled his abdomen and sent
him post-haste to the dry dock for re-
pairs.
Roth. the hitting scamp of the Injun
at Griff's big south-paw and the pill pore
at Grin's big south-paw and the Pill pore
into the latter's stomach with terrinc
force. Harper fished the ball out OF MS
person, however, and pegged to hrst' re-
| firing the hitter, then collapsed. writh-
ing about on the greens in agony.
Heroic treatment was applied and ne
managed to walk from the slab, making
way for Du Mont, who finished, allowing
one blow-a triple by Chapman which
proved unavailing-in the last three and
two-thirds innings.
Grinmen Hammer Ball.
The Grinmen put up a sparkling oe-
fensive game behind their pitchers, in ad-
dition to crowning all the offerings OF
Fohrs slab nominees and made the re-
Gently displaced leaders look like sand
lotters. 1t must have been a tough after
noon of for Iris Speaker, who hobbled
down To the Cleveland dugout aboard
crutches to sit through the proceedings.
Injun officials announced tonight that the
$4,000 centerfelder would be off watch for
two weeks while the sprain in his left
ankle is rounding-to.
Mr.. Fohl must be a patient bloke as
well as a glutton for punishment Al
any rate. he sent the angular and erratic
LowderInilk back for more abuse after
the Griffrnen had sawed of Ave runs in
their opener. mixing four wallops with
a pass and three errors.
Ten Nationals batted during the rioting
Moeller getting two trials for a single
and an infield tap.
Only the slickest sort Of backing car
ried Lowdermilk through the second
without another Washington marker. but
the old finishing scene occurred in th
third when the Griffmen packed on -four
more tallies, routing Grover and extend
ing greetings and Fluctuations to Klepfer
his rescuer.
Indians Hope for Rain.
| From the fourth on 1t was an ever
combat with Klepfer and Lambeth, who
succeeded him. holding the Nationals al
bay. Between the third and fifth frames
Cleveland resorted to stalling tactics
hoping for rain, which threatened but
failed to fall

pastime. and Lowdermilk's peg to center
