Ray Caldwell Is Hit Hard and
Good Luck Fails to
Save Him.

first Western tour last night in first

supporters Of Bill Donovan's men, but
three factors entered into the demol-
ishing of this ambition.
In order to have this delightful set

for the Senators and Cleveland TO lose
and for the Yankees to win. Washing

gramme. but Cleveland refused to bow
more than once to the Browns, and
the Yanks just wilted before the shoots
