After the Yanks had deposited
Nicholas Cullop in the pleasant midst
Of his ninth consecutive victory they
bumped head-on into Grover Cleveland
Lowdermlk and stopped with amazing
abruptness. Grover Cleveland had no
particular idea where lot Of his stuff
was going, but he got enough of 1T
over 10 battle the home guard and
present Lee Fohl with an even break
on the day. The scores were practi-
cally as follows: First game-New
York. 8: Cleveland, 2. Second game
Cleveland. 4; New York. 2.
Nick Cullop rode merrily into his
ninth straight victory on the big bats
Of Baker and Caldwell, aided and
abetted by the right arm of Allen
Russell. Nick was leading 3 70 in
the fourth when Caldwell took his
place at the plate and led batting
onslaught that netted FIVE more runs.
Hence. when young Russell started in
the fifth his mates were leading to 2,
so there was no chance to horn IN on
his just deserts.
Russell was a victim of unseemly
fate so far as any credit goes. He
followed Cullop in the first game and
smeared the Indians without a hit
through the last five frames. In the
second affair he was subpnnaed again
after Cleveland had shelled Ray
Heating from the trenches and again
went five innings without permitting
a run.
All told. the Richmond ranger
allowed but three hits and no runs In
ten innings. yet all the credit he gets
is pleasant and agreeable mention in
.o-6ay's dispatches throughout the city.
He did by all odds the best pitching
Of the afternoon on either club: but so
far as the records are concerned,
wherein victories and defeats are re-
corded, he might as well have been
pot-hunting penguins off the coast Of
Pru.
Pitchers Are Pounded.
Tho youngster worked brilliantly in
both contests, holding the game and
aggressive Indian attack well in hand
where both Cullop and Kesting were
pounded with vim, vigor, vehemence
and virility-not 10 say violence. Tris
Speaker led the hostile attack with
three singles and double out of seven
times up, a collection of base hits that
lifts him well around the 800 mark.
Another able-bodied Son of Swat who
had a balky day was Ray Caldwell. Ray
was sent into each battle as pinch
hitter, and his response was timely
double in the first game and single
in the second. Which more than
evened up for his tanning act on Mon
day.
Hurhey High came near being driven
through the left field wall on several
occasions The visitors persisted in
smashing line drives against Hughey's
barrier. and while by fine ffelding he
hauled most Of these blows 10 earth
al least two Of them came near f'atten-
ing his hands against the stands.
Hughey led the home offence with three
hits, rounding out one Of the busiest
days of his spicy career.
Baker Wins First
Frank Baker won the first game for
Nick Cullop in the opening canto.
After Fred Beebe had passed Hartzell
and Peck, with two out, J. F. b. as
sessed Beebe for a line smash into the
lower right field stands. The drive
netted three runs. The visitors dived
into Cullop for four hits. in the third
and two more with pass in the fourth.
When Magee had walked and Gedeon
had singled in the fourth, with Cullop
at bat. Donovan ditched the southpaw
and called in Caldwell. Ray doubled
against the right field wall, pushing
two more runs over, and before the
rally had ended the Yanks had fat
total Of eight tallies. From this point
on Russell stopped the Indians, and Al
Gould a Davenport recruit, known as
the Muscatine Marvel. stopped the
Yanks. The two youngsters together
allowed but one hit, a single by Baker
in the eighth.
Ray Keating was pushed In TO face
Grover Cleveland Lowdermilk In the
second affair. When these two started
about 10000 fans had massed their
clammy forms around the field. Keat-
ing lasted exactly three innings. In
that brief space the visitors swarmed
under his faltering guard for three
singles, two doubles and a triple. Be
yond this Heating tossed in free
PASS, wild pitch and an error. the
entire array netting four runs. Rus
sell then stepped 10 the mound again
and once more held the Indians in the
hollow Of his perspiring palm.
In the meanwhile Colonel bowder-
