The second act of Shooting Holes
in the West; or, Donovan's Revenge,
will be set loose this afternoon II the
occasion seems propitious.
By trimming the astounded Indians
Yesterday the Ysnks move on toward
polite baseball society again: Iney
are now only three and one-half games
back of Cleveland, in second place,
and John Franklin Bakers mighty
mace is expected to report by Mon
day.
"Out of the racer" says Donovan:
"Why? We won twenty-one out oil
twenty-four games before we were
shot to pieces. Most of the cast will
be back in by Monday, with Shocker
tackled on. We are only about SIX
games from the top. and we have the
pitchers that can stop any club IN the
business. And there are still fifty
games left. Watch our smoke!"
Angel Aragon has already suffered
two painful wounds within the space
of a fortnight Angel is said to be
much obliged that his neck is still
practically intact.
Russell! gave one of his great exhi-
billions yesterday, using not only
bale of stuff, but using it in a decep-
tive, we'll trained way.
Here is an example of the young
pitchers judgment: After iris
Speaker had belted a double against
the top of the right-field wall the first
time up Russell issued two passes to
iris good for only one base each.
Wilbert Robinson, Jack Coombs,
Wheeler Dell and Mrs. Robinson and
Mrs. Combs adorned one of the ring
side boxes. 81 am predicting no pen
nant," said Robby, "but any one who
thinks we have blown or are going to
blow is comical in the conk. We were
merely due for a brief dip after hav-
ing won fourteen out of our last sew
enteen games from the West. Wen
continue to beat these birds on the
next trip and will report back in first
place"
Three Cleveland amateurs under the
tutelage and painstaking care of Ernie
Lanigan, are making the Eastern trip
with the Indians. They are Peter
Meter, Moxie Divis and Henry Ernst.
They were sent by a Cleveland paper,
the idea being to absorb all the knowl-
edge they may run across in pursuit Of
further baseball development.

If he had been able to locate the range
Of the plate for the first three men up.
! This bad start took all the buoyancy
out of his afternoon, and he was an
easy target until Klepfer came rushing
to his relief.
With Russell, Cullop, Shawkey,
Shocker, Mogridge and Fisher in fine
shape, Donovan expects to make the
four Western clubs sick of pitching
before they leave New York. ANY
ball club looking for soft picking here,
says Bill, will have bad case of indi-
gestion before it gets out Of town"
Tuck Turner played fine ball around
second and drove over two of the three
Indian runs. In nominating veterans
for the Hall of Fame, Sir Cotton Top
should not be overlooked. He was a
star eleven years ago, and no one has
been able to crowd him out this year.
Turner made a fine play on Bau-
mann in the fifth, robbing Paddy of a
clean hit with a startling one-handed
scoop.
Guy Morton pitched the final inning,
and from the showing he made the old
wing looks to be right again.
In the first inning Lee Magee drew a
pass and then struck out The idea is
that Lee was the tenth man up in the
round.
Ernie Lanigan and Henry P. Ed
wards, the two war correspondents
making the tour, still figure Cleveland
with chance. Why not, with the club
still in second place?
