Lizzie Lacquer into right for the
winning punch.
A Lizzie Lacquer is cross between
Twas Lacquer and a regular blow,
but what's in name when the nit ar
rives that wins?
The Yanks are bounding further and
further on toward their old June ana
July ways Starting the last OF the
seventh. they were trailing, at l 10 A.

lead looked TO be amply sufficient:

for three more hits and this time they

The double charge in the eighth and

Change in Tactics.
The Yanks crossed the Indians by
reversing Wednesdays tactics. II you
recall the spicy details of that game,
Donovan's club shot up all its ammu-
milton in the first round, scoring FIVE
rms. Yesterday the Yanks saved up
their shrapnel and high explosives un-
Ill they could spot the white OF the
enemy's eyes. >.
They got only four hits off the Indian
star in the first five portfolios. But IN
the last four frames they assaulted
Coveleskie and Morton together for no
fewer than eleven resounding wallops.
Yet in spite of all this heavy artillery
if Raw Chapman hadn't pulled Howard
off the bag in the eighth inning with
two out the result might have been
different. For this play would have
retired the side runless and c. Mullen
would not have drawn his chance to
belt a timely double down the left
field line. -
The Indians got their four runs of
Fisher by buncbing hits. They pep
pered Ray for four singles, three dou-
bles and a triple, and most of these
umped in groups of two in the first,
second, sixth and seventh reels.
When the Yanks observed that Fisher
was unable TO hold the Indians in
check they decided to go out and get
enough runs to cover the deficit, with
the pleasant finish described above.
Fisher was backed up with good sup
port. but the shortstop play OF Roger
Peckinpaugh was the feature of the
day. Feck swarmed all over the lot
like a ball playing centipede, knocking
down hits to the right and left with
only one slip, when, after fine stop,
he was forced 10 shoot in a hurry. lie
checked more than one impending rally
by his finished work.
In the fifth and ninth innings Peck
ssed out five of the six men up, and

beauties with a fringe Of pink around
them.
The Yanks conclude with the Indians
this afternoon, and Mr.. Foil is said to
be pleased enough at the thought of
getting out of town. He came here
with the idea that the picking would
be soft, having heard nothing of Smil-
ing Bills new melodrama, "Donovan's
Revenge" Foil says it's bum show,
but as long as the audience liked il
