Cleveland. June 17.-Terry Turner
the perennial star Of the Cleveland
Indians. is on the injured list for tho
time being, and the fans are in an sp
prehensive frame of mind. Ten years
or so ago the Indians, or the Maps
as they were called then, were leading
the American League. and injuries
hurled them back into the ruck.
The pessim.sts see in the hurt to
Turner the handiwork Of he old hoo
doc playing his time-honored stunts
Turner twisted his knee pulling away
from the plate, and although he made
a two-bagger was forced to retire IN
favor Of Evans. Nlsfortunes do not
come unattended, for the Yankees
stopped the winning streak of Fohls
men, beating them by score OF o TO 3.
The Yankees spotted the home team
a couple Of runs in the nrst frame,
thanks 10 the wildness of Bob Shawkey,
and then came ahead 10 make their
drive TO the front. In winning they
beat Bagby and Coumbe. Of Fohls ice

a run of the pitching of Stanley CO.
veleskie. u has come 20 d point now
where even a couple Of hits of one of
the Coveleskies is regarded as quite a
feat in itself. Yet to-day the Ysnks
got two in one inning and scored run.
of to Poor Start.
Shawkey was of 10 a poor start. He
got into a lot of trouble by his inabil-
ity TO control the ball. He eased a couple
OF bases on balls on the Indians and
made a wondrous wild pitch as well.
These with a single by Roth produced
two runs in the hrst inning. Bob set
tied down then, and it was not until the
seventh frame that the Indians again
broke through mis- guard TO get q score.
Wild Bill Donovan shook up his bat
ting order to get a little more strength
in his team, and the plan bore fruit.
Wsllie Pipp, batting fourth, tore of
three bingles, and the other men hit
when something depended. They clus-
tered their ssfeties in the first FIVE
frames and clinched the verdict then
and there. Peckinpaugh's triple in the
fifth went a long way toward cllnch-
ing the verdict.
The Indians scored two runs in the
first frame. Graney walked, and after
i urner lleQ out, GldNeg went 10 sec
ond base on a wild pitch. Speaker
walked, also, and then Roth singled,
scoring Grsney and putting Speaker on
third base. He scored from there on
q long fly by Gandil. In the seventh
doubles by Speaker and Turner Tailed
another run.
The Yankees got one run in the third
frame. Nunamaker went 10 second
when Roth booted his fly Nunamsker
took third when Shawkey flied to
Speaker, and he crossed the plate on
Highs single. Another run was pro-
duced in the inning previous. Pipp
singled, and went to second on q FUN
bic by Graney. He took third on a
bad throw by Bagby, and scored on
Bakers out at first.
In the fifth High doubled, and scored
on Peck's three-base drive to right.
Extra base hitting was quite the lad,
for Pipp doubled and scored Peck. In
the eighth Magee's double and a sin
gle by Gedeon brought in the last run
OF the game.
Howard played a clever game for
the Indians, taking care of nine
chances, and Ray Chapman, in at short
stop again was his usual self. For
the Yankees Magee did well, as did
Baker and Pecknpaugh.
The score follows:
