Turner twisted his knee pulling away
from the plate, and although he made
a two-bagger was forced to retire IN

come unattended, for the Yankees

men, beating them by score OF o TO 3.
The Yankees spotted the home team

the Coveleskies is regarded as quite a

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. Pip
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:
