The Yankees again are going some
Whersi They can't tell as yet Just where
they are headed for. but they are on their
way. Anyway. for the immediate pres
ent their october destination doesn't
really matter. The most important thing
10 that they again are going.
Even Fohl admits that the Yanks have
changed their direction. Yesterday wild
Bills boys took another healthy whack
at the Indians. and with fifteen hits
dubbed a lot Of p%ennant hopes out OF the
Ohio redmen. Yet It took a timely hit
by Lutte Boone to win for the Yanks In
tho ninth by a score Of 6 to I. How
ever. what was more appropriate than to
have Dan Boone fire the shot which
dropped the Indians into third place?
History Repeats Itself.
n history is correct. the original Dan
Boone was very hard on Indians. espe-
clally such IA piled their business In
Ohio. The present Indians could see
nothing sentimental In being beaten BY q
modern Boone. One Indian expressed
uiulSeik quite ioTCioiy. nc saiu. =
don mind us losing. but II hurts TO be
beat by a u that you can't see his bat
ting average with the naked eye"
The victory was the fourth straight
for the Yankees. which Is a little better
than winning four out Of twenty. the
record just before this new rise started.
Had tho Donovan clan lost yesterday
any fan or scribbler would have been
Justified In giving the locals a severe
panning. They wasted hits In the sixth
and seventh innings in such a shameful
way that one fan actually gritted his
teeth with modification. Six hits were
made in these two rounds, and only one
run was spur out OF al! this raw ma
terial. In the sixth the first three men
up hit safely. but not q run grew out Of
this fat start.
However. these many wasted chances
made the uphill ficht all the more enjoy
able. as the Yanks tied with two out In
the eighth. the pinch kid. Charley Null

They then won out In the ninth.

Covcleskie. and both were maced pretty
hard. Fisher was neither very good nor
very bad. but when the Indians got a

scored him. Fisher did Ty Cobb q good
turn by holding Speaker to one infeld
sputter In four times M. Guy Morton
crept into the game In the eighth, and
Bob Shawkey entered the box score In
the ninth. Bob won the game. and Guy
