enthusiasm, Prof. Steele speaking on the

CLEVELAND IS
IN FIRST. PLACE
Indians Fly to Leading Position After
Week Of Victories In
the American
League.
RECORD
Old Timer, Fails to Deliver Goods at
the Opening Of His Seven
teenth Year in 6ase-
RECORD

NEW YORK, May Shaking up in
pep what they lack in batting and
fielding, the lowly Cleveland Indians
came up from the ruck with rush
during last weeks play and winning
six consecutive games today, lead
their league by the comfortable mar
gin of a game and one-half.
If the old legend that twenty games
tell the tale of the class of the clubs
be true, what then? For the dopsters
selected the Indians to keep the Ath-
letics company at the bottom Of the
list. But there is an alibi. Cleve-
lands place was selected before the
mighty Speaker joined the club.
The records show the Indians sixth
in both club batting and club fielding
with averages of .235 and 1854.
In the National. the outstanding
feature of the past week was not the
change of the clubs, but the start of
Christy Mathewson, the once peerless
"big six"
When Matty took the rubber
against the Braves, the crowd at the
polo grounds held it's breath. The
second ball he pitched was knocked
almost out Of the grounds for three
Dagger That told the tale and the
Boston sluggers kept touching him
up, gathering total of fourteen hits.
Matty's control was there and the
fade-away was working but he was
shy Of speed. 1t was Matty's seven
teenth years start in big company,
his first being in 1900 Walter John
son was then but eleven years old.
One week ago the first four in the
National lined up: Philad elphia, Chi
cago, Brooklyn and Boston. Today
it is Brooklyn, Boston, Chicago and
Philadelphia The fourth team was
but game and a half from the lead
ers then. Today it is two games. In
the second division, Cincinnati took
fifth place from st. Louis. Pittsburgh
continues comfortably in seventh and
the Giants now have to burrow to
find room.
The Red Sox and Detroit tied for
first week ago. Each lost four and
won but one and are now tied for
fourth in the American. New York
winning three and losing three, held
onto third place and Clark Griffth's
Senators moved from fourth to sec
ond by grabbing three and losing but
one.

OTTO KNABE VALUABLE BALL
PLAYER-FURNISHES PEP
BY Mark Shields


Otto Knabe, Cub second baseman,
is not hitting a 300 clip and there is
small probability that he will reach
that dizzy height by next fall But
Otto doesn't have to perform such
powerful feats with the club to be
one Of the most valuable men to the
North Side combination.
He is the battery of the team, fur
nishing the electric shocks that take
some of the other players out of their
plOdding ways and force them to play
little above their regular speed.
Off the ball field Knabe is one of
the qUietest men imaginable. He is
a fine, cOmpaniOnable chap, serious
minded and temperate. But on the
diamond he has few, if any, friends.
Even the members of his own team
are not too highly regarded by Otto
and he OVeTlOOks no opportunity to
call any shortcomings to their at
tentiOn during the progress of a ball
game.
A bit of poor fielding by some mate
and Otto is right there to diagram
the situation, with proper fOOtnOtes
Of how the play should have been
been made. Let a pal run bases in
an improper manner and he hears
the snarling voice of the diminutive
German, raised in biting criticism.
But, on the other hand, if a mate
does something worthy of commen-
datiOn, Otto is right there with the
pat on the back and the word of
praise. He knows every angle of the
game and his comrades are working
all the time with the threat of his
criticism hanging over them. Heinie
Zim is a star, and a German, too, but
that does not exempt him from OF
tO's displeasure if Tim does some
thing contrary to Hoyle.
Zim takes great delight, too, in
getting something on Otto and the
two fight so hard to keep clear of the
