INDIANS AFTER
AMERICAN NLEAD
Tied for Third Place, Cleve-
land Is Hitting Hard Pace
to Get Into First
PITCHERS UP TO MARK

The brilliant victory of the Cleveland
Indians over the Red Sox. following an
equally brilliant performance last week, is
causing agitation today in the younger
major league circuit.
Lee Fohl's sterling pitching staff, COM
bined with a winning punch that isn't re-
quired to take the dust of any wrecking
crew, always has gained sidewalk room, but
right now it appears that Fohl is going to
horn into the argument over first place
in the American League unless some one
very shortly takes a knockout punch at
the Indians average.
The Indians and Tigers are locked in
the throes of struggle for third place,
seven games behind the Red Sox, but fol-
lowing crack at the Yankees in New
YORK they return to Cleveland to take on
the White Sox Considerable fur should
ny in this series. and Indications don,t
point to complete line of Indian fur.
Fohl's young pitchers, particularly Baebv
and Covaleskie, have been carving ths
burden. Klepfer's victory over the cbams
pions places him in class with other sta &c
and speaks none too we'll for the chances
OF the White Sox in the impending clash
The added whacking punch of Iris SpeaIer
Ray Chapman, Wambsganss, Roth anS
others makes the Cleveland Iine-up an o,,a
inspiring array. "'' awe
