~ FREDERICK q. LIEB.

Having watched the Yankee scrubs do
up the Yankee regulars in a six inning
game on the Polo Grounds yesterday by
n score Of 8 to z VIII Donovan decided
to give the frisky colts n crack at the
Cievelands. So he patched up team
around rockies Camp, Wick. Lamar and
Fewster, gave them Shocker and Nuna-
maker for a battery and turned them
loose or the Indians
For seven innings the new order OF
things worked we'll Shocker permitted
only one hit and no runs UP to the
eighth. and the kids. by amassing few
hits on klepfer in the fourth. produced
two runs.
But things took turn for the worse
In the eighth. Back In the spring when
the Yankees still had designs on the
pennant shocker had a to o lead on
Cleveland at the end OF the eighth
inning. Then the Indians sandbagged
him in the ninth and the game ended
with Cleveland ahead. 6 to 5. A similar
fate awaited Urban yesterday. In tho
last two innings Shocker absorbed
enough shocks to stun a mule and the
Indians won out, 6 to 2.
1t gave the Forest City lads the entire
three game series. AS n matter OF fact
the Yankees again have kicked away
six straight games. On the years war;
winning fifteen out OF twenty-five games.
No other teams succeeded in hanging II
on tho humble Yanks as ably as the
Indians
Nuuamaker in Verbal Tilt.
The only feature OF a tagging. listless
afternoon was a chin fight between
Tommy Connolly and Les Nunamaker In
the ninth. The New York catcher called

Tommy said I'm not going to put you
on; I'm going to make you stay here
and show you up"
Tommy had quiet sense OF humor
and rubbed a few things ir which rather
scared when they reached Mummy. When
Les spoke of Tommy aiding the other
side Connolly yelled back Many ball

Mummy felt called upon TO question
Tommy's ability to judge strikes the old
"ump" came back with Send up a

Tommy's witticisns were enjoyed by
| all with the exception OF Nun8ma ker,
who was very ruffied and tried to hit
the ball out Of the park. with the result
that he tapped little roller to Bagby.
