Cleveland, May 2s.-The Western jaunt of the Yankees came to a finish here yesterday afternoon. when Cleve- land put on a batting jubilee at tho expense of two New York pitchers, and won by a score of to 3.
 The Indians drove Ray Caldwell from the box in the third inning. col- lecting seven hits and six runs before he was taken out. Russell was inef- fective during a short stay in tho box. and not until Slim Love took up tho work did the Indians become tame.
 The Yankees did enough hitting in the early innings to throw scare into the Indians and to chase Lam- both from the box. but they were very quiet after Jim Bagby began to operate. Bagby held the New York CTS helpless from the time he re- lieved Lambeth in the fouth inning. and the Indians lead was never threatened. The score:
