Too Tame TO Score
Yankees Shut Out in Final
Game with Cleveland
Indians
By W. o. MCCLELLAN

&C the trenches, partly because faddy
Rauman is no foot racer and partly be-
cause Iris Speakers pegging is aoou,
a. accurate as a French seyenty-tive.
The final score was: Cleveland, ?;
Yankees, 0. This means that Stani''
iaus Coveleskie. the Terrible Pole, has
scored his fifth shut-out for the cur
rent season. The achievement OF STAINS
iaus Coyeleskic rather gives him the
edge over his brother. Harry Cove
leskie. another Terrible Pole, who WORKS
for Hughey Jennings. Life for the
Yankees has become just one CovelesSle
after another.
They are two tough birds. these
Covcleskies. They certainly have pun
the fair land of Poland into the base
ball guide for fair. Until the cove,
lcskies went into the box the baseball
fans knew little of Poland outside OF
the fact that there had been water
named after it, and that IS no boost
awoug the baseball fans. IL may or
may not be true that freedom shrieked
when Kosclusko fell, but the baseball
world will save It's shrieks until one OF
these Coycleskies is hammered out or
the boz and this does not seem likely.
Five Hits for Yankees
Tho Yanks got just five hits oil
ctanislaus. Three Of them came IN the
eighth inning, and yet the Ianks could
not get m one lone run TO spoil the
shut-out record. II was not that the
Yankees did not fight, either. Three
times they pulled young Urban Shocker
out of a pit that he had digged for
himself. Urbau's hairbreadth escapes
from being rolled out fiat furnished
most Of the thrills for tho 10000 spec
tators who simmered m the stands
yesterday
: But il does little good to block the
. other fellow when you cannot land
punch yourself. The ianks we're just
. ahy of the wailop az the crucial mo-
meDts.
The Indians painted UP one run on
their totem pole I'M the second inning,
and as the long shadows crept across
tao nicalv ironeI grass at the Polo
/ Grounds that run began TO loom bigger
and bigger By the sixth inning II
looked like a hundred.
Roth plastered young Urban Shocker
for clean bio 10 centre. Ray Chap
man attempted sacrifice, but Shocher
himself retrieved the ball and threw To
second, forcing Roth. u was then that
4 Wambsganss. the Human Consonant,
not a Pole by birth, but one b. spelling,
came to the fore with single 10 left.
By some heady base running Chapman
made third ahead of the ball and stood
ready for what might happen. Harris
poled long fly to right and Chapman
scored
This was all that the terrible Pole
needed 10 hold the Yankees in deten-
ton camp for the rest of the afternoon.
But 10 make sure that Coveleskie
would not be annoyed or even irritated,
the indians got him another run in the
seventh.

Harris.
In the third inning it looked a.
though the Indians would hoist young
Urban Shocker right out of his shoes.
/ This threat was raised by the terrible
Stanislaus Coveleskie himself. Coming
up to bat innocently enough, Stanislsus
swung on one and raised it out TO left
field for a three Dagger. Hughey High
lost his spikes trying 10 run it down.
There was nobody out and another
p
certain. But Peckinpsugh pegged out
Graney. Evans sashed hard one a.
Fritz Maisel Fritz dropped the ball
and Coveleske started for home, where
upon Fritz picked up the ball and
tossed neatly to Walters, who touched
Coveleskie out by foot or so.
Wsmbsganss started another drive
that was checked in its tracks. The
Human Consonant started the fifth for
the Indians by driving two-bagger
against the left-field wall. Harri7
hunted TO Shocker, who made a pretty
toss TO Baker, mailing the Consonsnt
off the bag.
These escapes Of Shocker from total
annihilaton made up the most Of the
afternoons melodrams. The real
dramatic punch came in the eighth,
when Brigadier Wild William Donovan
massed his reserves for big drive
at the Polish intrenchments.
Pay Caldwell was hurled into the
breach 10 bat for Walters. He was
thrown out by Wambsganss, and the
prospects for a drive began TO look
blue. Donovan kept calling up the
reserves, and Paddy Baumsn. fresh
from a long period Of bench warming.
took Shocker's place, and sliced
single through short.
Nunamaker Heeds Call
Lee Nagee flied out harmlessly 10
Wambsganss. and the drive looked like
q bust once more. Leslie Nunamaker
came I'D 20 bat for High and pounded
hit TO left field. The multitude be
gan 20 clamor for Maisel TO break il
up. Fritz sent single right over
short and Bauman started from second
But IRIS Speaker. the ubiquitous
centre fielder, happened to be right
about where Maisel's hit alighted. He
recovered the ball quickly and made
snappv low throw TO the plate. Catcher
ONeiil had the ball in his hands, and
was waiting for Bsuman when the
leaden- footed PADDY was sliding for
tho plate. The drive Of the Ysnks
collapsed right then and there with
fatuient and squsshy flop.
slim Love went in 20 finish the game
which was already finished as far 81
the total score was concerned. The
Terrible Pole was not TO be whitfield
down by the Yanks that afternoon.
Fritz Maisel distinguished himself
es a high jumper in the ninth. CHAP
