Brings WIN AFTER
GAME SEEMS LOST
By Ed Rang.

CLEVELAND, June 4-The Griff-
men may have had tough break in
the luck Sunday when they lost. to
Q. in eleven innings, but they had
bushels OF horseshoes here Monday,
when they pulled q game out Of the
fire in the eighth and ninth innings,
just as It appeared that they were
destined to be victims OF Stanley
coveleskie's Whitewash brushing.
Covy had held them runIess ana to
the three hits scattered Throughout
the second. NTH, and sixth innings.
while the Indians had staked him to
two runs IN the first when Dame For
tune smiled on the visitors and they
proceeded 70 make the most OF their
opportunity.
Pieinich opened with a line single
70 center. Milan. batting for Ayers,
lifted q ny T. oshort center. too far out
for Chapman and too far in for
Speaker to bag, so It counted for a
single. Even this would not have
proved disastrous to, the Indians but
lowed.
Wambyss POor Pes.
Ehotton's bounder to Wamby should
have been converted into a cinch
force-out at second. and a possible
double play. as the ball was hit hard.
But Wamby managed to aim straight
at the speeding 1Lilan's back and hit
him with the ball, the sphere rolling
70 short left, Picinich scoring ana
Milan reaching third. Judge followed
with a sacrifice ny to Speaker. on
which Zeb recovered the tying
counter. Ordinarily Speaker throws
q man out on a fly such as Judge
dished up to him, but his throw home
was wide Of the mark and Chapman
vas wise to intercept II. Coyy got
the next two batters, but the damage
had ben done for the time being, and
4 was continued in the ninth.
After the Griffs tied the count Man
arer Griffith sent Walter Johnson, |

tvro-third innings Sunday, back at the |
Indians, with Ainsmith catching. |
walter set the tribe down in order, |
while Ainsmith inserted the winning |
blow IN the hnal session.
Iavan starts Trouble.
with two down Lavan singled to |
center and made a fake start for |
second. CoveIeskie's throw had him |
nailed OF first and he continued hot |
footing It for second. Miller cut
loose with a peg to Wamby who was |
late Gin covering the bag, and then |
after taking the throw and touching |
L.avan, Wamby allowed the bail to |
slip from his fingers.
Ainamith followed with q single TO |
center which Speaker juggied mo- |
H1eutarily. or until Il was too late to |
Try 20 make q play on Lavan at the |
plate, and the game was won then |
and there. for King Walter forced |

batting for TVans, all 70 hit the ball /
