INDIANS TAKE
FINAL BATTLE
Cleveland Defeats Nationals
In Last Game of Series
By 4 to 2 Count.

Between attempting to anchor a
Zeppelin flight in the performance OF
Doc Ayers and keeping Lieut.. Johnny
Lavan of the United States Navy.
from being Summarized by this Indian
tribe from Cleveland. Clark Griffith
Of foxy fame. had more than an arm
full yesterday. The result was a vic
tory for the Indians in the final game
of tine series with the Nationals Mt
the Florida avenue ball yard. by a
count of 4 to 2.
1t was off Ayers offerings for six
sessions that did the trick for FohPs
Red Skin tribe. but Lieut. Johnny.
of this U. s. N. fame. had to kick
into that league with a costly boot
that paved the way for their runs.
which proved to be the winning
counters.
milling for the locals and although he
was not himself he gave a pretty
good account under the present emer-
gency pitching corps. Ayers was
hoisted to allow Jimmy Shaw 10
perform. when Cuba Acosta looked
over three fast ones. Jimmy got
away in good shape for the one ses-
sion when he breezed them through
and southpaw Harry Harper finished
out the way by only issuing one base
on balls.
Fandom will remember Guy Nor
ton, who broke into Ban B. Johnson =
circuit with wonderful ability to
shoot through a fast ball-and that
was what this same Guy had yes
terday. Although the Natiopals gath
cred nine blows OF this Indian hurl-
er, Morton showed them more in the
fast ball argument than they have
ever seen and orly the lucks and
breaks of the game gave the Nation
ais a chance to equal the Indians with
their nine safe swats.
The run-getIing occurred In the
third. when Guy Morton drew a pass
and moved aloI-s on Graney's hit
Chapman went down when Speakers $
infield out advanced him. Lieut..
Johnny attempted to play ping poi :
with one OF the bat OF Bobby Roth's
grounder. and both runners Tailed.
These are called the winning runs
but the Indians went to work on
Ayers in the sixth and proved that
they could get them over by the
earned run route
Speaker singled to center and NOV
ed along on AinsInItb's passed ball.
Roth put him up a Ecg with a blow
to left. AMI bob ILnners advanced
on Wamby's sacrifice hit. AIva Will
Jams hit to center, scoring Speaker,
sending Roth to third. and Bobby
dented the pan on Turner's sacri-
flee fly to Milan. on which Johnny
Lavan redeemed himself by haIting
Alva at the second bag.
A quartette of hits was gathered
by the Nationals in their scattered
manner in the first six innings, but
in the seventh Joe Judge lead the
way with a blow to Left. After
Morgan had popped 10 Speaker.
Foster doubled to center placing
Joe at the far corner. Ainsmith
was unable to deliver, but wild
wire" Frank Schultz drew his
seventh base on balls Of the year
and gave Bert a chance tc save the
day.
The fleet footed outfielde- ground

OF old failed to equal the occasion.
and before he had recovered his as
sist and attempt put out by Nor
ton the Nationals had rushed two
runs across the pan, by a sprintin2

TURF CLASSIC
FOR MARYLAND
Preakness Stakes Booked
for Pimlico Track
Today.

One Of the largest crowds In the
history OF Pimlico is expected at the
old Hilltop track this AFTERNOON, to
witness the running Of The Freak
ness Stakes. the turf classic Of Mary
land.
In order that every horse would
have an opportunity to show its real
merit the officials of the Maryland
Jockey Club. announced that the
Preakness would be run in two d.
visions. with $1,000 added money for
each division. Although the original
added money for the event was $1,000,
when the race was split the Jockey
Club decided to give the original
amount for each division.
Twenty-six horses are slated TO face
the barrier this afternoon. there be-
ing three stable entries.
In the drawing for the starters in
the first division. II was announced
that the first twelve picked would
were counted as one, and all three
OF the stable entries were drawn to
start I'm the first division. The first

The first section contains the class
Of the entries with War Cloud, Lanius,
George Starr. ouietude, Flags and
other cracks. Jack Hare. Jr., The
Porter and Arrah Go On start in the
second division.
The dividing Of the Preakness was
the cause Of much comment among
the horsemen at Pimlico as to the
relative merits of the winners of the
two divisions. II is probable that a
match race will be arranged by the
Jockey Club for the two winning
horses.
This race in all probability would
be run on Friday. the closing day of
the meeting, and such a race would
be most fitting event TO close the
greatest season of racing in the his
tory Of the old Hilltop track.

Hunts Racing Association, In the
shape Of race for army men which

camps In this section of the coun-
try have signified their willingness

other for the valuable trophies
which will be awarded the first
three riders. While the entries for
the other features will close
today. in all likelihood the list will

CHANCE FOR WILLARD
FULTON MATCH In N. J.

New Jersey would like to stage the
Willard Fulton match. John S. Smith, of
Atlantic City, chairman of the newly or
ganized boxing commission. which con-
trolls the sport. now egalized in the state
under the Hurley act. has announced.
He declares that the state would well
come the bout, but emphatically adds
that the profits must be pledged for the
Red Cross. Eight rounds re permitted in
New Jersey. and it is believed that the
heavyweight classic would bring a larger
attendance at Atlantic City than ny
where else ain the United Sites. The
close proximity to Philadelphia. New York
and ready railroad facilities nd connec-
tionS to all sections of the country assure
great crowd and visitors upward of a
half million could easily be accommodated
at the hundreds of hotels there.
