YANKEES BEATEN
IN SLUGGING FEST
Cleveland Furnishes Four Home
Pitchers and Triumphs by
Score of Is to 8.

There Is no understanding the myste-
rious ways of the Yankees and their
pitchers. Take the case of Jacques Quinn,
alias John Picus. Jack was twirling
wonderfully up to the Fourth OF July.
He pitched three. four and five hit games
almost every time out. but the Yankees
developed an uncanny habit of losing
Quinns games by such scores as to o
and to 0.
Now that the Yanl1s got Jack a bushel
OF runs every time he mounts the pitch
ing peak, Quinn is being pounded like
the veriest busher. In his recent game
against the Tigers eight runs In nine in
nings couldn't bolster him up, and he
lost in the tenth, IA to s. Yesterday on
the Polo Grounds the Yanks got him
nine, but that proved a mere bagatelle
beside the Cleveland output The Indians
belabored a quartet of Yank pitchers
and won the third game of the series by
a score OF is to 3. 1t was another of
those long winded arguments, lasting
two hours and thirty-flve minutes,
Cleveland sends back its pitchers just
as fast as the Yankees knock them out.
Sergeant Jim Bagby. WHO was shelled
out last Saturday, was blown from the
mound in the first inning yesterday.
Then Elmer Myers, knocked out in the
first round on Sunday, tried 1t again.
The terrific cannonading behind him en-
abled Elmer to weather several tough
gales.
1t was a scoring riot on both sides.
iris Speaker. the new Indian chief. car
ried in five runs out Of six times at bat.
He got three hits. two passes and once
reached base on force Larry Gardner
collected two doubles. two, singles and a
pass in six times up and played q re-
markable fielding game.
Three Yankee home runs went to
waste, Pipp, Bodie and Lewis lifted
them over the garden walls, and the
homers were good for six Of the nine
Yankee runs. Smiths long Aomer of
Quinn in the fifth with Speaker on base
tied the score for Cleveland and knocked
Quinn out
There was criticism Of Higgins for
permitting Quinn to stay in as long as
he did. But who else did the midget
manager have to send in in his place?
Ernie Shore, who eventually succeeded
him, was a feeble rescuer. In the
seventh the Indians smashed back on
a line everything that he put over.
Then Walter Smallwood and Frank
O'Doul dubbed around in the last three
innings, prayerfuly hoping that some
body would strike out or pop up.
Cleveland start. Early.
Cleveland started in to butcher Quinn
in the first and whaled him for three
runs. Chapman sent stiff single to
centre and romped around to third
when Speaker beat out a high bounder
to Quinn. Smith hit TO Pipp. who threw
too late to the plate to get CHAIRMAN
Gardner began his heavy day with
double to right, sending in Speaker
with his first OF five runs. Wambys
sacrifice fiy lifted in Smith.
The Yanks came back gamely and
put Quinn back in the game by bang
ing over four runs in their half. Two
were out when all the bin-banginy
against Bagby started. Baker and
Lewis knocked out clean singles and
Pipp tied the score with homer into
the right field stand. Even then the
Yanks refused to stop. Pratt ribbed a
fierce single through Chapman and
Bodie walked. Del scored on Ruel's
single. Then Myers was summoned and
he retired Quinn.
The Yankees advanced their lead to
three runs by getting Quinn two more
runs in the third. Pipp walked and
took third on Bodies single Ruel
squeezed Wallie home. and when Myers
elected to throw to the plate Ruel was
safe on first. wild throw by Myers
advanced Bodie and Ruel each a base.
Speaker declined to catch Quinn's short
fly behind short, but threw out Bodie
at the plate when he tried to score.
Fewster then singled to left. scoring
Ruel.
Smiths Blow Ties Score.
The Indians got one run back in the
fourth when Johnston doubled and
scored on Ruel's two base wild throw
on Graney. Cleveland tied the score in
