WINGO HITTING .3I2
Nv EDWIN ]. POLLOCK

TT WAS a long afternoon of whaling
out at the Shibe home yesterday. The
double rastiming stretched over four
hours and fifteen minutes and our ath-
letes got kicked in the same place twice
by the Tribe terrors of Cleveland.
There were base hits by the score
Fact is, there were almost as many
bingles as there were spectators. No
fewer than fifty three flew to the outer
works or slipped through the infield.
Those fifty three wallops were good for
exactly seventy two sacks. SOME
CLOUTING!
The scores of the pastimes is evi-
dence sufficient of the brand of pitching
that was displayed before the few hun
dred who spent their voting half holi-
day at the baseball manufacturing plant.
The first engagement went to the imper
tiuent Indians, SO, and they also
grabbed the second tilt 1913.
Not only did the fans see a lot of hits
and a lot of baseball but they also saw
n lot Of ball players. There were
twenty three athletes who got their
names in the first box score and twenty =
eight in the second. Mack saw to it
that some of his men did something to
earn their pay envelope.
Indians Rude
TRIS SPEAKER and his tribe we're
l. exceedingly rude to our young pitch :
prs from Atlanta. They chased Bob
Hasty from the hill in the first game
and then beat up Mr.. Roberts so thor
oughly in the closing battle that he,
too, was forced to retire in the early
innings.
Hasty beat hasty retreat. He
lasted only three innings and then jim
Cling Johnson took up the work and
made very neat job of it. In the six
frames in which he toiled Jing per
mitted only five hits. and that's going
some for a Mack finger. The As
pasted Stan Coveleskie hard in the
opening engagement, but the Pole was
there in the pinches.
For two innings Roberts looked like
million dollars. and thereafter he
looked like German mark. he al
lowed two hits in the first two frames
and exploded in the third, the Indians
clouting him for eight runs. Uhle also
was bumped roughly. He gave way to
Elmer Myers in the third, and although
Elmer also was winged often he was
safe behind the power of the Cleveland
clubs.
The Mighty Smith
0NE individual fattened his batting
" average considerably. The mighty
Smith swung his slcdge for six hits out
of eight times up. The Indians out
fielder had a double, triple, four sin
giles and four runs. Quite an active
day for any ball player.
There were two homers during thu
afternoon. Steve O'Neil lifted Hast!
pitch into the left field bleachers in thu
first game when two of his pals were OF
base. George Burns got the other cir
cult clout, but there was nobody on a
the time.
