sHAwKEY IN TROUBLE
BY FREDERICK G. LIEB.

| 5inx day, only to peter out In the late
! innings. Yesterday on the Polo Grounds
! they worked UP a rally in the sixth In
ming that had the lads in the stands do
ing handsprings and punching their feet
| through straw hats. The busy round
enabled the Harlem lads to tie the score,
but then the Indians jumped to the front
asain. Cleveland took the first bout Of
the series by score of 9 to 4.
| 1t seems no matter how hard the Yam
KEGS slug star pitchers In these Saturday
lgames they can't land on top. A week
yesterday they hammered Dutch Leon
ard from the hill. but Detroit won in the
tenth. Yesterday they knocked out
Sergt Jim Bagby, one of the Cleveland
pitching princes, Hy Jasper stepped In
and checked the Yanks Hy gave plenty
OF bases on balls, but he wouldn't let the
Yanks hit when they got on.
The Yanks got little balm for their
reverse when the Senators succeeded In
tripping the White Sox. Still that should
have been the time for the Yanks to
win.
Despite their squabbles with Ban
johnson and his henchmen, the Yanks
are coming money these days. A $4,000
crowd was out to see what iris Speaker
locked like as the new chief of the In
dams. iris has unique distinction
Ho has brought back an old fashioned
institution, the player-manager, to the
major leagues.
shawkey Not Right.
Bob Shawkey. with nearly a weeks
rest, had been groomed just for this
game, but maybe Bob rested up too
long. The former COB wasn't right He
had his troubles getting the ball over the
plate, and very frequently when he did
get 1t over the Indians plastered it.
Shawkey was stung for nine hits. He
walked PIX men and hit another. He
was constantly in trouble, the sixth
being the only one in which no Indian
reached base on him.
Bob continually was squabbling with
George Moriarty. who was calling
strikes and balls" yesterday. George
had been feeling q little under the
weather. and during the Brown series
Hildebrand did all the unpiring behind
the plate. ShawKey argued that George
had been away from home plate duty
80 long that he was unable to recognize
strike when he saw one.
Repeatedly Shawkey waved his hand
at George. This is an old McGraw trick.
1t denotes scorn. and usually gets the
boys in the stand all het up. That's the
way 1t worked yesterday. Shawkey was
not a minority OF one in disagreeing
. with Moriarty. He had many sympa-
, George merely gave Shawkey a bored
' look Before "Morie" reached a stage in
! his life when he took to umpiring and
song writing as a means Of livelihood
he used to play third for the Yanks.
That was In the old Hilltop days, So he
let Shawkey rave and wave.
shawkey Has Friends.
Shawkey was better hitter than a
pitcher In three times up he fired two
healthy singles and a sacrifice Hug
gins lifted him in the ninth 80 that
, Aaron Ward might bat in his behalf
, This also riled Bob's friends. They
turned from Moriarty TO Higgins. Some
how or other the home fans don't thini
much OF Millers pinch hitters. Still the
y outcry would have been worse had A
wickland swung for the popular Bob.
