Those sturdy Cleveland Indians beat
the Yanks again on the Polo Grounds
yesterday, but this time the Ohioans did
not win because of the sheer weight
and superior calibre Of their artillery,
Truck Hannah let fly a pair Of wild
alps in the second inning which made
him as popular with the fan colony as
a sand fly on n Long Island beach.
Hannah's sharpshooting nevertheless was
duly appreciated by Lee Foil, the In
dian chief, who smiled swsetly to show
his appreciation. Those pegs were Of
material aid and comfort to Cleveland
In scoring two runs, and two runs with
Stan Coveleskie pitching 10 quite lead.
The Yankees fought to the last ditch.
They put on pretty rally in the eighth.
Two runs were In. two Yanks were on
base and two were out when the Hon.
Ping Bodle famed, leaving the home
club still one run short Of q tie. The
score was to 3.
AZ the White Sox also won, the tie
for FIRST place between Cleveland and
chicago stu continues. The Yanks now
are lagging thirty-two points behind
the leaders.
seventh Victory for CoveIeskie.
Stanley Coveieskie chalked up his sew
enth straight victory at tho expense Of
the Yankees, though they made 1t quite
interesting for him. The one comfort
that the New Workers. can extract from
this Coveleskie situation 10 that Harry
Covsleslde. the left handler, now In out
Of the league. and only one member Of
tho family can pick on them.
While the Rupert and Huston club
hit Covsleskie for only seven safeties,
the collection contained some regular
hits. Roger Peckinpaugh, once known
as batting weakling, slapped his sec
ond homer into the left field bleachers
in the last three days; Pipp smacked
far into right held fer a triple. and
Baker dashed out a double. Had P!pp
saved his triple for the eighth inning
instead Of raising q dinkey pop to short
we might have a different story to tell
Jack Quinn opened UP for the Yam
KEGS and twirled a fine game as long
as he lasted. Jack was the victim Of
that wild pesEing episode of Hannah's
in the second. While Quinn has pitched
grand ball this spring, he hasn't had
any luck to speak Of. He has been
mixed up in a lot of TO games and
other contsets which poor support lost
for him.
Higgins evidently intends to use Al
Wichland as a pinch hitter until a hit
flies out OF him. Since this former
Brave has been attached to the Yank
payroll he has been called on three
times to do something IN behalf Of q
weak hitting battery man. Twice he
has struck out. and yesterday while bat

Mogridge came in after Quinn LETT
the game and soon got in trouble up
to his neck. They Allied the bases on
him with none out. but George got out
OF the mess with only one run scored
against him. 1t would have been better
baseball to have kept Quinn in the
game.
Cleveland started It's scoring with two
runs In the second. Gardener opened with
high bounder over Quinn's head which
proceeded out to the outfield for a sin
