New-York tribune., 1919-08-11


The Indians began to look about as
badly disorganized as the league of
nations in the first inning. Myers, who
started for Ban Johnson's favorite
team, went wild and his support went
wilder. While Tristram Speaker pro-
tested between times to both umpires
the Yanks brought five runs across and
at the end of the inning Toney Faeth,
a recruit from the two and three-quar
ters per cent city of Milwaukee, was
working for the Indians.
Fewster got his base when Myers
nicked him on the arm with a wild
one. Wick beat an infeld hit and went
to second when Gardner made a wild
heave to head him off. Baker got his
base on balls and filled the cushions.
Three Yanks Score
Duffy Lewis, the niftiest dresser in
organized baseball, the claims of
Benny Kauf, notwithstanding, chose
this inopportune time to strike out.
But Wallie Pipp. Picking Pipp, lashed
hit to left field. In his feverish anx-
iety to check the influx Of Yankee runs
Graney made wild heave to the plate
The ball rolled into the Yankee dugout
and Fewster, Wick and Baker scored,
while Pipp continued on his way to
third.
At this stage of the proceedings
Tristram Speaker advanced to the plate
and started to make an Grafton. He
seemed to possess quite a flow of lam
guage and Umpire Hildebrand seemed
to possess considerable patience, FOR
the inning lasted half an hour. In the
mean time the Indians had time to
warm up the relief pitcher
Derril1 Pratt was struck on the wrist
by a pitched ball Bodie shot one to
Chapman, who made a wild throw to
first and Pipp scored. Another mar, wa,
called and Tony Faeth was hurled into
the breach to check the rush of the
furious Ianks. Ruel was thrown out
by the relief pitcher and Pratt scored
Faeth got himself out Of tough
position in the third. The bases were
filled by couple of passes and hit
by Pipp. Faeth struck out Ruel and
Mays was thrown out by Wambsganss.
Umpire Is Suspicious
There was little commotion in the
Cleveland half of the first inning when
the Indians demanded that Umpire
Hildebrand examine the league ball
with which Carl Mays, the hero of MANY
injunctions, was deceiving the trusting
Indian battcrs. After lingering the
pellet for while Hldebrand found
nothing on it but trace of brains. Ban
Johnson has not yet prohibited pitchers
from using brains in the American
League.
Francisco Pizzola, whose ambition is
to show up iris Speaker as centre
fielder. flashed like a comet, then
Topped like moving picture custard
pie in the third. The impulsive Latin

after declaring to the world in general,
II got it,"
1t was newspaper mems day in the
press box and actors were barred for
the afternoon. One of the INDIGNANT
Thespians had to be hurled from the
box five times. After the fifth eviction
the actor was heard to observe, "Bless
my soul; | am beginning to think that
they don't want me in there" And they
say actors don't think.
The Indians started to touch up Carl
Mays in the fifth. The injunction does
not restrain an opposing batter from
hitting him. Discovering this. Chap
man bounced triple off the right field
wall After Speaker had fouled out
Smith shot hit through short and
Chapman scored. Gardner was thrown
out by Pratt. Then Wambsganss dashed
one down to Pratt, who made Won
derful stop. johnson hit through
short and Smith scored.
The Yanks picked up another in the
fifth. Pipp beat a hit to Wambsganss.
Pratt swung on wide one and landed
