Toney Faeth. newcomer from Mil

came into the league last Tuesday, and II
was his big league baptism. 1t was a
| tough spot to drop in a youngster before
a 10000 crowd. but he looked to be the
goods. He flelded his position like Hooks
| Wiltse. Faeth remained i'm until the
| eighth, when Joe Harris pinched off a
double for him. Only one run off Faeth
| was earned. Perhaps Faeth should have
been followed by Hope or Charity, but
Ed Klepfer followed him. He is another

Plenty OF Comedy.

there was a lot of comedy interviewer

humor. Perhaps the funniest one was

After Cleveland failed to score in Its
half of the first on single and two
passes, the Yanks got five rather easy
runs in their half. The Indians trans
