By FREDERICK @. LIEB.

After all. baseball luck evens itself
up pretty well in the long run. Last
Fiiday the breaks were all with Clevc-
land. The Yanks were three putouts
from victory when It became too dark
fo- further combat. But yesterday the
hckl. goddess OF baseball luck smiled
sN eetly on the Yankees. They were as
lucky as q man who slips on q banana
peel and comes UP with a ten dollar
note clenched In his fist.

About $4,000 Fans See Game.
There was quito a motley throng in
attendance. About $4,000 fans visited
the Harlem emporium to see for them
, selves whether the Indians are as fierce
as they have been painted. It was the
second best crowd that the Tanks have

Herb Thormahlen. who was Knocked
out of the box in the FIRST TIT Of the
set. put on a strong come back yester-
day. The Indians maoed the Jersey left
harder for ten hits but they didn't
know what to do with them. The only
time an Indian scored was when iris
ST eaker parked the ball into the right
geld stand with two out in the NTH.
Thormahlen wasn't afraid to take
chances. either. Twice he Intentionally
passed that peslty little O'Neill, once

II proved good strategy. as the Indians
failed to score IN either inning. Eleven

Speaker was clearly out of his territory
when Peck hit long ny TO deep left

run for the ball. but he was prepared to
take II, when Speaker dashed In front
OF him and momentarily caught the ball.
But the two men met In a headon col
lision a moment later and the ball was
knocked out OF "Spoke's" hands.
Pipp did some pretty fielding at first
for the Yanks. He saved Peck two
errors and Pratt one by smart one
handed catches OF wild throws.
Iris Speaker had one OF his Old fash

two singles in Ave times up.
Yanks First to score.
The Yankees were the first to score,
