JOE HARRIS MAKES GOOD
WITH CLEVELAND INDIANS

Joe Harris, the big hrst baseman
who reported late to the Cleveland
Indians last summer, more than
made good. In sixty-two games he
swatted the apple for an average of
1915, just nine points behind the Am
mortal Tyrus Raymond Cobb. Z So
nifty was his work, Harris drove Doc
Johnston to the bench.
Harris served overseas, training at
Camp Lee, Virginia. Just before leav-
ing France he was injured in a mo-
tor car accident and, for a time, it
was feared that his baseball days
were done. However, he finally
landed in Hoboken and soon appeared
in 4 Cleveland uniform. Once he got
started, Doc Johnston never had a
chance at that frft base berth. Now
Cleveland fans look for Harris to be
there in 1920.

anything about it, nor did Veach.
But it looked as if that Is the way

Veach is usually one of the first
