SEVENTH is "LUCKY
INNING FOR RED SOX

Fosters triple and single by
Paschal gave the Red Sox a tally in
the opening round of the early con-
test, and some sloppy fielding by
Charity and Brewer gave them an
other pair in the fifth. The Griffs
were helpless before Pennock until
the seventh. when they proceeded
to tie it up. With Rice disposed
of, Brewer was credited with a
double on a short fly Hooper ran a
mile for and could not hold. He ad-
vanced on Shanks' death and scored
on O'Rourke's single. Prothro sent
O'Rourke to third with a single and
both tailed on Gharrity's drive to
left center which Paschal lost in the
sun. and was recorded as a double.
The Sox promptly went about the
task of amassing the winning coun-
tiers. Foster and Menosky singled
in succession. Pinch-Hitter Bailey
hunted to Shaw and Prothro, who was
drawn off the bag. failed to get back
in time to take Jim's throw and force
Foster Rice took McInnis fly and
hold Foster at third. Shaw then
slipped over a third strike on Schang
but Scott, with two hits already to
his credit, manufactured another and
two Sox reached the dish.
Brewer and Shanks connected tot
singles in the ninth, but received no
help. Claire Shirley made his big
league bow by hurting the final frame
against the Sox. the damage to his
delivery being limited to double by
Foster.

In all probability. more base ball
fans the country over are pulling for
Cleveland to win the right to play IN
the world series than all the other
clubs combined. There are, of course,
many reasons for this condition.
Cleveland never has won a major
league pennant. In addition, Tris

club a universal favorite, for great

Those familiar with the workings
of the American League will tell you
that the club has been most capably
handled. AS a matter of fact, no one
thing in the American League, uniesS
it be the home-run record OF BABE
Ruth, stands out more prominently
than the work of iris Speaker as the
leader of the Cleveland club. Speaker
has proved beyond doubt that ne Is
a truly great manager. Whlle l al
ways realized his great worth as a
player and recognized him as one OF
the brainiest men 1.-THE game, yet
had no idea that he would SO readily

been forced to jockey his staff to the
limit to get results.

Under such conditions Speaker has
proved himself to be really great
manager, because he has gotten every
ounce of playing strength out of his
club. He has been a severe task
master, but he has asked nothing OF
his athletes but what he has willing
ly done himself. He has refused to
league leaders have been prone to
overlook He has insisted that his
club play heads-up base ball, and
woe be to the player who failed to
come up to his requirements.
Speaker has had the unanimous
support of his players. because at no
time has he fallen down on the job.
Never has he failed to run out a
hit, no matter how easy an out he
appeared to be. Never has he loafed
on the job. Never has he pulled a
.bonehead play" He set an example

reason why the Cleveland ball club
has been in the thick of the fight
from the very start, even with pitch
ing that at times was rather
mediocre. From a managerial stand
point Speaker has been the shining
light of the American League lead
ers in the 1920 campaign.
