Speaker, continued in the direction of
second. His temerity so astonished
Speaker that the throw to second came
slow and Wheat turned the short hit
into a two-bagger.
In the third inning the tow headed
Burleigh Grimes led the attack himself
with clean single to center. Olson
bunted to Sergeant Jim Bagby, who
made rather a poor throw to force
Grimes at second. The Brooklyn
pitcher hurled himself into the air.
hurdling Sewell and reaching the bag
with one hand, while the University of
Alabama alumnus was wondering from
which direction it was raining base
runners. Olson was safe at first
1t began to look as though Bagby
would begin to watch the rest of the
game from the side lines in very few
seconds, but Jimmy Johnston in an at
tempt to bunt lifted a short foul that
was gobbled up by Steve O'Nein.
Tommy Griffith plastered one be-
tween Johnston and Wambsganss, and
in the wild dash for it the gent with
the excess consonants in his name man
aged to carom the pill from his shns
for two-bagger that scored the
Brooklyn pitcher.
This brought up Zachary Wheat with
a man on third and another on second
looked as though the windy plains Of
Flatbush were about to be strewn with
the fragments of Speakers pitching
staff. But Sergeant jim Bagby at this
point used little of that baseball dis
cretion which is the better part Of
baseball valor but not at all popular.
He purposely passed Wheat, filling the
bases.
For this he got the most pronounced
demonstration of the afternoon. He
got low and rumbling growl, for even
the mutely brooding fan seems to re-
tain enough of his interest in what is
going on about him to growl The
growl he will always have with him.
With the bases filed Hy Myers came
up with the chance to bounce the pill
against the horizon and get himself
as much glory az a baseball player
can get in his home town in these icono-
elastic days in the national pastimc.
But Myers batted into one Of the freak
lest and luckiest double plays that ever
was seen, and Sergeant Bagby was
saved.
Myers lobbed one to Larry Gardner,
who threw to the plate for force-out
O'Neill stood on the plate and threw
to first to double Myers, but the ball hit
Myers in the back and started to roll
away. Doc Johnston, the Cleveland
first baseman, picked it up and looked
for the best place to slam it. Griffith
had rounded third and started for the
plate. O'Neill planted himself in the
path toward third and waited Griffith
slid in, but bounced violently of
O'Neill's shins. O'Neill took the throw
from Johnston and, reaching down,
tagged Griffith for the double play.
How the Third Run Was Made
The third run for the Dodgers came
in the fifth inning, with Grimes out.
Olson started it with single to center.
Jimmy Johnston, of the Dodgers, rolled
one down to his brother Wheeler (The
Doc, who is first basing for the in
vaders. Brother Wheeler seemed lit
tie loath to put out brother James, and
held the pill pensively for a while,
glancing toward second, but he finally
passed it to Bagby, and James was out.
Then Tommy Griffith came through
with his second hit. 1t passed midway
between Sewcll and WambsgaYrss and
rolled into center field While il was
rolling Ivan Olson dashed across the
plate with the third and last run of
the afternoon. Thomas afterward
made an attempt to steal second. but
was nlcked by perfect throw by Steve
O'Neill.
Grimes in Trouble in Eighth Inning
Only once did the Indians get
man as far as third base, and only olfce
did 1t look as though they might score.
That was in the eighth inning, when
the splitter of Burleigh Grimes seemed
to be drying up or going badly.
Jameson got base on balls. IN
stantly Speaker sent in Cleveland
George Burns. The splitter was still
mad and Burns got his base on balls
Out in the bull pen, where the
Brooklyn pitchers were doing in what
ever sun there happened to be. Boy
Mamaux started to warm up and other
pitchers began to show signs OF ac-
tivity. iris Speaker came to bat. and
the Cleveland manager. besides being
most of his own outfield, is about the
best pinch hitter there is ON the
Cleveland team and lot of other
teams, too.
