MIN.
Unless the local hurting is of a far
better caliber than that presented
yesterday Bagby will not have to dis
play a very high order of finging 10
match the verdict obtained by Ray
Caldwell. The slim one had only one
had session-the fifth. In this frame
Harris and Shanks singled in success
sion, and after both Jim O'Neill and
Charity had popped fouls back of the
plate Pinch-hitter Zachary doubled
down the left field line and Judge
rined a single to right, all of which
was good for the two tallieS credited
to the Griffs. Zach's ill-advised at
tempt to score from second ended the
rally. Wamby's relay of Smiths peg
tagging him by mile.
Tribe Piles Up Early Lead.
Caldwell was sailing along under a
seven-run lead at the time the Ma
tionals started to act up. SO he was
not particularly concerned. His mates
started amassing this advantage for
him in the second when. following
Smiths single, Gardeners sacrifice. a
walk to Johnston and Brewers muff
OF Steve O'Neilrs fly, Shaw pitched
four straight balls to Caldwell. fore
poked single to center. good for
two more.
Doubles by Smith and Gardner
and Johnston's one-sacker produced
another pair of alien tallies in the
third and marked the passing of Shaw.
Biemiller, who succeeded him, was
reached for a marker in the fourth,
when Caldwell scored on his single,
safety by Jameson and Wamby's
death, and another was added in the
fifth. when Steve O'Neill's liner fol-
lowed Smiths safety and Gardeners
sacrifice. Zachary then halted the
Tribe for a couple of rounds. but
yielded a counter in the eighth when
Lunte. Jameson. Wamby and Speaker
singled in succession.
Smith Is Hitting Well.
Jameson and Smith set the pace for
their mates-an of whom crashed into
the hit column-with three blows
apiece. and the latter was robbed of
a fourth safety when Judge leaped
high to clutch his terrific liner In the
seventh. It seems to make no differ
ence to Elmer what variety of finger
he faces. The day before he clouted
a homer and single on Courtney. q
southpaw. and now boasts the rather
nifty average Of $50 for the series.
Incidentally he has registered ex-
actly half Of Clevelands total Of ten
runs here to date.
Harris and Shanks were the only
Grifs able to fathom Caldwelfs stun
with any degree OF consistency. Each
got two raps and Stanley was winged
once.
Caldwell narrowly escaped serious
injury in the second inning, when
~Hy" Brewer walloped one back at
him. The ball struck Slim amidship
and he barely had time to get his
hands up to break its force.
Speaker shows How to Peg.
Speaker gave q fine exhibition of
pegginF when he grabbed Shanks'
single in right center and lined 1t
souarely into the hands of Wamby to
erase Hank sliding into second.
Brewers error was the mufhng OF
a Texas Lacquer from Steve O'NeilIs
bat, after a long run, in the second. 1t
was the indirect cause of the three
runs which followed.
Rice's miscue was on his peg to the
plate to flag O'Neill in round 2 The
ball struck Steve on the dome and
bounded to the stands, permitting
Caldwell and Jameson to take an ex-
ira base
Shanks gave a new version Of the
hidden bali trick in the fifth. Caldwell
was on second when Hank made
diving stab of Wamby's smash. He
scram bled to his feet with the ball in
his hand just in time to tag Slim as
he raced by.
Harris saved Zach considerable en-
barrassment in the NTH when he
speared Smiths hopper, tagged
Speaker on the line and ferried to
Judge to complete double play.
