The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1920-10-13

down to Doc Johnston. Coveleskie
dashed to cover the bag and the pass
slipped by him, but there were two
out when IL happened and Wheat
lifted a pop fly to Wambsganss.
In the second inning Burleigh
Grimes faced Elmer Smith, the native
born Ohioan. who cracked the ball
over the fence with the bases filled
last Sunday but the saliva delivery
of Grimes seemed to be breaking as
planned yesterday. Smith bounded
one down to Kilduff, who made a
pretty stop and fast peg to first.
Gardner poked one down to Jack
Sheehan, the recruit third-baseman
of the Dodgers. Sheehan made a
high. wild throw, high and wild
enough to pass beyond the hooks Of
big Ed Honey. On ground rules
Gardner went to second on the error.
This seemed to make the tow-headed
Grimes impudent. so he passed Doc
Johnston. Two on bases and one out
Griffith Spears One.
1t looked as though the initial drive
of the Indians Was about to start.
Joe Sewell, the Alabama university
alumnus, lined one just inside the
right field foul line and the inmates
started to cut loose just little too
soon. Tommy Griffith dove toward
the line with Kellermanesque grace
and swiftness. reaching the ball with
one hand. Little Peterkin Kilduff
choked the cheers by tossing out
Steve O'Neill and Mr.. Crimes was
all right so far.
The tow headed Mr.. Grimes got the
first hit of the game in the third
after Otto Miller struck out. 1t was
a Texas Lacquer in short left center
and the pill dropped to the ground
after SeWell, Speaker and Jameson
became entangled. Olson was safe
when Sewell fumbled a poke and be-
came bewildered for an instant. Jack
Sheehan bounded hit down toward
second and the ball caromed from
Ivy Olsons shins. That put Olson
out and gave Sheehan a technical
single Tommy Griffith ended all
hope for an onslaught on the splitting
Foie by hosting an easy one to
Smith.
Grimes almost put himself out of
the game in the lnoIan half of the
third inning. Jameson drove siz-
zling liner straight at him and
Grimes knocked it down with his
bare hand, making the throw to first.
Then Burleigh spent some time pull
ing his fingers back into joint He
came back to pitch, however. Wambs-
ganss laid down a bunt in the direc-
ton of Jack Sheehan and beat it to
the bag. Speaker crashed one at
little Peterkin kilduff and it looked
as though the drive would take the
former pride Of the Omaha stock
yards right out of the lot, but Peter
kin blocked the ball and threw out
the Indian manager.
Again in the fourth inning the fin
ish, of Coveieskio seemed to start,
but it did not get any further than
the impending stage.
Wheat Hits One.
Wheat hit the screen on top of the
right field fence He rounded first
ard started to stretch it for a two
Dagger 1t looked that good, but Ell
mer Smith, who knew the territory,
gauged the angle of the rebound 20
a whisker. He nailed the pill and
caught Wheat at second with a per-
feet throw to Wambsganss.
Then came the first crash in the
Indians half of the fourth. With one
out Larry Gardner bounded one just
out of reach Of Kilduff. Doc John
ston drove single to right and sent
Gardner to third. Sewell hoisted one
to short left and Gardner chung to
the bag. He knew that the throw
would beat him. The infield gath
cred around Grimes to debate the
ACCESSIBILITY of passing O'Neill.
The decision was that Grimes
should pitch to him. Suddenly John
ston SLOT towards second. Miller
whiske% the ball to Grimes. John
ston paused just little off second,
seemingly bewildered. 1t might have
been inside baseball. 1t might have
been that he was coaxing a throw,
but 1t did not look like 1t. 1t looked
as though Johnston could be put out
with quick pass to Olson. who was
on the bag. Grimes snapped the
ball and the throw was wide. Gard
ner on third made a dash for the
plate as the saliva coated pillet
rolled into center field. That gave
CoVeleskie one run that looked larger
than the population of Cleveland,
which as they are pointing with pride
here makes the fifth city in the
United States.
The series seemed to be practically
over in the Indian half of the fifth.
With one out Jameson dumped a
hit down in front of the plate and
beat a rather high peg from Miller
to Konetchy He was credited with
a hit. Wambsganss lifted the first
ball pitched to left. Then came
Speakers three-bagger. He drove
the ball into the angle formed by
the newly erected bleachers in right
center and the old center field wall.
Griffith's Effort Futile.
Tommy Griffith dove after it, but
the ball touched just the end of his
glove and whirled around the corner.
Speaker sped on to third while Jami-
eson romped across the plate. There
was some apprehension among the
inmates on the seventh. With two
out Konetchy bounded one down to
Sewell and reached first while the
Alabama college man was finding the
bail. KildUff shot another one at
Sewen and this one was fumbled
earnestly and openly. Then Bill La
mar, the eX-Yank. was sent in to bat
for Otto Miller. He bounded one
down to Wambsganss and the sus-
pense was over and. so it seemed. the
series.
Steve O'Neill opened the seventh
for the Indians with two-bagger to
center field. Coveleskie raped one
to Sheehan and O'Neill was trapped
between second and third while
Coveleskie reached second on the
cunning down process. Jameson
bounced a two-bagger off the right
field wall and Coveleskie scored.
Wambsganss lifted an easy fly to
Myers. iris Speaker got his base
on balls. and Elmer Smith, the local
Babe Ruth. came to bat. Grimes
pitched cautiously and the Ohio can
didate for the hall of swat also got
. base on balls, filling the bases.
Gardner. the timeliest OF the local
sluggers, came to bat and was thrown
out by Peter Kilduff. Mamaux re-
lieved Grimes in the eighth ana got
fid Of the first three Indians. The
crowd began to edge to the exits.
The season of 1920 started to give
