team would not suffer by the loss of

Sergeant Jim Bagby, the best of
the Indian pitchers and the most f
fective against the Yanks, was pitted
against our Mr.. John Picus Quinn. the
eminent spit baller. Bagby was
plastered in the seventh and rather
emphatically in the ninth. John
Picus Quinn was evicted in the
seventh TO make room for a pincher
and Rip Collins finished the game.
Ruth went hitless throughout the
game.
The Yankees got the jump on Ser
geant JIM Bagby in the opening in
ming. With Ward out, Peckinpaugh
cracked single to center. This tp'@v peeved
the Sergeant so much that he heaved
one wild pitch to Ruth, sending Peck
lnpaugh to second. Ruth finally got
his base on balls. and Pratt's long fly
to center gave Peckinpaugh a chance
to make third. Duffy Lewis, who cracks
them when they viii DO the most good
drove single to ccnter and scored
Ieckinpaugh.
The Indians tied the score in the
fourth lnring. Wambsganss, who has
been getting few hits against the
Yanks this year, opened the inning
with slash through the box to center

came up again and plastered triple

The third run OF the Indians came
in the sixth and was the sole property
Of Elmer Smith, who has peeved the
Yankees upon several occasions during
their visits to Cleveland by pounding
them over the wall of League Park in
that city. Smith drove a homer that
bounced against the concrete of the
upper tier in the right field stands and
then bounced out again.
The Tanks started d drive in the
seventh, but some reckless base run

the rally with a two Dagger to left
Pipp singled to center and tried tc

The Indians were leading by one rur

Sergeant Bagby had the Yanks stopped
when Pratt the first Yank up, was
thrown out by Gardner. But the in
