catch of hard hit drive from the
bat of Jameson after a long run in
the second inning was a sparkler, but
the play he made at the expense of
Evans in the fourth fairly scintil-
lated. The ball Evans hit was droop-
ing liner to short center. Myers ap-
peared to have no chance whatever to
reach it, but after sharp sprint and
through the medium of a headlone
dive, his fingers closed on the sphere
just before it touched the ground, and
he did not relinquish his clutch until
after he had turned complete
somersault and lay sprawling on the
grass.
Cleveland fans fully lived up to
their reputation as vociferous rooters
in their first world series game. They
had mechanical contrivances of va
rious descriptions to supplement their
vocal efforts and employed all as
generously in recognition of good
plays by the Dodgers as they did in
applauding the efforts of the Indians.
Former Mayor Throws Ball.
Following the time-honored cere-
mony of the tossing out Of the first
ball, performed in this instance by
former Mayor Harry l.. Davis, repub-
lican candidate for Governor of Ohio,

pliers turned the cranks of their ma

An indication of the fate that was

Sewell started Galore on the soapy

a rasping crash toward left, which
Jim Johnston detected just enough to
enable Olson to prevent score by
intercepting it by a quick dash back
on the grass. Galore was lifted at
this juncture in favor of another
right -hander. Mamaux.
Mamaux helped himself out of the
