Because they dropped the first
Game to tho Indians does not take
the confidence from the Griffs. They
figure that they have now got rid
of the best pitcher on Speakers
staff and that the others. without
exception, will prove far easier.
Stanley Coveleskie, the Indians
pitching ace. has ever been a STUN
bling block to the Grifrs. He was
oughly entitled to his victory. 7

gent. this Coveleskie.
HAS 'EM BUFFALoED.
E covey had tho Grifrs buffaloed
yesterday. They got Just seven hits
all day and In but ono frame were
they able to bunch two together.
That was in the sixth and gave
them their one earned run. At
other times Covey kept them away
from tho plate with consummate
ease
Just one hit. Gharrity's poke that
hit the third bag. was chalked
up against Covey in the first four in
nings, exactly twelve men facing him
in those innings. One hit, Miller's
slap to center, and two bad pegs by
wamby and Bill Burns, gave the homo
boys two runs In the fifth, tying the
score.
In the sixth. though. the Grifs
looked dangerous when Judge opened
with single to right, went up on
Harris sacrifice and scored on Sam
Rice's jolly triple to the scoreboard in
right center. But Brewer bounced
into a double play and never again
were the Griffs really dangerous.
In the ninth Covey filled the bases
with passes to Charity and Milan
after Miller had scratched a bingle
off his glove, but Walter Johnson,
coming up for Al Schacht, forced
Bobby LaMotte. who was running for
the limping Milan, and the days work
was done.
NECK AND NECK.
II was neck and neck affair for
seven innings, first one team leading
and then the other. Sewell's single,
followed by George Burns double,
gave the Indians one in the second
apd in the fourth Larry Gardner's
triple, with Sewell's single. sent
over another.
The Grins tied the score in the
fifth. Wamby's bad peg put Brewer
on and Miller singled to center
Burns came in for Shanks' bunt and
threw 1t out into left field, letting
Brewer over and Miller reach third.
Gharrity's fly to Evans scored Mil
Ter.
So the indians went ahead In the
sixth when, with two out, Sewell
doubled to right and came over on
Burns single to center.
The Griffs promptly evened thu
score in their half when Judge sinel-
ed. went UP on sacrifice and tai
lied on Rice's triple.
The Indians picked up their lead
again in the seventh when Evans
doubled with one gone and came
over on Wamby's hit to left. That
run was enough to win, though thev
did get three more unnecessary tai
lies in the ninth.
ZACHARY FADES OUT.
1t was a fade-out for Jezebel Zach
airy in the eighth. though all the fans
had expected him to vamoose in the
sixth. Wood singled Uhle replaced
him because Woodie bunged up his
foot with a foul before bingling.
Gardner sacrificed and Sewell banged
a single to left.
Out went Zachary and in came J.
Grunting Shaw, the ponderous Pitts
burgh pitcher. James pitched to one
batsman, Burns, who hit into a double
play with a grounder to O'Rourke.
Because Earl Smith hit for Shaw in
the eighth. Al Schacht was on the hill
for tho ninth. just why nobody could
fathom. Nunamaker actually beat out
slow one to short, going up on
O'Rourke's wicked heave. Schacht's
toss of Covey's bunt was too late TO
get Nunamaker at third and two were
on. Jamieson's double sent Nuna-
maker over and Covey to third from
where he tailed on Elmer Smiths
double to right. Gardner drew a pass
but Schacht threw out Sewell and the
Indians were done for the day.
