/. Gives Only Four Hits.

Uhle held the ew Yorks to only four
scattered hits--four much disconnected
singles. One went to Peckinpaugh in
the first. second hit to McNally in
the next round. another to Ruth in
the fifth and the last to Shawkey in
the seventh. Uhle was a bit wild and
handed out six passes. Four of these
were jammed into the first three
innings and gave to the Highlander
a grand opportunity to show what he
could do when the locals threatened.
The Indian finger got splendid sup
port--immaculate support but for an
error by Gardner on McNally in the
ninth.
In the van on attack for the Indians
was Evans, whose double and single
played havoc with New Yorks hopes
His one bagger was responsible indi-
rectly for the scoring of the first run
in the third round, and his two bag
ger emptied the bases In the fourth.
IT was the blow which drove the Yam
kees into confusion and sent them down
for the full count II was a stagger-
Ing slam under the heart and they
never did get their wind back
In the van in spirit was iris Speaker
back I'm centre field when It had been
announced that he would be out OF the
game for the rest of the season. Con-
Tnced that his presence in the fighting
array would bolster UP the Indians
when danger threatened. the great out
fielder took hand In the proceedings
and got fine reception from the fans
We wonder would the baseball followers
of Cleveland have given an ovation to a
Yankee under similar circumstances?
HftIess but Fast in Field.
Speaker could not get a hit In Ave
attempts and reached first on a pass
But in the field he forgot HIS limp and
roved over a terrain which outfielders
with perfect underpinnings could not
hope to cover. He proved that right off
the reel. when he wandered fast and
afield for flies from the bats of Miller
and Meusel in the first
Tas great Ruth suffered severe re-
lapse, and with him went the entire
club. In three tries with the bludgeon
the Babe got single and a pass. In
his other attempt he fouled to Gardner
In the seventh Ruth left the game with
n game leg
To Harry Harper. left handler, went
the assignment of pitching the Yankees
TO a second victory over the Indians
and Harry hurled himself right out of
the game. II had been expected that
Carl Mays would do the flingiDg for the
locals. but Harper does not pitch on
Sundays. so his work was moved for
ward one day. n was a fatal move.
In the first two innings Harper re-
tired the side In order In the third he
got himself into a bad fix by giving
three passes, and his first hit That
bingle brought about two base error
by Elmer Miller. which was responsible
for the run. With Harper suddenly gone
wild the storm signals were set against
the Yankees. once Harry loses his con-
troll IL is total loss. It's dollars to
paper marks that he won't get II back.
CoiInpses I'm Fourth.
The threat OF n total collapse by
Harper became a reality In the fourth
- passed three men. found himself
pasted for brace OF doubles and then
found himself In the clubhouse while
LOB Shawkey went to the relief AS
Shav,.ey had been Knocked out time
and Assin his assignment seemed TO be
regarded as an admission by Miller
Huggins that the game had gone. Shaw
key went the rest OF tho route and gave
six hits and four runs. On only nine
hits the Indians collected nine runs, but
eight passes. and that Miller's error
helped a lot
There were two saliently bad breaks
against the yankees--the first. the spik-
ing OF Harper by Seweli in the second
inning. and the second. Schang's drop
