straight loss and the players apparently
are beginning to wilt under the strain.
Ltngrel, a mediocre twirIer. downed the
Indians yesterday without much effort.
They got their hits, but they didn't con-
meet when hits meant runs. On the other
hand the Brewers slammed the ball al
over the lot at opportune times and they
quickly ran up a run total Two home
runs came in the first inning and the

not hit up to standard. In the last
three games the Indians have scored

'"There was nothing in that whole hght
that showed either man one bit clever.
Carpenter is a pretty good lighter, but 1

classes with those fellows.
Carpenter has the fastest right hand
I've ever seen, and I've seen lot OF COCO
rights in my time, But he showed moth
ing at all in the clever line. The fellow
is cat. He watches for openings and
unless his opponent is quick as a fash
or has an iron jaw, Carpenter will give
him lot of trouble.
Dempsey didn't show me any clever

fight were full of tall Of speed and clev-
erness, but I didn't see any Of 1t.

a big, strong fellow, with a pile driver

That would be murder. Right now there
