CLEVELAND, July 17!-That tre-
mendous outbursr OF applause ema-
mating from Dunn Field today about
4:3o did not indicate the Redskins
were. trouncing Washington. Far
from it. 1t was ironical applause
rendered to the tribe when win
much. effort IL finally succeeded in
retfrfng the Nationals in the sixth
inning after they had scored nine
runs washington winning IS to ..
For fifteen or twenty minutes it
LOOKED as IL the Indians never
would succeed in getting Washing
ton out in that particular round,
for there was nothing that either
slender Caldwell nor Guy Morton
could throw to the plate in that
chapter. that could deceive the Nat
batters.
Passes and Errors Help.
To make the rout complete. Slen-
DER Caldwell inserted two passes
and his support hung up two errors,
one of cimmission, the othe: or
omission. But when Riggs Ste
phenson finally chased into short
center to wind his fingers around
Earl" Smiths anemIc fly for the
third, out of the inning. the $1,000
spectators could not resist indulS-
ing in mock applause.
Caldwell was a wizard for five
innings lie was anything but n
wiz in the sixth. During the first
five rounds he struck out four,
passed none and allowed only four
hits. one OF which was Il fluke. a

run Scored off the telegraph opcr-
ator.
II Slender were debating this
story he probably would say:
Just write about those first hve
innings and draw the curtain on
what happened in the SIXTH
1t is difficult, however, to ignore
an inning in which thirteen men
went to bat and scored nine runs.
But why blame Caldwell, Morton
or 6ther Indians directly implicated
in the massacre, when President
jim Dunn really was the ono at
fault. Jim had thirteen persons in
his private presidential box. and
what else COuld be expected than
that Washington would go out and
get thirteen runs on thirteen hits
Interviewed on the subject after
the-game was ended. Dunn said:
You may quote me as saying
there never will be thirteen in my
box again"
But, to get back to Caldwell and
his remarkable reversal of form.
he could make the old baseball Tx
for five innings.
Blows I'm sixth.
Then. the eminent pitching teller
rpher and Larry Gardner got their
wires crossed. Sam Rice laid down
a buut. Both Ray and Larry ran
to greet it. One remained to well
come a throw at third.
Caldwell made a great pick-up
He whirled to throw to third anl
discovered a mo one home sign
hung up there as result, Rice
drew a tainted hit. the bases were
crowded and Manager SSpokc pro-
ceeded to pluck some more grass.
Then II happened. Earl Smith dou-

ican Leagues most tanned athlete
Exit Caldwell. Enter Norton.
Washington already had four runs.
1t gathered five more before Nor
ton managed to gre the third out

cred three more in the ninth was
not Guys fault. Joe SewelI began
the round with a boot, Guy walked

Shinault tried out his throwing arm
by hurling Miller's bunt to the right
field wall. thus breaking the Amer
lean Leagues throwing record for
catchers
Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary, Of
