COURTNEY ON SLAB.
Courtney was on the slab when the
Indians came in for their third, and
he promptly passed Stephenson, who
scurried TO second on O'Neill's sweet

What were the Grifs doing to
Coveleskie all this time? Nothing

star was turning them back as fast
as they came up. In five innings
Brewers single was the lone safety

HAD MORE FUN.
The Indians had some more fun
with Courtney and his little pals in
the eighth. Woods single was too
hot for O'Rourke, who promtly threw
1t into the Indians dugout. putting
Wood on second. Larry Gardner
banged the fence in right center with
triple, Brewer playing the drive in
an amateurish fashion. Wood was
ever on the blow. SewelPs hot shot
to short scored Gardner and Stephen
son singled to right. A double steel
by Sewen and Stephenson made
Courtney look sick. but the next
three persisted and he escaped with
these two runs.
Pat Charity staged some Ben
Turpin stun in the ninth when he
came up for Courtney. Evans mis-
judged his drive and it rolled to the
bleachers in left Charity misjudged
first base and, afs-r going one-third
the way to second, retraced his steps,
touched first and then got back to
second safely. Judge followed with
liner to right. Wood went up into
the air for the ball and came down
with it. BY that time Charity had
turned third so Wood threw wildly,
the ball going to the Griffs dugout
Then Charity went back to second
and the umpires had to send him
home. SO. actually. Charity touched
all the bases twice in making that
long run for his team. No sloppier
exhibition OF base running has been
seen anywhere at any time.
Well. any way, the worlds series
flag raising was a complete success
from a Cleveland angle, and why
should Washington have refused to
fill out the picture?
