CLEVELAND, Sept. 23.-The Yankees
moved nearer the mathematical cer-
tanty to-day when they beat the In
dams in the second game of this
rather mild series by tho score Of Ito
s. While the completion Of actual
victory was a pleasant thing Il see by
those who are anxious that this long
awaited mathematical certainty DC
reached. the fact that .he Yanks came
from behind to win this victory was
Ethe most significant thing. The morale
OF the expeditionary forces certainly
seems to be unshakable.
Sad Sam Jones started for the Yanks.
but was knocked loose from his hrogans
in the fifth by a barrage of heavy hits.
One OF these was homer by young
summa. another a freak home run
which was shot through wire net
ting by Gardner Hoyt went in when
Samuel went out.
Sherrod Smith. who started for the
Indians. had some hard luck In the
seventh and the Yankees started to
plaster him. Smith. you viii recall
used to work for Charles IL. Ebbets, the
GOOD old Squire OF .Flathush. Being
eft handler he annoyed the Yanks for a
while. He was replaced by Uhle.
The tying run was driven in by wal
ter Pipp. who continued his habit of
smashing them out at what are some
times called the psychological moments.
The winning run was brought across IN
the eighth by Wallie Schang. who SIM
gled and scored on couple Of passes,
wild pitch and a sacrifice fly which
was lifted by Elmer Smith.
