- CA1iOo.
1t was the army versus the navy at
the start of the contest, when Sergeant
Jim Bagby opposed Rob the Cob on
the mound and the able seaman
stopped the doughboy short. Bagby
was driven to cover ny heavy shell
fire in the first two rounds. while
Shawkey proudly steamed on to the
sailors snug harbor OF victory
Bob should have had shutout, but
an error by himself and another by
his battery maze, WaIly Schang, al
lowed the tribe to push over a run in
the first inning that never should have
dishgured the tally sheet.
1t isn't legal game for the Indians
unless at least three pitchers appear
on the mound, so Morton and keefe
followed Bagby in hurting against the
Yankees. Just why Buster Mails was
restrained from making his daily ap-
pearance is a mystery. However, all
Cleveland hurlers have looked alike
to the Hugmen in their pleasant So
journ at Dunn Field. They pounded
Bagby and Sir Guy for a total Of
twelve hits, even though ten of the
boys padded the thin atmosphere dur
ing the pastime. Long Bob Meusel
and WalIy Schang were distinctly
peeyed over three strike outs apiece,
but Dugan, Scott, Ruth and Pipp made
up for these DEFICIENCIES by their brutal
blows against the enemy finging staff
Sergeant Jim started wrong foot
foremost when he walked White Witt
in the very first inning. Dugan duti-
fully sacrificed, and the Albino kid
rode home in style when Ruth bounced
a triple off the right field wall. Spurred
nv p1$ nj
a home run right over Speakers head
in the center field alley. The total
damage was three runs. TIE Indians
got one tally back in their half of the
session on some Yankee fielding that
ehrew off a distinct odor of fromage
de brie
Shawkey Forces In a Run
After Pipp had made a wonderful
stop on Jameson, Shawkey dropped a
perfect throw at the bag Then when
Wamby had driven line- to Ruth the
Bambino's return bounded past Pipp
and Wally Schang, who was backing up,
let the ball sift right through him, and
Jameson romped to second. Shawkey
lost control momentarily Jameson
was forced by Speaker, but Woods's
short single and ak to Sewell filled
the bases. The deep sea sailor by this
time had no idea whittier the ship was
drifting, and four wide shots at Larry
Gardner forced Speaker over the pan
with g gift run.
The second inning resulted ir COM
plete disaster for Bagby. The ex-sol-
der went down fighting bravely. while
bombs burst all around him. A walk
to Ward. single by Scott and a ludi-
circus miscue by Iris Speaker when he
trapped Shawkey's short fly filled the
bases. Singles by Witt and Dugan
scored three runs and Sergeant Jim
was carried off the field in a wheel
barrow. Morton made another of his
frequent sallies into the battles Of this
campaign. Sir Guy halted the Yankee
rally and held the Hugmen to a single
tally III the next five innings besides
tanning six of the enemy. The run off
Morton came in the fourth on success
sive Singles by DUNCAN, Ruth and Pipp.
In the meanwhile Shawkey had found
his bearings and was steering straight
course to victory. The tribe got
feeble hit ever and anon. but for the
part they were very good Indians and
rolled over and played dead at the
threatening motions of Battling Bob
Morton was withdrawn for pinch hit
ter in the seventh, and Dave Keefe was
the third Cleveland hurler of the day.
He was wild, but the Yankee couldn't
hit him. and no scores resulted during
his stay on the mound.
