CLEVELAND. July s1.-when
minor Lacquer knows . big league
scodt 10 looking him over. nine
timps out Of ten he becomes
nervous and fails TO display his
best game Possibly that Is why
thssNationals today did not even
pst~up . good amateur game and
wers beaten IL to 5. by the Indians.
You see. Joe Birmingham and
Charley Hickman. Cleveland scouts.
wee In the grand stand and the
Nau probably thought they were
there for the purpose. of getting a
line on the Milanites. II Birming-
harn and Hickman had any such
Intsntions. they wasted their after
noon. for the Mats. outside of.
jude and Stan Harris. looked very
bad
Zach Han Control.
Lefty Zachary. Milan's original
pitching nominee. had nothing ex-
eept control. Briilheart and Young
blood. his successors. did not have
even that. Zachary blamed Catcher
Picinich for his failure to deceive.
white Catcher Charity. who An
ishsd behind the bat. could not
throw. Half of the infieid> could
not handle the bali cleanly, while
the 7outfieiders finished the contest
all !. but exhausted Otherwise,
Washington looked great
II was in the third inning that
Manager Milan decided Zachary's
control was too good. AS Cleveland
had scored only seven runs at
that time. We don't know who
tipped him off He walked out to
the box and told Zach he could
take the rest of the afternoon or
as he had a relief coming on TO
take his place.
Zach. however seemed reluctant
to depart. He could no; see how
he Gould be blamed as Cleveland
had only eight hits. including two
doubles and a home run OF him,
and by his motions appeared 1"
wish to throw the blame on Pici-
mich.
Five steals on Pat.
Kid Brillheart was the o s.
pitcher and when the Indians kept
slapping him on the wrist. Milan
possibly arrived at the conclusion
thai Zachary may have been right.
At any rate. he called on Charity.
who has been out of the game for
ten-dayp because of a lame throw
ing arm. to finish behind the bat.
The shift appeared TO be effective.
for where the Indians had been
scoring from two up to an inning
they now were content with q
single tally.
But. with the arrival of Char
rity. the Indians proceeded to play
to his weakness and the order was
handed out: IF you get on. steal
second. II you get to second. steal
third. and II your reach third. steal
home"
the Redskins proceeded to steal five
bases and missed a couple of 9TH
ers only when the batsnan elected
to swat the ball. Working one
double steal. they tried another
with Steve O'Neill elected TO make
the dash for home as Jameson
sprtnted for second. Jamieson-ful-
filled his part all right but Harris
return throw to the plate nailed
O'Neill by an inch or SO.
Pound YosngblooA, Too.
After three innings of Brillheart
Milan called upon Albert Young
blood. his Cherokee Indian chief.
to 10 the rest of the route. You
would have thought our Cuyahogs
tribe would have had a kindly feel
inz. for a Cherokee. But nothing
doing. They had just as much
sympathy for the real Indian a.
they had for Charity with his sore
whD and proceeded to score four
more runs and make their total
fourteen
At the outset of the contest. the
Mats acted as II they intended
to chase Guy Morton to the show
ers.- forthwith. Harris hitting for
a Single and Judge and Goslin
helping with doubles But. Guy
rode easy the rest Of the way and
finished upder wraps. allowing only
nve his and three runs in the LAST
eight innings.
Umpire Hiidebrand was hit by a
foul tip on Harris bat in the first
dians-bench for repairs. The ump
was not badly hurt and continued
in the game.
Francis win probably pitch the
nnsf game Of the series tomorrow.
Covel6kie will be on the mound
for the Indians
