CLEVELAND. Ohio. July 30.-Ev-
erything went wrong in today's
game between the Indians and
Washington Nationals after the
event had been planned and the
stage set for Olaf Erickson to dem
onstrate to his hometown folks just
how simple It was. to hang the
proverbial crepe on the Indians'
wigwam. But the tables were
turned on Olaf to the tune of II to 3.
jamestown. y. Y. had, fulfilled Its
part of the program and several
hundred fans were in the stands to
cheer the Swede on to victory. Be
fore the game was started Erickson
was presented with a gold watch by
his admirers. and he promised to
reciprocste by sending them all
home talking about the easy manner
in which their fellow-townsman
stood Speakers aggregation on their
heads.
UhIe shows Glass.
Uhle. the lad tEat' was waiioped
all over the spacious hail yard by
Milan's ethletss yesterday. was sent
right back today to get revenge. He
retired the visitors in the first, but
only some Sensational fielding on the
part of Stuffy McInnes. who cavorts
around the initial sack for the To-
Gals. saved him from being
scored on.
Rice opened the fracas with a line
single to CENTER Harris attempted
to sacrifice him on. but had a little
pop fly back of the pitchers box.
The ball was too far back for Uhle
to get and apparently was a safe
hit. "Stufy" galloped over and
made a One-handed catch near the
ground and with a throw to Uhle
on first easily doubled Rice. who was
on his way to third. Judge followed
with a one-ply wallop. Judge tested
o'Neill's throwing arm and found
it in good condition. being retired
when he tried to steal.
Grins Tie Count. -
Cleveland hammered the first nail
in Erickson's chances to lick then,
in the opening ipning when Speaker
sent wamby. who had walked. over
the plate with a long double to the
center field fence.
The Nationals were retired one
two-three in the second and third
were obtaining their hit per inning
OF the Swede. but it avaiIed them
naught. for Erickson would apply
the brakes when runs threatened
and the following stick-wielders
would pop meekly out
The jamestown delegation had
their first opportunity to try out
their lung power in the fourth
when walk to Judge was fol-
lowed by singles by Goslin and
Brewer. One run went over and
man was on first and third
Shanks' best effort was a pop fly
back of second that apparently
was impossible for any player to
negotiate wamby ran toward
right and speared the spere with
one hand. cutting off two Wash
fngtOn runs. 1t seemed impossi-
hle for the Nationals to get go
ing. Some sensational catch or
stop always stopped them in their
tracks.
Erickson Blows.
Erickson's smile was visible
throughout the stands when Judge
crossed the plate with the tieing
run. but 1t quickly vanished for
the Clevelanders again stepped to
the front in their half of the same
inning. Sewell hit for one base
and scored when O'Neill smacked
one to the centerfield bleachers.
O'Neill is as fleet footed as a snail
and consequently converted a home
run into a double by. his speed on
the paths.
The sixth inning spelled disas-

IN particular. Sewell opened with
