the Indians through the day.
George King Murray, the Rochester
bearcat, was tossed into the ring by
Miller Higgins at the start of the
fracas, and the Smiler was plunging
straight toward victory when he stun
bled in the fifth. He lost his bear
ings in this inning and began TO peg
the ball toward Rochester instead Of
Cleveland with the result that the
mite manager threw rope around him
and hauled him back into the dugout.
Murray was vastly enjoying a two
run lead when this disconcerting move
took him from the field Of battle. but
he was not discouraged or .disheartened
by the recall The way pitchers are
being consumed in this series he may
be in there again tomorrow.
Jones to the Rescue
Samuel Pond Jones, the hard luck
Squire of the Yankee encourage, took
up the burden and held the Indians
within the confines Of their own terri
tory. They scored one run at the
expense of the Squire, but mere run
these days is merely regarded with
lifting Of the eyebrows and disdain-
full sheer Morton was the first Indian
pitcher to fling his slants at the bat
tering Yanks, and Sir Guy took man
sized beating. Five hits and five runs
in the first three innings caused Specs.
er to send up distress rockets and
Buster Mails came rushing to the res
cue.
The Buster has a fondness for pitch
ing to G. Herman Ruth, Esq, but the
Bambno basely betrayed the kind
hearted and portsided hurler when he
slammed the first ball pitched to him
in the seventh inning over the right
field fence for his nineteenth homer.
This hit scored the winning run and
one extra marker. Mails took this
so much to heart that he uttered no
moan of protest when Stephenson bat
ted for him in that same session.
Speaker took this opportunity to insert
George Uhle in the pastime as the
third Indian hurler
The trouble with this series is that
the opposing batters run up against the
self-same twirlers every few innings
and familiarity always did breed con-
tempt. Higgins said that if Mails,
who has appeared in each game to date,
fails to put in an appearance to-mor-
row he will demand an explanation
from Ban Johnson.
The tortured twirlers managed to
get past the first inning before tho
merry commanding commenced. Mor+I
ton was the first to feel the effects of
shot and she'll on the battlefield when
sacrifice fly by Ward pushed two Yam
kee tallies over the pan in the second. |
Murray was also wounded in this |
session when Sewell and Gardner hit |
safely, but he would have escaped with |
out a scratch but for q break in the |
defense when Ward booted an easy
grounder by Mails.
Morton Goes Out
The third round had hardly begun
before the ambulance clattered up AMI !
Morton was carried off the scene of
carnage. Hits by Dugan and Pipp, |
coupled with miscue by Joe Sewell, |
led to the mangling of Sir Guy. Buster
Mails came in to earn his daily bread
and butter and Sewell did no better by
him than his predecessor. A sacrifice
fly by Schang and another boot by Joey
allowed the Yanks a total Of three runs
in this session.
The end was not yet in sight. BY
find his knuckles in the fifth inning,
and as his knuckle ball is his chief
stock in trade he was nonplused, not
to say mortified. He walked Wamby
and Speaker for a starter, and when
Larry Gardner doubled, scoring two
runs, it was q case Of "stretcher bear
ers, forward march" Peaceful Squire
Jones was tossed into the melee, and
urged to toss few destructive bombs
in the general direction of the enemy.
A double by Steve o'Neill, a sacri-
fee and Schang's error in dropping
Meusel's perfect throw on a fly by
Jameson allowed the Tribe to score
a run in the sixth, cutting the Yankee
margin of safety to single tally at
5 to 4.
Ruth's homer after Dugan had sin
gled in the seventh added a pair of
counters and the harassed Hugmen
hreathed a bit easier Duster Mails
