a gun barrel in the Lone Star
State. continued their pleasant pas
sage through the East yesterday.
The Nationals, for the second day
in succession. were their victims.
After nine innings of more or less
listless playing the scoreboard
radioed to the customers who gath
cred for the killing the fact that
the Cleveland Indians had won
their eleventh straight game. The
final score happened to be to 2.
Eric Erickson. who is supposed
to carry poison for the Tribe in
his lean right whip. was thrown
into the breach by Manager Milan.
But Ulluf was just another pitcher
to the Indians. On this particular
swing through the East Speaker
and his playmates have treated all
opposing hurlers alike. The Tribe
has been breaking all kinds OF
union rules and bylaws by refus-
ing to bow to recognized jinxes,
and now that Ulluf the Great is dis
posed Of for this series the Nation
ais chances of throwing sand into
the Indians supposedly sensitive
winning machinery are slim indeed

The big Scandinavian lasted just
four and two-thirds innings against
the one club in the league on which
he is said to have the sign. Dur
in= his toll he was nicked for seven
hits and six runs. All of when

in a mental state where all hurting
looks alike to them.
