New-York tribune., 1922-07-09

Stanley Coveleski, the Giant Pole,
and Carl Mays were having a fine pitch
ing duel, with the score tied at one
run all until the big chief Of the
Indian tribe took the casing off his
bludgeon and began to lay about him
without fear or favor. In the next two
times at bat he slammed out two
luscious homers that just about put
the game right in the Cleveland re-
frigerator. That was all there was to
it. Coveleski tended to the little bust
ness of holding the Yanks in subjec-
tion thereafter, and every time an up
rising was attempted the Cleveland
hurler squelched it with heavy hand.
If Speaker had been left out of the
pastime the teams might still have
been locked in a death struggle. Out
side OF his two blood curdling home
runs, Mays limited the Tribe to three
hits. The first Cleveland tally was the
result of an error and hit batsman
and the rest of the enemy scoring can
be laid right on the doorstep OF the
Indian Chieftain, with no chance of his
disclaiming the ownership. 1t seemed
as If iris had made up his mind that
If the Yanks could beat his team three
times in row, he would show them
that they couldn't hold down one real
good Indian when he made up his mind
to 60 on the warpath.
Scott Makes an Error!
The Tribe started operations by
putting over run without the aid of
q hit in the first inning. Deacon Scott
made one Of his rare misplays when
his throw on Jamieson's grounder
pulled Pipp off the bag. Wamby got
In the way Of q submarine shoot by
Carl Mays, and limped to first. Speaker
laid down q sacrifice, moving the run
ners up a peg, and Jameson drifted
across the pan, while Scott was tossing
Woods grounder to Pipp.
The Yanks got this run back and
tied the score in the second session.
Wally Pipp hit scorcher that Wamby
managed to stop, but that was all.
Pipp was safe, and Ward sacrificed
him to second, whereupon Scotty i'm
mediately brought him home with a
clean single to center. There was no
more scoring until the sixth, when
none other than iris Speaker himself
slammed the ball into the lower right
field stand for home run, putting the
Indians in the lead once more.
The Yanks put on threatening
reilly in the lucky seventh, but not a
populated set Of bases. Fred Hofmann
led off by beating out a slow roller
to Larry Gardner. Mays sacrificed,
and after Witt had grounded out,
Covelesk.e filled the bases by passing
McNally and Ruth, and it became a
strictly personal issue between Bob
Meusei and the big Pole. Coveleskie
turned on a full head of steam and
long Bob padded the atmosphere with
three wild swipes, and the said rally
became as extinct as the late lamented
dodo.
Then came the ninth, when Iris
tram, the peerless, slammed another
submarine twister on a dead line into
the back of the lower. right field stand.
There was no mistake about this.
"Spoke" just stepped up and did it
with malice aforethought Wally
Schang was sent in to hit for Mays in
the final inning, but he famed indus
triously at third strike, and re-
tired again to seclusion. Witt was
out when Speaker gobbled his easy fly,
and the last chance went glimmering
when Skinner essayed to bat for Mike
McNally and popped to Joe Sewell.
Circus Catches Galore
However, it was rare day all
around. The crowd of $4,000 saw a
great fight that was fringed around
with garland of sparkling plays. The
felders of both teams seemed bent on
outdoing each other in circus catches
of the flying sphere, and, as Miller
Hugeins mumbled as he walked off the
field in the thunder shower that de-
scended as soon as the last man was
out, "We can't win 'em all, or there'd
be no race"
Just before the battle the result of
Che first game in Boston between the
Red Sox and the Browns was hung up
on the score board and the fans gave
q rousing cheer when the 2 to 1 YER
diet for Boston was perceived. The
alumni are working hard for the var
sity.
