New-York tribune., 1922-05-18

All the enemy runs were scored be
fore "The Smiler" entered the pastmc,
but not the Yankee runs. George had
hand in that. Coming up in the sec
ond inning with Pipp and Scott on
base, the big boy slammed long home
run high up and far away in the left
field bleachers. Furthermore, he
smacked the left-center fence with a
corking drive in the sixth, just to show
that the first blow was no Joke. Out
side of that he didn't do thing except
hold the slugging Indians in the hoi-
low of his hand through the murhy
afternoon.
Among the profitable performances
by "Ihc Smiler' during the afternoon
scored three runs, the three base hit,
the series of zeros that he hung up fo1
Iris Speaker and the Tribe, and the
three little hits he allowed in seven
and third innings of masterful hurl-
ing.
The FIVE thousand hardy fans who
braved the chilly weather were with
MIN to man, and the chant of en-
couragement was loud from the Yankee
shouted the mite manager, rem ember
ing the day at thst Southern resort
when Smiling George" toyed with
Mike Ke!ly's Minneapolis team while
he pounded out homer and a double
on his own account. "Bogalusa" went
on. and the further he went the better
ne got. The last four innings the
Tribe went up to the plate and back to
the bench in order.
Indians Score Two in First
iris Speaker and his men climbed
right aboard the shoots Of Bob
Shawkey in way that meant mischief
at the start of the contest. A base on
balls to j. Riggs Stephenson, singles
by Spoke" himself and Stuffy Mcln
MS, aided and abetted by two-base
blow by Joe Sewell brought two coun-
ters over the plate for the enemy be-
fore the game had fairly started.
The Sailorman was as wild as
stormy petrol in the second ard walked
three men in a row. Stephenson chose
this time to insert line single to left
leld, scoring Leslie Nunamaker and
George Uhle. who started in the box
for Cleveland.
That was the end Of Shawkey, and
also of Cleveland scoring. Murray en-
tered the scene and kept the score
board boy busy hanging up O's for the
Tribe during the remainder of the
chilly afternoon. iris shuff1cd his
pitching deck several times in futile
cndeavor to hold back the attack Of the
Hugmen. and though the three Cleve-
land selections held the Yanks to six
enough to offset considerable lack of
neat little singles. Old Frank Baker
prodded out a homer himself in the
fifth inning. A real circuit smash,
too, far out in the upper right field
stand.
The Tribe was leading to 0 when
Murray came to bat in the second.
pipp had singled, and Scott had been
passed by uhle. "The Smilea" had
batting average of 1884 with Rochester
,ast year. and he was anxious to show
the assembled multitude that he came
honestly by it. He did. The count
was and 2 when he crowned that last
one, and what the stands lacked in
population they made up in noise as
She big iovial hurler numbered around
the sacks.
Yankees Take the Lead
That put the Hugmen right back into
the fight again. In the third session
Fewster worked Uhle for base on
balls and the Trappe mauler singled
to left Speaker issued a recall on
Uhle and sent Dave Keefe, former
Athletic right handler, into the box.
est. Elmo" Miller hit a hot grounder
to Joe Seweil. who tried to start
double play without taxing tne tfouole
to pick the ball up off the ground.
Fewster scored on this faux pas, and
Baker scored on two successive infield
outs. That put the RuppertHuston
AoutAt in the lead, to 4. The final tally
vas addzu in the fifth, when j. Frank
lin Baker raped his home run from
'one Of keefe's misplaced slants.
Keefe was relieved to make way for
a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, and
Big Jim Edwards, a youngster fresh
from Mississippi College, finished the
contest Edwards is big left handler.
He was there with a select line Of
hooks and sinkers mostly hooks. The
only safe blows cleaned from his deliv-
cry in the last three frames were the
triple by George Murray and bunt
that Fewster beat out in the seventh.
The score:
NEW YORK "a "a, ISyE1AND "a. 1.)
