Evening star., 1925-08-12


Bluege. Rice, Harris, Judge, Nc
Neely and Ruel all participated in de-
fensive featS that ranged all the way
from plain good to scintillating, and
without them travelling at such a bril-
liant clip Covey would have failed to
terminate his recent losing streak of
three in a row, following 13 sue
cessive wins.
After disdaining the lowly, but use
full bunt, and whaling away TO merely
force McNeely following a single by
Earl in the opener, Bucky had re-
course to the tapping system with
such fine effect in the sixth that he
paved the way for rally that spelled
victory, and may result in more fire.
quent employment in the future of
the laying 'em-down process that other
pilots find so advantageous.
Three runs and eight hits is nothing
much to boast about as an exhibition
of attacking power, but is sufticed for
the day, thanks to air-tight work
afield, and the somewhat sparse as.
Semblage saw nothing to make II
wonder how the Harrismen coula
have earned a world championships.
This has not been the case in many
of their recent appearances here.
The Indians started as if to knock
Covey loose from his cap. MCNulty
met the first ball pitched for a double
to left center and scored when Summa
promptly slapped to right safety that
took an odd bound past Rice and net
ted three bases. Sat held third while
Lee rolled to Peck, but when Joe
Sewell did likewise, he headed for the
plate only to be cut down on Rogers
toss to Ruel.
An error. a double and a single
netted the Griffs but one run to knot
the count in the third. Peck got life
on Fewster's tumble, took third on
Ruels double over third base and
tailed on Covey's clean single to cen
ter. Coach SChacht tagged Ruel on
his way to the plate and Muddy re-
manned right on third while McNeely
was being doubled up with Covey.
Harris then lofted to Lee.
Covey Strong in the Third.
Covey frightened after the opener,
showing to particularly good. advant-
age in the third when he famed Lee
and disposed of Joe Sewell on a liner
to Peck after McNulty's single and
Harris tumble of Summa's s smash put
Redskins on third and first.
Only the tightest kind of defensive
play saved STAINS scalp in the fifth.
however, after Bluege's faulty judg-
ment in passing up Lees roller in the
belief that it was foul netted Cliff two
bases. Lees blocking of Peck's line
of vision enabled Joe Sewell's roller to
go through short for a single, Lee TAX
ing third. Burns then smashed to
Bluege who headed off Lee at the
plate and took RuePs return to flag
Cliff on the line, firing then to Harris
to trap Sewell off second base for
dual killing. Fewster's rap to right
center found an unguarded spot. The
blow really was a potential double
and Burns legged it for all he was
worth around those bases only to find
on his arrival at the plate that Harris
perfect relay from McNeely to Ruel
had arrived a fraction ahead of him.
Real snappy stuff, that, but fully
matched by Covey's exhibition of pill
propelling prowess in the eighth when
McNulty's third hit of the day and
a Iooper near the line in right that
netted Summa two bases found Stan
strictly up against it with Tribers on
third and second and none out. In
this predicament the Shamokin spit
ballist personally tossed out Lee, COM
pelled Sewell to hoist a. foul to Judge
and disposed of Burns via the pop
to Peck route.
1t was in the fag end OF this frame
that the Griffs flogged Buckeye for
the markers that meant victory. With
McNeely gone, Harris jolted a bunt
to Burns that left first uncovered,
gaIloped 70 the far corner on Rfce's
ram to right and continued to the
platter when Goslin sent Lee far back
for his drive to right center. Judge
then beat out a rap to Seweu in
deep short and Rice dented the rubber
when Bluege propelled a plunk to
port.
