came up for Coveleskie in the
eighth and led off with single
to right, giving way to Matthews.
Rice and McNeely expired on long
flies to Speaker, who played them
beautifully, and then Bucky Harris
walked. Goslin raped safely to
center and Matthews romped over,
leaving the champions one run
behind.
Two were gone in the ninth
when RueI shot a hot single right
through Sewell into left field,
Adams replacing him at first. The
cowboy promptly went up to
second as Shaute took a windAup,
land then came Johnson's MerriWell
stunt. s
The Indians went down fighting;
make no mistake about that. Sewell
opened the eighth with single off
Mogrfdge and Myatt sacrificed. In
came Marberry, and when he failed
to cover first base on Hendricks
hopper to Joe Harris, giving the
batsman cheap single, Bucky
called upon Ogden. Burns then
rolled into a double play, leaving
Sewell stranded at third.
Russell was on the hill in the
ninth and Shaute greeted him
with a powerful poke into left
/ field after KaTr had died on 81
bounce to the box. With Jamie.
son IIp and one out, it looked
not so good for the BaItimOrean,
but he was right on the job.
Jameson hit one back at Russell,
who WhirIed and started double
play with toss to Peck, ending
the game.
Iris Spaker put up a wonderful
fielding exhibition all day. ~In the
third he ran almost to the center
field bleachers to rob Bucky Harris
Of an extra-base knock by leaping
high into the air and coming down
with the ball in his gloved hand.
In the sixth he took another away
from Goslin out near the wall IN
right center, while in the eighth ne
robbed Rice of hit by running
over into right field and snagging
his line drive. He handled seven
put outs, only one of which might
have been termed easy. At bat he
got two clean singles to center in
four tries, so that his day was not
exactly wasted.
George Marshall, the Griffs' Jinx,
suffered through eight innings
when the strain became too great
and he left in a hurry. On the
way out he saw Lee catch Bluege's s
fly and he ran to find a taxi. By
the time he reached the hotel
Johnson had done his stunt and
he was stunned to hear the news
from the returning players.
There you are" grumbIed George
at dinner. "They play like hams

Marshall went back to Washing

Flames Spread to Fields And
Threaten Timberland-Sum.
mons Firemen For Wednes-
day Evening Blaze on Hos
pital Road 49, Loss About
$1,000

A hay and tool barn on the farm
of w. E. Mclean on Lower Hospital
street was completely destroyed by
fire Of mysterious origin, Wednesday
evening, and about an acre of grass
was also swept over before the crew
of flrefighters could control the
flames. The barn contained no hay,
but the farming machinery and i'm
plements which were housed there
were totally destroyed and the loss
will be from $3.50 to $1,000.
The barn was situated in an open
field some two hundred yards from
the other farm buildings and con-
siderable distance from the road.
| The cause Of the fire could not be
determined last evening but it is be-
lieved it was started by some per-
son or persons who were careless
with matches or their smoking ma
terials. When the fire was dis
covered at about s o'clock. the entire
structure was afire. and before the
combination chemical truck from the
| Hartford station could reach the
scene in response to telephone call.
the frame had dropped into the
foundations.
The flames spread to the dry grass
of the field to the southwark and
/ famed by high wind were running
rapidly toward an extensive piece of
, timber growth. when the six blasts
of the fire whistle were sounded to
summon firemen and more help.
There was nothing that could be
done to subdue the flames in the
then almost totally destroyed barn.
, and efforts were concentrated on
controlling the grass fire and to pre-
vent destruction Of the timber and
nearby property.
The flames swept across the acre
field through a stone wall. where
they were stopped and the damage
was confined TO the barn in which
the fire originated.
The scene of last nights fire IS on
the height Of land below the state
hospital and could he viewed from
almost any part Of the city. When
the out of town call was sounded on
the fire whistle. MANY people were
attracted to the hospital road in the
belief that a big set of buildings was
being destroyed. About two years
ago there was a fire in the Mclean
house and Chief Engineer Roy K.
Small was injured when an explo-
sion knocked him down stairs.
Two Other Calls Wednesday
The apparatus was sent out from
the Hartford station in response to
two telephone calls for minor blazes
Wednesday. The first was CHM
ney fire at 1910 yesterday noon in
the house at las Northern avenue
and two small chemicals were ueed
to extinguish the blaze. At 225 In
the afternoon the combination chem
ical was sent to Clark street. where
with the high wind which prevailed
grass fire was the cause OF some
apprehension on the part Of nearby
householders. Four small chemicals
were used to control the ground fire.
