Uhle's Work Is Mediocre.
Serving to emphasize Covey's good
work was the rather mediocre en-
hibition given by his hurting rival.
George Uhle. This graduate Of the
Cleveland sandlots, who in 1923 at
tanned stardom and this season has
been threatening to regain his place
in the sun after a couple of years in
obscurity, was pounded for IS safe
ties. Three of these We're .bunts tap

tain lack of coordination on the
right-f1eld side of the visitors inner
defense, went for bingles.
Ruel and Peck alone of the home
guard failed to help their sticking
averages. The quantitative leader
turned up in the person of Earl Nc
Neely, with three safeties to his
credit. Judge matched Covey's con-
| tribution with a lone whack for the
same distance. and which was equally

Earl Goslin contributed a WALTON

Champs Utilize the Bunt.
Harris died stealing after opening

great advantage.
McNeely lined a single to center at
the outset, Harris beat out a bunt 10
the right of the box that none of the
Indians could field. and the bases
were loaded when Rice was credited
with a safety on his tap to Uhle,
which the pitcher slipped on in fielding,
and ferried to LutZke too late to force
McNeely at third. This put it up t.

in the eighth being unsupported. but
