~ LEVELAND. July l3.-Helpless
against the left-handed jinX,
the Nationals were trimmed
~ again this afternoon. They
solved Walter Millers SOUTH
paw slants for only three hits and were
defeated by the Indians, to /, in the
series final. 1t was the second success
sive licking handed them by a LETT
hander in the series and made the set
three games to one against Walter
JohnSon's charges.
Sad Sam Jones opposed Miller and
was nicked for 10 hits, six OF them for
extra bases. There was but one error
made behind Jones and 1t did not af-
feet the scoring. All the Indian tallies
were earned. The Tribe failed to hit
Jones in only two of the innings they
faced him and in but one of the six
innings in which they hit did they fan
to tally.
Three HomerS Recorded.
Three homers were clouted during the
pastiming Sam Rice hit the first one,
opening the fourth inning by driving
the ball by Earl Averill to the fartherest
reaches Of center field. Bib Falk and
Dick Porter socked tribal four basers.
Bib lifting the ball over the right-field
wall In the fourth frame and Dick in
sixth. So effective was Miller's pitching
that only seven Nationals got on base.
Three hit their way to the paths.
fielder'S choice put one on and Miller
issue three passes. Two Of the walks
went Ossie Bluege's way.
In addition to Rice. who completed
the circuit, but one National who got
on passed first base. Bluege reached
the far corner when Muddy Ruel singled
after two were out in the seventh ses-
sion. And that was the only time the
Nationals had as many as two on the
runway at once.
A brace of hits netted the Indians a
tally in the first frame. One was out
when Joe Sewell cracked two-baser
to left center and the run went over
when Averill whacked a one-baser to
right. Rice let the ball get by for an
error that enabled Averill to continue
to the middle base and more scoring
seemed likely when FonSeca drew
walk to bring the dangerous Falk to the
plate. All Bib did, though, was advance
Averill a notch by forcing out Fonseca
and the threat was gone when Porter
rolled out.
Another Indian marker was chalked
I'D In the third. Jameson singled and
Joe SeWell sacrificed. AvernlS SLOW
bounder went directly under Myer TO
right for a one-baser and Jameson
raced to the counting block.
In the first three rounds, Bluege was
the only National to dent the runway,
He was franked to the initial sack by
Miller after two were out in the second
session. but 1t meant nothing for jamie
son made a circus catch Of Ruels lazy
topper.
Rice Hits for Circuit.
The first hit off Miller came in the
nasted a twisting liner toward center
and Averill attempted a shoe-top grab.
The ball got by the gardener, though,
and rolled to deepest center, allowing
Rice to make the circuit.
This fourth proved q honne-run in
ming for the Tribe, too, for Falk ham
mered the first pitch that came his
way, lofting the ball over the right field
barrier.
Judge got the second Washington hit,
q single scratched of FonSeca's glove
after one was out in the sixth. only to
be forced out by Rice. Then in the
latter part of the frame the Indians
countered with a second homer. Porter
this time hit the ball over the right
field screen.
The seventh saw both sides hit. but
only the Indians scored. In the Wash
ington half. Bluege drew pass after
two were gone and rambled to third
when Ruel hit for base. Cronin. how
ever, was tagged by Gardeners throw
from deep short.
1t was a pass to Gardner that started
the Tribe on It's way to two more
markers. Miller sacrificed and jamie
son skied out, but Joe Sewell and
Averill smote doubles. That was all.
