ball that kept the Red Sox hustling
to remain out in front. In fact,
| great one-handed circus catches by
Scarritt in the second and by 10th
rock in the eighth on drives by Cor
man and Barnhart Just about saved
the hide of Bill Carrigans crew.
The Indians batted well enough
all day and kept pace with Boston
in this respect, but bad innings by
Schupp in the first and Teachout
in the sixth formed handicap too
great for them to overcome.
Ed Morris, huge right-hander, the
leading hurler of the Sox, and Lefty
Bayne did the pitching against the
Betzelites and Heving went the full
nine innings back of the bat.
Ferd Schupp was bombarded for
ten hits in five rounds, seven of the
number coming in the opening ses-
sion when twelve batterS faced him
while the entire Hoosier nine was
more or less ratified. And after that
he hurled good ball. Teachout re-
lieved Schupp following the fifth
and he, too, got away to an cratic
start when four hits, walk and a
hit batsman gave the Sox four
runs.
Thereupon he frightened and held
the Beantown FASTENERS hitless in
the seventh and eighth. The Tribe
catching was divided by Mum and
Riddle, both Or whom failed to get
one safe, but turned IN satisfactory
receiving jobs.
Sharing the centerfieId position,
Matthews poled two safe and
Layne the same number.
BARNHART CRASHED THE LONGEST
WALLOP OF THE DAY WHEN HE
TRIPLED IN THE SEVENTH INTO A
GROVE OF TREES IN DEEP LEFT. IT
EASILY WOULD HAVE CLEARED THE
LOW FENCE BACK HOME. ROTHROCK
MADE A RUNNING CATCH IN DEEP
CENTER ON BARNEY IN THE EIGHTH.
THE FORMER PIRATE PUTS THE WOOD
TO THE SPHERE IN POWERHOUsE
FASHION.

Scarritt's catch on German in the
second was a lucky barehanded stab
in right center that belongs in the
greatest play I ever saw series.

With Iefthander on the Boston
mound in the ninth, Byron Specie
was sent up to bat for Teachout
and he tripled and drove in two
mates.
WARSTLER PoKED OUT TWO
SINGLES, HIT A SACRIFICE FLY AND
WALKED ONCE IN FIVE APPEARANCES.
4 = 4
It was the first time Teachout had
been batted hard this spring. He
will be coached to improve his con-
troll and Schupp will be asked to use
more stuff when he takes the
mound hereafter.
There will be no more exhibit
ton battles for the Indians until
Friday when they viii return to
OA GOC4AbOA4 W AtCCO b4lC keCu QUA
again. Manager Bethel will "bear
down" on the athletes in the
meantime.
WAESTLER AND MATTHEWS NEARLY
COLLIDED ON SHORT FLY MONDAY
THAT FELL SAFE AND WENT AS A DoU-
BILE 1T WAS MATTY'S BALL. BUT
WARSTLER FAILED TO HALT AND A
SERIOUS SMASH-UP WAS AVOIDED
ONLY BY QUICK SIDE STEPPING BY
THE FORMER. THE TEAM BOSSES IN
TEND AT ONCE TO SYSTEMATIC PLAYS
OF THAT KIND.
Danny Boone, minus his tonSils,
was up and around today resting
at the hotel.
Weather Monday was just right
for the players, but tough on the
spectators and camp followers. 1t
was boiling, and no breeze.
Matthews, Layne, Warstler and
Barnhart are leading the BetzeliteS
with the budgeon. Koenecke has
the most hits. He has been "up" the
greatest number of times. Tribe
