BY FRANCIS J. POWERS,


CHICAGO, July 16.-If Cleveland S
Indians are to prevent New York from
making 1t three championships on end
for the third time since 1920, they
must keep on beating the Yankees
and quickly acquire a formula for
trimming the Rupert Rifles on their
home terrain, in the Bronx. Cleveland
now leads New York six games to four
on the seasons play. but the club
meet again on the Yankee field next
Tuesday, and. after three days, the
reading may be different.
New York has been poisonous to
Cleveland teams ever since 1920, the
year before the Yankees went into
the pennant business on a production
basis. Over a run of l8 summers, the
Indians have won the seasons play
from New York only three times and
have split even but twice.
The Tribe has been particularly
impotent when playing the Yanks in
New York, whether it was on the Polo
Grounds or the stadium A Cleveland
team might be rampant through the
rest of the league and it might be
obstreperous against the Yankees on
Ohio sod. but the moment it sighted
the Bronx it lost facility for beating
the Rifles.
Flag Team Bows to Yanks.
Even in Cleveland's only pennant
year. back in 1920. it was no match
for New York, losing 13 games Then
the Yanks started their first pennant
splurge and won IA and is from the
Tribe in 1922. The New Yorkers
repeated the following season as cham
pions, but that year George Uhle, al
ways mixture of cyanide and cobre
venom to the Yanks, helped the Tribe
finish two games to the good off Miller
Higgins club
In 1925, when the Yanks started
their second run Of championships,
Uhle again was in the front line for
the Indians and the two clubs split
even. Cleveland was within a game
of New York when the rivals clashed
in their final duel of the season.
Clark Griffith had predicted, few
days before, that, If the Indians pulled
within q game of the Yankees, they
would go on to win.
The climactic game was played on
a Sunday, with spectators jammed
around the edges OF League Park-then
known as Dunn Field. Cleveland
started Dutch Levsen on the mound,
and New York quickly routed the
right-hander. Miller Higgins out
guessed Iris Speaker and nominated
Dutch Reuter-, the veteran left-hand-
er. Southpawing of the background
of white shirts, Reuther choked the
Indian bats and the Yankees went
down to St. Louis and clinched the
championship.
Tribe Weak in New York.
Cleveland was beaten 16 times in
1923 and that high mark was dupli-
Gated in 1896, wher the Yankees
started their current pennant run.
The Tribe was rampant against New
York in 1929, winning IA, and Of
them in the stadium-the only time
Cleveland ever had q margin on the
Yankee grounds. An even break in
1884 was the best the Indians could
do against the New Workers in the
past nine seasons. With the exception
of that year the best Cleveland has
produced was eight victories.
The Indians won only one game
in the stadium last season and only
one in 1896. In the four games played
there so far this summer the Tribe

SOUTH BEND, Ind. July 16.-Mau-

for the final of the Western amateur
golf championship tournament tomor-

Babbish eliminated Larry Moller,

together two men who attained their

has been victorious only once, when
Bob Feller beat Lefty Gomez. Cleve-
land still has seven games to do on the
Bronx battle ground. and, to head
of New York, must win at least
four. If it can do that and maintain
its pace against other clubs of the
league it will have a chance for the
pennant, since its final two games
with the Yankees will be played in
Cleveland.
You do not look for the Indians
to have the formula for beating New
York on its home field or over the
season. In the last 1s years the
Yankees have defeated the Tribe 230
games to 1854. and there's too much
margin and percedent there for even
such a fine manager as Oscar Witt
to overcome in his freshman campaign.
Cleveland may make it hard on New
York far down the home stretch,
but the Yankees should win.
