piled a 100 lead to assure Jim
Bagby his fifth straight victory
The Indians pounded Buck New
som for five runs in the third, then
clipped young Bill Kennedy for five
more in the fourth.
To get the longest winning streak
In Cleveland baseball history, the
Indians mauled Newsom, Kennedy
and Hardin Cathey for Is hits, in
cluding three doubles, a triple and
a 3-run homer by jeff Heath in the

Bagby Strong Until Ninth.
Bagby, who hasn't lost this season,
entered the ninth with shit game
In his grasp, but Campbell led off
with a home run over the right field
fence and Estalella followed with
q smash into the center field bleach
ers. Bob Repass walked after Al
Evans popped out and Jimmy
Pofahl fetched him home with a
triple to the center field corner.
That was the extent of the Mats
accomplishments. Otherwise they
were having a horrible time OF it.
Newsom had no-hit game for
two innings, but the Indians took
care of that in the third when Ray
Mack opened with a double and
scored on Gene Desautels' single.
Bagby sacrificed and Desautels took
third on Roy Weatherly's infield out
to score on Ken Keltner's single
after Oris Hockett had walked.
With Hockett perched on third
and Keltner on second as the re-
suit Of Campbells throw to the
plate, Heath lifted a home run

later contributed double and triple
before Manager Boudreau ordered
shock troops into action.

fourth inning by pitching successive
singles to Boudreau and Mack

Derby Ride on Winning Shut Out

New York. Painting and with his
face twitching with excitement, he
brought Shut Out into the presenta-
tion circle to receive his bunch of
roses, his congratulations from Col.
Matt Winn, the Governor of Ken

all the other dignitaries.
Then he posed for endless pic
lures. He refused to sacrifice his
chewing gum for the picture making.
He had chewed it all around the
track, and he wasn't going to give

prise when Bagby drilled into
doubleplay. Boudreau scoring and
Mack shifting to third, but Cleve-
land resumed its clouting conduct
when Weatherly singled Hockett
doubled, Keltner singled and Heath
doubled in that order.
Cathey. who labored the final five
innings, was nicked for run in
the sixth when Keltner socked his
third straight single and scored
on a Heath triple TO right that
Roberto Ortiz permitted to hop over
his head.
In the seventh, the Indians
fashioned their 18th run when Mack
singled off Estalella's glove, took
second on wild pitch, third as
Desautels grounded out and scored
on Bagby's single to center.
Heath Likes Nat Hurting.
Heath was a pesky character in
dealing NeWsom his third straight

extra-base blows he batted in five
runs and scored another. Keltner
and Mack also produced three hits
each.

the running went to post and got
away well under the able direction
of Starter T. Beatty Brown. At the
first fence Arnold Scruton took
Kitty Kidd to the front with Block
ade in his pocket, closely followed
by Sir Romeo, Cliftons Max and
HouSeman. At the second fence,
Metope, owned and ridden by
George Walker, Washington sports
man, had moved up to a comfortable
position in second place but struck
the barricade and went down. Mr..
Walker suffered several broken ribs
and broken collar bone and was
removed to a Washington hospital
At the third barrier Last Appeal
came a cropper.
Kitty Kidd, Sir Romeo and
Houseman were well together as
they went out Of sight around the
rise of ground to the west of the
4-mile course. AS they emerged at
the sixth jump, which is the first
that can be viewed from the Judges
stand. Black Sweep and Sky Knees
had lost their riders. At the eighth
jump Sir Romeo was in front with
Blockade closing fast and Kitty
Kidd, jumping consistently was
maintaining safe third place.
HouSeman was bit off the pace
with Clifton's Max and Kitty Kidd
close up. That order of running was
maintained until the 18th fence
when Kitty Kidd came to grief and
was out of the running.
AS they emerged from behind the
hill at the 17th jump Sir Romeo
was holding we'll to the pace and
jumping consistently. Blockade,
which seemed cold throughout the
race, came up to this fence in sec
ond place, struck hard and that was
the passing of a great thorough
bred. At the very next jump Mrs.
Frank NJ. Gould's Black Sweep,
winner of the 1910 Gold Cup, rid
den by young Danny Shea, jr.,
came cropper along with Frederick
M. Warburg's Mountsville, ridden
by F. H. Embrey, who was taken
to the hospital but finally left that
institution under his own power.
Utterbach's Riding Superb.
From this point on there were
only four horses with a prospect
of finishing the race. Sir Romeo
was standing back and jumping big,
and increasing his lead between
jumps. r. Utterbach, who was pi-
loting the son Of Sir Clarence-Si-
lent Maid, did superb job and
had the race well in hand the last
quarter mile. He won going away
in the good time of minutes and
IS seconds.
