effective relief flinging by Charley
Fuchs; a costly error by Birdie
Tebbetts and some fancy whack-
ing by the Indians. topped off with
a home run by Les Fleming.
II was no consolation that
Fleming was once a Tiger and
that tf1p homer off Fuchs was one

pitched magniicently, yielding but
five scattered hits.

the first inning when they drove
