NEW YORK, April 16-The

Cleveland Indians in an exhibition
game today. 1919, but they had to
overcome Me-run deficit in the
last three innings to turn the
trick.
Each team scored four runs in
the first inning. The Giants
cluster was due mainly to the
generosity of Satchel Paige. who
started for the Indians and
promptly walked the first four
batters to face him.
Manager Lou Boudreau yanked
Paige, but Mike Garcia. who sue
ceeded him, gave UP couple of
singles.
The score stayed deadlocked
only until the third when the In
dians notched one more. In the
fifth. they went three-up when
Joe Gordon whacked a home run
with one on.
Two singles, a walk and a
double by Boudreau accounted for
two more Tribe runs in the
seventh.
The Giants made up three of
the tallies in their half of the
seventh with three singles and
Jack Lohrke's double. Don Muel-
Ter. a pinch-hitter, drove in two
of the three Giant runs in the
eighth with a home run off Steve
Gromek.
