Bam Jones of Cleveland Indians Has Distinction of Striking Out Mighty Tris Speak? Sam Jones, who figured in the trade by which Tris Speaker became a member of the Cleveland team, has the distinction of being the first right-handed pitcher to strike out the heavy-hlttlng outfielder this year, and the second Boston pitcher to turn the trick since Speaker became a member of the Indians. It was the fourth time Speaker has struck out this season and the second time Umpire Owens has called the third strike on him.
