FINE FIELDING FEATURESPLAY AT TRIBE PARK Series With Brewers Sees Indians Cutting Capers With Sharp Double Plays. TWO VICTORIES SUNDAY Wi The eerie* standing 2 to 1 in favor of the Indians, the Tribesmen and Brewers today were to hook up in a fourth battle at Washington Park Harrv Weaver was the probable choice for Tribe mound duty this afternoon. The Indians were feeling in good mood todav as a result of their achievement in downing the Brewers twice Sunday, b to 2 and 7 to 3, and were hopeful of hanging up another victory. In the Saturday fray the Brewers won. to which knocked the home team back slightly, but lost &rouul was made up by the twin victory of Sunday and id fans left the park well satisfied with the day's entertainment. It was a warm day for baseball, but Mr. Pug Caret wasn't bothered. dne vet southpaw went along in typical Southern fashion and eased through tne first game without exerting himself. His mates gave him excellent support and the Brewers were held to seven hits. I he Tribesmen knocked lteviere out of the box and also pasted Clarke, the relief lrurler. Os the eleven hits obtained by the Tribe in the first game Brown and Sehreiher hit triples. For the Brewers Cooney got a home run when his hard drive in the opening inning took a mean bound away from Brown. In the second skirmish of the afternoon the Indians us . two pitchers and the Brewers three. Hill went along into the eighth inning for the Indians when Weaver relieved him. Pott. Kse and Clarke appeared at various times on the Brewer mound. This second coniest was of the type that k.-eps the fans in their seats until the final out is made. The Indians had a 7 to 2 lead in the seventh, but the hustling Brewers kept hustling and had rais-il their total to five before they were checked for the last tim* In the ninth. The week-end games were featured by remarkable fielding. In the Saturday con-' test six double ploys were made, four by the Indians. One of these the Tribe got both men o na double steal, whli h j is something seldom seen. In the second inning, with one out and Griffin on third and McCarthy on first, the double; steal w.a tried. Krueger shot the ball to: Sicking and the latrer used sharp judgment in handling the situation. He got ; McCarthy on the line by a neat sprint ■ and then pegged home to Krueger ahead] of Griffin, who had dashed for the plate, when Ernie bad thrown to second. It was a neat piece of work and a play that is , seldom negotiated in the big leagues 3 In the second inning of the seconl; contest Sunday, Hill, Baird and Sohricher completed n double piay that brought the fans up cheering. Lear was on sc.--ond when Griffin bunted. Hill fielded the ball and hurled It to Baird at third, head lng off Lear. The Brewer was trapped and he dashed back toward second. Baird and S.-firei'ier g°t him between them and finally put him out. In the meantime Griffin kept running in an <-f fort to reach second while the play for Lear was still on. He was an instant late, for Selireiber had backed up to the bag just in time to receive the ball from Baird the moment Baird had disposed of Lear. Walter Rehg also came in for a big hand In the eighth inning of the first game wii-n he went over in deep left center and speared Mellilo's drive with one band and then made a fine thro v to Covington at first base, doubling up Mathews. There were numerous extra base drives in the second struggle Sunday. Hill got a home run when his drive down the left field fonl line in the fmiri h inning hopped over into the left-field bleachers; It,dig and Schreiber *ach got a pair of triples; Brown end McCarthy hit for three sacks and Johnson, Lear and Covington hit for doubles. Washington Turk is an ideal spot f"r the making of sensational catches. he outfielders are given plenty *,t territory to cover and long drives that go ns Indue runs in some parks are Turned inti, brilliant catches her-. Brown ran In every direction in the Sunday gaiu-'S. making eleven catches, several of the spectacular variety. Kehg and t lie Brewer i-cfiter-fielder also pullei some extra specials. That Infield of the Tribe frequently makes oth-r teams look slow these days Speed, speed, speed, that's what iuak‘s Baird, Sicking and Schreiber look so good. The Brewers onthlt The Indians by one safety in the second bill Sunday, the visitors getting thirteen blows to twelve for the home boys. The grandstand managers didn’t get a chance to tell ’em how to do it yesterday. The Indians were leading all tile way in both games, with the ex'-eptiun of only one inning the first of the opening affray. Attendance continues to improve “Ladies’ day" every day this week until Saturday. "Kids' day” today an ' Thursday.

B illy Evans Says

lirowns Up in American League Race True to the predictions of the baseball experts, the St. Louis Browns are setting a fast pare in the American League. There are a number of reasons why the St. Louis Browns continue to make things interesting for the seven other clubs. The train Is well managed. That is always essential. It is a club cheek full of harmony. Tt. has a number of stars who work for the interest of the team. They add color and strength to the club. At first there is the incomparable Sisler, back of the bat the hlghelass consistent catching of Severeld and leading the pitchers Is the brilliant Shocker. At short the sensational Gerber. The outfield would be hard to Improve upon. Tobin, Jacobson and Williams make a grent trio. Kenneth Williams, who lias stolen part of the thunder of the home run king, has added the proper touch of color to the club. The substitutes and recruits have each played their part in rounding out the team. *•• • • • McManus and Ellerbc Add Strength Vet. in a sense, the work of two of the lesser lights have addpd the strength which lias converted the Browns from a strong club Into a dangerous pennant contender. I have reference to Frank Kllerbe and Marty McManus. with particular emphasis on young McManus. Kllerbe lias plugged up the hole at third base which has existed ever since Father Time made the going rough for Jlmuiy Austin. However, the work of Martv McManus at second base has been the spark plug of the combination. The loss of Joe Gedeon made a big flaw In the inner defense of the Browns. McManus has finally filled it. After being tried out at various positions, with only ordinary success. Manager Fohl shifted McManus to second. That shift made the Browns, ended many of Kohl's worries, and gave McManus a chance to prove his worth. McManus, to use the slang of the hall field, has the “guts.” An Injured arm greatly affected his work last spring and made him a target for the fans. He rode through it. McManus can field and he can think. He Is fast on a double play, and with the brilliant Gerber working alongside of him makes a great combination around the keystone sack. Better yet, McManus is aggressive in a propor tanner, is always trying to learn, and Is constantly improving. He is destined t - be even a much better ball player than he is today, and he Is a corker right now.

GOTHAM TEAMS GOING FAST IN MAJOR LEAGUES New York Clubs Step Out in Recent Play—Pirates on Giants’ Heels. YANKS GOOD ON ROAD By HENRY FARRELL. I nitel Pre*s Sports Editor. NEW YORK, June 12.—Playing the best ball in tho major leagues, both the New York clubs stepped out last week and strengthened their lead in the major league pennant races. It is an old baseball legend that the team in first place the fourth of July is the pennant winner and from the way ;>oth the big town teams are going it will ;, e another private series in the fall. The Yanks started their western tour auspiciously by winning five out of six games. The "Big Bam" is good against ■ 'll teams and the chib is getting good . pitching. liie Giants back home, returned from I their blow-up and won four out of five ' kaiiff-s. The team is hitting ferociously, out is still in need of consistent pitching. Ihe Pittsburgh Pirates, showing un- ; usually good road form, are keepingright on the heels of the Gfants. They : "on three out of four games against i opposition that xx-asn't exactly soft. Washington won three out of five and moved up a little while both the St. Louß clubs split ex-en. M Mle the Cards have managed to ride along in third place so far. the club has been a big disappointment. If it itax ed up to form it had plenty of chances to he out in front now. Branch Rickey says it is poor fielding that Is blowing his chances. The Cleveland Indians, witji Tri* Speaker laid up and Sreve O'Neill away, floundered through the week and lost four out of five games. The former chjni- [ t"cs seem to be clinging still to xvasted hop>-s. " Ith the 33 hife Sox out of the way and txvo games "in" -with the Browns, :h " Vanks have something to smile about ”fi tlieir first 33'estern trip. The Ameriat: League champions always found oirce jinxes in Chicago and St. Loujs and xvh'-n they ride over them they have pasted the hardest part of the jo'tirney. I'he Giants took the series from the ‘ "sis nrir l can get no worse than an even hr-ak with the Reds. Hoxveevr, ’h< toughest are coming with the Pirates and the Cardinals. The Giants seem to nave something on the Pirates and the cards are not going strong enough to cause worry. Illinois Reconsiders Its Decision and Will Enter National Track Tourney r niCACD.
