Smith popped to Stephenson to ter- nate the biggest inning the Na- t:8nals have enjoved this season. Indians Are Quite Tam After the inaugural stanza the Tribe had little success against Zach- ary, who, although threatened several times, always had the stuff in the pinches. They got a pair of bingles in the second and another brace in the fitth, in addition to one in the fourth, but it was not till the eighth that they made really menacing motions. Then, with the corners crowded and none out, they failed to'score. Wood and Gardner singled and Sewell drew 2 pass. Burns fanned. Shinault lined to Brower, whose peg had Gardner doubled off second. O'Rourke drop- Johnson probably will not see any box_service until the coming series in Detroit. Walter's enforced lay- off with its accompanying mental stress took the edge off his condition, but he should be ready to give the Tigers a battle. There was a young epidemic of one- hand catches in_the early innings. That pulled by Smith who stabbed, juggled and then clung to Sewell's liner in right center, after a sharp sprint with an Indian on second base in the opening stanza was the gem of the bunch. Smith was victimized by Burns in a similar manner in the same round and Burns in turn was robbed by O'Rouke, who had leaped high to spear & potential triple. Miller recently has developed a pen- chant for throwing to the wrong base after retrieving a hit. He did this for the second time in two days when his heave to the far corner in round five permitted Gardner, whose safe- ty was fumbled, to obtain another base. Better coaching would help him and save Stan Harris the neces- sity of scolding the big outflelder. More than 16,000 fans turned out for the Sabbath entertainment. A total of 26,000 paid admission for two games effectually disposes of the report that Cleveland fans have lost interest in the world champions. The defeat suffered by the Indians reduced thelr lead over New York to a game and a half, the Yankees having taken the Tigers into camp again yesterday. How Griffs Are Hitting G.AB. H.! 15 13 .

Defense Goes “to Bat” in First “Inning” With Various Kinds of Motions. CHICAGO, July 18—The defense in, the base ball scandal Yrial wom its first victory when Judge Hugo Friend ruled the state cannot refer to state- ments of Eddie Clcotte, Joe Jacknon and Claude Williams. The statements, which were repudiated by the players, purported to reveal a plot to “throw” the 1010 world series. The state won a victory when Judge Friend overruled a motion by the de- fense to dismiss the counts which charge eight former members of the White Sox with conspiring to cheat and defraud the club and Ray Schalk, catcher, of their proper share of the serfes. ‘ CHICAGO, July two weeks' “warming up,” during which nearly 600 men were examined to select a jury, defense and prosecution today indulged in the first “inning” of the trial of seven former White Sox players and four alleged gamblers charged with a conspiracy to permit Cincinnati to win the 1919 world series from Chicago. The defense went “to bat” with half a dozen motions designed to keep state’s attorneys scurrying to all cor- ners of the legal “diamond” to pre- vent the defense from sewing up the game before it fairly started. There were indications that the twelve umpires in the jury box may be asked to decide merely whether such a conspiracy as the state charges was against Illinois laws rather than if such a conspiracy actually existed.

Pirates Triumph in Tenth After Giants Tie in Ninth—Big Sixth Aids Dodgers. Hearty batting rallies decided both games played yesterday in the Na- tional League. The eircuit-leading Pirates, tied by the runner-up Giants in the ninth inning, came to life after two were out in the tenth and triumphed. The Dodgers were four runs behind when they came to bat in the sixth, but they opened a swatting bee that vanquished the Cubs. Singles by Young, Kelly and Cun- ningham, after two were retired in the ninth, let the Giants even the score, then with ‘a pair down in the tenth Cutshaw’s triple chased in two tallies that gave the Pirates a 4-to-2 win.

Yankees, Browns anq White Sox registered victories yesterday in the American League. The Hugmen had one big inning that overcame the Tigers, while two healthy sessions gave the Browns a pair of wins over the Athletics. Faber recorded his nineteenth win when the White Sox nosed out the Red Sox in ten innings. Red has lost only six games this year. Four hits, with five passes dnd a passed ball, in the fifth inning netted the ®inkees seven runs, enough to beat the Tigers, 8 to 5. Collins let the Cobbmen get away with a four- run lead before giving way to Quinn. Parks and Middleton were battered in the Yankee rally. Oldham finished for the Tigers. Flagstead got a dou- );let and three singles in six times at at. A four-run rally in the sixth inning of the first game gave the Browns a 5 to 2 victory over the Macks, and a similar batting bee in the seventh session of the second encounter re- sulted in a 6 to 2 St. Louls success. Shocker held the A's to five hits in the opener, while Naylor was bom- barded. In the nightcap, Kolp yield- ed six safeties to seven off Moore, but the latter walked eight batters. In the second match, Ellerbe got three doubles in four times at bat, and Dugan_hit 'a_homer. Red Faber granted nine hits against eight gleaned off Elmer Myers, but the White Sox veteran kept the blows scattered, and blanked the Red Sox. 1 to 0.

Heydler of the “I have not heard that any change has been requested,” was the repl “Base ball seems to be going along pretty well.

It isn't my place to criticise,” sald the umpire, grimly. “I don’t make the rules. I obey them.
