SP - Indians Are Staggeri ORTS. . . TRIBE GOES WELL BACK . OF ONLY TWO TWIRLERS Looks Impressive With Coveleskie and Sothoron in Box—Gets Poor Pitching, But Griffs’ Is Worse, and Wins by 6 to 3. BY DENMAN in their attempt to stave off C THOMPSON. LEVELANT® August 27.—Just how badly the Indians are staggering New York’s bid for the 1921 cham- pionship was made apparent yesterday, when, compelled to de- pend on a flinger other than Sothoron or Coveleskie, they needed a large bundle of “breaks” to land a 6-to-3 verdict over the Nationals, despite the fact that McBride's men were handicapped by pitching as unsteady as a canoe on Lake Erie. George Erickson, who just a week ago blanked the White Sox with three hits in thirteen innings, suffered so from lack of control that he had to be lifted in the fifth, and Courtney, who succeeded him, was so much worse that hs failed to last more than one-third of an inning, hit- ing a batsman and walking a pair du But the wild stuff was not confined | Walter ! to the Washington camp. Mails, the southpaw who blew in from the coast and saved the Indians’ bacon last fall, with seven straight victories, and topped it off with a fine showing against the Dodgers in the world series, was constantly in hot water through his inability to lo- cate the plaie, and ran true to his re- cent form, when he failed to finish the game, being derricked in the ninth, with no fewer than nine bases on balls charged against him. He was relieved by Jim Bagby, another 1920 star, who has proved a big disap- pointment this season. and with the bases loaded a double play saved the ‘Tribe, as it had on two prior oc- casions. Nelther Hits Impressively. Neither team hit the ball impres- sively, four of Clevel nd's eight hits being somewhat tainted. while two doubles by Speaker were due to the fact that Eric had to groove the ball to get it over the plate. Several hard drives by the Griffmen went right at some waiting Indian. One of their runs was the result of a rank error and the other two were’ forced in through Mails' wildness. F.ulty fielding also gave the Tribe one tally, bat the other five they acquired were due directly or indirectly to poor alm by the Griffithian gunners. two of the counters being forced over the plate. ~ The Nationals got one lucky break and a tough one in the opener. Judge's roller took a bBad hop to Wamby for a single and Bush worked ring his tenure. de the Scorers Work| R. H. PO. A.

The Indians are none too well fortified with reserve catchers and O'Neill's absence at this time would have seri- ously crippled them. Harris obtained such a big lead on Mails in stealing second in round 2 that O'Neill did not attempt a throw. It was the first sack pilfered by Stan since August 17 and makes his total twenty-five, still the top figure. Schacht had the odd experience of being in the ball game actually for about two minutes. The only ball he pitched resulted in a double play, re- tiring the side, and when it came his turn to bat he gave way to Rice.

He was invincible after the first inning, while Moore and Keefe were marks for the Browns. Sisler got four hits in five trials. The White Sox by poor base run- ning tossed away scoring chances and were trounced, 5 to 4, by the Red Sox. The Boston clan was outbatted, but made several fluke hits that counted heavily.

C LEVELAND, Ohio, August 27.—Walter Hagen of New York, twice former national open golf champion, is the western open cham- pion for the third time. He won at the Oakwood Club with 287 strokes. Jock Hutchison of Chicago, British open champion and 1920 western titleholder, was second, with 292, and Emmett French of Youngs- town, third, with 294. Only three other players finished under 300. Bobby Jones, the youthful Atlanta amateur, and Joe Kirkwood, Austral- ian open champion, tied for fourth place with 295. Bob McDonald, Chi- cago, had 299. The day- was spectacular for low scores Thursday, the opening day of the tourney, when French scored 69 and Jones and Bob Peebles of Peoria turned in 69s, but after good par golf on the second round. the scores in most cases mounted several strokes yesterday because of a gale that swept the course. Hagen, however, kept the even tenor of his way along the path of almost perfect golf without mount- ing to spectacular heights or dropping to mediocrity. His rounds of 71-72- 73-71—287, amounted to just three strokes over par for the 72 holes. Hutch Loses om Last Round. Hutchison suffered the loss of his title on the last round, taking 76 to Hagen's 71, and this slump from previous scores of 72, 71, 73 was due to his proclivity for water. He found the creek on the second hold twice today for two sixcs and washed away his remaining chances for victory in the brook on the tenth hole of the final round, taking another six. Jones, as the only threatening amateur, had the lead at the end of the first two rounds with 69-70—139, but the wind blew away his hopes, plastering the figures 83 on his moriuing score card, and he took'73 for the final round.
