o — 3 T PORTS.. | TRIBE SOLVES ZACHARY ‘WHEN HITS MEAN' RUN Score Is 6 to 2, but Griffs Force Speaker to Send Bagby to Uhle ’s Rescue in the Sixth Inning. C LEVELAND, 'August 27.—An off their only rivals for the ished, for the Indians mopped up Owner Dunn’s wigwam with the Griff- men again today, 6 to 2, and thereby retained their eyelash hold on the leadership. It would seem that the Nationals’ old role of nemesis to the Tribe has been abandoned. The visitors blew into town with a two-game margin d with the expectation of increasing this advantage, but on the sedson an e ©Olaf Erickson, usually a jinx for tl and today J. Tecumseh Zachary was victimized. 'his put the Speakerites on even terms with the visitors in _eighteen games played, leaving the Nationals one down for their trip through the west, which started so auspiciously with two out of three won in both X St. Louis and Chicago. Victory Is Clean Cut. Cleveland’s victory today was & clean cut affair, wholly merited and due to thelr ability to solve Zachary at junctures when hits meant runs. The Indians took almost maximum ad- ‘vantage of their blows, only three of their total of eleven not proving scoring factors, and just four local athletes B¥ing left on the bases. Only four of the Nationals' nine safeties did them any good, the other five be- | {PeoF ing scattered over a% many innings. fn but one round did the Griffs ap- pear dangerous. That was sixth, when, five runs to the bad, the first four men up hit safely and an-| bl other was wounded. Their two runs accrued here, and with the bases .saded, and no one out it appeared McBride's gang would obtain sweet revenge against George Uhle for his stunt in ending their eleven-game winning streak in hington early this month, but the sandlot graduate was_promptly ousted in favor of Jim Bagby. This veteran got out of the hole in admirable style and had the Nationals at his mercy till the close. Burns' scratch single, a swat that Harris made a fine stop of but could not ferry to first in time, was the only safety garnered off Zachary in the first three rounds, and it was nullified when Shanks made a spectac- ular stab of O'Neill's bewhiskered liner and doubled Burns oftf first. Jezebel Is Peppered. Jezebel was subjected to a_ smart peppering in the next two frames, however, the net result being a fist- ful of Tribal tallles. Jamieson opened the fourth with the jolt to center. moved up on a walk to Wamby and counted on Speaker’s liner over sec- ond. Wood's sacrifice placed mates on third and second. A wild pitch per- mitted Wamby to score, and Speaker registered while Shanks was retiring Gardner after knocking down Larry’s hot smash. Bul plunked a single to left at the outset of the fifth, advanced a notch on O'Neill’s tap to the box, and chased in when Uhle cracked a single to center. Successive safeties by | Jamieson and Wamby cashed Uhle. Speaker and Wood then both popped to Harris.

August 27.— Brooklyn batted two Chicago pitchers for nfneteen hits today, winning the last game of the series, 15 to 5. Zachary, with his second single, got | as far as second in round 7 on Judge's death, but was forced by Bush, and ) the last two sessions the Nationals went out in order, while they lacked the punch to take advantage of op- portunities presented earlier in the fray. In the first inning, for instance, Rice rapped into a dual killing after Bush had beat out a swinging bunt to Gardner, and in the second Shanks lined directly to Jamieson after Har- ris singled and stole, while Gharrity was flagged stealing after drawing a pass to open the third. Bush reached the midway in round 4 on a free ticket and Miller's single Chicago. AB.JL 0.A. Bkiyn.

Of course, this strange style of batting came natural to Heinie. He started as a boy with the same stance and all attempts to change it have been failures. Every new manager that came into his life tried to change young Heinie around to normal, until he refused point-blank to attempt another change.

Luber was solved for six safeties and the Marines also profited by thelr speed on the|4.9: paths. The Masons were mnot denied glory, however, for one of their num ber, Carpenter, made a catch that would hava heen a stellar feat for any =iajor leagues, The left fielder's effort probably kept the Marine score from assuming greater proportion.
