But you never can tell. McNeely, who had been assigned to a garden post as a precautionary defensive measure after those two runs were bagged in the eighth, beat out a siow roller to Spurgeon, who had succeeded Lutzke at third. Goslin then lifted a towering fly close to the pitcher’s box, which the wind caused Burns to misjudge and the ball fell untouched for a single. Instead of pulling up at third, as the Indians evidently expected him to, McNeely streaked on for the plate and arrived there in safety when Fewster retrieved the pill and fired wildly to the stand, Goslin continuing to third base. rapped when a Scores in Double Steal. Judge then walked and with Goslin engineered a double steal that permit- tedy Leon totally, the Goose being aided when Myatt dropped Fewster's veturn of his peg.

He passed Sewell and Myatt when the fag end of the final frame arrived, and the bases were loaded when Summa's swinging bunt nestled close to the foul line half way down to third. Marberry was working like a Tro- jan in_the bull pen by this time and when Barney also falled to locate the platter for Burns, forcing Sewell in with a tally, Harris beckoned for the tall Texan, as Walter left the scene. Harvey Hendrick was nominated to hit for Fewster and looked Mar- berry’s stuff over closely before lung- ing with all he had. His effort re- sulted in a topped tap to the box, which ¥red ferried to Ruel, foreing Myatt at the plate, and Muddy dou- bled up Hendrick with a peg to Shir- ley at first. This put Summa on third and Burns on second, where they were left when George Uhle, batting for Smith, fouled to Ruel. to Play Today, Despite Leg Injury Sustained LEVELAND, May 16.—Judge had a narrow escape from serious injury in the ninth, when his spikes caught in the dirt as he slid into the plate, and sent him sprawling. When Bluege singled to right, Joe headed plateward from second and was going to score standing 1p until Peck shouted for him to s awkward effort to pull a fall-away. be assisted from the field.

A show ticket in the mu- | tuels paid $5.50 on Son_ef John. | The race, witnessed by from 70,00 fto 80,000 spectators, the greatest |throng that ever witnessed a horse {race in America, was decided under | highly dramatic conditions. After a | day of glorious sunshine, black clouds | suddenly gathered in the southwest. | threatening a deluge every second. | When the officials saw the approach of the impending storm, it was hur- riedly decided to advance the post time 20 minutes on-coming downpour. About two minutes before the 20 thoroughbreds _were lined up at the barrier for their start, a brisk shower started falling, driving the thousands lof gaily attired spectators, forced to stand out of the open to the shelter of the already packed stands and bet- ting sheds beneath. Then the shower suddenly ceased; as quickly as it had started. but the instant the race was finished, a terrific downpour cut loose, soaking thousarids to the skin. Clothes Are Ruined. Costly wearing apparel, designed along graceful lines lost their grace, colors literally and actually ran riot, while the wearers, thoroughly misera- ble in the face of the pitiless down- pour, scampered for shelter that was tifully gowned women had to siand and face the music of the drenching rain, their fashionable creations droop- ing and ruined and their clothes cli ing to_t saked bodies Leaders . gowned in crea- tions designed by artists in Paris and New York, sat in the choice box seats out in the open, without the protec- tion of the roof of the clubhouse When the storm broke they broke for shelter, and before the few that go there had rcached their .haven of refuge they looked as if they had been thrown into the Ohio River and then hung out to dry. Tears streaming shamelessly down the faces of many had turned to sadness. As the rain fell down in sheets the downpour was accompanied by flashes of lightning as vivid as the colorings of the costumes and rumblings of thunder heavier than the hoofbeats of a thousand flying horses. The horses were called to the post, but the women were no longer interested. What they wanted more than any- thing else in the world was shelter, and they began hunting for it, aban- doning stately grace for speed. Gowns that were a riot of squares, flowers, dots and other designs quickly lost their shape, flowers faded, dots enlarged irregularly and the whole mass of colors ran down, completing the discomfort of the wearers by turn- ing light-colored stockings into a con- glomeration of pink, red, blue, black and every other color. Leghorn hats, pink milan hats, large white felt hats and just hats drooped; flimsy dresses clung closely to their humiliated wear- ers and fancy shoes soaked up more water than there was room inside them comfortabiy. When the rain finally did cease, it was all too late—thousands of dollars’ worth of beautiful clothing had been ruined and thousands of equally beautiful women were miserably un- comfortable. East Scores Over West. The race was a traditional struggle between East and West. The tri- umphant Flying Ebony, one of 11 Eastern thoroughbreds in the 20 en- gaged In the contest, is Eastern only in ownershlp. He was bred in old Kentucky, and is by The Finn-Princess Mary. .
