First Western Invasion Ends by Indians Being Victorious Cleveland, May 28.—The Western jaunt of the Yankees came to a finish here yesterday afternoon, when Cleve- land put on a batting jubilee at the expense of two New York pitchers, and won by a score of 7 to 3. The Indians drove Ray Caldwell from the box in the third inning, col- lecting seven hits and six runs before he was taken out. Russell was inef- fective during a short stay in the box, and not until Slim Love took up the work did the Indians become tame. The Yankees did enough hitting in the early innings to throw a scare into the Indians and to chase Lam- beéth from the box, but they were very quiet after Jim Bagby began to operate. Bagby held the New York- ers helpless from the time he re- lieved Lambeth in the fouth inning, and the Indians’ lead ' was nevec threatened. The score: - T h e New York ..... 013000000—8 7 3 Cleveland 14110000x—7 10 1 Caldwell,' Russell, Love d Walters; Lambeth, Bagby and O'Neil. Battle to a 'Tie. St. Louis, May 28.—Boston and 8t.
