But that ts commercial and morbid let's talk about Ray Caldwell, the former Yank, who nicked his name in the Hall of Fame at the expense of his old teammates, Yes, oir, after many years of vicissitude the old telegraph operator, wearing the uni- form of Ban Johnson's Cleveland team, as the saying goes in court, stepped out and pitched @ no-hit, no- run game. In all of his previous years of good, bad and indifferent pitching, Ray's best record was two-hitter, But! there can be no question about the berfection of his performance yester- day. Just two men reached first base. Frank Baker arrived there safely on an error by Wambsganss and Hannah got a bage on balls. ‘That is the sum total of the Yank effort. Caldwell's form was so perfect that the crowd caught the idea of a no-hit game from the start, and at the finish the home talent ‘was in a high fever for fear one of our athletes would meet the ball squarely for a bit, It was the first no-hitter they had seen this year, and the ovation was 4 great one, ‘This too in spite of the fact that Caldwell’s bad behavior had caused his release from the Yanks and a subsequent release froin Boston. The excellence of his pitch- ing overshadowed any little flaw in his past reputation, But without runs any amount of pitching could not have won for the Indians, 80 it behooves Joo Harris to bring up his heavy artillery. Joe has just recovered from wounds re- ceived while in the army overseas, and it may be that Pershing Day re- called to him those days of hard- mauling. Many of the players and the crowd heard a rumor to the effect that Gen. Pershing was a visitor at the game, and Joe promptly rose to great heights, With @ runner on base ahead of him he poled a mighty wal- lop into the stand for a home run. Later, another runner got aboard and he socked one of Carl Mays's under- handers for two bases, sending in the third run, In other words, the victory was a perfect collaboration between Ray Caldwell and Joe Harris, Others did not matter—not even the Yanks, In the second game a newtsh pitcher called Uhle did the twirling for the Indians, and the Yanks failed to make any impression upon him. The double defeat was a hard blow for both the Colonels, who sat in the Press box, and had as their guest Joe Lannin, former owner of the Boston Red Sox. ‘The bottom appears to have fallen out of the Yanks during the last few games, due largely to the absence or it vacation of Murderer’s Row. ‘The heavy hitting has sagged Wwofully and, without heavy artilery, Huggins and his men are alwaye stopped dead in their tracts, They have made but three runs in the last thirty-six in- nings, which is to say four games, They had but one run in twenty- seven Innings before the second game yesterday, They were shut out in two games, and made but one run in the other, That slump in hitting is re- sponsible for thowe heavy lines in Huggins's cheeks, . ‘There will be another game with Cleveland to-day, and there may be 4 shake up in the local batting order to escape the jinx. Detroit and White Sox are coming soon, and the Yanks must put up a hard fight or be kicked out of the first division. ‘Dr. Clark, Formerly Sammy, Beats the Celebrated Cleo- patra in Nursery Stakes.
