(By Billy Evans) For freak ball games I recommend the one staged at Cleveland June 5 between the Indians and the New York Yankees. Here are some of the unusual things that happened: To open, Cleveland won from New "York 15-3, the worst defeat the lea- gue-leading Yankees have suffered all season. Buckeye, Cleveland's heavyweight southpaw, aside from holding the Yankees safe, was the fielding and batting hero of the afternoon. In four trips to the plate he made a8 many hits, including a home run, double and two singles. In the. field with the bases filled and no one out, he caught a line drive and started a triple play that got him out of a deep hole. Incidentally Babe Ruth made his 19th home run of the season. Tris Speakér, Cleveland's - mana- ger, also figured in the day's events in a decidedly unusual manner. The event was 4 as "Speaker Day" to honor. the famous manager of the Indians, a rather belated Sestimontal to the fact that he was the most valuable player in the American League in 1913, thi% mdst valuable player inaugurated by the Am- erican League, club managers were made ineligible. This prevented some of the greatest stars of th 10c. Tax lc. best of second Cobb, rated the 'of The Big By Art Carlson. You may put it down that the Yale bulldog is all set to take another hunk out of Johany Harvard's hide. It may not be quite as ferocious a bite as the Cambridge cousin has felt In other years, but all the same it should leave its usual after effect. This little feast is due to be stag- ed June 36th when the Blue and the timson clash in their annual row- ing carnival on the four-mile straight-away New London course. For the last five seasons the Yale bulldog has toyed with the Harvard entry. In fact, ever since that fam- ous upheaval 'in 1921, when Yale went out and whipped a Harvard shell that had entered the race a heavy 7-to-1 favorite, the New Haven canine has treatsd the foe with little Or no respect. -- Undefeated for Three Years.
