| Sultan of Swat did not disappoint |
The power-stroking 26 Yankees club bludgeoned its way to victory in the
first two, wild and woolly games of this series, with lots of offense
and scores of 14-9 and 12-5. Cleveland managed to finally get great
pitching in game three, as Mel Harder twirled eight innings of one run
ball (no small feat against this Murderers Row lineup) to move to 3-0.
Notably, Bob Feller of the Indians, who was so good in his first two outings, gave up nine runs and three homers in game one in the FIRST INNING and hit the early showers. Behind 9-0 and then then 14-3, Cleveland did make a valiant comeback but couldn't surmount the Yankees' early fireworks.
In the second game, the Yankees' Urban Shocker was staked to an early, 5-0 lead, as Cleveland's Al Milnar was hit hard, but Shocker was gone in the fourth. Reliever Bob Shawkey came in to fan six over the next four innings as the Yankees rolled.

Game Three was all Mel Harder, along with a three RBI day from Hal Trosky. Harder and the Injuns were only ahead 2-1 going into the bottom of the eighth but erupted for five more runs off a tiring Waite Hoyt for the 7-1 win.
The Yanks are clubbing their way to wins and are now 8-3. The team has 18 homers in 11 games, led by Babe Ruth's six. Lou Gehrig also hit for the cycle in game two as part of the offensive dance party hosted by New York.
