He had merely written a prelude to Shaw's Caesar & Cleopatra. Shaw listened, pondered, approved...
...hitting well but the red-legged fielders were uncertain judging distances and fumbled. In the fourth Bob Meusel struck out with the bases full. Cincinnati was leading in the last half of the seventh when the Indians made eight runs on four hits, three walks and an error. Final score: Indianapolis 17, Cincinnati...
