German Baffles Cleveland Batters
There was no spell, no black magic -- just good pitching.

Les German of the Baltimore Orioles blanked the Cleveland Spiders, 2-0, at Union Park today, and he did it the old-fashioned way. After finishing the 2-hit, complete-game shutout, he was all smiles.

"I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game," German said. "I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."

German walked 0 and struck out 1 in the victory.

"He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes," Spiders manager Robert Armstrong said later.

This year German has recorded a 10-19 mark. In 28 starts he has fanned 77 batters in 271.2 innings with a 3.35 ERA.
