place the locals, but they hoped to re-
duce the Indians lead to half a game.
The Cleveland players were determined
to increase their advantage to two and
half games before leaving tonight
for st. Louis, where they are sched
uled to play four games, beginning to-
morrow.
The Indians and White Sox had split
even in the two games played here.
Chicago won Thursdays game, 10 to 3,
but was defeated yesterday to 0.

ball' pitcher of the league leaders, was
slated TO go to the mound to-day. He
