Hurry-'em-up Hendricks and his
hurrying Hoosiers hurricaned into town
today occupying second place in the
league race after winding up their long
road trip at Columbus Sunday by throw
ing the singer into Bill Clymer's Sena-
tors twice the same day. to 3, eleven
innings and 3 to I.
1t was a glorious finish to a remarkable
Journey and local fans are swelling up
with pride to the point Of bursting.
In fact. there is evidence that the city
il baseball dafy and the welcome TO ne
given the Tribe athletes tomorrow when
they clash with the Milwaukee Brewers
at Washington park no doubt Will make
the PLAYERS feel that their heroic ef-
forts have been appreciated.
FANS WORKED
Up OVER TRIBE.
Every one seems to be talking base
hall and If the attendance tomorrow
doesn't smash weekday records here the
dopesters will be off in their guess.
Manager Hendricks reports all men IN
shape, barring Jess Petty. or COURSE
who has been crippled for some time
The Tribe boss says he never managed
or heard of such a fighting team as the
Indians have demonstrated on the long
trip. and he feels that with any sign OF
q slip on the part Of the Saints he pre-
diets the Tribe viii take another hop into
that flag position.
The Indians played in Columbus twice
on the trip and their record IN thAt city IS
a sample of what kind of a pace the team
f. going. Out of nine games against the
Senator's the HOosiers won eight, four
out of five the first visit and four straight
the second visit, ending yesterday.
It's needless to go into details regard
ing fbe other good points Of the Indians
mad dash up the pennant ladder because
Hoosier fans have been following the
daily dope without missing anything.
PLENTY OF NOISE
HERE TOMORROW.
In fact, many fans are on the verge OF
collapse. so hard have they been pulling
for their favorites and the roofing al
the Washington park lot tomorrow is ex-
pected to resemble a series or explosions
Charlie WhitehOuse added more glory
to his mounting fame in Columbus yes
terday by doing relief work IN the first
game and then stepping out into the sec
0nd contest and WANING IT.
More Tribe comeback stun featured
both battles. The HOOsiers scored three
in the eleventh to win the days opener
and In the second they rallied IN the
nlnth, scoring twice and clinching that
struggle.
The Indians had to beat the best hurl-
ers on the Columbus stan to wind up
their trip with . double victory, down
Charlie WhitehOuse got into the hitting,
and his triple in the ninth frame Of the
second game practically won that con
test.
owner Smith saw the windup at Co
lumbus and returned home with the club.
The whole world looks different to the
Tribe president and he is ready to de-
clare his team the best bunch OF ball
players on the big minor map.
Bad luck had President Smith stagger
ing for awhile but. being a true sports
man, he refused TO give up and met
every setback with more determination
to make good
Working hand in hand with Manager
Hendricks, the Tribe president sIw the
team gradually lifted out Of the rut IN
iii right now indianapolis is getting
more baseball publicity and prestige
than any other MINOR league city in the
country
The amount OF advertisement the city
has received from the great drive the
team has made is tremendous. It's the
talk Of minor league baseball circles.
