TRIBE RETURNS
FOR LONG STAY
IN HOME YARD
Disastrous Road Trip SOftenas
Some by Even Break With
Leaders.
SAINTS POUND RoGGE

Riding the rattlers last night and to-
day, the Indians will steam into their
home town this evening, back for a long
stretch Of games that will make or break
them in the 1920 A. A. race.
The Hoosiers met with all kinds OF
setbacks in the trip around the entire
circuit, but the run Of defeats was tenn
pered to some extent by their record
against the leading Saints, with whom
they closed yesterday.
Getting an even break out Of series
of four games with Mike Kelley's slug
gers is no light achievement and indi-,
Gates to some extent that the club really7
has talent, despite the weakness in tia
pitching staff.

ladder shortly. The Tribe has played
only seven games at home since the sea-
son opened, so the club therefore is look
ing forward to the extended stretch oR
games a Washington park for the ex-
pected victories that viii place it up in
the race.
IN the windup contest at st. Paul yes
terday the Saints downed the Hoosiers,

for plenty Of hits and runs. His support
was not Of the best, but even with per-
feet backing he would have lost because
the Saints hit quite Justify.
Manager Kelley used Browne against
the Indians and the youth hurel u fairly
strong brand of ball.
AS usual the Tribesmen grabbed the
lead, but In the Third inning the game
practically was lost when the Saints
came through with a rally that produced
I four markers, two Of the runs resulting
when Elmer Miller blasted a circuit
smash with one man on.
OAIARA PILES

Ollie O'Mara checked Up three mora
hits for himself and was the Hoosier
star. 1t was a big batting series for
Ollie as well Us Berghammer, the Saint
second baseman.
