TRIBE FIGHTS
TO COAX BACK
TIMELY BLOWS
HOLSTERS Feel All They Need
Is Fresh Start and They'll
Speed Again.
CAYET HAS OFF-DAY

The Indians were in a scrappy mood
today and were set to fight like wild
men in an effort to get back on their
battling stride.
In the two games since returning home
from their successful road trip the Hoo
siers have found it impossible to get
hits with men on bases, but today they
felt that they were due and hence the
fans were expecting to see the Tribes
men throw the hooks into Jack Egan's
Brewers in the third game of the series.
Paul Jones was slated to face JAKE
NorthroP on the mound and, as the
Hoosiers have whaled Jakes offerings
before, they saw no reason why they
shouldn't come through this afternoon
Both teams were in belligerent attitude
today as a result Of some wOrdy war
fare yesterday and a contest Of thrills
was promised.
The Brewers walked off with the
hOnors yesterday, to 1, when the Wis
itors found Cavet's offerings while the
Indians failed TO do much with Me
Wheeneys slants. In fact the Milwaukee
rs only six hits.
McWheeney was in unusually good
form all the way and 1t Is not likely
that any club I'm the association could
have beaten him.
The Brewers scored i'm the second
when Hap Hum got around on his
double. an out and a sacrifice ny. In
the seventh they scored two more marx
ers, one again in the eighth and three
in the ninth.
The Tribe got its lone run in the
eighth when SINNERS made the circuit
on his single, an error, an out and an in
field play.
Rehg was the only Hoosier to do much
with the Brewer pitchers offerings, Wal
ter getting two hits out Of four trips,
Hap HUM was the same old dangerous
Hap with the bat and. though he was
passed twice, he managed to whang out
two doubles. On the two occasions HUM
was walked Cavet chose that means to
bring about chances for double plays
and the tactics worked perfectly both
times, with Gearin the victim.
The HOOsiers were somewhat de-
pressed by the second defeat in two days.
but they felt today that all they need is
a start and they will again be on their
way
Two or more runs in one rally Will
just about swing the team back into its
stride and the Tribesmen were out TO
clean up this afternoon.
