ROGGE STOPS MILLERS

With their confidence restored by virtue
Of their decisive victory scored in the
series wind-up with the Millers yester-
day, the Indians today were ready to
pitch into the Columbus Senators and
start 4 ground gaining campaign.
The Senator outfit is not an easy one
to whip, but the Tribesmen have their
war paint sticking out all over now and
they felt confident of walloping the
stiffest kind of opposition today.
Getting out from under the spell OF
the annual visit of Mr.. John JinX was
some stunt and when they had finished
with POngO Joe CantillOn's boys yester-
day the Hendricksmen were on the long
end OF an S-to-3 score. The Indians
hoped on Robertson, rated the Millers'
best pitching bet, and their hit record
for the afternoon totaled fifteen. Ihey
also stole four bases and otherwise per
formed with their former vigOr.
Clint Rogge was the hurler who led
the boys out Of the losing mire. The
big Wolverine was Ineffective in only one
inning. the seventh, when three hits,
sacrifice hit and two errors put the NIL
lers In a way to scoring three runs The
only other safety the visitors got was
in the ninth, when Fisher uncOrked
double to right to start the inning, but
Rogge frightened Immediately and Fisher
was left stranded Holding the smuggling
Millers to four hits is no small achieve
ment and Royce deserves plenty Of
credit
As for the Indians. their all-around
work was of championship order. They
negotiated three double plays and pre-
scented a fine defense in all but one in
ming. Royce did not allow anything
that locked like hit until the seventh
frame, and the three walks he issued
failed to get the Millers anywhere. Ralph
SINNERS led the Indians with the stick,
getting three safeties and stealing three
bases Hank Schroeder came out of his
slump BY pounding out a double and
single Other Trlbesmen TO get two hits
apiece were COyington, Rehg, Sticking and
Dixon
Ii was 4 grand comeback for the Hen
bricks hopefuls and the fans left the park
predicting the Indians were back on their
stride. Ii was kids day" at the park
yesterday and the manner in which the
little fellows cheered apparently served
as a factor to spur the Indians onward.
