AS was predicted. the Indians found
the Brewers a hard nut to crack in the
series opener at Washington PARK
Wednesday and it is further predicted
that the remainder OF the series will af-
lord the fans plenty Of thrills.

in good spirits and they are at that stage
where they are capable of giving any
team plentiful opposition under any and
all conditions.

out to the mound to oppose Young Joe kie-
fer, who threatens to develop a habit Of
trimming the HOosiers. Eiefer was an
and he evidently means to rub IL in. At
any rate. he was in fairly effective form
yesterday and managed TO squeeze out a
victory. Enzmann failed to last and gave
way to Stryker, who finished in good
style. The burly Brewers took a liking
TO Enzmann's stuff and, coupled with his
wildness, they got sufficient runs to put
them beyond the Hendricksmen for the
day.
Ralph SINNERS got an inside the park
homer In the fourth, and this blow shook
kiefer up some, but a break of the
game saved him. After Ralph had socked
out his four sacker Rehg and Morrison

Brewers, so the stuff was OF that inning

ever, and delivered a solid smack.
