DUA BILE 1EADEE SItA ia L.
After g conference between Mana
gers Kelley and Hendricks at noon
today 1t was decided to stage
double header between the Saints and
Indians at Washingt0 Park tomOr-
row afternoon, first game at o'clock.
n order to make the twin bill pos
sible the game of Sept. 20 has been
moved up. The Saints appear here
fer their last visit In September.
ROgge and Petty are the probable
Tribe pitching selections for the SUN
day bargain attraction.
With two games remaining with the
Champion Sandstone today and one
Sunday-tbe Indians need one victory
to give them the edge in the series. After
winning the first two Of the big round
with the Kelleyites, the Tribe dropped
the third skirmish yesterday when
southpaw Merritt turned them back, 5
to g.
It was a peculiar contest for pitching,
for Pug Cavet was on the mound and he
gave every indication cs defeating the
Saints when, in the fourth inning be
suddenly lost effectiveness and in no
time at all the Champs had sent five
runs over the plate In the fifth. sixth
and seventh the visitors couldn't do
thing to his offerings but at this point
he dropped out FOR pinch hitter and
link. recently obtained from the Giants,
finished on the mound and was found for
three markers in the eighth.
OF six hits obtained of Cavet in seven
innings, four came in the big fourth and
these, with & bit batsmen, gave the
Saints the game.
The Indians hit total was only two
below thai Of the visitors, but the Hen
dricksmen bumped Into a couple OF
double plays that killed of their chances.
in the contest today It was likely that
Harry Weaver would hurl for the Tribe,
with either Williams or Shea for the
Saints. In the sunday game Clint
against the Champions Clint had their
number I'm the series opener and he feels
capable OF turning In second win.
There were two big features in the
pastime yesterday one spectacular
catch by Gene Morrison in center field
and the other q lengthy home run drive
by Haas Of the Saints. In the first In
