GOSSIP OF THE TEAMS

The Indians had their last chance to-
day to trip up the sIugging Mflers and it
was probable that Harry Weaver would

curves In an effort to give the Hendricks
men one game out of the series. ne
Kansas City Blues, another hard hitting
crew, Will be here tomorrow TO make
their first appearance at Washington
Park and they will remain for four
With the Blues will Mr. Bunny Brief,
champ home run batter OF the American
Association; Beals Becker, who last win
ter was reinstated IN organized baseball
after being an outlaw for awhile; RUDE
Lutzke. former Indianapolis infelder;
Nick Carter, former Indianapolis pitcher,
and Dutch Zwilling, former Indianapolis

A. A. standing and they have been picked
by various sport critics a s one of the
formidable clubs of the 1922 race.
The Miller-Indian contest at Wash
ington Park yesterday was a wild
affair. the visitors finally furnishing
on the long end Of of 11-to-9 score,
Umpire Murray donating the Tribe its
ninth run in the ninth on a play that
had many of the Onlookers puzzled. How
ever the extra run was not Of Importance
because the third out was made a few
moments after it had scored.
The Indians used fifteen players in
hopeless effort to grab the contest out
OF the fire. four of the number being
pitchers, two pinch hitters and one q
pinch base runner. Hill started on the
mound for the Tribe and he was opposed
by Mangum. Both were easy and did
not last long. Seih followed Hill on the
firing line and Williams followed Man
gum. WEel Sei0 weakened Petty went

blew up for the Millers Haid took up
TIE pitching for Cantillon. Petty later
dropped out for a pinch hitter and Pug
Cavet enished. Haid stuck it out for the
visitors.
Eacn team got an even dozen hits. but
the Indian defense cracked and the Can
tillonites were handed a few unearned
markers. Walter Rehg had q tough day
in left field, three errors being chGiked
against him. He also had difficult time
at the bat. The sun seems to be both

he committed only six errors the entire
season.
There was so much batting, poor
pitching and substitutions made that the
game consumed more than two hours. In
the first inning Minneapolis scored twice
and the Indians came back with three.
In the second frame the Millers scored
four times and the Indians came back
with three again. In the third the NIL
lers scored two more, but this time the
Tribe was unable 10 follow suit. In the
seventh the Millers stepped out for three
additional runs and the Indians man
aged to get one over in their half Of the
seventh. The Tribe scored one marker in
both the eighth and ninth innings against
none for the Millers, but the Cantillon-

The Indians got a run donated to them
in the ninth in this manner: Sticking

walked. Attreau batted for Cavet and
grounded to Jourdon, Sticking and Nor
