NOTES OF THE WEEKEND

Jack Hendricks Indians got an even
break over the week END, downing the
Saints, 10 to Saturday and being forced
to take the short end OF the opening game
with the MiIlers Sunday, when the Can
tiIlon vets annexed the days honors. 8 TO
l. In the Saturday fray Lee Bartlett
went the full route for the Tribe, while
the Saints used four pitchers TO no avail
The hitting feature Saturday was home
run clout over the right-feld fence by
Purcell.
The MfIlers were in grand form on
their first appearance here this season and
when the Sabbath day contest closed they
were out in front because they had made
their hits count to better advantage than
the Tribe was able to do. Schauer and
Roggs were on the firing line and the
former had the necessary stun TO tighten
in the pinches Cavet finished for the
Indians when ROgge gave way to a pinch
hitter, who didn't hit in the seventh.
Catcher Mayer of the MiIers had one
of those good days. driving in two Of his
teams runs, one coming when he lifted
the ball over the left field fence. The
MiierS started the scoring Ia the first
frame. JOurdOn led of with double,
and scored on Stockings error after one
down. Indians evened this up Immediately.
Baird beat out an infield hit, was doubled
up with Morrison, but Rehg came
through with a single, stole second and
scored on CovingtOn's double. Sad to
relate. that ended the scoring for the
home boys.
The Millers stepped out IN front IN the
fifth when Mayer cracked out his homer
and in the seventh they made their total
for the day three when Browne doubled
and scored on Mayors single.
1t was a good ball game, even II the
home team did lose. The infeld work on
both sides was especially good and
catch by Rondeau that ended the contest
was one OF those kind that seldom oc-
ours. The Frenchman took the ball with
his gloved hand just as he crashed into
the screen fence in front Of the left-feld
bleschers.
The crowd was q big o1a for Indian
apOlis, the splendid weather OF the day
bringing out the TOOters in large num-
bers The fans were IN good humOr aud
the Indians, but they were given only
: " chances TO cut loose. for Rube
Schauer was going too good out there on
the mound.
The heavy rains OF last night and this
morning piled up too much water on the
playing field and in the dugouts and
the second contest of the Miller-Trioe
series scheduled for this afternoon was
postponed. II the sunshine gets back on
the job in time the teams VIII try to re
sumo their struggle tomorrow.
Mayor Lew Shank attended the Sun
the Indians were behind interfere with
his roofing. He got hold OF Owner Smith
and introduced the blusbing Tribe boss
10 the crowd
Pitcher John Paul Jones. former Tribe
pitcher, who was released last season
when he developed an arm ailmelt that
he could net shake OF, arrived in he city
from the South today and he viii be
given a thorough chance to do a come
-
make good. for they well remember his
effective work in 1920. If John Paul can
hit anything near his old stride his
presence will bolster the hurting staf.
Browne. the new Miller shortstop.
knocked down a number Of hard ones
Sunday. but found trouble IN keeping his
fNet. He looks as though he is going TO
be a great ground cOverer with more ex-
perience.
Reb Russell. Indianapolis citizens,
blasted out one nit for the MiIlers. Rus
sell is oDs OF the greatest come-backs or
baseball.
Manager Joe Cantillon was dressed IN
Easter style on the coaching line. No,
that was not smoking Jacket he wore.
The Indians outhit the MIIlers In guam
tity blows. but not IN quality drives.
The Millers stack up as q formidable
outfit. The presence Of Jordan at first
helps them over last season. II young
Browne delivers and the pitching staff
holds MP, it's going to take 4 formidable
team to head of the Cantillon crew.
The Millers are the first official lead
ers OF the A A. race for the 1922 sea-
son They have won four and lost none
Every other a. A. team has lost one or
more games.
Three Minneapolis newspaper men are
trailing the Millers. They Ike their
club and predict z big year for Min
neapolis victories and attendance.
Hank Schneider made a brilliant play
in deep short on Fishers bid for a hit in
the third hank bounced on the ball
tack on the grass and Tipped It over 10
first just about two steps ahead OF the
Miller runner.
Ollie Olson, wrestler Of the hard dome,
knocked some pop flies with his beau
preceding the game. He let a couple Of
hard thrown balls skim of his Uranium
Just the same as If his head was made
of hard wood.
