TRIBE PUSHED
TOHOLDLEAD
MilIers Gain as Result of Mon
day Games-JOnnard
Due Today.

CIiugfng to first place IN the A. A. race
by q single point the Indians today were
expected to forget the reversal OF form
that knocked EN- out Monday ana tfy
10 turn back the hustling Saints in the
fourth of the series. Big Claude Jonnarq
was slated 10 do the Tribe pitching and
the tall right handler was out 10 annex
his eighth straight victory
Some ground was lost by the Indians
as result Of the outcome Of the Monday
games here and in Louisville. the Saints
defeating the Hendricksmen, TO 2, and
the MlIIers downing the Colonies in an
eleven-fnning match at Louisville, when
Henri Rondeau cracked one on the but
ton for the circuit.
The Tribesmen had q slump In fielding
Monday and also were puzzled by the
good pitching Of Rube Benton. VINO heIo
the locals to eight hits. Kruger got
two OF the eight safeties and Tex Cow
3ngton got the Tribes only extra base
smack when he tripled Sticking home In
the first inning. The Tribes only oIher
run came in the eighth when st. faul
error helped. e..-..
on their way tO~twO runs in the third IN
ming and another error gave them tnlrq
run in the fourth. Five misplays behlnd
Cavet during the contest put the game
well within possession OF the Saints ana
also had a tendency TO cause Cayet 10
ease up in the box. As result the
Saints totaled fifteen hits during the
afternoon.
The Indians had trouble with the UNI
pires again and there seemed to be sound
reasons for creating a fuss. Doug Baird
finally was banished from the game ana
his removal forced a pig ehahge IN IN, ne
Tribe lineup, Rehg changing from leIt
field to third base, Purcell going to right
field and Brown shifting over to left.
Fusing with the umpire uset the
usual hard hitting style Of the
home crew, aud It was an easy mat
ter for the Saints 20 trOt on with the
DAYS hOnOrs. Perhaps the lax playing
was due TO a tet-dOwn after the double
victory OF Sunday for a few OF the ath-
letes did not seem to be In the proper
mood to battle at their best.
But today was another day and there
was expected to be better spirit IN
Indian circles. The attendance MONDAY
was encouraging and the attendance TINS
afternoon was expected to be even better.
The race is warm and thrilling and the
fans are worked up to point now where
pull for victory in regular Oldfashioned
pennantrOoting style.
When the game looks hopeless Walter
Rehg continues to shout and try his hard
est. Walter is not affected by tempara-
ment. He's in there all the time. boots
or no boots.
Doug Baird apparently had second
base stolen when Umpire Connolly
get himself kicked out Of the game.
Hank Schneider struck at a wild pitch
for the third strike and Umpire Daily
called It a ball. The Saints kicked and
DAILY reversed his decision. leaving Hank
the goat for he had stopped running
when he heard DAILY say ball
Pitcher Bentor had seven assists. which
means he had something pulling.
CLYDE seib batted for Cavet IN the ninth
and singled. Some feat. that. a pitcher
acting as pinch hitter and getting 4
hit.
Baird make a fine running catch OF a
foul ball hit by Boone in the fourth
It was "kids' day" and the small
boys made plenty OF noise despite the
Tribe defeat
The forward-looklng fan is buying
tickets now for next Sundays Miller

Veteran Joe Riggert got four hits for
the Saints Golvtn and Haas each got
three. Two Of Golyin's safeties were
doubles.
