J the Indians today had a last chance to

| or Hill was to do the chucking for the
| Tribesmen this afternoon and the Hen
! dricksmen were hopeful Of emerging
| from their fielding slump and put oveI
: victory.
Claude Jonnard battled Charlie Hall

playing havoc. The final Saint run was
scored in the ninth OFF of Bartlett, who
had taken up the Tribe pitching when

the sixth and one In the seventh. Their
sixth inning rally was n corker, three
singles and a double nearly forcing the
veteran Hall TO call for assistance, The
sevent inning run came when Purcell
batted for Jonnard and lifted the ball
over the right field fence for the circuit.
Some pinch hitting, that! Brown got
two Of the Tribes six hits, both being
doubles.
The Tribe defeats suffered Monday and
Tuesday and other incidents has awak-
ened the Indian bosses to the fact that
the roster needs bolstering. The fact
that the club does not have an extra in
fielder is hurting the teams chances dur
ing the hot race and wires have been
sent out in effort to land player capa-
bile Of going in when one Of the regulars
slumps or gets hurt.

orning for a get together meeting and
ralkfest over plans for big series with the
Millers opening tomorrow. The Tribe
players are wild to get back into the lead
and believe they can do it Z they get half
