CAIN IS MADE
BY TRIBE over
NEAREST RIVAL
Indians Improve Lead by Trim
ming Senators While Rain
Hats Saints.
BIZ EDDIE ASH
Leaders ''If" Today

Third contest of the series with the
Columbus Senators today. Bartlett
was the probable choice for Tribe
mound duty.
The Hendricksmen took 100 per
cent advantage of conditions Tuesday
and as a result they were riding well
ahead of the challenging Saints TO-
day.
The 5-to-3 victory of the Indians
here while the second-place Saints
were being held idle at Kansas City
enabled the Tribe to gain a half game.
Flag Hopes Improve
Pennant hopes of Jack Hendricks
athletes have been looking rosy al
along, but now they look roster
which helps some.
Clyde Seib, youthful box artist, en-
gagged In a pitching battle with
Snyder, hefty Columbus finger, yes
terday and the Tribe rookie won,
though it was necessary to send
Harry Weaver to his assistance in the
ninth.
Snyder was not easy by any means
and he didn't weaken until the eighth,
the round in which the Indians won
the game.
That Rally Did 1t
True, the Tribe had scored a marker
in the third. but it was not enough by
a whole lot, as events of the day
turned out. In the third stanza Baird
walked and scored on Covington's dou-
bile. 1t was the only run scored in the
game until the Tribe cut loose with a
big rally in the eighth with four OF
those things that are hard to get.
After one out Sticking singled. Gov
ington walked Brown hit a sizzling
single. Rehg crashed a triple and
Kruger came through with a sacrifice
fly.
In the ninth the Senators opened
up on Seib, getting a single and two
doubles before Weaver went in. Harry
was slightly cold, but he soon warmed
up and checked the Columbus efforts.

Senators.

Of Sunshine State hopes that one
day one of the greatest naval
ships, that sailed the high seas,
would bear the name of South Da-

yesterday instructed Secretary of

after this state, stopped.
The ship was being constructed
at the New York navy yard and
work was quite we'll advanced.
With two other ships, it was to EN-
body all the latest improvements
in naval warfare and set the pace
for others to follow for probably
several years to come.
However, along with many 9TH

never be completed unless there

proven its healing qualities in nun

I. S. Hansen. Capa; Harry Quack-

Erickson, Fl. M. Isenberg, of
Pierre.
The plans of the organization
are to build "A modern and up-to-
date sanitarium, to make use of
the hot water at Capa. for the
benefit of the sick. This sanitari-
um when completed will mean
much to the entire community
and will put before doubling ones
