while his mates were collecting ten
off Eddie Setback, one of the locals
best fingers.
The -,Tribesmen today were still
three games behind the Columbus
Senators, who hold fourth place in
the A A standing, and all the
Hoosiers expressed a desire to sweep
the series here.
The Tribesmen want to horn in on
the first division and they believe
they'll accomplish the feat on the
present road trip.
The Indians came from behind to
win Wednesday. The score was to
in favor of the Brewers when the fifth
inning rolled around, but after that
session, in which the Hoosiers Tailed
four times, the Brewers were done for
the afternoon.
The Hendricksmen counted one
more marker in the sixth, and there
the scoring ended.
The contest was played in fast time,
the game consuming only one hour
and twenty-five minutes. Only about
1000 fans were present as the base
ball enthusiasm here is at low ebb be-
cause of the recent poor road record
Of the Brewers.
