ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 27.-The

some sand today to put under their
skid wheels. They moved over to
this city Sunday, after dropping the
series final with the Millers at Min
neapolis Saturday, and two games
were staged here before Sabbath
day crowd estimated at 5000.
To make the story short, the Indians
lost the double-header. both scores
being shut-outs, to 0. Three more
contests are to be played with the
Kelleyites and maybe the Tribesmen
will win one Of the number 1t will
be some task to win even one, how
ever. because the Saints are mad after
the pennant and are going like the
wind
Tribe Almost Helpless
1t was a case of too much Hall and
too much Markle. Sunday. The In
dams were nearly helpless before the
mastery mound work Of these two
hurlers.
Hall worked the first game and
allowed but seven scattered hits while
Markle in the final was nicked but
twice. Hall was in trouble a couple
Of times. but double plays aided him.
Morse and Boone contributed some
nifty fielding.
Bono, who opposed Hall, was very
wild and after issuing six walks, four
coming in the second inning, two with
the bases full he was lifted for Fitz-
simmons, the latter working very
well.
Two Scattered" Hits
In the final fray Markle was the
complete master. He was nicked by
Christen5ury in the fourth and Tom
/ Whelan in the fifth. That was all, In
| seven innings the Tribe went out In
order and a grand total Of but thirty
men faced him. Not single batter
reached third.
The double win keeps the Saints
right up with the mad Kaws in the
hectic nag race The Saints, since
coming home, have lost but three
games. They have copied since re-
turning from the road sixteen out OF
nineteen battles.
