Tribes probable hurlers today. The
Indians engaged in two extra inning
battles here Saturday and Sunday,
winning Saturday, to 2 in ten in
nings and going to a / and 1
twelve inning draw Sunday, dark
ness ending the Sabbath day action.
The box work of the Hoosiers has
been very good against the Memphis
club, but the hitting and baserunning
Of the Tribe brought no cheers from
Manager Bush. The Hoosiers were
in a batting slump over the week
end and several dumb plays occurred
on the bases.
Stout Aggregation
Memphis appears to, have a stout
aggregation and the Indians have
been getting furious opposition.
Schemanske and Fitzsimmons
pitched Saturdays game and both
turned in satisfactory performances.
Hill, Burwell and Henry did
the Tribe hurting Sunday and
the one Memphis run was scored
off Burwell i'm the ninth inning.
Burwell allowed only three hits
in four sessions, but two Of the
safeties came in the ninth and
knOtted the ball game.
Letter singled after one out and
Milan ran for him. Anderson flied
to Rehg, but Burwell got careless
with Rhinehardt and the Memphis
right fielder tripled over Christen-
bury's head. scoring Milan. Schrei-
Der tossed out Taylor to retire the
side.
The Indians lone marker Sunday
came in tie eighth inning and 1t
was unearped. Burwell reached
first base. on an error by Smith.
Christenbury popped to Smith and
then Sticking doubled to deep center,
scoring Burwell. Sticking YVES cut
down trying for three bases. Hodapp
followed with a single but was left
stranded by Rehg.
Only Seven Hits
The Indians got only seven hits
in the twelve innings and the
Memphis total was the same. III
the Saturday victory the Indians
gathered eleven hits but failed to
connect in the pinches. Schneider
won the Saturday contest with a
double in the tenth.
Dutch Henry, southpaw
hurler obtained from Brooklyn
in the Petty deal, pitched the
last three innings Sunday and
his work was impressive. He
has good action. He allowed two
hits, but both were scratches,
and he struck out two men.
Bush was elated over the form
displayed by his new lefthander.
Owner Smith has been trying to
purchase pitcher Yarmouth, Mem
phis southpaw, but President Wat
kins of the local club has not ar
rived at a decision. 1t is said
Yarmouth has not attached his
signature to a contract, and Wat
kins is waiting for the pitcher to
sign before placing price on him.
Yarmouth hurled the first three
innings against the Indians Sunday
and held them to three hits and no
runs. Manager Bush is very eager
to obtain Yarmouth and is doing
his best to put over the deal.
OM Man Merz
Old Man Otto Merz, who used to-
pitch for Indianapolis about ten
years ago, hurled the fourth and
fifth innings for Memphis Sunday
land was found for only one single
by the Hoosiers. Moss and Saldera
were other twirlers used by the Dixie
leaguers.
The Indians were outlucked on
numerous solid drives Sunday, but
Bush was very much displeased with
the teams batting exhibition. Ray
Schmandt was back at first base and
got himself two doubles. Sticking
got two solid wallops and Hodapp
scratched out two singles. The
other Hoosier hit was obtained by
Kruger.
