Indians Make Sad Showing
Over Week. as Slump
Continues.

With four straight defeats against
them on the home diamond, the In.
dams were to begin a new series
this afternoon with the Milwaukee
Brewers as opponents. Just at pres.
ent both clubs are in the second
division and there was a bare
possibility that the Hoosiers would

his curve breaking in a deceptive
manner and the local right-handed
hitters We're just about helpless with
men on bases.
The Blues won Saturday. to 5.
They did not make an error in the
entire series and took full advantage
Of nearly all Tribe miscues.
Carmen Hill was the probable
pitching choice to face the Brewers
today.
Seek Winning Spark
There is no reason to explain the
downfall of the Trtbesmen. 1t ap-
pears to be a case Of an all-round
slump. The boys are wild to win,
but it seems a S though they can not
find the spark to do it with.
The Blues got eleven hits Sunday
and the Indians nine. The visitors
got eight runs and the Indians one.
That explains how weak the local
attack has been. Perhaps one vic
tory will restore confidence, but
getting that one over continues to
be mighty task.

MaryIand's Choice
Marylands own will be Canter, n

Kentucky; the hope OF New York;
and the choice Of Maryland - the
three greatest racing centers Of the
United States-pitted against each

Upon the performances of these

PARSONS HAS $4,000 BLAZE

The garage building formerly oc-
cupied by j w. Ford, Ford dealer,
was totally destroyed by fire Sunday
morning about three o'clock with all
its contents.
The property has been in the hands
of a receiver several months and not
operating but there were about
dozen secondhand cars and trucks
belonging to the property and a half
dozen cars and trucks stored in the
building, among them two trucks be-
ing used on the road construction
at the top of Haddix, one car and one
truck belonging to the Blackman
Hardware Co., the truck of the Labor
Supply Co., merchants; and others.
Also all the Ford cars parts, the
show cases, office fixtures and tools
and fixtures belonging to the gar
age Rosco Daniels is receiver, and
he had placed ten thousand dollars
insurance on the building and garage
equipment, which is probably but
little more than half the value, as
the building was large concrete
block structure, costing about $751;
600. The total loss is at least twenty
thousand dollars.
The origin of. the fire is as yet un-
determined. Paul Messick, who hap
pened to be coming into town in his
car saw the unusual light and when
he drove up found the fire had al
ready big start, and the door was
locked so he could not get in to save
any of the property. He drove around
and sounded the alarm, but it was
twenty minutes before the city hose
could not be checked. The gasoline in
cars and two or three barrels of gas
ohne made severe explosions that
threw fire and rubbish over every
thing making a terrific fire-Parsons

erett McClung, 40, mountaineer far
mer Of Fowler's Knob, about twenty
miles from here was found dead near
his home at 7 o'clock this morning.
His throat was slashed almost from

work about the farm and was found
by relatives some time later. County
authorities and the state police are
investigating.
