MILWAUKEE,, Aug. 17.-Ownie
Bush's birthplace Indians were tc
make their final 1926 appearance in
Milwaukee this afternoon, and to-
night they will be on the road to
Minneapolis, where they open a four
day stand Wednesday.
Today's contest was the fourth
and last of disastrous series for the
Hoosiers. They got knocked off
again Monday. II to 10, in a wild
battle that saw three pitchers oper
ating on each side. The Tribesmen
have dropped their last five starts,
the final two in Kansas City and
three here.

up with the Brewers this afternoon.
Henry started Mondays fray, but
was withdrawn in the first inning.
He was followed by Wisner and Hill,
and Hill was charged with the de-
feat. With the score knotted at ten
and ten, Carmen took up the box
burden in the ninth and the win
ming run was scored off him.
BY winning Monday, while the
league-leading Colonies were held
idle by wet grounds at Kansas City,
the Brewers made a gain and drew
within one game Of Louisville.
The Monday battle at Milwaukee
was another heartbreaker for the
Indians to lose, and Captain Sticking
was in the depths Of dependency as
he left the field. He had a brilliant
day at bat, collecting a home run,
double and three singles in five trips
to the plate, and he stole a base,
but he ruined the day for Indian
apolis when he dropped a pop fly
after two men were out in the
seventh and Milwaukee scored four
runs after his error.
Bush has a most puzzling ball
team. 1t Is leading the league in
the fielding averages, but despite
that fact errors have cost the In
dams time and again. The Tribe
boots" seem to come at critical
periods and the pitchers appear to
crack in the spots, where the
miscues occur. It is a most unusual
condition.
Ralph Miller swatted a home run
Monday in the first inning with the
bases filed. He also got two singles.
The FIT. Wayne youth drove in three
runs Sunday and four Monday.
The absence of Shortstop Shan
non, who has been on the hospital
list for a long stretch, is gradually
killing Tribe pennant hopes. Sticking
Is erratic in the short field and Miller
is a better second baseman than a
shortstop. So there you are. Carter,
the college rookie obtained from Gin
cinnati, lacks league experience to
play regularly against tough op-
position.
