The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-07-24


Indians of Ownie Bush were to
Park today with the Saints as {
Five battles will be staged with
Nick Aliens team, two of the num-
Der being carded in double-header
Sunday, first game at o'clock.
The Trbesmen lost to the Miliers
Friday, 10 to 5, and passed up an
opportunity to gain on the Brewers,
who lost at Toledo. Louisville
climbed within one-half game of the
leaders by winning over the Saints
Friday. It's a red-hot flag fight.
Dutch Henry was slated to pitch
for the Tribe against st. Paul here
today.
The Indians fought swell battle
Friday for seven innings and were
leading, to g. until the eighth. In
that round, however, Byron Specie
weakened and the Millers staged a
rally that scored them six runs.
Specie was knocked out and was re-
lieved by Burwell, who had pitched
an entire game Wednesday. Bill was
tired and was unable to deceive the
Kels and gave way to Thompson.
The visitors collected eight hits
and a sacrifice in their fat inning,
two of the blows being doubles.
The Bushmen annexed three out
of five from the Millers.
The crowd got a big laugh in the
fourth inning Friday at the expense
Of Umpire Kuhn, Black was on
first when Hubbell singled to right
Black made the turn at second and
dashed for third. Kuhn got in his
path and the Milwaukee German
umpire was sent sprawling. He did
perfect nose dive into the dirt. 1t
seemed as though Black gave the
little official an extra push. 1t was
great comedy for the fans.
Friday was "ladies' and children's
day" Paid attendance was 1,400,
women 1000 and children 800.
Three doubles and a single rep
resented Ted Jourdan's stick work
for Friday. All his blows, were right
on the nose.
Fowler contributed three singles
and a double to harrass the Indians
Black poled three one-base knocks
and crossed the plate three times.
Sticking and Matthews played fine
fielding games for the Tribesmen.
Ford starred at short for Minneapo-
| lis.
Manager Bush of the Indians was
absent Friday on a scouting trip for
pitchers.
Catcher Hartley Of the Indians
was injured by foul tip in the
sixth and gave way to Ainsnith.
Hartley's right thumb was struck.
The big feature from the Tribe
standpoint Friday was Reb Rus
hells home run over the right cen
ter field fence in the fourth inning.
Fisher and Holke were on base
when Reb connected. 1t was a
mlSnLy DlOW.
Specie tried hard to put over a
winner. He got single and double,
his single driving in run.
The Millers collected twenty-one
hits and the Indians ten.
Sticking tripled In the eighth and
scored on Fishers single. Henry,
batting for Thompson, tripled In the
ninth after two were out and was
left.
Fowler of the Millers batted twice
in the eighth and singled both
times. Hits poured and runs flocked
in. Fowler singled and Ford moved
him up. Black singled, Gowdy sin
gled and McAuley ran for him. Bur-
well relieved Specie and Brooks
batted for Hubbell and doubled
LOTUS singled and Jourdan dou-
bled. Thompson followed Burwell on
the mound and Smith singled. Dun
can flied out, but Fowler got an
other single. The wild rally ended
when Ford fouled to Holke.
Injury suffered by Grover Hartley
Friday may keep him on the crippled
list few days along with Short
stop Shannon. The Indian man
agement is trying to dig up a catcher
to have handy in case Ainsmith is
knocked out. There is a double
header Sunday and 1t looks like a
tough afternoon for Ainsmith.
