In the senior circuit one of the
closest races in years is forecast,
with only four and a half games
separating thes first place Cincinnati

ton eleven games separate the
Yankees from the Cleveland Indians
and Detroit Tigers, tied for fifth po-
sition.

is the return to form Of the Giants.

be costly.

Indians and Hens in Finale
Today-Tribe Wins
Two of Three.
BY Eddie Ash

With two victories scored in. three
starts over the weekend, Ownie
Bush's Indians were to close the
series with the Toledo Hens today
and Carmen Hill was slated to per-
form on the local mound. The Bush
men won Saturday, to 2, with
Henry twirling, and the Sunday twin
bill was divided, the Hens taking
the first, to 1, and the Indians the
second, 3 to 2.
Showers delayed hostilities Sun
day, but the teams managed to go
through with the program and 5000
fans saw two fine ball games. Bur
well lost tough one in the opening
tilt to Tim Mcnamara, recently Of
the New York Giants.
Bill Fans Eight
Burwell struck out eight men and
did not issue a walk, but the breaks
went against him and Mcnamara
was tight enough in the pinches to
smother threatened Tribe rallies.
The o'clock Sunday closing law
held the second struggle to seven
innings, and that's when the Indians
won-in the seventh, with one man
out. Holke got a break to start the
Indians on the way to victory when
his bounder hoped over Groh at
third as the sun blazed in Heinie's
eyes. Matthews ran for Holke, Mil
Ter sacrificed, Russell batted for
Rehg, and was walked Intentionally.
Henry Delivers
Dutch Henry was inserted to bat
for Hartley against right-handed
pitching and singled to right, scor-
ing Matty to win the game. 1t was
an exciting finish and Henry was
the hero. Jack Wisner hurled for
the Indians and Woolfork, Johnson,
Caravan and Lyons pitched for the
Hens.
In the wind-up of the series today
women and school children were to
be admitted free. 1t was the first
kids day If the season. Tuesdays
game was played as part of Sun
days double-header and the Indians
will have two off day
and Wednesday. They depart for
Minneapolis Wednesday, where they
open a series Thursday. The team
will be away from home for long
stretch.
