BIZ Times Special
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 9.-With
three in a row "in the bag" over

taking this afternoons struggle,
the wind-up fray of their visit. The
Hoosiers go to Toledo tonight, where

hit once. He scored three runs and

Four Hits for Layne
Layne collected a double and
three singles, scored three times and
drove in four mates. Against a COM
bination like Russell and Layne
Thursday the Senators had very lit
tie chance.
Louis Koupal kept ten Columbus
hits fairly well scattered while his
mates bombarded Biemiller and took
advantage of walks issued by the
local hurler. The Columbus battery
had wild day. Biemiller walked

TIGERS, MATS SUFFERED


gill the first-division clubs
Ia have had their good and bad
tx periods, the New York Amer
leans excepted.
Early in the season Detroit looked
bad. Slowly the club began to
strike its stride. Getting above the
500 mark it proceeded to startle
the baseball folks by thirteen
straight victories. a seasos, record.
Just when it seemed as if the club
was invincible, six straight defeats
followed.
For six weeks during July and
August, Washington played about
700 baseball and had hopes Of
making things interesting for New
York in the stretch. Then fol-
lowed the worst trip Of the year in
the majors.
Opening at st. Louis, Washing
ton won the first game. During
the remainder of the trip not an
other victory was recorded. The
closest was a fiftoen-inning tie
with Detroit. The Mats record
for the western trip was one vic
tory and twelve defeats.
