clubs will perform against the Bet
zelites.
st. Paul, Kansas City, Milwaukee,
Columbus and Toledo, in the order
named, will follow Minneapolis to
the Tribe plant. If the Tribesmen
are going to show pennant class,
once more it is logical to believe
they will do it during this extended
home stand.
Bad Reverse at Toledo
The locals got knocked down in
the siX-game series that closed at
Toledo Sunday and we're in fifth
place in the A. A. standing today.
Five struggles were lost to the
league-leading Hens, the Indians
finally winning one Sunday in the
first half of double-header.
Eddie Sticking is back with the
club and he's performing at short
stop. Ralph Miller again is filling
the utility role and Larry Kopf is
on the suspended list "by mutual
agreement" 1t was necessary to
hand Kopf temporary suspension
in order to keep the Indians within
the league player limit.
The Indians dropped two games
and annexed one over the weekend
at Toledo. Saturdays contest was
a defeat, to g., and in the first tilt
Sunday Specie pitched great ball
and led the Hoosiers to an IL to
victory.

Immediately and were shut out in
the second Sabbath fray, 10 to O,
when they failed to solve what old
Jeff Pfeffer dished up.
The Toledo park was packed Sum
day and ground rules we're neces-
sary, as the crowd overlooked onto
the field. Official paid attendance
was 1924 and it was said total at
tendance was over 10000 with pass
holders and wood" included.
Toledo certainly is having a ire
mendous baseball season. The Ohio
city never has won a pennant in
the A. A. and the Hen fans are
wild over their league leaders.
A postponed game with Toledo at
Indianapolis was transferred to the
Hen City in order to make that
double header Sunday. There has
been so many Washington Park
games knocked out by bad weather
that Tribe officials readily agreed
to playing one off in the Hen camp
The Indians collected Is hits in
the opener Sunday and only five i'm
the finale. Perhaps the boys blew
their corks" running bases in the
first tilt.
