Commission of Virginia. This money
is primarily to be spent in completion
of the link from Oak Hall to the new
concrete north of Nelsonia, distance
something less than eight miles. 1t
is not expected that it will take more
than $250,000 to complete this last
mentioned stretch leaving available a

Tribal Notes

Paul Waner, an outflelder by trade,
worked like an experienced first
sacker for the Pirates, Thursday.
He was like cat around the bag.
Pie Traynor bumped into an unus-
ual double play in the first inning.
Matty singled and died stealing.
Voter doubled and on Layne's
grounder, Traynor bluffed throw
to first and then dashed for Voter,
who was trapped off second. A run
down play occurred and Traynor
threw to Grantham, who retired
Voter. Layne kept running and
Traynor sprinted for second, took
Grantham's throw on the run and
nipped Layne sliding in.
Layne's home runs went over the
low fence in left. The first cleared
the barrier and the second hoped
over.
Ownie Bush was picture of pep
and kept his Pirates hustling
despite the heat.
The Indians took keen delight in
knocking off the big leaguers and
displayed an improved brand of
ginger.

Pittsburgh Pirates in an exhibition

The Tribesmen and Hens will
battle in a double-header Saturday
and fans are looking forward to see
ing plenty of action. Toledo, lead
ing the league, has a smart,
hustling, hard-hitting team that
looks the part of a champion.
Road Trip Nears
The Indians go on the road for
a long stretch following the battle
today and the twin bill Saturday.
The first stop will be at Louisville,
where series will be started with
the Colonies Sunday.
"Ownie Bush day" Thursday sup
piled the rooters with fine enter
tainment. About 1000 fans were
present and they got a big kick out
Of the affair when the Indians
rallied in the seventh inning and
scored six runs.
Bush used only part Of the regu-
lar lineup and third string pitchers
and the local FASTENERS perked up
and got plenty Of hits.
Layne, Matty Shine
Herman Layne, former Pirate,
poled two home runs for the after
Moons outstanding feat in the bat
ting line. In the field Wild Mat
thews was brilliant, having seven
putouts, two being of the spectacle
lar order. Wild also got two singles
and a triple.
Pie Traynor, expert third sacker
and one of the very best hot-corner
guardians in the majors, collected
three hits to lead the Pirate attack.
The big leaguers got twelve hits to
fourteen for indianapolis.
Nichols hurled seven rounds for
Pittsburgh and House twirled in
the eighth. Schemanske did the
Tribe chucking for six innings and
Swetonic finished.

Ownie was on the coaching line
throughout the contest.
Grantham Hurt
The Pirates, leading the National
League by the slender margin of
one-half game, are handicapped by
injuries and Bush's mainstay pitch
ers are hard up for rest. Ownie used
six regulars, however, in the Waner
brothers, Traynor, Grantham, Barn.
hart and Spencer. Grantham was
limping after the contest and the
Pirate trainer feared the second
sacker would be forced to rest.
The Pirates left for Pittsburgh
Thursday night, where the Cincy
Reds were to be met today.
