TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept, 19.-Six
more games to go!
The Indians of Bruno Bethel won
again here Tuesday, 7 to 2, and to-
day they were to engage the Hens
in the fifth and last battle of the
seriees, after which both clubs will
depart for indianapolis to open
another five-set session Thursday
to wind up the A. A. campaign.
Bill Burwell pitched the Tuesday
victory and he had plenty of stuff.
The old determination showed in
every motion His mates battered
out nine hits and he added two
to make the Tribe hit total eleven.
Hold Slender Lead
The triumph enabled the Indians
to protect their one-game lead over
the Minneapolis Millers in the pen
nant struggle. 1t wasn't Burwell'S
turn to toll, but Manager Bethel be-
lieved Bill would be the best bet
for the day and sent him to the
mound.
The Tribe boss is not following
turns" now, for the end is near
and the pennant hinges practically
on every game. He can not afford
to lose even one contest.
Long One to MilIers
Minneapolis downed Kansas City
Tuesday, to 1. in eleven innings
and moved to Milwaukee today to
start a six-game series with the
Brewers, who are in third place six
games behind, which means that q
victory for either Millers and In
dams today will eliminate the
Cream City outfit from its last
chance" hope.
Bethel has his Hoosiers playing
bang-up baseball and the FASTENERS
are confident they will bring Indi-
annapolis its first pennant since 1917.
The fielders are grabbing everything
within reach and the pitchers are
bearing down on every batter. The
only Tribe miscue Tuesday was a
dropped throw by Holke late in the
tilt.
Burwell was the perfect master
of ceremonies Tuesday, allowing
but eight hits, and did not issue a
single base on balls. He was touched
the hardest after his mates had
established a safe lead. The hits

from Sweeney's bat in the last half
of the second frame. The second
was by Crawford in the fifth.
Singles by Connolly and Haney in
the third canto put the Indians in
scoring position, but Koenecke
struck out and Blenkiron flied to
Fullis to end the threat.

on Warstler's double and scored on
Holke'S sacrifice fly to Veach to give
the Indians their fourth run in the
fourth spasm.

as the result of two hits and two
errors. The seventh run came in
the sixth. From then on there was
no need of scoring; the game was
on ice.
The Hens scored their lone run
in the eighth when Holke dropped
Burwell's assist and Messner was
safe. Two hits scored Messner.
The weather Tuesday was chilly
and cloudy, perfect feotball day
Len KOenecke, Tribe rookie right
fielder, found JEFF Pfeffer a puzzle
Tuesday and struck out three times.
Memo LeibOId's Columbus Sena-
tors have won seven consecutive
games. Now what do you think of
tina? They swept the Louisville
series of six games.
Clyde Barnhart, veteran outfielder
loaned to the Indians by the Pitts
burgh Pirates, was permitted to go
to his home today. He has been
i'll and unable to play. He appeared
at hat On1V twice since iOi11inC tho
