RY EDDIE ASH


Mike Kelley's Millers finally
bumped into a setback after leav-
ing their small park and dropped
three in q row at Kansas City,
Heinie Meme blanking them, 2 10
0, Monday, allowing only five hits.
And the Indians, idle for the day
prof1ted thereby to the extent they
were one full game out in front
this morning with seven games
to go.
Manager Bethel was to lead his
Hoosier FASTENERS back against the
Hens in Toledo today in the fourth
tilt of the series and there will be
another single fracas over there
Wednesday before the Tribesnfen
return home to wind up the season.
Millers and Brewers
Minneapolis also has seven con-
tests remaining, one with the Blues
and six with the Brewers at Mil
waukee. And while Millers and
Home Brews are mixing in the
Cream City, the Indians and Hens
will be battling in five conflicts at
Washington Park, starting Thurs
day.
The BetzeliteS are in choice spot
to win the pennant and owner jim
Perry'S beginners luck" may put
the locals across by a whisker. How
ever with only a one-game diff
ference between the two top clubs
anything can happen before the
curtain falls. For instance, Min
neapoliS, by winning today, can tie
for the lead again, if the Indians
lose, in which event it will be any
body's race the last five days.
Milwaukee is almost mathemat-
ically out Of the running, being
five and One-haIf games behind
with only six games to play. st.
Paul has been eliminated.
Catcher McMullen of the Millers
had two costly passed balls Mon
day. 1t was only few hours pre-
vious that he was informed the
Cincy Reds had bought him.
Al Shealy of the Saints shut out
the Brewers Monday, 10 to 0, only
one Brewer reaching third base. He
kept seven hits widely scattered.
MOrehart Of the Apostle stole two
bases and passed Fred Hahey for
the league lead in theftS, Al to 40.
Win Ballou, Milwaukee pitcher,
hurled one ball and was charged
with the defeat. Morehart socked
the first pitch and the drive struck
Ballou and injured him painfully
He had to be carried from the field.
Merchant got hit on the drive
and scored later.
Columbus walloped Louisville and
made it four victories in row. APP
parently the, Colonies are deter
mined" to finish in the cellar.
The date for the start of the
little world series" may be moved
up day if indianapolis wins the
A. A. pennant, otherwise it proba-
bly, will be left to open Sept. 26,
as set a few days ago. President
O'Toole of the I. L. wants to get
under way Sept. IS, if
to the A. A. entry. The
series will start in the international
League city and four games will
