Tribe Faces Task

series checked off and the Indians
getting no better than a split, it is
apparent the home FASTENERS will
have to do some tall stepping if
they are going to get back into the
pennant scramble.

Paul Monday and Milwaukee

Colonies, one today and one
Wednesday, after which the Bethel
ties will visit Columbus.

by Miller in left center proved dis

because of illness and Worth did
not perform there at the start be-
cause he bats left handed and Moss,
a Southpaw, was pitching for the
visitors.

first Labor day tilt, 6 to 1, behind
great pitching by Bill Burwell, who
was a master when runners were
on base.

fought it out in the Labor day
nightcap and the former won, 6 to
4. Three line drives were caught on
the Indians in this tilt and the
breaks were all in Louisville's
favor

in the first fracas Monday and held
