Three Defeats in Row at
Hands of MauIing Miller
Aggregation.
WILD TILT MONDAY
Visitors Score Six Runs in
Ninth Inning.
BY EDDIE ASH

D4 LDOAG A6n
From the standpoint of the In
dams, Mondays fracas with the
Mauling Millers was nothing to sup
ply clippings for the old scrap book.
Leading 10 to in the fourth inning,
the Tribesmen cracked and when
/ nine rounds had been completed
Minneapolis was on top IL to TO-
1t was a pain to see the home boys
drop that one.
The defeat moved the Millers one
more game nearer the league lead
erS and the A. A. standing this
morning showed the Betzelftes only
two games ahead. And the boys
leave on long trip in enemy ter
ritory after Wednesday.
Six Runs in Ninth
The Monday fans saw some tall
slugging, the Millers getting eight
cen hits and the Indians sixteen.
The visitors staged one of those I'M
believable rallies in the ninth that
grew and grew and ended only after
eight hits and six runs had been
registered.
Swetonic was knocked out, Specie
was knocked out, Yde was knocked
out and it took Burwell to stop the
Miller parade, but Bill was called
on too late. The contest had gone
to the bowwows.
Swetonic was left in the box too
long, but apparently it was his fault
for Manager Bethel indicated he de-
sired to remove him when the Mil
lers first launched their winning
rally.
Picked Out Good Ones
The visiting swatters picked out
balls to hit in a manner that caused
many onlookers to believe Charlie
Hall, Miller coach, was calling the
turn" on Swetonic's delivery.
Three singles and a double were
stung off Swetonic in the final in
ming before Specie relieved. He re-
tired one man and then allowed
two singles. Yde relieved and was
batted for single and double and
he hit Voter That was all for Yde
and Burwell took up the Tribe
mound toll and forced Hays to hit
into double play.
1t was a sweet one for the Mil
lerS to win, but a terrible one for
the Indians to lose. Comorosky had
trouble judging drives in right field
and from the press coop he ap-
peared responsible for Smiths dou-
BILE in the eighth and Brillheart's
double in the ninth.
rop Fly Falls Safe
And in the first inning Comoros-
ky, Miller and Matthews became
confused on Harris pop fly and it
fell safe for two bases.
Seven pitchers saw service in the
hectic conflict. three Miller twirlers
working and four Tribe ball pro-
pellers performing.
There is no question that over
confidence had much to do with the
Indians downfall. They seemed to
think their work was done after a
big lead had been piled up. The
boys evidently forgot Minneapolis is
leading the league in hitting.
Two more battles with the swat
ting Millers. Leverett was due to
pitch for the Indians today.
Big league scouts here to watch swetonic
home Offices Monday night. Both young
twirlers got knocked out. Liska being the
first to 90.
Herman Layne was a busy lad with four
singles and walk in five trips to the
plate.
Wild Matthews demonstrated you never
can tell in baseball. He drove out a
field near the scOreboard. He was first
to face Liska.
Warstler's triple in the third was
swat over Harris head in center
Spencer banged out three singles.
There were some dandy fielding plays
made despite the fact twenty two runs
scored. Matthews and Warstler contributed
feature catches and stops. Matty made a

In the seventh
Collegian Hays .poled two doubles and
single OF SWetonic. 4
1t was a tough day for the box score
keepers. They got dizzy recording the
Hits Off"
Millers and Indians have met
seventeen times this season and the
Flour City crew has taken nine of
the struggles.
TY1I !, y fVAV
the Millers instead of taking it on
the chin each time, the Betzelites
would have been out in front by
eight games today.
