Paul Saints, one of the strongest of
the western A. A. clubs, unpacked
their bats at Washington Park to-
day for a four-day stand with the
Indians and owing to the stirring
excitement that Allen usually Gre
ates it is expected that weekday
fans will be supplied with many
thrills.
st. Paul felt insulted when A. A.
dopesters named Milwaukee as the
1928 pennant favorite before the
season opened and the Apostles
have been busy striving to prove
their rights to that honor. This is
the club that knocked off the In
dams in st. Paul four in a row
when the Betzelites were crippled
and Tribe rooters can take it for
granted the home FASTENERS will
battle hard to get even.
Two Defeats Sunday
The Indians got the worst of it
over the weekend with the Mime
apolis Millers, losing two and win
ming one. The Betzelites won Satur-
day, in a slugging match, 10 to .,
but fell by the wayside Sunday and
dropped a double header, 4 to 3, and
3 to 0. Weak defense cost both
games, the Tribe outfield being
responsible for the first Sunday de-
feat and the catching being re-
sponsible for the nightcap downfall.
Both Boone and Yde pitched good
ball.
In the opening Sabbath tilt the
BetzelS were leading, to 2, when
the ninth arrived. Wheat first up,
fouled to IIaney. Smith sent a line
drive to center and it went for
a home run when Comorosky mis-
judged the hop. ellis Singled and
Warstler made a great play to re-
tire Warwick. Orsatti was given an
intentional pass. Duncan batted Tor
Hubbell and Anderson dropped his
liner in right, ellis scoring.
The Indians had men on third
and second in their half with two
out, but Haney was called out on
strikes by Umpire Rue on a ball that
looked low.
Ten Hits; No Runs
The Millers won the second fray
in the sixth stanza after two out, 8
stolen base starting the fireworks.
The Indians got ten hits in the
nightcap, but Liska held them run
less.
Late Saturday the Indians sent
Pitcher Bill Burwell to the Pitts
burgh Pirates in exchange for Out
fielder Adam Comorosky and
PitcherN Erwin Brame and the new
players were on hand here Sunday
Generously played in both contests
He is here on option while Brame
becomes the property of the Indians
Brame is a right-handed pitcher
and Generously a right-handed hit
ter and thrower.
A "big DEAF has been transacted
in the American Association. The
Senators, in the cellar, traded
Catcher Bird to Louisville for
Catcher Shinault. Louisville is sew
enth and in danger of ousting Co.
lumbus from last place.

caught the twelfth and thirteenth innings,

Brewers, like tina indians, took two on the
chin and COlumt us surprised everybody
with dOuble-heaCer victory.
In the first tilt at Washington
Park Sunday Layne beat out a bunt
in the third inning and both An
derson ana Haney scored on 1t. Two
were out at the time and the Mil
lers were caught mapping.
The Indians got six hits in the sabbath
opener and WarstIer delivered three of the
number.

Matthews poled four hits in row. The
Tribe had ten men left stranded in the
seven rounds.
One alibi is as good as another,
so it might be said the Millers are
better mudders than the Indians.
With Walter Holke crippled, Reb Rus
sell played first base Sunday and turned
in good job. He tried to win the sec
ond game with a home run IN the last
inning when the bases were filed, but
didn't Slice enough and Harris caught the
sphere in deep center near the fence.

After years of endeavor, Bib Burwell
gained his point and receives another
trial in the majors. His first try was
with the st. Louis Browns. He goes to
join Ownie Bush, his former manager, and
Carmen Hill, a former pitching buddie.
