BY EDDIE ASH


With all A. A. clubs engaged in
two games today the flag race may
undergo some changes by night fall
and Tribe fans were keyed up with
the hope the Betzelites would nab
two from the pesky Colonies.
The FASTENERS from mint julep
land are proving very tough for the
home talent. On Saturday the In
dians barely nosed in with victory,
4 to 3, and on Sunday the Hoosier
athletes were sent to the club house
in tears, and in the meantime Min
neapolis increased its lead.
Joe Deberry pitched ace high ball
for Louisville and eased through to
to win. He allowed only three
hits in eight jnnings and 1t wasn't
until the nintl4 after two were out
that the Betzels scored. A walk to
Matthews, a double by Connolly
and Haney's single to short right
accounted for the two Tribe mark
erS.
Five Tribe Hits
Only twenty-five men faced De-
berry in eight stanzas-that's how
well the former Florida lot sales
man propelled the sphere. He held
the Indians to five hits. The crowd
of $500 stayed until the finish and
pulled for a rally that finally came
in the last inning, and then fell
far short.
Danny Boone hurled for the
Tribe and poor control helped to-
ward his downfall. He permitted
only seven hits, but five were dou-
bles and two of three bases on balls
developed into runs, and hit bats
man also made the circuit.
Dudley Branom, the rangy Colonel
f1rst-sacker, twice socked Boone for
two bases. He certainly is poison to
the Indians, for on Saturday he
poled two singles and a homer of
Leverett.
Speed Around Keystone
Sticking and Olivares gave De-
berry splendid support, the former
accepting ten chances and the lat
ter seven. The keystone pair COB
bled up everything in sight. Sick
ing is the class of the league at Sec
ond and he has made a fielding
whiz of Olivares.
The defeat was a blow, but 1t
couldn't be helped. In fact Joe
Deberry probably would have
bumped of anybody Sunday-that's
how well he pitched.
Outfielder Clyde Barnhart, OBJ
tanned from the Pirates on option,
reported to the Indians Saturday,
but was unable to play over the
weekend, because of illness. He
has some sort Of a rash. Tribe
rooters hope it's a base hit rash.
shortstop olivares made . dandy play
on Worth IN the eighth Sunday and
taking the ball in deep short. It would
have been hit in the Sally League.
Spencer returned to the Tribe lineup
Sunday after being out since he was in
jured in Minneapolis.
Scout Joe Engle of washington was a
visitor Sunday. He travels much.
Cuban olivares drew three walks of
Boone Sunday and two of the passes de-
veloped into runs.
Nachand twice looked at third
strike. Thompson hit two sacrifice
fly balls.
OIvares' theft Of second In the second
CaTerty. Tribe infeiders howied.. but got
nowhere.
Boone speared Oltyares' line drive with
one hand in the fifth
Worth made a fine catch on Deberry in
the fifth when. he dashed in back of short
and got the sphere at his shoe tops.
Two Indians we're retired in the
ninth when Matthews walked and
reached third on Connolly's double
that took bad hop away from
Rutherford. Haney's pop fly single
scored the runners and Russell
ended the pastiming with a fly to
LOTUS.
Russell made . poor throw TO The pIate
after taking ThOmpson's short fly In the
