Four to go for the Indians.
Three tn 90 for the MillerS,

Four to go for the Indians.
Three to go for the Millers.
And the Hoosier ahead by mere
breeze.
Both teams won Thursday, the
Tribesmen knocking over the Hens
here, 5 to l, and the Millers tax
ing" the Brewers again, 6 to 3.
The second tilt of the Indian-Hen
closing series was carded this after
noon with a free gate for women
and the frantic fans were expected
to turn out and yelp for another
hometown win. The Tribe pastim-
ers can not afford to lose even one
conflict.
Can Not Shake MilIers
Manager Betzers boys have won
fifteen of their last eighteen starts,
but are leading the pennant fight
by only one-half game owing to
the mad pace being maintained by
Mike Kelly's Minneapolis naulers.
With all other teams eliminated
the two-club race is being watched
throughout the baseball world, and
the same interest, of course, is be-
ing shown in the the big league
stretch battles and the tight fit
affair in the International loop.
Get to Walker
Steve Swetonic kept eight Toledo
hits scattered Thursday while his
mates attacked Lefty Walker of the
visitors with enough concentrated
power to put over decisive victory.
The Tribe got away to a two-run
lead in the first stanza and i'm
proved on it in the fourth and fifth
rounds.
The Hens threatened al the out
set Thursday, but a dazzling run
ming catch by Matthews that he
turned into a double play, pre-
vented the enemy scoring in the first
inning.
1t wasn't until the seventh that
the Hens were able to chalk up a
tally. Koehler doubled, moved to
third on an out and scored when
Carter, batting for Walker, drilled
one through WarStler.
Jordan, third sacker, got two of
the eight hits off Swetonic and con-
tributed one of the fielding features
with a leaping stop back of third
on Blenkiron in the fifth. The
error charged against hip" was on
near hit by Blenkiron in the first,
the hop being shorter than he fig
ured.
In the third stanza Holke singled
and scored when Fullis dropped
Swetonic's twisting fly after a run.
The sphere bounced out of Fullis'
glove when he was going at top
speed.
In the fifth the HOLSTERS got their
last runs on three singles and an
out.
Mcnamara tOiIed on the Hen
mound the last two innings, and
held off the Tribesmen.
Rawlings turned in a good day
at second but failed to get one safe
off Swetonic.
The Tribe pitcher worked care
fully and put as much as he could
muster on every ball whenever the
Hens had men on the paths.
KOenecke's single in the seventh
was 'bleeder" that fell just out
of reach of Fullis, Moore and Rawl-
ings.
Walker and Swetonic each famed
four. One of the three passes is
sued by Walker developed into a
run.
Matthews played a dandy game
in center for the Indians, and had
six putoutS and one assist.
Garland Buckeye struck for Nc
Namara in the ninth and famed
after crashing a sizzling foul.
Paid attendance was 2,O54.
Haney's triple in the first round
went to the right-field corner. It
sent home the first run of the game.
Indians and Hens have met TWEEN
ty times this season. with the Hoo
siers in possession of fifteen of the
tits.
