Two Homers Force Exit of Hall
Sunday; Double Bill on Today
Indians and Colonies Wind Up Series With Two Tits;
Wilkinson Wins for Louisville, 5 to g.

Home runs propelled by Ray
Thompson knocked the Indians
kicking Sunday and the Colonies
evened the series by winning the
Sabbath encounter for Roy Wilkin-
son, 5 to 8. Roy held the Tribe
FASTENERS to seven hits and was in
no danger after the sixth inning,
when the HoosierS rallied for two
runs on two singles and a double.
The other Indian marker was I'M
earned, wild throw by Funk per-
hitting a tally in the third stanza.
The Hoosiers started their semi
pro rookie, Prentice Hall, and the
Colonies took advantage of his youth
and hazed him by causing him to
balk in a run in the third. With
Smith on third and Simons on first,
the latter started strolling toward
second and at the same time Smith
made a dash off third-and Hall
went to pieces and tried to throw
to two spots at once. And the UNI
pires called a balk.
1t was Thompson, though, who
really wrecked the rookie. With
Lotus on ahead in the second, Ray
walloped the sphere into the empty
field seats in right center and in
the fourth he clouted his second
homer over the left field fence. And
Byron Specie relieved Hall. The
submarine veteran was in form and
held the Colonies runless the re-
mainder of the way, allowing only
four hits in six innings.
Byron certainly hurled a grand
article and well deserved the ap-
plause of the crowd of about two
thousand.
A double header today as the Labor day
feature will close the series. First game
at O'Clock.

Sunday game and each side executed two
