MINNEAPOLIS, May 17.-As a
mark of appreciation over the fact

from the diamond, the Indians of
Bruno Bethel stepped out in the
series wind-up with the Millers

gave the Tribe the series, two games
to one. despite the reputation the
NIillers have built up for being
mighty clOuters.
Ruel CTexas) Love, the genial
right-hander, held the locals to six
hits while the Betzelites collected
thirteen, including a home run by
Barnhart and doubles by Matthews
and Connolly. 1t was a case OF too
much Love for the Millers, and until
the sixth inning they were held TO
one safety. He walked only one
man and struck out three, and the
lone Miller run was the result OF
"break" for Shirley when he got
a homer in the seventh when Mat
thews missed shoe string catch
and the ball escaped him and rolled
to the fence.
The Indians big round was the
sixth, when ten batters went to the
plate and five runs scored before
the side was retired and Brillheart
had been knocked out of the box.
