MAKE IT TWO IN ROW
Three More Tits in Series
With KaWS.
BY EDDIE ASH.

No matter what happens. the IN
dians are going to raise their 1928
pennant Saturday, but if the K. G.
Blues kindly would let up once and
lose a game, it wouldn't be half bad.
The Cowboys took another Thurs
day, to 2, making it two in row
in the series. The third encoun-
ter was to be staged this afternoon
and Carl Boone was slated for Tribe
mound duty He's the lad who
knocked off the Saints last Satur-
day. The Blues are here through
Sunday.
Today was ladies day and kids
day" and it was good guess there
would be a swarm of 'em out for a
big effort to help pull the home
FASTENERS in with one victory over
the Blues in order to whet the appe-
tites Of the fans for the flag cere-
monies Saturday.
Gerken Pickles Homer
1t was duel of southpaw f1ipperS
Thursday, with Max Thomas chuck
ing against Bud Teachout, the for
mer allowing nine hits and the lat
ter ten. The visitors scored a run
in each of the first three stanzas,
which gave them just enough edge
to win with, but Gerken widened
the margin by picking home run
in the sixth with the bases empty.
Indianapolis got a run in the
fourth when Barnhart clouted a
homer and in the ninth the locals
rallied for one more tally on Con-
nolly's single, Species double and
Stroner's sacrifice fly that Gerken
got under out near the flag pole.
