KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 13.-
The Indians OF Johnny Cor1iden
bumped into Joe Maley at the peak
of his form here Monday and The
shortage of base hits in the pinches
cost the Hoosiers the ball game,
the league champions winning, 4
to 2. George Payne on the Tribe
mound finally turned in a good
brand of pitching. but was unfor-
tunate in that his mates couldn't
solve Maley when hits meant runs.
Howard Freigau, former Blue,
collected three of the Indians
eight hits, and the old reliable
Clyde Barnhart poled two. The
veteran Barney evidently is striv-
ing to get back in the big show
for he looks the part of slender
fly chaser compared with last sea-
son, and has won the respect of
all the pitchers in the league.
No runs were scored until the
third inning when the Blues rallied
and got to Payne for two markers.
They scored again in the sixth and
eighth, and the Tribesmen failed
to reach the plate until the ninth
when belated splurge produced
two TALES. Koenecke, Hoffman
and Monahan, who were figured to
hit, failed to get one safe during
the afternoon.
Freigau had a bad day in the
field at third base and the two err
rors charged against the Indians
were checked against his name.

NEW YORK, May 13.-Major
league baseball teams today changed
opponents for the final series of the
first intersectional competition OF
the season.

will return to their home districts
for sectional competition which will
last until June 3.
Eastern clubs hold slight ad-
vantage in the interSectional games

victories in the American League
and seventeen in the National. The
west has scored twenty wins in the
National League and seventeen in
the American.
Heavy batting continued on all
fronts Monday with total of "a runs
and 142 hits, including fifteen
homers in seven games.
Cubs Tie Record
The Chicago Cubs and New York
Giants led the slugging with thirty
hits, evenly divided. The Cubs tied
a major league record that has
stood since 1894, when they pounded
out four home runs in one inning,
and they and the Giants came with
in one of tieing another record when
they made a total of nine home
runs.
Heathcote and Beck of the Cubs

tional League race.
Philadelphia's Athletics held first
place in the American League with
a IS to 7 win over the Cleveland
Indians. The Indians found Earn
shaw and Quinn for thirteen hits,
but the Macks used their fourteen
safeties off Shaute, Brown, Shoffner
and Jablonowski to better advan-
tage. s.
