miscue in the series finale under the
The Hoosiers advanced to second
place, despite their defeat, owing to
the fact that Kansas City turned
on the Columbus Red Birds and
took both ends of the double-header
Friday afternoon in the Buckeye
capital. 1t would have been great
spot for the Indians to have won,
but Lester Big Munns blocked
their efforts and kept eight hits
scattered, the Apostles grabbing the
laurels by whisker, 2 to /.
Thirteen Left on Base
Munns was in command of the
situation in the pinches and thir-
teen Tribe runners were left strand
ed on the paths. Time and time
again the stalwart ST. Paul young
Highlander appeared on the verge
of defeat, but the one big timely
sock was missing from the Hoo
sier bat bag.
1t was another tough loss for Bill
Thomas, young Tribe Highlander,
who gave up only four hits in eight
innings. Fact of the matter, 1t is
becoming a habit with the Indians
to go into a batting tailspin when
Thomas is doing the chucking. He
wins the medal, undisputed, for be-
ing the hard luck champion.
Good Stop, Bad Throw
The first Apostle marker was a
gift. Roster. first up in the fracas,
reached base on a wide throw by
Goldman after the Tribe short
stopper made a great one-handed
stop. Jeffries flied to Huff and
line drive single to right center that
Taitt nearly caught placed Roster
on third and long fly by Fenner
put Roster over the plate. Sigafoos
tossed out Todt to end the inning.
What proved to be the victory run

gled, reached third on Jeffries' dou-
BILE and scored on an inf1eld out by
burst. Wingard iuggled the burst
grounder whereas swifter fielding
might have headed off Roster at
the plate. Goldman threw out Fen
ner to retire the side.
Huff Gets Around
The Indians failed to score until
the seventh and an error paved the
way, Beck making a high throw on
Huff. Wingard slashed a hit off
the Shins of Jeffries and Taitt
forced Wingard, Hut going to third,
wrence he scoredf on a long fly by
Sigafoos. The fire went out as
Rosenberg skied to burst.
The Indians "blowed" at the out
set. Goldman walked to start the
game and advanced on Kroner's
single. Hut attempted to sacrifice
and popped an easy one to Munns
Wingard flied out and Taitt famed.
In the third another chance was
tossed away. Goldman singled and
Kroner drew a pass with none
. u
bounced out to MunnS and Taitt
was erased, Jeffries to Todt.
Scoring Hits Missing
Sigafoos opened the fourth stanza
with a walk, Rosenberg famed. Rid
die skied out, Thomas singled and
Goldman fouled to Fenner. Rosen-
berg launched the sixth with a
single, Riddle famed, Thomas sac
rificed Goldman walked and Kroner
grounded.
There was a laugh in the Tribe
eighth. After one out Angley batted
for Thomas and singled. Chapman.

in to run for Tom. One wag re-
marked that evidently the Three-I
League was two-out circuit Any

Easy Double Play
If the left field gate had been
opened Chapman doubtless would
have sprinted right on through it
and out into the night up Riverside
park way. JeffrieS chuckled and
tossed the sphere to Todt for q dou-
BILE play.
Perhaps the luck of the Indians
will improve against the Millers.
Anyway it's a brand new series and
everything is set for three days of
frenzied entertainment. The Indians
won three out of four from the
Saints, a splendid achievement.
Clean sweeps on the diamond are
not easily accomplished.
Chief Mccain OF the home nine
is on clutches, but is able to sit in
the dugout with his left leg propped
on cushion. The twisted ankle
received Thursday night will keep
him out of action indefinitely.
