1t will take the Oldest inhabitant
to recall a double-header victory of
the type scored by the Indians at
Perry stadium yesterday. The Louis
vile Colonies stacked up a lead OF
8 to in the first tilt before the
Tribesmen got started and when
the battle drew to a close the Red
skins were out in front, II to 10.
1t was another come-from- behind
thriller in the second game, cut to
seven innings by the 6 o'clock law
The Indians went into the seventh
and last inning trailing, to 0, and
staged a wild rally that netted four
runs and the game, to 3. The
Colonies annexed the series opener
Saturday night, to /, with the
aid of Tribe miScueS in the field.
Close Fight Under Way
The struggle for the lead in the
eastern division of the A. A. con-
tinues to be wild affair. Columbus
was out in front this morning by
the margin of one game and half
over the Indians, and with Louis
vile trailing the HOLSTERS by two
games.
The Indians and Colonies will
clash in single game this after
noon at p. m. and in a second
single game under the lights tonight
at BIS. The Toledo Hens will in
wade Perry stadium tomorrow to
open a six-game series beginning
with a single fracas tomorrow night
at 8:15. The Columbus Birds will
follow the Hens here for five games
and then the Indians will go to
Louisville for three games to end
the season.
Lefty and Vernon May Go
Billy Evans, general manager of
the Cleveland Americans, was here
today to confer with Manager Red
Killefer on players. Evans is dick
ering for the services of pitcher
Lefty Bob Logan and outf1elder
Vernon George Washington. 1t is
believed one or both Tribe stars will
be sold to Cleveland for players and
a sum of cash.
Louisville tailed two runs in the
ninth stanza of the first game yes
terday and had runners on third
and first when the final out was
made. Phil Weinert, third pitcher
employed by the Tribe, received
credit for the victory. The defeat
was charged to Jack Using, second
hurler used by the Colonels Vein
ert and Using changed clubs along
about midSeason.
Is Hits for Losers
BurWell was the Indians starting
finger and he was succeeded by
Butzberger, and Weinert followed
Butzberger to the mound. Bass
opened for Louisville and was sue
ceeded by Using. Mclean and Nc
Kahn also saw service on the Colonel
mound. Hits were eighteen for the
visitors and thirteen for the home
FASTENERS.
Page pitched for the Redskins in
the second conflict and Jim Peter
son toiled for Louisville. The
Colonies got to Page for two runs in
the second innings and one in the
third. Peterson held the Indians to
three hits in six innings and then
blew up in the seventh. Sprinz
was first up in the seventh and flied
to Simons. j. Sherlock singled and
Lee walked.
Sigafoos batted for Page and flied
out to Brack for the second out.
Cotelle singled, scoring j. Sherlock,
and Lee reached third. V. Sherlock
beat out an infield hit and Lee
scored and Cotelle stopped at Sec
ond. Rosenberg tied the score at
3-all when his single tailed Co.
telle and v. Sherlock pulled up at
third. Washington was given an in
territorial pass, filling the bases.
V. Sherlock Speeds for Home
With two strikes and no balls on
Bedore, V. Sherlock dashed for the
plate on the next pitch as Peterson
took long windup. Sherlock dived
under Bedore as Fred swung the bat
and connected with a looping single
to short left. The pitch looked good
to Bedore and he swung to avoid a
strikeout, although Sherlock was I'M
der him and touching the plate at
the time IT WAS the winning rim
The o'clock closing law and dark
ness ended action at this point and
sent 1000 fans home in a cheerful
frame of mind.
The higher a club finishes in the
A. A. race the more money the play
ers receive, and this arrangement
has led to the exhibition of hard
fighting pastiming in the closing
days of the season.
