ST. PAUL, July 21.-The "one-
run margin" jinX pursued Red Kill
lefer's Indians to st. Paul and they
dropped the series opener at LeXing-
ton park yesterday, the Apostles
winning, 4 to g. 1t was the fourth
straight defeat for the Tribesmen,
three previous beatings at Mime
apoliS all being by the difference
of a single marker.
The HooSiers tried hard enough.
but they were checked at almost
every turn and the FASTENERS Of Bob
Coleman executed four double plays.
A three-run ally in the opening
round was a big help to the Saints.
although they were compelled to
tally one more marker to win.
Vance Page opened on the Tribe
mound and Lefty ClaSet started for
the locals Claset was injured early
in the fracas and was relieved by
Judd, who in turn was relieved by
Phelps
The second of the series was
carded for this afternoon and on
the Sabbath double-header will be
played to end the series. Monday
will be an off day for the Redskins
as they leave the west for the east,
playing in Toledo on Tuesday
After two hits and a walk in the
eighth by Indianapolis, Babe Phelps
replaced Judd. At the time one In
dian run was scored, Lee was on
third and Cotelle on first and one
out. Rosenberg then hit into a dou-
BILE play Bluege to Warner to Todt.
1t was st. Paul's third double play.
In the ninth, Washington, Siga~
fOOs and BedOre were retired in or
der.
COtelle was robbed out of a hit
in the first as he sent the ball past
Todt only to have Warner go far
to his right, get it, and toss it to
pitcher ClaSet who was covering
| first for the putout.
Successive singles to center by
Rosenthal and Warner, a double to
left center by Fenner and single
to right by Todt scored three runs
for st. Paul in the first.
j. Sherlock started the third in
ming off in great style by hitting a
home run on the top of the COLI
scum beyond the short left field
fence.
In the fourth an error by Claset
put the Indians back in the game.
COtelle was on first and Washing
| ton hit to Claset. The st. Paul
| pitcher threw over Todts head and
CotelIe scored and Washington went
to third. Claset's hand was injured
on the play and he was removed
from the game. Ralph Judd, right
handed pitcher took over the mound
duties. 1t was Judds first appear
ance since July IA as he was nurs-
ing a sore arm.
In the fifth inning Bluege COM
pleted a double play unassisted.
Riddle was on second and when
Dudley Lee lined to the st. Paul
shortStOp he stepped on second to
complete the play.
ROsenthal made a leaping one
handed catch of WaShingtons liner
in the sixth. The ball was slightly
misjudged by the st. Paul outfielder
as he came in so a sensational catch
was needed to make the putout.
Some fast fielding by Fred Roster
held hit by Sigafoos in the sew
enth to single. 1t was along the
left field foul line, a hit that gen.
orally goes for a double at Lexing~
ton park.
Minneapolis pennant-ward charge
was halted, temporarily, at least,
when Louisville defeated the Mill
ers, 5 to l yesterday. Milwaukee
shut out Columbus, to 0 and To-
ledo defeated Kansas City, II to 7,
in other games. Halter held the
Millers to seven hits, while the
| COlOnelS got eIeVen OH PeUUy. ROSen,
Thompson and Brack got seven Of
the Colonies total Of hits.
Lee Slime gave Columbus only
three hits in banking them. Only
two Red Birds got to second, and
not one reached third. A three-run
rally in the sixth put the Brewers
over.
Kansas City and Toledo COM
mitted five errors, and the Blues
four hurlers were not enough to
stop the Mud Hens attack. Kansas
City got only seven hits off Lawson
and Bowler to fifteen for Toledo.
