saw Red Killefer'S Indians obtain al
Ownie Bush's league-leading Miller
taking two games from st. Paul ena
fer second place. Scores here yeste
2 to l, indianapolis. The wind-up til
OF the 6 o'clock Sunday law.
There was to be a third battle
leaders today at 3 p. m, and tome
carded tomorrow was advanced to 81
ment. More than six thousand fans
and it was the biggest Sunday Grove
Night ball under the lights will
begin at the Tribe park Wednesday
at 6:15 in the series opener with the
Milwaukee Brewers. Warm weather
and poor week day attendance led
the Indian club officials to turn on
the juice" far in advance of their
night game plans. Originally the
might opener" was set for May 90,
on the eve of the 500-mile race.
Bolen Hits Stride
Stewart Bolen held the Mauling
Millers to four hits in the seven
inning contest yesterday and struck
out five. His great pitching and a
timely hit were the main factors in
paving the way for the Indians to
beat Rosy Ryan on five safeties. The
MillerS scored first in the second
fracaS when Harris drew a walk in
the fourth, advanced on Alb Wright's
sacrifice and tailed on Pinkie Har-
graves single after the mighty Joe
HaUser was called out on strikes.
A tWo-run rally in the sixth
stanza put the home team across.
Bolen started it with a single to
center. Dudley Lee walloped a
triple to l%eft-center and Bolen
chugged around the paths to tie the
game. Johnny Cooney then punched
a long fly to right field, and Lee
scampered home after the catch with
what proved to be the victory
marker.
The initial conflict was a !ough
one for the Indians to lose. They
held the lead three times, only to
be topped by the Minneapolis slug
gers who took keen delight in polk
ing out timely hits against the hurl-
ing Of the veteran John Miljus. Joe
Hauser slammed the sphere over the
right-centerfeld wall in the second
frame and Alb Wright clouted the
horsehide over the left-f1eld barrier
in the fifth session with one mate
aboard.
The Indians wasted a bunch of
blows in the game they lost. Four
teen hits were credited to the Tribes
men to nine for the visitors, and six
Of the HooSiers' wallopS were for
extra bases. Harry Rosenberg
starred at bat for the locals, with
four hits in five times up, and
Cooney vas second high with two
singles and a triple. Rosenberg
collected two singles, a double and
triple.
After Alb Wright sent a homer
soaring over the fence in the fifth,
Miljus was relieved by Al Butz-
berger, young southpaw. Young
Butzie got by until the seventh when
he lost control and the Millers
thumped him for two runs. This
brought in Clifton (Red) Wright,
highlander, former Indiana uni
versity star.
Young Wright Shines
Wright gave the fans a thrill. He
stopped the visitors cold and they
failed to get the ball out of the in
field the remainder of the game. He
entered the battle with two runners
on base, and one down, hit Har-
grave with a pitched ball, and then
forced Camel to pop to Bedore, and
Norris was tossed out. Red retired
the Minneapolis powerhouse gang in
one, two, three order, in the eighth
and ninth.
Young Wright doubtless earned a
promotion by his display of cool
chucking yesterday and the guess is
that Manager Killefer will advance
him to the first string of mound per-
formers.
The Indians knocked Jess Petty
of the rubber in the fourth round in
yesterdays first game and then the
Millers pounded Miljus off the scene
in the fifth. Tauscher relieved Pet
ty and took charge in a big way.
Sherlock hit him for a double in
the fourth and Lee also doubled, but
after that TauScher frightened in the
pinches and kept the Indians away
from the plate. He was extremely
effective when runners were in posi-
ton to score.
Bush Demands Peek
Manager Bush of the Millers was
ready to start a storm when the Sec
ond game yesterday was halted by
the clock. He thought there vas
time left for one more inning, and
demanded TO see Umpire Johnston's
watch The umpire's answer was
that the game was yer and that his
action was controlled by law. Any
way, Ownie wanted a peek at the
official time piece, and perhaps he
will take up the argument again to-
day in the series finale.
Paid attendance yesterday was
6,184. The home run made by Joe
Hauser was his fourteenth Of the
new campaign, and Alb Wright of the
Millers fetched Els homer total up
