lean Association changed over the
weekend as the Milwaukee Brew
ers won two double headers and In
dianapolis broke even in a pair OF
twin bills at Columbus. The Cream
City FASTENERS Sprinted ahead OF
the Tribesmen and grabbed off Sec
ond place and Columbus moved up
to fourth to drop Louisville to fifth
position.
The league-leading Minneapolis
Millers met with a sad blow which
may cripple the Bushmen down the
stretch and place new outlook on
the pennant fight as the teams
battle for the A. A. laurelS. Joe
Hauser, home run king, was lost to
Minneapolis when he fractured his
kneecap. He will be out of action
the remainder of the season.
HauSer hit SiXty-nine home runs
for the Millers last season and al
ready had collected thirty-three this
year. He had been the big gun of
the Minneapolis attack in nearly
every department of smuggling.
HOOSlerS Flgnt Back
Red Killefer's Indians lost at Co
lumbuS Saturday in the first tilt,
7 to 6, but charged back to capture
the second struggle in ten innings,
to 3. In the Sunday bargain at
traction the Red Birds again an
nexed the afternoon opener, to 4,
and the HooSiers fought back again
to grab the nightcap, 5 to 4, by
coming from behind in the ninth
stanza to score three runs.
The Indians and the Birds were
to wind up their fivegame series
at Columbus this afternoon, and
tonight the Redskins of Red Kill
lefer will depart for indianapolis
to take on the Brewers at Perry
stadium tomorrow night at 8:15
1t will be celebrated as welcome
Home Night" and a big turnout of
enthusiastic Tribe boosters is ex-
pected to be on hand.
Out of Bad Slump
The Indians have been in enemy
territory for nearly a month and
have played in every city in the
loop The Hoosiers emerged from
their western slump and promise to
get going again when they reach
the home grounds.
Milwaukee is bitter rival of the
TribeSmen and heated action is
promised during the visit of the
Brewers that begins tomorrow
night. The Brewers will perform
here tomorrow, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday. All games will be
played under the lights.
Milwaukee is leading the Indians
by only one-half game and Min
neapolis is out in front OF the
Brewers by two and one-half games.
The Millers hold an advantage of
three games over Indianapolis. The
Columbus Birds, always tough to
defeat at home, have climbed back
to the 500 mark and are trailing
the Minneapolis pacemakers by six
games.
Three Home Runs
Vernon George washington, lead
ing hitter of the league, was pron1i-
nent with the bludgeon for the In
dams over the weekend. He blasted
two home runs Saturday and one
Sunday and is clubbing the sphere
at the remarkable pace of 1874. In
dianapolis rooters doubtless will
greet him with wild acclaim when
he first steps to the plate at Perry
stadium tomorrow night.
ID OSENBERG touched off the
IN Tribe rally in the ninth inning
Of the second melee at Columbus
yesterday He singled and pulled up
at third on Vincent Sherlock's
double. Riddle was tossed out by
Myers, Rosenberg scoring, bringing
the score to 4 to 3, Columbus.
Sprinz batted for Logan and hit for
two cushions, scoring V. Sherlock
with the tying run. Vance Page ran
for SprinZ. Dudley Lee drew a walk
and Klinger relieved Teachout on
the Red Bird rubber. Cottelle batted
for j. Sherlock and forced Lee at
second, Page reaching third. With
Sigafoos at bat, Klinger cut loose a
wild pitch and Page crossed the
plate with what proved to be the
victory run.
Sigafoos grounded out to retire
the Indians in the ninth. Hal
Chamberlain, stalwart rookie, went
to the mound for the Redskins and
walked Heath, and Klinger sacri-
feed. Myers also walked, but Riggs
flied to Cotelle and then Chamber
lain frightened and struck out Tom
Angley, who batted for T. Moore,
ending the game. Logan received
credit for the victory.
