Andy has won five consecutive
bouts in indianapolis since he re-
turned two months ago from sue
cessful invasion of eastern mat

When the Saints reached the city
yesterday they had dropped four
teen games in a row, and the big
hearted Indians said they would try
to help the visitors break the A. A.
record for consecutive losses, which
is seventeen.
That was being funny and the
Apostles went to work to demon
Strate that a ball team may be down
but never out. In the twilight tilt
Norman of the Apostles blasted two
balls out of the park and McWil-
liams lifted one over the wall. The
three homerS had much to do with
the Scalping of the Redskins.
Thomas Bears Down
Lefty Logan took the first beat
ing on the Tribe mound and Man
ager Killefer then trotted out an
other ace. Stewart Bolen. The night
game went until the sixth inning
before the scoring started, and the
Saints started it. Fact is, the
Apostles tailed six runs before the
Hoosiers were able to solve Miles
Thomas, the visiting hurler. Two
consolation markers we're chalked
by the locals in the ninth.
The Indians blew" four-run
lead in the twilight tilt, but under
the lights it was just bad night
for the home nine. Sharp fielding
helped Thomas and st. Paul exc
cuted three double plays. The Tribe
managed to make a pair of two-ply
killings, but the club attack was
weak.
In Honor of Washington
The third clash with the Apos-
ties will occur tonight at BIS, and
it will be celebrated as washing
ton night" in honor Of the Indians
right fielder, Vernon George Wash
ington, who is the top hitter of the
circuit. The Saints are scheduled
here through Saturday. The Knot
hole Gang will be club guests to-
night.
A suitable gift will be presented
to Mr.. G.. Wash tonight and the
presentation will be made by Lieu
tenant Governor M. Clifford Town
send at the home plate shortly be-
fore the start of the game.
The Indians looked like world
beaters in the first frame of the
twilight tilt yesterday, scoring four
runs. Lefty Closet was knocked out
of the Apostle box when he lost
control and issued walks and made
two wild pitches. Phelps relieved
and finished out the round and
Gene Trow took up the toll in the
second. Trow put the big halt to
the Hoosier attack until the ninth
when he weakened and was relieved
by Hutchinson.
Big Crowd on Hand.
The Redskins had runners on
third and second when Vincent
Sherlock popped to Todt for the
game ending out. Norman batted in
four runs for ST. Paul and McWil-
liams and Fenner were other thorns
to Lefty Logan's efforts.
Nearly 10000 fans were on hand
to sit in on the night struggle and
their beloved Indians failed them.
Thomas, a right-hander, was too
crafty. For example, in the fourth
inning, with one away, he walked
Washington to fill the sacks and to
pitch to Bedore. Fred bounced to
Thomas and the roller was turned
into double play.
Cotelle led the Tribesters at bat
in the nightcap with two doubles.

CHICAGO, November 9.-An at
Tempt to show that all was we'll with
the Corporation Securities Co. Of Chi
cago when its stock was sold to the
public has been begun by the defense
in the trial of Samuel insult, sr., and
his l6 co-defendants accused of using
the mails in a scheme to defraud.
This line of attack on the Govern
ments efforts to convict the former

begun yesterday when witnesses testi-
fled that the company was built with
good intent" The Government trying
them before Federal Judge James H.
Wilkerson charges that the investing
public lost some 100000, 900 through
the sale Of the Corporation Securities
stock.
At the same time the defense de-
Tended the use of stock dividends as
income by introducing tl.e minutes of
the 1929 convention Of the Investment
Bankers Association of America. The
minutes contained a report approving
of this kind of accounting and the
court permitted the introduction of
the document The method has been
under fire of the Government in the

A number Of character witnesses,

to testify in behalf of some of the
defendants.
