Chief Killfer said owner Norman
A. Perry advised him to search the
country for a new finger to fill in
for Turner, but it is a difficult mat
ter at this stage Of the season to
land hurlers of Class AA experience
and quality. 1t was not known un-
til this morning that Turner's
thumb was broken. An X-ray re-
vesled the fracture.
Big Crowd Sees Battle
More than 1000 fans saw the
Hoosiers annex the farewell tilt The
victory enabled the Tribe to tie
Columbus for second place in the
soaring American Association race.
The leading Minneapolis Millers lost
to Toledo yesterday and the Indians
pulled within one game of first
place. The columbus Red Birds
were idle.
Turner retired from the game
after his fight with Rensa and the
Brewer catcher was taken out Of
the contest a short time later to
permit him to cool off.
The high spot of the Tribe victory
was a home run by Vernon George
Washington i'm the fifth stanZa.
With two down and Cotelle perched
on first base, Washington drove the
horsehide on line to the flag pole
in the center field corner and made
the circuit of the sacks as the rec
ord crowd stood up and shouted in
wild acclaim. Washington also got
two other hits during the nights
melee and he was king hitter of
the evening.
Alert Base Running
The Indians were first to score
last night when one marker was
chalked up in the second frame OH
a walk to Vincent Sherlock, a sin
gle by Sprinz and high bounder by
Jack Using, who relieved Turner on
the Tribe rubber. Sherlock I'M
corked a burst of speed and scored
all the way from second while the
Brewers were erasing Using at first.
Milwaukee rallied in the fifth and
registered three runs on triple by
pitcher Tony Polli and singles by
Marshall, Kloza and Guile. Wash
ington then knotted the score by
blasting an inside-the-park home
run. 1t was the second time this
season that George circled the bases
on a drive within the walls.
Two Runs in Eighth
In the eighth the Indians got to-
gether and smashed their way to a
couple of markers and victory. Co.
telle led off with a single and
reached third on Washingtons
safety. Jack Sherlock's inf1eld fly
was turned into a double killing
after Wingard missed the sphere,
but Cotelle crossed the plate with a
run. j. Sherlock and Washington
were nipped in the two-ply play, but
Bedore advanced and tailed on
single by Vincent Sherlock.
Lefty Bob Logan went to Tising's
rescue in the sixth and stood the
Brewers on their heads" He struck
out four visitors in four innings
and held them hitleSS. He was
credited with the victory. The Tribe
southpaw was in brilliant form.
The Indians will play a night
game in Louisville tonight and to-
morrow afternoon the Colonies will
be met in a double-header at Park
way field. The series in Derbytown
will end with a night tilt Thurs
day, after which the HooSierS will
head for the western half Of the
league.
Brewers Checked in First
Paid attendance here last night
was 4,975. 1t was ladies night"
and 6,O78 women passed through
the turnStitles. The total count
was 1903. Soldier guests from Fl.
Benjamin Harrison and children
boosted the throng to about 10000.
The victory last night made it
three out of four for the Indians
over the Brewers. 1t was a thriller
from the outset. In the first inning
the visitors filled the bases on two
singles and a walk, with none down,
but failed to score. Marshall was
caught at the plate on Vineyards
infield tap, Gullic fouled to Bedore
and Storti lined to j. Sherlock. 1t
was whistling shot by Storti.
The Indians got two runners on
in their half of the first, but Be-
dore's line drive was shared by
Storti.
DOCKING came back to Indian
ID apoliS in the second session.
