The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-09-11

and none out. 1t was a stormy win,
glow worms.
Boss Killefer filed a protest with
Prexy Tom Hickey of the league and
put in long distance call to Chi
cago and got the aged league chief
out of bed in the middle of the
night. 1t is said Mr.. Hickey prom
Used to make a swift trip to Indian
apolis to settle the argument, be
fore somebody gets crippled. He
had not arrived at noon.
Pop bottles and cushions were
showered on the field and it was
midnight before the Tribe execu-
tives left the plant to the watch
man to clean up.
Rain Starts Early
The rain started along about the
opening of the sixth stanza with
Columbus leading, 3 to 2. But. the
umpires let the boys continue to
battle until the Indians put over a
splurge in the ninth and knotted
the game, at 3 and 3.
Washington, the great Slugger,
who had struck out three times, was
first up He reached base on an
error by shortstop Myers and took
third when Bedore blasted a single
to right. Jumbo Elliott, Columbus
southpaw, was lifted and Heusser,
a right-hander, went in. Heusser
walked Rosenberg, filling the sacks.
Riddle got a single on a ball that
fell in short right field, between
second baseman Wilson and out
fielder Cullop, and Lefty Logan,
running for Washington, scored the
tying marker.
The Fun Begins
AT this point Umpire Dunn called
time and the fun was on. The
arbiter held to his decision and
forced wait Of thirty minutes and
then called off the action, leaving
the fans and Indianapolis players
yelling for his hide. 1t was o. k. |
with Columbus and the Red Birds |
wore broad smiles.
Umpire Dunn took the stand that |
he gave the Indians "break" when
he permitted the contest to go
ahead despite the showers early in
the game.
Manager Killefer wants the con-
test resumed at the point where it
was called last night, with the bases
loaded, nobody out, one run IN and
Dudley Lee at bat. The Red Birds
want to play the whole affair over,
naturally.
Race Stays Close
The point is that Columbus is
leading Indianapolis by only two and
one-half games in the race for the
lead of the eastern division of the
loop. A victory for the Tribe last
night would have cut the margin to
one and one-half games.
In the event the Indianapolis pro-
test is allowed, the game of last
night will be completed just be-
fore the regular game tonight;
otherwise two games will be played,
one at p. m. and the second at
BIS, both for the price of one ad-
mission. The double header or
playoff and regular tilt will be free
to the women fans. The program,
regardless of President Hickey's
ruling, will be a special ladies'
night" affair.
Series Ends Tomorrow
The series will be brought to a
close tomorrow and two games will
be played if the teams are rsined
out tonight

sprees last night. Elliott famed
ten Indians and Bolen Whitfield six
Red Birds and Turner disposed of
two by the air waves. Turner took
up the tribe mound toll in the
eighth after SigafooS batted for b.
len, the local starting hurler.
The Indians received two bad
breaks at the outset. Rosenberg
slipped on the damp turf while in
the act of making a catch in the
first inning, and the blow went for
a triple, scoring a run for Columbus.
In the second inning, when Vim
cent Sherlock was on the point of
glowing Elliott's grounder, the ball
took a bad hop and went for
single that sent a runner to third,
whence said runner tailed on a
single by Myers.
Five Hits by Myers
The Indians scored twice in the
first round on a walk to V. Sher-
lock, Cooney's triple and a single
by Bedore. The Birds gained the
lead at to in the fourth on a
single, force out and a double by
Myers. The Myers boy posted a
perfect record at the plate by COL
Letting five consecutive hits. He has
been sold to the New York Giants.
The HooSierS muffed a chance to
tie or capture the lead in the fifth.
Lee was first up and walked. Bolen
| singled and Lee raced TO third.
Cotelle grounded to Myers at short
and Lee dashed for home, but pulled
up and was an easy out when
trapped. Myers throw home was
wide. Vincent Sherlock then hit
into a double play. Hits were thir-
teen for Columbus and six for
Indianapolis.
Field in Good Shape
The strife in the ninth and later
was not without funny side. The
sudden decision TO call time stunned
the players and customers and for
short spell it was difficult to
fathom the situation. Fans were
running all over the stand pulling
at each other, screaming at the UNI
pire and pleading for Manager Kill
lefer TO do something"
