The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-07-14


Milwaukee here this afternoon, but
the Brewers were burning up to
sweep the series. The Indians are
crippled with both Washington and
Cotelle nursing bruises, and their
outlook for today was none too
bright.
Fourth Defeat in Row
Following the battle at Borchert
field this afternoon Red Killefer's
Redskins will jump to Minneapolis
to begin five-game series tomor-
row with a double-header opening
the set on the Sabbath. The Tribe
has played eleven games since leav-
ing home and has won five and lost
six. The setback here yesterday
was the fourth in a row for the Kill
leferites.
The Indians have played six
games in Milwaukee this season and
have yet to finish on the long end
of the score. The three-game series
played here in May was a grand
slam for the Brewers.
Phil Weinert, the veteran south
paw obtained N a trade with Louis
vile when Jack Using was sent to
the Colonies, started on the Tribe
mound yesterday and was knocked
out before he could retire the side in
the first stanza. 1t was his first start
as an Indian and the Brewers
cracked everything he tossed their
way.
Weinert Is BOmbard2d
Milwaukee tailed four runs off
Weinert before Hal Chamberlain
went to the rescue. The big rookie
pitched great ball until the ninth
when the home nine staged another
splurge and Kloza's triple with the
bases loaded accounted for three
runs. The other tally made off
Chamberlain was registered in the
third StanZa.
The galloping Brewers slammed
out eleven hits and made them
count, whereas the Indians collect
ed thirteen safeties. Tribe blows
were absent when hits meant runs.
Two markers in the third round and
one in the sixth represented the
Hoosier run making for the after
noon. Lefty BraXton went the full
distance on the Milwaukee rubber.
He is the ace left-hander of the |
Brewers.
Jack Sherlock, with three hits, |
led the Tribe attack, but no runs
were batted in by the first sacker.
Vernon George Washington, Tribe
right fielder and leading slugger,
was on the sidelineS with an injured |
hand and Frank Sigafoos covered |
right field. George batted for Lee
in the ninth and singled.
Eddie Marshall, who made two
errors in the first two innings, |
sailed into left field to rob Bedore
of hit leading off in the second.
The Brewers made four successive
singles off Weinert before Phil re-
tired a batter in the first inning.
After that he was replaced by
Chamberlain. BraXton fooled three
Indians on strikes in the first two
frames.
Sullivan tried to bunt in the sec
ond but Chamberlain was under his
popup. Rosenberg made the first
clean hit off BraXton, a single to
center in the third.
Sigafoos gave the Brewers an I'M
earned run in the third when he
dropped Vineyards drive, giving Err
ME two bases and permitting Webb |
to go from first to third. An out
field fly scored the run.
Rosenberg backed up against the
fence for Webb's drive to retire the |
side in the fourth. Two we're on
base at the time.
The consistent hard hitting of |
Vernon Washington has attracted |
the major league scouts and it is
reported that the Philadelphia Ath-
letics are on the point of making
an offer for the stalwart Texan. The |
fact that he smacks both left ana |
right-handed pitching has brought |
the scouts running. Mr. G.. Wash |
doesn't care who's facing him on |
the slab-he swings his mace for
safeties just the same.
Minneapolis winning streak was
snapped at five straight yesterday |
when Toledo defeated the Millers,
7 to 4. Perrin gave Toledo the vic
tory over the Millers, but weakened |
in the ninth, and the veteran
George Uhle replaced him. The
Millers got three of their four runs
in this inning. Refs, Toledo CEN
ter fielder, hit two homers.
Phelps held Columbus to seven
hits as the Saints scored six runs
in the first three innings, and the
Red Birds were unable to threaten
his lead. The final count was to l.
