BY winning last night, 8 to 2, be-
hind excelling twirling by Lefty
Bob Logan, the Indians made it
three out of five in the series with
the Columbus Red Birds and stayed
one jump back Of the league-lead-
ing Saints.
Fred Haney's Toledo Mud Hens,
who swept series from the Red
skins in Toledo recently, will begin
a four-game stand at Perry Stadium
tonight with action starting at 8:15.
Paced by Cooney and Riddle with
three hits each, the Tribesters COL
lected thirteen blows last night and
knocked Southpaw Jim Mooney out
of the box in the second stanza.
Cooper. a Highlander, relieved
and also took sound humping.
Mooney Sent to Showers
The Indians tailed one or more
times in each of the first six in
nings. Johnny Riddle batted in
three markers and Fred Before two.
Otto Bluege'S work in the shortf1eld
was red-hot. Two-base hits were
smacked by Stephenson, Bedore and
Stoneham of the Indians and by
Cullop Of the Red Birds. Catcher
OgrodowSki of the Birds walloped a
triple in the second session.
It was celebrated as John Cooney
night" and the Tribes popular mid
die fielder was loaded down with
gifts by merchants, other loyal fans
and by the ball club.
Lefty Grows Stronger
Logan grew shaky in the second
stanza when Cullop led off with
double and Ogrodowski followed
with a triple, but his mates came
through with some sparkling field
ing and put Bob back on his stride.
He held the visitors scoreless after
that and kept five hits scattered in
the last seven rounds. He famed
four and walked two.
A diving stop by Bedore cut off a
Columbus run in the third. Run
nerS were on first and third when
Cullop sent a twisting roller be-
yond the reach of Logan and Heath.
Bedore came in fast, made a head
long stop and tossed the ball to
Heath for the, third out. Fullis, Red
Bird center fielder, took a hit away
from Bluege when he went deep
and SHARED his fly on the run in the
fifth.

TINE series opener with Louis
l. vile Saturday will be played
in the afternoon at o'clock instead
of under the lights at night. There
will be a double-header Sunday
and the series will close
on Monday with a night game. The
Tribesters then will hit the road
for a long stretch. All four tits
with Toledo will be staged at night
TIRED HANEY'S Hens are in
Il seventh place, but are far from
being sunk" The club is showing
signs of getting into the pennant
fight. The Hens only are seven
and one-half games back of the
leading Apostles. That gives an
idea of the hard race underway in
Tom Hickey's circuit. The weather,
however. has hurt attendance in all
cities. It's January in June.
The Indians and the Red Birds
have met Is times this season
and the HOOsiers have finished
out in front in nine of the clashes.

Usually when a ball player is
~ given "a night" the jinx
climbs on his neck and makes him
look bad. Not so with Johnny
Cooney. He poled three safe last
night, scored once, batted in one
run and handled two chances in
his customary big league fashion.

1t was damp at the Stadium last
night and the pitchers we're an
noyed by slippery ball. -Four wild
pitches were made.
Shorty Ankenn,an of the Birds
beat out a bunt" once, but it
didn't count. Riddle let it roll
and the ball finally eaSed over
the foul line before it reached
third base.
