Red Killefer's Indians finally
cleared their batting eyes last night
and took it out on the Milwaukee
Brewers to the tune of IL to 4. The
second-placers collected 10 blows,
with everybody hitting one or more
times. AS a matter Of fact the Mil
waukee boys were well-exhausted
before the end of hostilities as a re-
suit of chasing Tribe drives.
The teams will clash under the
lights tonight at 8:15 and it will be
another ladies night" game. 1t also
will be celebrated as Johnny Rid
die night" and industrial night.
In other words, a late season bar
gain.
Series Finale Tomorrow
The series finale will be played
tomorrow night and will close the
books on the Indians competition
against western A. A. teams.
Lefty Logan lasted the distance
on the Tribe rubber last night and
he was opposed by Polli and
Mackey. The veteran Polli was
knocked out in the second during a
Tribe five-run rally. Mackey, a
young southpaw, was sent in and
was successful in stopping the
Hoosiers until the sixth. After that,
however, he was handed hard lac
ing
The Indians tailed five markers
IN the second, two in the sixth, one
in the seventh and three in the
eighth Milwaukee counted two
runs in the second and two in the
fifth. Logan then frightened and
the Brewers were through getting
men around the paths.
Lawrie Hits Ball
Babe LaWrie, rookie inf1elder, got
a chance at third base for the In
dams and walloped a single and'
double and batted in three runs.
He Subbed for Fred Bedore, who
was on the sidelines with an ankle
injury received Sunday. Lawrie re-
ceived the first chance of the gams
and came up with the sphere to
toss out Marshall.
Marshall was banished in the
seventh after an argument with
Umpire Johnston and Hope went
to the position for the Brewers.
Cooney and Otto Bluege
turned in brilliant plays for the
home nine and gave the crowd a
chance to roar its approval
Lefty Logan bros-, out with p
base hit rash and helped his own
cause by smacking two doubles. He
also batted in two runs and scored
twice himself He allowed the Wis
itors nine hits and struck cut five.
CoOney led the Redskins attack
with three safeties, one for two
bases.

upon Phillip Krasnik at about IL: 81

he slammed on his brakes. bring
ing his car to a stop.
AS his car stopped a man leaped
upon his running board brandish-
ing a long knife. The man ordered
Krasnik to drive around the cor
nee where he robbed him of $50
and escaped between the houses

That the couple was working to-

the woman shouted something to
! the man as he boarded the car.
