Redskins Take
Saints, 1, in
Series First
Tribe Collects II Blows and
ChaSeS Hunter; Second
Tilt Tonight.
BY EDDIE ASH
Times Sports Writer.


While Vance Page subdued the
enemy by scattering their hits, the
Indians blasted out a 7-to-1 victory
over the Saints in the series opener
under the bulbs at Perry Stadium
last night. A crowd Of 1000 watched
the Tribesters get out in front and
stay there.
1t was ladies night" and more
than 1000 feminine fans were on
hand. Paid attendance was better
than 1900. Boys from the Indian
apolis Orphans Home also were
present as guests of the ball club.
Page breezed along and seldom
was in hot water except in the
eighth and ninth StanzaS.
Tribe Starts Early
The Redskins got to Hunter for
one marker in the second on sues
cessive singles by Sherlock, Riddle
and Page, and in the fourth they
tailed twice on Bedore's single, al
error on Sherlock's sacrifice, Rid
dies double and a wild throw.
The Indians produced a cluster
of three in the seventh and knocked
Hunter, right-hander, off the Apos-
ties mound. Bluege doubled, CO.
telle tripled and Stephenson deliv~
cred a timely blow that sent Hunter
to the showers.
Grimes, a southpaw, took up the
toll for the visitors. He dropped
out for a pinch hitter in the eighth
and Gene Trow, right-hander, hn-
ished. Trow was wild and the Red
skins solved him for one run with
the aid of two walks, a single and
an error.
Three Hits by Riddle
Seven Saints faced Page in the
eighth, but he finally worked out
of the danger after allowing only
one run.
Riddle led the Indians with the
Wy pOuAANlAAS Oub bAAC
hits, including a double. The home
nine completed two double plays
and the visitors the same.
Page was struck by a whiStling
line drive in the third and knocked
down, but recovered after a brief
time out and went on to tack up
his eighth victory of the season.
The second of the series will be
played tonight at 8:15. The Saints
are booked here through Saturday.

REV CHARLES E. COUCHLIN MADE
 MANY MISTAKES
World Court Committee Calls Attention to His
 Sunday Address

New York, Jan 28.-UP)-The national world court committed to- day issued statement signed by Newton D. Baker and nine other lawyers and educators, contending that Father Charles D. Coughlin's opposition to tho world court was based on "a great many mistakes of fact" iN
 The Detroit priest ignores the tact that the annual conventions of many organizations have fnv- ored adherence, the statement said. These include the National Grange, the A. r. of L., the Federal Coun- ell of Churches qof Christ Of America and others.
 "Father Coughlin says all the veterans are against the court. He ignores the fact that tho Amer ican Legion endorsed American membership In the world court In 1925 and 1929," the statement sald, "and that eleven state departments of tho Legion passed similar reso- lutions." W
 The statement added that the priest confused the worldl court and the League of Nations, inas- much as lin joining the world court We do not joiS the league in any way"
 The statement said. that fl. Prcsi- dent Wilson ever said the Amcri- can armed forces would be used to preserve peace he referred 10 the league, not tho court as con- tended by Father Coughlin.
