KANSAS CITY, Mo, July l.
Strange are the ways Of some ball
clubs. There's indianapolis, for ex-
ample. After knocking off the
hitting Milwaukee Brewers
three out of four, the second-place
Indians invaded Kansas City yes
terdav only three games back Of the
league-leading Millers, and what
happened?
Well, this happened. The Tribes
sters took two on the chin, meaning
they dropped a double-header to
Eddie Zwilling'S Blues.
BY One Run
The scores were 8 to 2, in IL in
nings, and 8 to 7. Losing 'em by
one run has been a habit with the
HooSiers this season, but maybe
they will get over it and dish out
the same kind of treatment to
enemy clubs later. At any rate, the
Tribesters are still second, though
it is admitted that the Minneapolis
outfit is getting too far out in front
to make it comfortable to the other
seven A. A. teams.
The Indians had a chance to gain
a half game on the MillerS yester-
day, but "blowed" in the old clutch.
The Indians we're leading in the
first tilt, 2 to 0, going into the ninth.
A rainstorm then struck and action
was held up. When play was re-
sumed the Indians had lost their
edge and the Blues tailed twice and
tied the game at 2-all. One of the
runs was walked" in by Jumbo
Elliott who issued pass with the
bases loaded.
Four Tribe Pitchers
Lefty Logan pitched great ball
until the rain hit. He was removed
in the ninth when the Blues
launched their rally and Phil CALI
van, Elliott and Wright took a turn
at trying to fool the Blues.
However, Kansas City made short
work of it in the 18th when Alex
ander opened with single. Wright
hit the next man and Alex moved
to second and scored on Sulik's sin
gle. It was all over. Hits were
seven for the Indians and five for
the Blues. It's one for the book
winning an thinning game on five
blows. Struss, Fullerton and Stiles
hurled for Kansas City.
Both teams dubbed the sphere
often in the second battle. Hits
were Is each. Page and Elliott saw
service on the Tribe mound and
Parker and Gauble did the chucking
for the Blues.
Five Runs, Nobody Out
Manager Red Killefer of the
HooSiers became a candidate for
the padded cell after losing the Sec
ond brush with the KawtoWn
FASTENERS. His team held 7-to-1
lead at the first half Of the seventh.
In the second half the Blues counted
once and in the eighth they picked
up another marker.
The Kaws needed five runs to
win in the ninth and got them!
Vance Page fell apart and Elliott,
who relieved, was wild and ineffec-
tive. Page was knocked out and
the Blues made merry. Elliott walked
two men and Stumpf came up with
the sacks loaded and hit a triple to
win the game. Five runs were
chalked by the home nine without
a single batter being retired.
The crowd of about $500 was well
entertained by the home nine.
At Louisville on Fourth
The Indians rode all Saturday
night and part of Sunday morning
to get here. They were tired and
the weather was blistering hot. The
Hoosiers are scheduled at Muehl-
bach field tonight and tomorrow, after
which they will go to Louisville for
games Wednesday, Thursday, the
Fourth, and Friday. They will be
home Saturday to open an import
ant series with the Mailing Millers
Of Ownie Bush.
In other A. A. games yesterday
Minneapolis downed Columbus, To-
ledo raped st. Paul and Milwaukee
and Louisville split twin bill. That
st. Paul club certainly is on the
toboggan. 1t was not so long ago
that the Saints we're in first place.
Now they are sixth.
