The Bushmen will wind up here
tomorrow night and make way Tor
st. Paul on Sunday.
Collecting Is hits. the Tribesmen
had a tough time Of it last night.
They had a six-run lead going INTO
the eighth when Lefty Logan went
to pieces. lost his control and ef-
fectiveness, and before the side was
retired Minneapolis tied the score
by throwing a six-run splurge.
Vance Page finally went in and
halted the violent attack.
Welcome Double Play
In the ninth the Millers loaded
the sacks with one out, but the
Indians put through a double play
to save the game In the Tribe
half of the final inning Bluege
singled and Heath sacrificed. Sun
dra cut loose a wild pitch and
Bluege moved to third. Cooney
drew a free ticket and Stoneham
was given an intentional pass, fill
ing the bases. The Millers were
after a double play, or to cut the
runner on third off at the plate,
but with Stephenson at bat Sundra
let go another wild heave and
Bluege dashed home with the WIN
ming run.
Five Hurlers Used
Minneapolis used three hurlers,
Kolp, Ryan and Sundra, and In
dianapolis got along with two,
Logan and Page. Logan pitched
marvellous ball before he went up
in the eighth inning balloon.
Otto Bluege, Tribe shortStopper,
started the double play that erased
the NIillers in the ninth. 1t was
on a grounder by Norris.
Bedore got three hits and batted
in three markers for the Indians.
Bluege also came through with three
safeties. Arlett and Holland
smacked three safe for the Millers,
both getting two doubles. Holland
had bad night at third base, how
ever, and committed three miscues.

Tribe Chatter

Lefty Logan held the Mailing
Millers to six hits and no runs,
striking out four, for seven innings
last night. In the eighth six men
faced him and all scored. In that
bad frame he issued two walks and
allowed four hits, two for two cush-
ions. Stoneham made a poor throw
in on Luther's short fly in the
eighth, otherwise the Miller rally
would have been held to five runs.
Manager Bush threw IA pas
timers into the fracas trying to
bump off the Redskins.
Both pilots made bad guesseS.
Chief Killefer left Logan in too
long in the eighth and Pilot Bush
picked the wrong third pitcher in
Sundra.
Stephenson pilfered second in the
second stanza and surprised the
Millers. He scored on a Bedore dou-
BILE.
Cooney was struck b. Stoneham's
hot drive while running bases in
the fifth and was out. Stoneham
was credited with a hit. 1t retired
the side. Five Indians batted in
that round without scoring.
CGoney pulled in Greek Georges
wallop in deep right center in the
seventh. 1t was circus catch.
The Greek had different word
for 1t.
Riddle nabbed two runners steal
ing, Gill in the first and Norris in
the second.
Stonehan ran far to snare
Hausers foul in the fifth. It was a
swell catch near the wall,
Gaffke batted for Hauser in the
sixth with the bases filled and was
an easy out. He then went to center
field and Spencer Harris took
Hauser's place at first base.
The Indians and the MilIers
have met four times this season.
In Minneapolis the Bushmen won
all three by the same score, 3 to 2.
And 1t was one-run margin for
the Redskins here last night.
Hometown admirers of Ownie
Bush presented him with a fishing
tackle before the contest last night.
He's quite an angler.

and given another test late in the
afternoon. Dave Evans and Billy
VIM may be the first of the Ford

Another thrill was added to the
drama-packed preface activities
shortly before dusk yesterday. Ma<

around the brick saucer, was tear
ing along at a 100-mile-an-hour clip

southwest curve.
Quick Thinking Saves Shaw
Clark's car whirled and shot for

wheel as the dirt track drivers do
in an attempt to right the careen-
ing car. Wilbur Shaw was roaring
along behind the Clark car. He
saw the Clark car and headed for
the inside. At the same time, the
Illinois pilots machine charged in
the same direction. Shaw squeezed
through by inches as the other car
rammed head-on into the concrete
wall.
Clark and his mechanic escaped
injury and the car was damaged
only slightly. Everybody decided to
call it day.

MORE NUTS


Although the beef and pork
price situation is of decided in
terest, the department issues one
statement of great concern. It is
entitled:
"The outlook for Tree Nuts
in 1885,"
According to the department:
aside from the expected higher
level Of consumers income, the
most outstanding features in the
outlook for tree nuts (nutS other
than peanutS) appear to be:
Il. A further increase in donles-
tic production.
"2. A further increase in the
consumption of caShews: and
"3. Keener competition of pc
cans with other nuts, probsbly
walnutS in particular.
In addition, any changes in the
duties on nuts imported into the
United States, as we'll as the adop'
ton of new types of import ie'
strictions, would become impor'
tant features in the nut outlook. "

ALL OF US

ALL OF US
I've never in my life heard so
much cockeyed nonsense as I've
heard lately. And not from nit
wits or babblerS, either. For
Priceless Piffle, the supposedly en-
lightened lead 'em all.
I refer to these endless discus
sions about the DepreSSion-that
being practically the only conver-
sation we've had for years n years
with everyone blaming the CAPT
talists for the plight we're in.
Needless to say that I, being
writer am NOT a Capitalist. More
over, to show how far I am from
being one, I was brought up a
Socialist and still am strong for
the notion.
I believe emphatically in giving
everyone square and even deal
and in knocking the tar out Of
anyone who tries to gum up the
program. But when it comes to
blaming Capitalists and Capital
ism for all the evils we now suffer
-phooey!
After all-what is a Capitalist?
He's somebody who sells some
thing and makes a fat profit
thereby.
LITTLE DIFFERENCE
But does that necessarily ruin
you or me? Has that necessarily
caused the depression?
It has NOT. It's not the
THING FOR SALE which busts
your and me-but the THING WE
BUY.
The Capitalist can't make any
profit out of you or me unless
we buy his stuff. And the min
ute we buy his stuff, we're as re-
SponSible as he.
