the Tribesters taking two of the

OF the widest battles of the season
was staged at ancient Nicollet Park
and Minneapolis finished on the
long end, IL to 10.
The Redskins were out in front,
10 to 8, going into the ninth, but
the well-known Twin Cities filters"
got stranglehold on the Indians
in the final frame and the Bush
men tailed three .runs-and that
was that. Two Tribe errors con-
tributed to the Miller's winning
Splurge in the last round.
Ten Pitchers See Action
Manager Killefer of the HooSiers

TO close the road trip with a vic

doubles. The Tribes safety total
was ID, including two homers and
five two-baggers. The Indians looked
like sure winners when they got
out in front, 10 to 7. at the end of
the seventh, but in the eighth Nor
RE blasted a homer and this seemed
to supply the spark that encouraged
the Millers to lay down a winning
barrage in the ninth.
Errors Pave Way
It was a sad story, though, that
ninth. With one down Gill reached
first when Heath miScued on his
grounder. Harris followed with a
single to center and Cooney let the
ball get away, Gill scoring from

Jim Turner relieved Red Wright on
the Hoosier mound and erased

Bob Logan relieved Turner. But
the veteran HauSer solved Logan
for a single to right to tally Harris
with the tying run. Norris singled

Vance Page relieved Logan and
Leitz clouted him for a double to
center-and Hauser crossed the
plate with the winning marker.

Stoneham started a rally with a
home run. In the third inning.

and Arlett smashed consecutive
home runs off Jumbo Elliott. Phil

was relieved by Wright.
The Indians grabbed the lead for
the second time by scoring four
runs in the fourth. and they held
the advantage until the fatal ninth.

in the third and left the game.
Both Manager Bush and Out

Eight Won. Eleven Lost
The Indians left home in second
place and return in third. However.

and there is still plenty of time to
jump right back into the pennant
fight. Their road trip record this
time consisted of eight games won,
one tied and IL lost.

Johnny Riddle out of action during
the Milwaukee series was a tough
