BETTER HITTING NEEDED IF THE INDIANS ARE TO DO ANY CLIMBING IN THE A. A. STANDING
TRIBESMEN HIT ROLLERS AGAIN BEFORE SAINTS Leaders’ Punch Evidently Too Much for Present Indian Lineup. TWO BINGLES, ONE RUN The Indians evidently have collapsed before the aggressive attack of the Saints. Kelley's leaders grabbed the first game of the series Wednesday by a piece of luck, bin yesterday it was so different that the Tribesmen did not have a chance anywhere along the linp. The Tribe got miserable pitching, which counted them out early, but they also failed to bit, getting only two safeties. FANS STILL LIVE IX HOPES. Better pitching was expected on the mound for the HoAsiers today and loyal j Uns still hoped that their favorites , would show an improved morale, though it looks as if the Saints have too much | punch for' them. i At an.v rate, there are two games left in the series and an even break would cause fans to forget the two contests lost, but the odds are against the Tribe with its present lineup. Charlie Whitehouse took the mound yesterday and he was so wild and the Saints grabbed such a commanding early lead that it was useles to use up aftother pitcher under the circumstances, especially with Southpaw Ooiimbe going so strong that there was every indication that he had the locals beaten. When the contest ended the Saints had an easy victory. 10 to 1, marked up through hits, bases on balls and error*. Truly, it was a bad day all around for the Indians. The Saints scored two runs tn the opening inning, one in the second, three iu the fourth, three in the seventh and one in the ninth. RUSSELL GETS OCR ONLY KIN. The Indians didn't break through until the eighth, when Russell tripled and scored on an out. Whitehouse gave nine bases on balls, and in the face of that kind of pitching the Hoosiers were handicapped. Asa sample of what b3d pitching does, there's the case of Dressen, the Saint lead-off man. In six time* at the plate he got four walks, singled once and reached first oa an error. In only two Innings were visitors kept \ off the paths It's a wonder the Saints didn't’ make their total more than ten. Paul Jones was slated to hurl against the leaders this afternoon, weather permitting. and if he showed tue stuff he l*ad last Sunday h was nearly an even chance that the Tribe would chalk up a victory. HERE'S SEATON AGAIN. LITTLE ROCK. Ark., June 4.—Pitcher Tom Seaton, formerly of the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast league, who, with Pitcher Casey Smith, formerly of the same club, has been barred from taking part in Southern association fames bv President John D. Martin, toay joined the local club of the Southern association. A court petition is being prepared by the of the local club to compel President Martin to approve contracts of Seaton and Smith. MORAN DROPS EVANS DEAL. PITTSBCRG. June 4.— Manager Moran of the Cincy Reds stated today that he had about made up his mind to nave no more dealings with Pitcher Bill Evans, who jumped the Kansas City club to go to the Oil City team. Evans was down here during the stay of the Cardinals and offered to join Riekey's team if paid a large bonus for doing so. He had already received a big increase for going to the outlaws and now ig willing to jump back again at a price. Around the A. A. L —WITH EDDIE ASH — Louie Wolf was slated to play third todav in the event that St. Paul used a southpaw. Rebg was to be shifted to center field, displacing Zwilling. who is not nitnug. Several of the Indian* are far below Class AA standard with the bat ' and unless they pick up it will be useless to pay out good money for new pitchers. Roxey Roach, outlaw agent, wag In the stands yesterday, but stated he was not looking for Indianapolis or St. Paul players. Roxey said he got crossed up on the association schedule and landed in Indianapolis when he should have gone to Louisville. All of which means that the Colonel and Brewer managers had better watch their athletes. There w-ere a number of ‘‘outlaw" fans In the stands yesterday also and they kicked up a fuss over the team’s sad showing The whole machinery of the Tribe has been active in an effort to holster, but Class AA talent is not available. If any of the fans can locate a few stars Owner Smith will appreciate the information. HOW ABOUT IT. JACK? Behold tiie baseball manager! Whenever winning streaks oornr. The pop-eyed baseball fans aver He is a wondrous wizard. But when he hits a losing spell They rise apd give him merryhei In words no cultured tongue can teH And roast him to the gizzard. —Chicago Herald-Examiner. In five of the nine Innings yesterday the Tribe failed to get a man on base. Umpire Hart of the National league, who formerly officiated in the A. A., was a visitor at the park. He was en route to St. Louis. Tex Covington Is deeply discouraged over the bad luck he Is having at the bat. He usually connects solidly, but they won’t fall In safe territory. The Brewers opened up in the sixth yesterday and scored four runs, beating the Colonels, S tn 4. St. Louis Cardinal scouts witnessed the game. The Hens scored a shutout over the Millers and Toledo again sees visions of a pennant. Middleton was In form. Pongo Joe Cantlllon is still searching for players and hopes to sign Outfielder Nixon, who is wandering aronnd somewhere In the cactus belt. Mulrennan went big on the mound for the Senators until the sixth inning, then blew up and the Blues walked off with the game.
