TRIBE FIGHTS TO COAX BACK TIMELY BLOWS Hoosiers Feel All They Need Is Fresh Start and They’ll Speed Again. CAVET HAS OFF-DAY The Indians were in a scrappy mood today and were set to fight like wild men in an effort to get back on their battling stride. In the two games since returning home from their successful road trip the Hoosiers have found it impossible to get hits with men on. bases, but today they felt that they were due and hence the fans were expecting to see the Tribesmen throw the hooks into Jack Egan's Brewers in the third game of the series. Paul Jones was slated to face Jake Northrop on the mound and. as the Hoosiers have whaled Jake's offerings before, they saw no reason why they shouldn't come through this afternoon. Both teams were in belligerent attitude today as a result of some wordy warfare yesterday and a contest of thrills was promised. The Brewers walked off with the honors yesterday. 7 to 1. when the visitors found Cavet’s offerings while the Indians failed to do much with McWheeney's slants. In fact the Milwaukee kurier struck out ten Hoosiers and gave up only six hits. McWtaeenev was in unusually good form all the way and It is net likely that any club in the association could hare beaten him. The Brewers scored in the second when Hap fluhn got around on his double, an out and a sacrifice fly. in the seventh they scored two more markers. one again in the eighth and three in the ninth. The Tribe got its lone run in the eighth when Shinncrs made the circuit on his single, an error, an out and an infield play. Itehg was the only Hoosier to do much with the Brewer pitcher's offerings. Waiter getting two hits out of four trips^ Hap Hahn was the same old dangerous Hap with the bat and. though he was passed twice, he managed to whang out two doubles. On the two occasions Huhn was walked Cavet chose that means to bring about chances for double plays and the tactics worked perfectly both times, with Gearln the victim. The Hoosiers were somewhat deby the second defeat in two days, but they felt today that ail they need is a tart and they will again be on their way. Two or more runs In one rally will Just about swing the team back into its stride and the Tribesmen were out to clean up this afternoon.
