After suffering defeats Saturday and Sunday the Hoosiers turned the tables and knocked the Keileyitea stiff by taking Monday's tilt, 9 to 0, and then coming back yeeterday with another shuotout victory, 2 to 0. Charlie Whitehouse came through with another brilliant pitching sketch yesterday, giving ap on.y four hits to the champion*. Whitey had the Saint sluggers sfopped and In five of the cine Innings not a visitor reached first base. Charlie used fine Judgement and kept pegging at the corners, much to the dismay of the opposing batsmen. Kelley's outfit tried every known means to force Whitey to crack, but he held his nerve and sailed home a winner. The Saints used three pitchers and a pinch hitter in an effort to pall the game out, but the Indians were on the warpath again and they were not to be stopped. Butch HCnline came out of his batting slump bv getting two hits, the first blow driving in the first Hoosier run in the fourth after Rehg and Schrleber had sin-
glad. The second Indian marker came la the eighth, when Smith singled, moved up on Covington’s sacrifice, advanced again on Rehg s infield hit and scored on Bchrelber’s fielder’s choice. A catch by Left Fielder Haas off Rellley was the fielding feature. Duke hit sharply to left center In the opening Inning and the drive looked good for an extra base clout, but Haas raced over, left his feet for a dive and came up with the ball. Haas skidded over the ground like he had rollers under him, and he almost repeated the stunt In the third when Beilley again hit to his territory. Haas certainly can go get 'em.
Around the A. A. — WITH £DDIE ASH It ■was to be Rogers or Gaw on the luound for the Indians in the Minneapolla opener this afternoon. Now that the Hooaiers redeemed themgelvea bv getting an even break in the aerie* with the champions the fans ere looking forward to seeing their favorites stage another winning streak. Scout Dick Kinsella was impressed by Henllne's work yesterday and also by the pitching of Whitehourso. He probnbly will decide to watch Whitey anci Jones now as well as Hen’.ine. in addition he intends to keep an eye on Shlnners’ record. Eedlley, Rehg and Henline ea'h got two hit*. Rehg's hit in the fourth tore Thirdbaseman Rspp's glove from his hand and the Saint had to borrow a mit. Sebrelber failed to rnn out his rap tc Dressen In the eighth and missed a chance to continue th> rally. It pave to keep going until the umpire makes Lie decision, and sometimes it pays to continue running until even after the decision, because some umpires. Shanmon, for instance, frequently make double decisions. Red Hares, south sldo boy. may be given a trial bv the Indians. He is recently of the Flint Mint league club. lie has fine action and plenty of nerve. A loyal Tuesday crowd was out and the attendance topped Monday’s figures by several hundred. Tho fans believe in the Indians even if they can’t see them win on Sunday. Duke Reilley said if Haas had captured his second bid for a hit he would have retired for the day. Further proof of the honesty of organized baseball was exemplified in the St. Paul series. The home team lost before the big crowds and won before the lighter ones. Vice President Smith is endeavoring to secure a date with the Now York Americans, starring Babe Rnth. for an exhibition game with the Indians st Washington park, Wednesday, Sept. 22. Both clubs have an open date Sept. 22, and If Smith gets the home-run king here a record attendance no doubt -.vill turn out. By that time Babe doubtless will have raado forty-fire borne rung. The Washington Americans, starring Nleh Altroek and Sam Rice, will play an exhibition here Sept. 15. Definite word regarding the game with Ruth’s team was to be received today. If that sock*>r king appears here thera certainly will be a hot time at Washingtpn park. Eddie Zwllllng, who was called to his St. Louis home because of.the death of his father, is not expected hack in the Tribe lineup until next week. Catcher TValter Mayer of the Millers also is absent from hi* team because of tbi, death of his father in Cincinnati.
