COLONELS AND INDIANS CLASH IN TWIN CARD Hoosiers Hopeful of Finding Batting Eyes After Suffering One-Hit Defeat. DROP SERIES OPENER LOUISVILLE, Sept. 9.—lndians and Colonels were carded in a double bill thte afternoon and the visiting Hoosiers were hopeful of grabbing both. Gaw and Jones were slated for Tribe mound duty. Failure to hit behind good pitching cost the Indians the series opener Wednesday, the Colonels coming out on top, 3 to 1. The Hoosiers got only one hit ofT Wayne Wright and that did not come until the ninth, when Henllne weut In as a pinch hitter and delivered with a donble. Butch’s hit was of the high fly variety that fooled Massey and Kirke, who were chasing It, but it was a hit nevertheless, and it ruined Wright's effort to ring up a no-hit contest. Charlie Whitehouse hurled for the Indians and he pitched excellent ball. His support was erratic, however, and the locals were able to break through for victory. Betzel got a home run in the seventh that broke a 1-to-l tie, the drive hopping over the left field bleacher* The Indians only run came in the second frame when Tincup, playing left field, muffed two Tribe drives. The Co,onels had been helped to a score in the opening inning by Smith and after Betzel had drlvan out bis circuit hit iu the seventh the locals added their last and third marker of the day in the eighth when Smith again erred.
