A. A. PENNANT RACE ASSURES GREAT FINISH / . Colonels Slight Favorites, but Millers Continue to Camp Within Easy Reach. BLUES THIRD CHOICE With the Beacon still a month to go, the pennant Isn't “in,” by any means, in the American Association. But the race apparently has narrowed down to three, with the Louisville Colonels a slight favorite. The Minneapolis Millers and the Kansas City Blues are the'other two given a chance for the bunting by the wise ones. The Millers are two and a half games behind the Colonels and have been going better of late than at any time this season. , But the Colonels have also been playing 1 heads up baseball despite accidents and I failure of Tommy Long, star pitcher, to come through. It looked as though the Colonels chances had gone two weeks ago when Bruno Betzel, veteran second baseman, broke his ankle. But the Colonels negotiated a deal for Buck Herzog, veteran star of the majors, purchasing him from the last-place Columbus Senators and he fitted into the Louisville machine Louisville has one advantage over the Millers and Blues. They'll finish the season st home, playing Indianapolis. Minneapolis, St. Paul and Kansas City, in th order named, while the Millers and Blues are bitting the bumps on the road. However, on the Millers' last road Jannt they established a splendid record. Kansas City, six games behind Louisville, furnishes a minor league parallel to the New York Yankees. The Blues have the most batting power in the American Association, but they lack the bead-work and defensive ability to make the grade. They lead the league in batting and have scored 100 more runs than any other club. They also have the league's leading pitcher in Gus Bono and the Association’s Babe Ruth In Bunny Brief, who has clouted twentynine home runs. The Milwaukee Brewers are hanging to fourth place. Toledo, Indianapolis and St. Paul are fighting It out for the I leading position in tne second division Columbus seems hopelessly destined for last place. INDIANS RENEW BREWER SERIES MILWAUKEE, Ang. 23.—After enjoying a holiday Monday the Indians and Brew- i ers were ready to swing back into ac- j tion here today In the third game of the series The players were permitted to spend Monday in recovering from the strenuous double header Sunday, which used up the regularly scheduled game of yesterday in order to provide the fans with a bargain day. Cavet was due to reappear on the Tribe mound today and bis mates figured it about his time to wft. In his last • time out he suffered a shut-out at the hands of the Kansas City Blues and he was highly desirous of posting a victory . this afternoon. The Brewers were all fired with deter mination today rnd they were threa ecing to massacre the Hoosiers. The Eginltes are still boiling over the two defeats handed them Sunday and they are anxious to grab the game today and the wind-up tomorrow in order to get an even break In the series. Managed Hendricks sees some encouragement in the recent performance of, his Indians, and he now believes they will be able to gain the top of the sec- j ond division before they return home The team is pounding the ball hard, the base-running remains high class and the pitching swnu to be improving. Perhaps the Hoosiers are destined to hare another run of luck Just as they are preparing to invade the northwest. If they do It will be a sad blow to the Millers' pennant hopes, for it was the Indians that gave the Millers a fearful set back on the Hosiers' last visit to Minneapolis. MONDAY jyGHTS BOCTS.
