Jess Petty hung up his ninth win of the season Wednesday, when he emerged a victor over Bradshaw, 3 to 2. It was a thriller battle, but, unfortunately for the club owners, not many fans were present to see it. The Indians are not earning enough coin here to pay their board. Pug Allen crashed a home-run for the big swat feature Wednesday. The clout came in the second inning. That was Tribe run No. 1. In the same inning Krueger doubled, and scored when Kelly dropped Hodapp's fly. That was Tribe run No. 2. In' the seventh, Sehmandt singled, Campbell sacrificed and Hodapp scored Sehmandt with a single for Tribe run No. 3 and the marker that proved the game winner. i The 'Hens scored their two runs in the fourth, when Campbell started them on their way with an error. ®A single, force-out and double by Shannon put the home markers across. But Petty halted the Hens and goose-egged ’em the remainder of the game. The Wednesday victory boosted the Indians to second place, as the Colonels lost at Columbus.
