Colonels and Indians in Hci Race to Oust Saints From League Lead

A. A. FLAG CHASE HAS ROOTERS FEELING DIZZY

Fans in Three Cities Watch Thriller Struggle—Tribe Hits Hard in Opener With Milwaukee Brewers, By EDDIE ASH The home fans certainly love to see their Indians bang the ball. Wednesday, at the ball yard, the Bushmen tangled" with die Brewers, uncorked some heavy stick work and walloped 'he leather for seventeen hits. It was a surprise outbreak on the part of the Tribesmen. Thev have not been going any too well with the bat.

The Wednesday victory permitted the Hoosiers to gain a full game on :he leading Saints and also kept them on the heels of the second-place Colonels. St. Paul lost at Columbus Wednesday and Louisville nosed out Kansas City. If the Saints lost again today and the Colonels won. the Blue Grass Ooys were going to be the new league

If the Tribe won and the Colonels lost, the Indians were in position to bound into second place. Fans of St. Paul. Louisvi'le and Indianapolis are kept busy figuring ‘if win” and “if lose” dope. If the Tribesmen won today and both St. Paul and Louisville lost. Indianapolis will be within one point of the ead tonight. The Indians won. 8 to 4, here Wednesday and forced Milwaukee to use three pitchers. Pott started and gave way to Shanev. and the latter soon retired in favor of Lingrel. Th” Tribesmen were strong with the bludgeon early in the season and the rooters are pulling for them to continue the clouting comeback Started Wednesday. Jess Petty was the probable choice for mound duty against the Brewers at Washington Park this afternoon. It was “kids’ day” and the Tribe lefty hoped to give the little fellows something to shout about. Tribe- Park Gossip Fred Fitzsimmons did the flinging for the Indians Wednesday. He was hit occasionally, but his mates saved him without much trouble. Umpires Murray and Freeman, regular league officials, failed to show up for the Wednesday fracas hex and Mike Qualters, local umpire, and Pitcher Winn of the Brewers, handled the contest. Qualters worked behind the plate and performed as well as any of the A. A. regular*. Winn got by in the field like a veteran ump. Qualters is a lieutenant in the fire department. Murray and Freeman got crossed up on the schedule and thought they were to remain in Louisville Wedn ?•$- day. When they discovered their error. Murray tried to engage an airplane, but gave up the plan when told it would cost him 8150. Freeman laughed at the airplane idea, saying he didn’t care to ride in the clouds. Murray said he had been in the league twelve years without failing to “show.” and for that reason he was willing to risk his neck to keep the date. Sicking and Christenbury each got three hits for the Tribe Wednesday. Christie is going big as the lead-off man. He has reached base the first time up for the last nine games. Sam Adelson. Plant City (Fla.) booster, watched the Indians perform Wednesday. He is visiting hero a few days. It was Adelson who did much of the work in arranging for the Tribe’s spring training trip to Plant City'. He is one of Florida's prominent strawberry and cucumber shippers. He says Plant City fans are keeping a close check on the Indians’ record. Big Schmandt performed in fine style around first base and poled a double and single. Outfielder Gene Bailey, obtained from Brooklyn in the Brown deal, has agreed to report to Indianapolis rSunday, according to a message received by Vice President Smith late Wednesday.
