American Association Flag Race Again Develops Into Three-Club Thriller
COLONELS CLOSE IN ON 11 SAINTS AND TRIBESMEN Louisville Becomes Close Third as Result of Wednesday's Games —Indians Drop Wild One to Millers, With the Louisville Colonels speedily closing in on Saints and Indians, the A. A. flag struggle once more is thrown into a three-club combat. McCarthy’s team downed St. Paul Wednesday, 4 to 1, and Ownie Bush’s leading Tribesmen were nosed out by the slugging Millers here, 12 to 11.
Saints and Indians have suffered the same ailment —collapse of pitchers —and they are up against the daily problem of trying to pick a hurier strong enough to go the route. Inability of BUI Burwell to take his turn threatens disaster to Tribe hopes. Burwell was ill for more than two weeks and he has not regained sufficient weight and strength to perform on the mound.The Indians were to play the Millers in the second of the series this afternoon. Manager Bush was undecided on his pitching selection, but it looked like Niles or Smith. Niles worked Sunday and Smith performed two innings Wednesday. Hill and Eller were knocked out Wednesday. Lack of proper rest is preventing the home hurlers from showing their best stuff. WASHINGTON PARK NOTES. Bill Hinchman. scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates, viewed the series opener between Millers and Indians. TEddle Sicking wife the Tribe batting: tar Wednesday with five hits out of six trips to the plate. Bad throws, two by Hodapp and one by Campbell, presented the Millers with runs. French handcuffed Campbell with a terrific liner and. though the blow went as a hit. Campbell became confused and threw the ball away at first. Old Jay Kirke collected two singles and a double. He started in left field, then transferred to first when Jourdan, visiting first sacker. turned a weak ankie. Ropiequet fanned two. walked two and E. Smith sent a fly to Allen. "Rope” dropped out for a pinch hitter. The Millers did not score off Ropiequet and George Smith. The Tribe defeat was charged against Eller. Schmandt of the Indians crashed a double and triple and Fisher of the Visitors the same. Hamilton and Niehaus. lefties, and Harris, right hander, did the chucking for the Millers. • Indians and Colonels Draw for Dawson Ownie Bush’s Indians have a fiftyfifty chance of landing Pitcher Joe Dawson of Kansas City. The Blues asked waivers on the player and both Indians and Colonels filed claims. The waiver price is $3,000. When two or more clubs file claims for a waiver player, it becomes necessary' for the teams interested to draw for the athlete. Owner* Smith wired a friend in 'Chicago to go to President Hickey’s office tAday and try “to draw Dawson out of the pot." Rex Dawson, brother of Joe, resides in Indianapolis and Joe prob■bly will be pulling for Indianapolis to win in the gamble Involving his services.
