TRIBE AND MILLERS IN SCRAMBLE—YANKS TUMBLE AND LOSE PRESTIGE

Battle for First Place on Between 1 Bushmen and Kelleyites—Huge Crowd Sees Hoosiers Lose. Su Times Special ' 1 MINNEAPOLIS, May 4.—Ownie Bush’s Indians and Mike Kelley’s Millers were to meet in the second game of the series this afternoon and some more furious baseball appeared to be on tap as the clubs fought for the lead in the A. A. The locals drew within one-half game of the flag position by winning Sunday, 2 to 1, and they will be “up there” tonight if they win today.

It looks as though Mike Kelley is going to earn a stack of dollars this season. Fourteen thousand fans jammed the park Sunday to see the first of the series between Hoosiers and Millers and ground rules were necessary. It w-as the largest local crowd since 1915. Great Mound Battle Buck Schemanske and George Dumont hooked up in a pitching struggle and the Miller twirler had the edge. The Indians got five hits and the locals seven. Fisher of the Kelleyites hit a home run and Rehg of the Indians did likewise. It was a tough one to lose for the Tribe’s youthful righhander, but his mates were not hitting the ball and furthermore the few breaks in the game favored Minneapolis. Brilliant .catches by Smith and Fisher saved iDumont twice and prevented runs scoring. It was one of the greatest games staged in the history of the park and closed in wild excitement. Allen opened the ninth with a double and Rehg was called out on strikes. There was a terrific wrangling match between Rehg and Umpire McGrew over the called third strike. Smith Saves Game Krueger came up and Dumont walked him. Schreiber stepped to the plate and met the ball on the nose. The sphere sailed directly over second base about ten feet high and appeared to he a sure safety. Allen sprinted for the plate. The crowd was oil its feet. Centerfielder Smith dashed in with all the power of his legs, speared Schreiber’s drive at his shoe tops, regained his balance and threw to Parenti for a. double play on Allen. It was a remarkable catch, but a heartbreaker to Tribe hopes. George Fisher made a shoestring catch of Schemanske’s short drive to right in the second inning nd thereby cut nff at least one ribe run. It was some session! mHH Indians won at St. Paul Saturday. 6 to 4, making three out rtf four victories for the Tribe over the champions. The Hoosiers won only two games out of twelve in St. Paul last season and they were in joyful spirits Jifter that ‘‘win’’ Saturday. But it was tough to come over here and lose the series opener. Hill and Burw ->ll pitched the Saturday contest. I- ruegpr and Schmandt poled 1 omera. Os the five hits obtained by the Tribe Sunday, Eddie Sicking poled three safe. Allen and Rehg got the otMr wallops. Chrlstenbury, Hodapp, Krueger, Schreiber. Schmandt and Schemanske went hitless. Krueger was walked twice. MAJOR HOMERS SUNDAY Hornsby, Cardinals. Fournier.

Huggins’ Team Falters Badly as Ruth Remains Out of Line-Up— Giants Play to Form. By Henry L. Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 4.—New York’s stumbling Yankees continue to be the most distinct disappointment in the major leagues. The team that was generally picked to be the leading rival of the world’s champion Washington Senators and one that was regarded as a pennant winning probability by some critics, is way down in sixth place.

The Y'ankees have lost seven out of their last eight garnets. "It's a good ball club. They’re just In a slump,” Babe Ruth said Saturday when he received visitors at St. Vincent’s hospital where he is recovering from an operation. “They're not hitting. They’ll come out of it all right,” Miller Huggins, manager of the club, said today. Old Puncn I jacking Without the big Babe to lead the attack the Yankees have been in a terrible hitting slump and they seem unable to get out of it. The batting order has been switched around several times, hut Huggins seems unable to find the old punch.* The pitching, too, has not been up to expectations. Babe Ruth may he out of the game for another month. It is quite apparent now that it will he several weeks before he will be able to leave his bed at the hospital. The Detroit Tigers also are one of the surprising busts of the season. Bad pitching and faulty fielding have lost thirteen games for the club that was generally looked upon as a one-two-three certainty and Ty TECH WINS AT KOKOMO IxH-al Athletes Take Relay Carnival —Manual Places Third.

The Pirates and the Brooklyn Robins aren't getting the pitching expected and the Cincinnati Reds are doing the running up. The Reds are getting the best pitching in the league and they are going along beating a lot of hard luck with three or four regulars out of the lineup.

The Senators seem to be the class of the league and it looks like the Clevelanders are playing a little over their heads.
