INDIANS SLIP IN LEAGUE RAGE—SPEED EVENT ON AT CHARLOTTE TRACK
Tribe Takes Walloping at K. C. and * Moves on to Milwaukee-Bush-men Drop to Third Place. The Indians were in Milwaukee today to open a fourgame series and Manager Bush was almost on his knees begging his boys to step out and get some base hits. The Tribesmen got only five safeties in the series finale with the Blues at Kansas City Sunday and as a result the Hoosiers took a severe pasting at the hands of Lavan's team, the score being 9 to 2.
The Indians have fallen away to third place in the league standing, the Brewers having taken the run-ner-up position to the league-leading Millers. Minneapolis, the surprise club of the A. A., continues to crash the ball and it has thrown fear into the other seven aggregations. On Sunday the Kelleyites needed six runs to win in the ninth and they scored just that many, beating the Hens, 9 to 8. Duncan cleaned the sacks with a homer and See, a pinch hitter, clouted one over the fence with a mate ahead. Burwell started on the mound for the Indians in K. C. Sunday and Maun relieved him after the second. Maun dropped out for a pinch hitter in the seventh and Thompson took up the job and was slammed for five runs in the eighth. Messenger, pitching for the Blues, ■azzled the Tribesmen and heir five Pnlts were scattered. Lavan’.' tossers eoolelcted a total of fifteen hits. Owing to two postponements, only two games were played in Kawtown, the Tribe winning Thursday and the Blues Sunday. Eddie Sicking, star second sacker, who has been fielding and batting in big league style, is out of the game with the flu and Yoter played his position Sunday. Sumpter Clarke also is on the hospital list with a bad leg. Os the five hits obtained by the Tribe in the K. C. windup, Rehg obtained two and Hodapp, Allen and Yoter each one.
