BetzeVs Tribe Has Chance to Go Into First Place in . Series. VISITORS HAVE POWER Win Five and Lose One Before Local Invasion. BY EDDIE ASH THE Blues are in town, the K. C. boys, some times called the Kawtown brigade, and they are the first undisputed occupants of first place in the A. A. marathon by virtue of winning five games and losing one while calling on the Toledo Hens and Columbus Senators. Oh, yes, the Blues were in two tie contests, but unlike football a tie is no mar in baseball and does not enter into the club standing because ties are disposed of later by double-headers. Tribe Close Up Closely pressing the K. C. pastimers are the Indians of Bruno Betzel with four games won and one lost, and therefore the series starting out W. Washington way today is given the honor of being rated a battle for first place, much to the disgust of the Milwaukee Brewers who thought they were going to grab a strangle hold on the top from 4he opening bell and defy Blues, Saints, Indians and other clubs to knock ’em off. True the Brewers are up and coming and doubtless will scoot to the A. A. heights shortly, but just the same RIGHT NOW the Blues and Indians are enjoying the scenery in the choice positions. If the Indians downed the Blues today, the home boys will lead the league tonight. Blues in Eight Games While bad weather has interfered with the playing of many games since April 10, when the A. A. curtain was lifted, the Kansas City aggregation managed somehow to avoid postponements and they got in all eight contests, albeit two of their struggles went to no-decision, one at Toledo and one at Columbus. In other words they got the benefit of playing every day, which helps much in early spring. Our Indians were not that fortunate for they were forced to loaf three days of the first eight on the schedule, the third postponement coming Tuesday when rain and cold weather prevented the finale of their series with St. Paul. The Blues were defeated for the first time at Columbus Tuesday, 4 to 3, the fracas going ten innings. It’s evident the Senator herd is no set-up this season for any club, at least their record against Brewers and Blues indicates as much. Zwilling Leads ’Em Eddie (Dutch) Zwilling, who used to patrol the Indian outfield in spread-eagle fashion, is manager of the Blues, and he’ll have his boys here four days, the series starting this afternoon. Numerous A. A. favorites are on his roster, some of them being Long Tom Sheehan, Jimmy Zinn, Cy Warmouth, John Peters, Denver Grigsby, Wamby and others. Kuhel, anew man whom the Blues have had farmed out since 1923, is holding down first base and is said to be doing it in style. Kansas City is the third western club to be met by the Indians and Washington Park customers are expected to show lively interest in the new series if they get any encouragement at all from the weather. Hot Rays Overdue If there be warm sunshine “just around the corner,” many fans are in danger of developing wry necks peeking for it. Ice-bound Greenly islet, where the Bremen plane landed, would hold no fears for loyal Tribe rooters who survived the first five games of the local season. TWO CAPTAINS Bv Unit Pit Press MADISON, Wis., April 13.—The University of Wisconsin’s 1929 basketball team will have two captains. They are Elmer Tenhopen, Cleveland, Ohio, and Johnny Doyle, Waukegan, 111., elected Tuesday night.

Indians Tangle With K. C. Blues

Newest Member of Bruno’s Tribe

m* , ' ' '♦* ' ’ > % \ i \n

Eddie Onslow

The newest member of Bruno Betzel’s Indians is Eddie Onslow, who is striving to get in shape to give Walter Holke a batiie for first base. Onslow was purchased after the Tribe left spring training camp and he did not have the benefit of practice under the warm southern sun. He batted .311 for the Rochester Internationals last season and Holke hit .309 for Indianapolis. It’s evident, therefore, that the battle for the initial sack job is certain to be close and interesting. Holke emerged from his spring training slump and wielded the stick for a .400 average in the first five games of the A. A. season.

Tuesday’s Hero: Percy Lee Jones of the Chicago Cubs. The sometimes erratic southpaw had one of his good days and outpitched Grover Cleveland Alexander of the St. Louis Cardinals in a ten-inning contest to win, 3 to 2. The Cards made only five hits off Jones. Jones added the final touch to a big day by scoring the winning run in the tenth inning. He led off with a single, advanced on a sacrifice and scored on Kiki/ Cuyler’s single. The Cleveland Indians gained undisputed possession of second place in the American League by defeating the Detroit Tigers, 6 to 4 George Burns contributed a timely single which scored two runs in the seventh and Willis Hudlin came through with three innings of splendid relief pitching for Cleveland. Teddy Lyons gave the St. Louis Browns ten hits, but they could fit them into only two runs and the Chicago White Sox stopped Dan Howley’s upstarts for the second day in succession, 4 to 2. All other games were postponed because of rain and cold weathery
