Indians Find Going Tough in St. Paul Layne's Absence Keenly Felt; Brewers Next After Finale With Apostles. By Timet Special ST. PAUL, May 3.—Nick Allen’s Saints made it three in a row over the Indians here Wednesday and today the series finale was to be staged. On Friday the Tribesmen open a three-game series at Milwaukee with Jack Lelivelt’s Brewers. Walter Betts hung up his fourth pitching victory of the season when he trimmed the Hoosiers Wednesday, 6 to 2, holding them to six hits. He is the same hurler the Indians knocked out of the box early in Monday’s long fracas. But it was a different Betts out there Wednesday and he kept control of the situation after his mates gained an early lead. Three Runs in Third Dixie Leverett went the full route for the losers and was touched for ten hits, the locals’ fat inning being the third when they scored three times. v The Indians miscued three times, Leverett making a bad throw that helped the Apostles in the third and Anderson dropped a fly in the seventh that gave Allen’s crew a run. Anderson also let a ground ball get through him. The Tribe is handicapped heavily by the absence of Left Fielder Layne, out with a bad ankle. Fred Haney returned to action Wednesday after a day’s lay-off with a sore thigh and he got one hit, a double. Morehart, Holke Star Morehart was the batting star for the Saints with a triple, double and single and Walter Holke was the mainstay swatter for the Indians with two singles and a double. Rain threatened before the game and there was a light shower during the eighth inning, the threatening weather keeping attendance down to about 500. RULED INELIGIBLE By United, Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind., May 3. Capt. Jimmy Burke of the Indiana University baseball team, was ruled ineligible for further games because he played last summer with a semiprofessional team.

Harris of the Millers, former Shreveport outfielder, poled two homers to help his team make it three in-a row over Louisville Wednesday, 7 to 3. Pat Duncan turned in three great catches and Sam Bohne stole three bases. Dndley Branom is doing well with the Colonels, and the Louisville bosses have no regrets over paying 512,500 for the tall first sacker and Catcher Shinault. Branom got a homer and two singles Wednesday. Milwaukee scored three runs in the ninth to nose out Toledo, 7 to 6. Baldy, a rookie, tripled in the final frame to won the contest.

Milwaukee and Minneapolis are beginning to gain ground rapidly. Toledo, last year’s champs, continue to find the going rough and the Stengelites are in last place. The habit of blowing leads is growing on the Hens. Walter Mueller is the latest pastimer to join the hospital list of Betzel’s Indians.

It was the Giants’ third straight ’ victory over the Robins. The Giants made only three hits off Eliott and Doak, but two of them were home runs by Lindstrom and Jahn. The Robins made only four hits off Benton. Sam Jones and Garland Braxton, two former Yankee pitchers, checked the rush of the New York Yankees at six straight and broke the Senators’ eight-game losing streak as Washington beat the world champs, 9 to 5. Sam Gray won his fifth victory of the season and George Uhle lost his first, game in five starts when the St. Louis Browns won from the Cleveland Indians, 7 to 0.

Braves and Pirates Stage Prelude; Real Strength to Show. REDS DISPLAY POWER Cincy to Get Test in Giant Series. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 3.—Opening intersectional games in the two major leagues will be played Friday with the Boston Braves and Pittsburgh Pirates staging a prelude today. The eastern clubs in the National League will remain in the West for seventeen days, and the western clubs in the American League wili play in the East until May 21. The results of these games should throw considerable light on the real strength of those clubs which have displayed unexpected early season strength. Among these clubs are the Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Browns, Cincinanti Reds and Brooklyn Robins. It will be interesting to see how the Indians, who have won more games than any other team in the American League, fare against the Yankees and Athletics. Os the thirteen games won by the Indians, six were from the disorganized Detroit club and four from the none too strong White Sox. The Reds lead the National League in victories with eleven, having beaten the Cardinals five games, the Cubs four and the Pirates twice. Jack Hendricks may have gathered a lot stronger club than lie has been given credit for, and the opening series between the Giants and Reds may turn out to be one of the most important early season clashes in the National League. The Giants and Reds play four games opening Friday, and Cincinnati will have a fine chance to prove just how strong it is this season. Red Lucas, Carl Mays, Eppa Rixey and Adolfo Luque have been giving the Reds some of the best pitching in the National League, and is this staff, aided by Pete Donohue, providing he can regain his old form, which may carry the Reds far in the race.
