Indians Again Lead Sizzling A. A. Race
Jribe Scores Seven Runs in Last Three Rounds at Toledo. YDE TIGHT WITH HITS Tribe Home Saturday to Take on Senators. Bu Times Special TOLEDO, Ohio, June 22.—The Indians of Bruno Betzel went hog wild again in the late innings here Thursday, bumped off the Hens, 7 to 3, and regained the lead in the sizzling American Association race closely pursued by the Milwaukee Brewers. Emil Yde held Toledo to six hits to dispose of the enemy in the third of the series, while the Tribesmen combed the ball for twelve blows off Barnes and Huntzinger. Kansas City got bowled over by St. Paul Thursday and was unseated from the A. A. perch after holding the top for a day. In the meantime Milwaukee downed Minneapolis to stay on the heels of the Betzelites. Holke Smacks Triple It was a sparkling contest here Thursday and action was fast until the seventh, when the Indians rallied and erased the Toledo lead of 1 to 0 and put themselves out in front, 3 to 1. Holke’s triple was the high spot of this Tribe barrage. Until that frame, Jess Barnes baffled the visitors and held them scoreless. Indianapolis eked over another run in the eighth and in the Hen half of this round Pat Crawford cheered up the home rooters by crashing a home run with Rawlings on base, making the count 4 and 3 in the Hoosiers’ favor. The Indians felt they were being pushed and they greeted Huntzinger in the ninth with a single, two doubles and a triple, which with Spencer’s sacrifice, combined to score three more Tribe markers. Warstler Starts Rally Warstler started the ninth inning rally by beating out a hit, Spencer sacrificed, Yde doubled, Matthews tripled and Connolly doubled. The Indians deserve a medal for the finish they staged, for they scored seven runs in the last three innings. Manager Stengel of the Hens was made dizzy by the fighting Tribesmen’s late bombardment and he was mad enough to eat cement. Indians and Hens have met ten times this season, Toledo winning the first three tilts and Indianapolis the last seven. Is it any wonder old Casey is raving? The Indians had a peculiar second inning Thursday when they failed to score after loading the sacks with none out. Warstler forced Comorosky at the plate and Spencer hit into a double play. The lone Tribe error was a fumble by Haney in the third inning. Toledo got Its first run In the fourth on three hits, the scoring hit being a ! bounder off Haney's glove. Crawford’s home run in the eighth went j over the right field wall. Baseball Is funny. Haney collected six j hits during Wednesday’s double header and Thursday he went hitless in five efforts. Some of the Indian pitchers stand up at bat and swing on the “apple” with the same determination as regulars. Yde notched a timely double Thursday. Yds got the Hens out in one, two, three order in the ninth. He got ’em in order in four other Innings, also. Veteran fans of Toledo are amazed by the startling return batting form of j Wid Matthews, dashing center fielder ana ! lead-off man for the Indians. The rival nines were to bring their series to a close this afternoon and tonight the Indians will depart for Indianapolis and the Hens will Journey to Louisville. The Tribesmen will open a series at home with Columbus Saturday. There will be a double header in Indianapolis Sunday to permit the Tribe to meet the St. Louis Cardinals in an exhibition at Washington Park Tuesday, June 26. By regaining the A. A. lead, the Indians can boast of beinfe on top three times and there’s no disputing the fact now that Bruno Betzel is piloting the pennant dark horse. However, Milwaukee continues to rule as flag favorite.

Mickey Beats Ace Hudkins in Title Bout Nebraskan’s Foul Tactics Costly; Walker Retains His World’s Crown. Pit United Press CHICAGO, 111., June 22.—1f Ace Hudkins of Nebraska still retains his ambition to win the middleweight championship of the world, it would be well for that youth to make the acquaintance of the rules of the prize ring. The narrow margin by which Mickey Walker retained the title in his ten-round fight with Hudkins at Comiskey Park Thursday night might have been wiped out if the Nebraska Wildcat had made the slightest effort to conform to the ordinary decencies of fisticuffs. Challenger CanAes Fight The challenger carried the fight to the champion throughout every round, but for hitting low, backhanding, hitting on the break, butting and everything but biting, the Hke of Ace Hudkins has seldom been seen in a high class ring battle. Whatever sympathy Ace might have won by his courage and persistent attack, he forfeited by his unsportsmanlike tactics. The middleweight championship bout which promised so much in the way of action proved deadly dull for the most part, due to a tendency on the part of the Nebraskan to nestle his chin on Mickey's collar-bone and whale away unavailingly for the body and head with both hands. Ring Award The cloudburst which descended ’pon Comiskey Park toward the end o’ the fight deserves a place in the ai nals of fistiana along with the downpour at Philadelphia in 1926 when Jack Dempsey’s title was passing. The ring was literally awash, the fighter’s shuffling through dirty water ankle deep, while only those in the front rows of seats could see what was goinc on. s b Walker, while he proved disappointingly slow and willing to fight on the defensive, still proved himself a better man than Hudkins.
