Thursday. 6 to 4. A win for the Tribe at Columbus today, therefore, will keep the Betzelites in second position. Smith, Harris and McMullen poled home runs for the Minneapolis swatters and the veteran Jimmy Zinn took a bad beating, 8 to 1. Shortstop Chatham got three doubles for the Blues, but Ad Liska on the Miller mound tightened in the danger spots.

Liska turned in his seventeenth pitching triumph of the year. Spencer Harris raised him home run total to thirty-two. The small Miller park is Harris’ happy hunting ground. Hopkins, who finished on the mound for the Sainst against Milwaukee Thursday, struck out five of six batters who faced him and ended the contest by fielding Bennett’s grounder. He got credit for the St. Paul victory. It was the best display of relief hurling in the league for the year. It was a heart-breaking defeat for the Brewers because they held a lead of 4 to 0 the first four innings. All .eastern A. A. teams' were idle Thursday. No club has been able to stop the Millers recently. Kansas City remains in Minneapolis through Sunday, after which Milwaukee will try to give the Kelley crew a few obstacles. It is evident that unless Milwaukee halts the Millers there’s not going to be any halting. The Columbus Senators recently signed an infielder by the name of Tashijan. He once captained the University of Pennsylvania nine. That name Tashijan sounds Persian. Columbus also has Pitcher Jablonowski on its staff. He was sent down by the Cincy Reds.
