Indians and Millers Nose and Nose, With Eleven Games to Play

Tribe Catches Kels as Yde Puzzles Senators Thursday; Koenecke Poles Homer; Team Leaves Tonight. BY EDDIE ASH Somebody’s got to win! Eleven games to go and the American Association gonfalon race is even up, with Indians and Millers sharing the pacemaking berth. Emil Yde turned back the Senators here Thursday, 6 to 2, while Ermie Wingard of the Brewers beat the Minneapolis outfit, 3 to 1, thereby pushing the Hoosiers right up with the Kelleyites, each with 91 games won and 66 lost.

And today the Tribesmen were to battle Columbus again while Minneapolis invaded Kansas City. In the meantime Milwaukee, in third place and struggling to creep up, returned home to tackle the Saints. Brewers Home to Stay The Brewers, five games behind, are home to stay and for that reason they figure they have an outside chance. Bruno Betzel’s flag aspiring brigade departs for Toledo tonight to be gone until next Thursday. Five tilts will be staged with the Hens in Toiedo and five here, the season closing one week from Sunday. Some fan encouragement might go a long way, and this being “ladies’ day” the club officials were expecting to see a bulge in Washington Park attendance. The battle here Thursday was filled with remarkable fielding feats and opportune hitting. Moreover, Emil Yde propelled the sphere in deceptive style and blew himself to three hits for a perfect batting record. Yde Prominent Figure Emil started one rally, took part in another and scored twice in addition to stealing second. He was a prominent figure in the success of the home pastimers, their third victory in the series. Shortstop Warstler had the fans daffy with his sensational fielding, and he took the heart out of the Columbus attack by coming up with unbelievable stops. Dick Burrus’ handling of bad throws also thrilled the rooters, and a catch by Blenkiron in the seventh

If If Pet. Win Lose i Indians 580 .582 .576 Millers 580 .582 .576 Brewers 548 .551 .544 Saints t 532 .535 .528 inning was another feat that caused much commotion in the stands. Jablownowski, Columbus righthander, worried the Betzels for four innings and the locals fought until the fifth before tying the count at one and one, when Warstler scored Burrus after Dick doubled. In the sixth singles by Yde, Haney and Koenecke delivered a run and put the Tribe in the lead, which they held. Three singles and two stolen bases got the locals three markers in the seventh and in the eighth Koenecke crashed a homer to left center with the bases unoccupied. The Thursday contest was worth anybody’s money for the Tribe pastimers played heads-up baseball and grasped every opening besides eating up everything reachable in the field, When the Indians "went to town” In the seventh Matthews socked in two runs with a drive that Christensen tried to nail bv a diving catch. But the ball beat Christie to the ground, took a short hop and then rolled away. Matthews, Yde and Blenkiron got away wfth thefts of second. Len Koenecke got a single in addition to his circuit swat. Christensen was the author of some brilliant catches in the middle pasture. Most fans in these parts thought Brewers and Millers were to mix in a double-header Thursday, because of their gostponement Wednesday, but 'twasn’t so. luring July, when need was felt for a double-header, to boost attendance, the Kels and Brewers plucked a game from this week's series and played it off. Therefore. their Thursday tilt was Wednesday’s washed out affair. Moving a game up a couple of months is something out of the ordinary in Class AA ball. Women will be admitted free at Washington Park today, but the free gate for children is "off" until next summer. School is in session. Three umpires officiated at the ball yard Thursday, Connolly. Shannon and Slavin. It was a nervous ninth for Indians and fans. After one out Ferrell batted for McNulty and singled. Cuccinello sent a liner over Warstler’s head that the lad broke down by leaping high. Ferrell stopping at second. Horn beat out a hit over second, filling the bases. Geygan forced Horn. Ferrell scoring. Boone skied to Matthews to end the game. Cuccinello showed well at second for Columbus and got one hit. Koenecke caught a low liner off Gevgan’s bat in the fourth. Lute Boone was the only Senator to get two hits off the lefthanded slants of Yde. McNulty’s triple in the sixth was a solid smack to deep right center. It came after tv'o down and he was left.

Dartmouth Boss —and His Boss

/mm-wm it . \

PICTURES of prominent football coaches are common on newspaper pages during the fall season when they are commanding squads of young hopefuls who want to do or die for dear old Alma Mater. But few pictures are shown of the bosses of the football bosses. In the above picture the boss of the big boss of Dartmouth football is shown. She is Mrs. Jesse Hawley, wife of one of the most successful coaches in the country. From the stern look on the face of the coach the boss may have just asked him for anew fall wardrobe.

Keech Adds to Total in Pilots’ Race Ray Virtually Clinches Second Place Honors in A. A. A. Contest. BY NORMAN E.

A. A. driving championship. Louis Meyer, the South Gate, Cal., youth who jumped into fame at Indianapolis, is waging a strenuous campaign on the nation’s speed tracks and undoubtedly would have added to his total but for an unfortunate accident. Meyer’s car crashed into that of Charlie Ganung on the 25th lap when Ganung hit the inside fence and caromed off into the path of Meyer’s Stutz.
