BISON SERIES ENDS TRIBE TRAINING

3 Tilts Left Before League Race Starts Indians Repeat Over Toronto for Eleventh Win of Spring; Burwell Works Seven Innings and Daney Finishes; Walker Launches Rally. BY EDDIE ASH Entering the last spring training stretch before the grand championship opening with St. Paul Tuesday, Johnny Corriden's Indians were to tackle anew exhibition opponent today in the Buffalo Bisons of the International League. The afternoon contest lifts the lid on a threegame series that will end Sunday and on Monday the Tribesmen will take a final light drill, rehearse “signs' 1 and plays and then await the bell that will send them on the first step of the 168 trail in the American Association.

The series with the Maple Leafs of Toronto closed Thursday and the Tribe made a sweep of it, winning the finale, 5 to 3, with Bill Burwell going seven innings, on the home mound. He gave up only five hits over that stretch and retired to save and rest his arm for the important assignment Tuesday. The atmosphere turned cool and there was a strong wind during the late afternoon and Bill concluded it would be wise to let Lee Daney finish out the struggle. Burwell baffled the Leafs for six rounds, allowing two hits, one of the scratch variety, but in the seventh a single and two doubles gave the visitors two runs. Daney took up the Tribe hurling in the eighth and two hits and a wild throw by Angley supplied Toronto with a run in that stanza. Lee got the side out in order in the ninth. Art Smith, Toronto flinger, went the route and was no easy problem for the Corridenites. He exhibited a good change of pace and with better support might have blasted

j the Tribe's victory streak. Two ! errors by shortstop Rogell in the i second inning proved costly and Smith weakened momentarily and | passed two batters, forcing in a run and bringing up Emmett Mc- | Cann who swatted in two more with a timely single. In the fifth Walker’s double, Koeneke's single and steal, and Barnhart’s safety got the Indians another pair of markers which proved to be the winning runs. The Thursday victory increased the Tribe winning streak to seven, for a total of eleven wins in thirteen starts this spring. It’s a marvelous record and proves Pilot Corriden has succeeded in keeping the pastimers hustling and on their toes. The Buffalo Bisons, here today, blanked the Louisville Colonels, Thursday, 4 to 0. An old local favorite with the Bisons is outfielder Ralph Shinners, whom the Indians developed and sold to the New York Giants years ago. Catcher Red Munn also is a former Indian.
