It was necessary to use extreme measures to wage one battle and the teams finally wound up playing in sand and sawdust. It was a tough financial break for there was every indication that a capacity crowd was due to be present. The rain started at about 1 p. m. and never let up until about 3:30. The fact that there are other postponements to be played off with the Brewers led the Tribe officials to get in one tilt. When Milwaukee visits here for the third and last time there will be six games in four days. Bedore Doubles Scoring two markers in the second stanza Sunday, the home nine never was headed. Fred Bedore, playing first base in place of Manager McCann, who has a pulled tendon, doubled to register Narlesky after Angiey had singled, advanced on an out and. crossed the plate on Tavener’s error. The Indians went until the sixth before scoring again, Bedore checking in on his single, Burwell’s double and Montague’s squeeze bunt. Burwell was no mean performer. In addition to pitching great ball he poled two hits, batting in two runs, enough to win. Angiey Connects Caldwell, Brewer starting hurler, was knocked out of the box in the seventh when the Indians rallied again and counted three times. Nelson took up the burden and got thumped in the eighth. After one out Walker doubled, Koenecke walked and Angiey lifted the horsehide out of the park. Sigafoos followed with a double, but was erased in a two-play killing when Narlesky lined to Bloxsom at third. Milwaukee was blanked for seven innings. In the eighth a slow roller that went as a hit and two singles put over the Brewers’ lone marker. Art Shires was held hitless and left town with only three hits in four games. He was in fine spirits, however, and entertained the crowd during the long rain wait by wrestling with Garland Buckeye and by doing a conversational parade of the park
