INDIANS AND COLONELS MIX IN SERIES FINALE TODAY
Tribe Wins Both Tilts in Monday Twin Bill Morrell Shades Penner, 2 to 1, and Young Thomas Blanks Louisville With Two Hits in Labor Day Nightcap; Hoosiers Depart on Trip Tonight. BY EDDIE ASH Out in front in the inaugural series in new Perry stadium, three games to one, the Indians will tackle the Louisville Colonels in the windup battle this afternoon at 3 p. m. The Tribesmen will depart for-Co-lumbus tonight and will play in enemy territory until Sept. 21. Two scries remain on the new park schedule, both late in the month, with the Red Birds and Toledo Hens, the A. A. curtain falling on Sunday, Sept. 27. Owner Norman Perry will offer a free gate for women today, the first “ladies’ day" at the $350,000 stadium. Brilliant pitching featured the double-header Monday, the Indians grabbing both tilts, 2 to 1, and 1 to 0. Willard Morrell and Ken Penner waged a tight struggle in the first contest, each giving up only four hits, and in the second conflict young Bill Thomas, rookie righthander from Oklahoma City, made his debut as an Indian by blanking the Kentuckians with two hits, one being, a fly single that Fitzgerald lost in the aun.
Thomas is 24 years old and this Is his fourth season in league ball. He won seventeen and lost fifteen in the Western League with the second division Oklahoma City team. The youngster hurled the sphere in baffling fashion Monday and in six of the nine innings only three visitors faced him. Ganzel got the first safety against him in the fifth and in the seventh, Weinert was credited with a single when his drive to center went safe us the sun blinded Fitzgerald. No walks were issued by Thomas and he hit one batter, Layne, in the initial stanza. 7,000 Well Entertained A crowd of 7,000 turned out for the Labor day twin attraction and received the best double-header treat of the season. Morrell held the visitors hitless until Layne beat out a bunt after two down in the sixth. It was just beyond the reach of Morrell and too close in for Sigafoos. Morrell was on the point of making the catch when he turned an ankle and was compelled to let the ball go as a hit. He stayed in the game, however, and nosed in with a close verdict. With the score knotted at 1 and 1 in the ninth, Fred Bedore tripled to right center and was knocked cold as he slid into third when the throw-in clipped him on the head. Manager McCann took Fred’s place on the lines and Penner gave intentional passes to both Walker and Koenecke, filling the sacks. Sigafoos Wins Race On Angley’s grounder McCann was forced at the plate, Olivares to Shea, and Fitzgerald popped to Ganzel. It was a display of great pitching by Penner. Sigafoos sent a hard-to-handle ground drive at Branom, taking the first sacker away from the bag, and Umpire Rue ruled Sigafoos safe as Branom threw to Penner, who covered the base after a sprint from the mound. It was a close play, so close in fact that Penner wound up and threw the sphere at the umpire. It went as a hit for Sigaloos and scored Walker with the winning run. Riddle Hits Double The second encounter was minus any scoring until the seventh as Phil Weinert, the southpaw veteran moundsman, fought out a duel with the rookie Thomas. Johnny Riddle led off in the Tribe half of the seventh with a wallop good for two cushions, and Thomas had a part in the scoring of the game’s lone run. He sacrificed and Ganzel got crossed up covering third and let Weincrt’s . throw go through him, Riddle scoring and Thomas reaching second. Thomas moved to third on Goldman’s sacrifice, where he was left. Nachand made a long run and fine catch on McCann’s foul, Rosenberg was given an intentional pass and Koenecke fanned. No Colonels reached base against Thomas in the last three innings.

It was truly a Hagen day at Meridian Hills, Monday. Sir Walter gave the large gallery that turned out to see him, a complete demonstration of ,Hagen. The only thing that went amiss was the fact that he didn’t win, his best being a tie. But as for the exhibition, it was all that the most critical could have desired. Showing up a full hour late, the gallery received a touch of famed Hagen “stand up” they have read about for years. As for the outcome of the match. Hagen and Neal Mclntyre, Indiana open champion and pro at Highland, each fired an individual 73 over the par 71 layout. Teamed with Dick Nelson, Meridian Hills pro, Mclntyre’s 73 enabled them to defeat Hagen and Roy Smith, Avalon pro, in a best ball match, 3 up and 2 to play.

Bill Moran has his St. Philip No. 1 loop readv for the take-off tonight at the club' alleys. The Knights of Columbus have entered a fast club in this loop to give battle to last year’s champion, Michaelis Builders, who will be trying to repeat. The Grotto League will start its season at the Pritchett Recreation, moving to the East Maryland street drives for this year's play. Hank Shriver, member of the Bader Coffee team, moved into the limelight during the first week’s play by nosing out Dan Hornbeck for high single game, 279 to 278. Jess Pritchett’s small 400 count in the opening night's play set the railbirds to singing his passing as the best in the city. Our advice is to defer his demise, for as soon as he gets in shape the 600 counts will be clicking steadily again. The Firty-fourth Street Merchants certainly deserve credit for their wonderful performance, their 2,991 count being betten than 100 pins over the Coca Cola team who landed second on 2,859.

Bruins Order Wilson Out of Clubhouse By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. B.—Hack Wilson, Chicago Cubs’ outfielder, suspended for the remainder of the season, had nothing to do today except remove his personal belongings from the clubhouse, under orders which the Cubs issued in a final gesture of renunciation. Wilson declared that he was “enjoying the vacation," but added somewhat penitently that “maybe I popped off a bit too much last Saturday.’’ He referred to an incident aboard the train in which the Cubs were returning from Cincinnati. This, it was learned, was the “straw" that caused the often-penalized player’s dismissal. Wilson was upbraiding three baseball writers for “riding" him when pitcher Pat Malone walked through the coach. Malone suddenly attacked two of the writers. Cubs’ officials accused Wilson of inciting him. Malone was fined SSOO at the same time Wilson was suspended.
