Aug. 31.—1 t was an even break at Swayne field Wednesday when the Indians and Hens closed the series with a doubleheader.

Jim Turner was pounded hard by Steve O'Neill's men in the windup struggle. Frank Sigafoos was the star of the opener when he batted in three of the Hoosiers' four markers. He got a single and double. The Tribesmen collected nine blows off Craghead, but in the last fracas they faced Thornton Lee. southpaw, and the tall hurler kept eight Hoosier hits scattered. Two Trosky Homers Hal Trosky of the Hens poled a home run in each game and boosted his total for the season to thirty. The big first sacker has become an idol with the customers at Swayne field. The Wednesday first fray was a thriller and the score w’as knotted at one and one when the ninth was reached. In that frame the Indians launched a rally good for three runs on hits by Angley, Daglia, Layne, a sacrifice by Dudley Lee and a double by Sigafoos. Six Runs in First The Hens got after Turner in the opening stanza of the last game and put the contest on ice at once by chalking up six runs.

Today he admits that time has come. ' The'legs won't stand it,” Ruth explained. "I might as well hang up the spikes, I'm through.’ Only one more month for the king!

Os course, the crack of his mighty bat will not be entirely silenced. The Babe will return at intervals to pound out a long one for the bleachers to roar over.
