CRONIES IN TRIBE'S CLUBHOUSE
ECKHARDT,
TAYLOR, FLOWERS
Ps
ECKHARDT and Danny Taylor, Indianapolis out-
fielders, were born on the same day, month and year « « + Dec. 23,1903. . . . And both were obtained from Brooklyn in the same deal. . . . The Johnny Cooney transaction. ... '- Eckhardt, Taylor and Jake Flowers are clubhouse cronies. Oscar smokes a big black pipe during the recreation
‘hours. . . . He usually talks
of ranch life in Texas while
Taylor counters with Pennsylvania coal mine chatter. . . . Flowers is content to bear down on the subject of socking
home runs in the Twin Cities.
The editor's horn: This corner picked Joe Louis to win
in an early round. . . . And the echo:
But you didn’t pick
Schmeling! . . . While the heat blisters it’s difficult to kick up much enthusiasm over the coming football season. . , . Imagine a guy wrapped up in a raccoon coat now! Ed Krause, former Notre Dame tackle and captain of the first All-Star team in 1934, has added 20 pounds since
leaving the old campus.

streak. . .

. But that
. was last year. ... Curt Davis, Cub pitcher, is in a Chicago hospital for
observation.
.. « He is suffering from a stomach disorder.
Comparing Joe Louis to Jack Dempsey, Jack Sharkey said that Dempsey hit harder than the Detroit Bomber, but that Louis hurts more
than the old Manassa Mauler.
“Joe hurts more because he hits so much faster,” Sharkey said yesterday. “His blows come so rapidly they are bewildering, and before you know what's happening, you're on the floor.”
” ” ” . Manager Zwilling of the K. C.
Blues and Pitcher Hal Smith have buried the hatchet. . . . Some time ago Zwilling was compelled to prove who was boss on that club by taking the big pitcher apart under the grandstand. . . . Smith had fussed with his catcher while on the mound, ” ” ” HE Joe Louis-Jack Sharkey pictures will go on the screen locally at the Circle Theater starting tomorrow. . . . The fracas didn’t last long, but it proved that Louis is still a bomber when he’s in shape and out in front. The film version of the fight will give you an idea of the amount of punishment absorbed by the ex-champ {rom Boston. The film is of 17 minutes duration, showing the bout at regulation speed and also parts in slow motion. ” ” ” that the best the Kansas City Blues can do is threaten the American Association
leaders. The third-place Blues were |.
walloped twice last night by secondplace St. Paul. With Milwaukee sailing along in front, St. Paul stopped Kansas City by squaring a series with 5-2 and 6-3 victories. Wilwaukee breezed through the Minneapolis Millers, 7 to 2, using Joe Heving, who allowed only five hits. York of the Brewers smacked a home run.

NSWER to Fan: Indianapolis defeated Lou Fette of the Saints three times this season. And he downed the Indians three times. The Hoosiers won 43 games and lost 45 in battles with the four first-divi-sion clubs. The Redskins paced the eastern contingent.

Tribe Makes Big Gain in Bird Series
Indians Drive for Place in Playoffs; Capture” Double-Header.
Making it three out of four from the Red Birds, the Indians today were within two games of the first division and a chance in the postseason playofls. One more tilt remains with Columbus and it will be played under the lights tonight, after which Fred Haney’s Toledo Mud Hens will appear on the local scene for a round of battles starting tomorrow evening. The series with the Hens calls for four struggles in three days, winding up with a double-header on Sunday afternoon. The Hoosiers grabbed both ends of the twin bill yesterday, 2 to 1, and 10 to 8. In the twilight affair
a fancy mound duel and the contest was decided in the last inning when all scores were chalked. Riddle Delivers
Columbus broke the 0-0 deadlock when two doubles produced a tally
work. Singles by Fausett and Eckhardt and an error in the outfield by Cullop accounted for the tying marker and set the stage with none out. Ryba dished out intentional passes to Taylor and Siebert to fill the sacks and Riddle delivered a single in the pinch to win the game. - In the night tilt Bolen and Nelson were the starting pitchers, and the Redskins jumped off to a 6-0 lead in the opening frame. The game developed into a slugfest and at one time the Birds pulled within one run of the Indians’ total. Bolen was knocked out in the seventh and Tom Gallivan went in and put on the brakes. The Birds used Nelson, Macon and Fisher on the rubber and also employed three pinch hitters in an effort to obtain an even break.
Successive Home Runs
Winsett ,and Cullop hit successive home runs off Bolen in the seventh frame to supply the batting feature. It was Winsett’s forty-fifth roundtripper of the season. Longest Tribe drive was a triple to the flag pole in center by Oscar Eckhardt in the initial round. Bolen struck out the first three men to face him in the night contest and rolled up eight strikeouts in the first four innings. However, he issued three passes in the second
The veteran left-hander looked the part of an easy winner for the first six rounds. Then the heat got him and when the Birds cut loose in the seventh the big fellow was chased to cover. Bolen was credited with the victory, however. He worked six and one-third innings, the Indians were leading when he retired and the Birds trailed the rest of the distance. The Indians collected seven hits in the 2-1 game and 13 in the 10-8 triumph. Columbus hit totals were six and 13. Bud Tinning is slated to pitch for the .Redskins tonight and Tony Freitas for Columbus.
