Bill answered the whispers with a loud “no,” and now he’s on a pedestal again. . . and laughing. : And the rumor factory has gone to work on Joe Cronin, Jimmy Wilson, Casey Stengel and Rogers Hornsby. . . . However, the last named probably will be hard to unseat. ... It is reported his contract calls for two more seasons.

reason why American tennis stars haven't been particularly successful in competition abroad for the last few years is because of the heavier ball used on European courts. - At any rate, Bitsy Grant, Atlanta ace, says that Yankee netters are 25 per cent less efficient on foreign layouts for that reason.... It’s about time the American netters got around to some kind of

an alibi.

A severe “charley horse” forced him out of action and Manager Killefer expressed the opinion the outfielder is through for the season. « . » Taylor “pulled” a tendon in his leg some time ago and aggravated it in a game the other night. . . . The injury spread to his groin and the only cure is complete rest. . . . Buddy Bates is filling in for Danny and doing a good job. ’ ” ” 2

So everything’s even. After the Hens got away to a 2-0 lead in the initial canto last night the Redskins were held off until the fourth before they circled the sacks. The contest was tied in that inning and in the seventh the locals took the lead, 3-2. Then three runs in the eighth put the game in the cooler for the Killeferites. Riddle and Siebert with three blows each paced the Tribe attack and Gil English, third sacker, filled the leading role for Toledo with a single, double and triple. The Hens were held to seven hits by Logan. Haney Gets Gate Manager Fred Haney was banished in the opening round for disputing a decision at second base. . On the Tribe side extra-base hits were walloped by Berger, a triple, and Fausett and Siebert, doubles. The Indians played errorless ball back of Logan. The victory last night was the Indians’ sixth over the Hens this season. Toledo has defeated the Tribesters nine times. The game tonight and the twin bill tomorrow will wind up the current home stand of the Redskins. After an off-day Monday, ‘he Hoosiers will start a swing of the eastern half of the circuit, beginning in Louisville on Tuesday.
