As Tribe Repeats Over A. A. Champions.
By United Press MILWAUKEE, June 11.-=The galloping Indians were at the .500 mark today and in the first division of the A. A. race as a result of an outburst of consistent hitting that has lifted the |Redskins ‘rom last place to within three and one-half games of the No. 1 position. Manager Killefer's pastimers chalked up their ninth road victory here ldst night under the lights at Borchert Field as the champion Brewers were swamped, 11-4. It was the sedond straight for the Hoosiers over the Milwaukee club and the rivals are to meet again tonight. Oscar Eckhardt, with two doubles and three singles, paced the Tribe attack last night and George Archie also was a prominent figure at the {plate with four singles. Collect 19 Blows The Indians rolled: uy 19 hlows and hammered both Blaeholder and Pressnell to all corners of the park. Vance Page, on the Tribe mound, kept nine hits fairly well scattered and had the Brewers subdued until the ninth when he eased up behind a safe lead. : The Indians lost no time in launching their scoring spree and put over two runs in the opening round. In the third they rallied again for a cluster of four markers, in the nfth it was two, the eighth the same, and then closed out the ninth with a single tally. Milwaukee scored one marker in the second, one in the fourth and two in the final stanza. Storti and Keltner bagged home runs for the Brewers.

Streamlined Golf Clubs
Resul t of
‘Screaming’
By FREDERICK 0. OTHMAN \ United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 11.—Science tapped the American golfer on the shoulder today and presented him with the ultimate implement potent for pounding the pellet around the pasture.
A golf club, huh? Better thane
than that, way better; it is a tear= drop golf club, stream-lined and designed to swing through the air with the greatest of ease, and guaranteed to give the ball such a wallop as no ball ever had before.
This development in dynamic golf is the invention of Sylvan J. Crooker, who plays at Leesburg, Va., but doesn’t grieve over the size of his score, he takes steps. Like all other golfers everywhere, Crooker knew in the beginning that there was nothing wrong with his playing. His form was perfect. His follow-through he’d swing his club, it would whistle like a banshee, that showed the way he hit. The trouble with his score, he divined, must necessarily be in his tools. First, he considered the balls, which he bought (and lost) by the dozen. These little white spheroids seemed to be perfect. Doped with hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and dynamite (for all he knew) they seemed to have all the pep that any golfer could desire. Then he considered clubs, which he owned in profusion. He had nihlicks and spoons and knives and forks and whatnot, some with wooden shafts and some with spun platinum (it seemed like when he paid for em.) J Some of these shafts were rigid like a zep. Some were flexible like a snake. Some had square heads, some round, and some convoluted like a non-skid tire. Crooker tried ‘them all and he tried them some
was superb, when:
more, until his arms were sore. ! Something, somewhere, was wrong. | - What could it be? Crooker tried | listening to his clubs scream as they cut the air. The noise they made was perfect, according to zl the golf books. : It was while pondering this phenomenon one hot afternoon on the seventh tee, that his inspiration, like a flash, came to him. The bocks were wrong! Golf clubs oughtn’t to do any screaming! This unnecessary racket meant that energy, which should have been imparted to the ball, was being wasted. The rest was simple, Crooker merely built a streamlined golf club, the head of which is in the shape of a falling tear. If is big in front and tapers off in the rear so that it goes through the air with the minimum of whistle —and resistance. Ordinarily, whistling golf clubs travel at the rate of around 100! miles an hour when they hit the | ball. Crooker’s streamlined club travels maybe 110 miles.
FIREMEN TO TRAVEL, The Firemen's team will meet at 12 noon at headquarters Sunday to travel to Greenwood for their afternoon game with Greenwood. In the local team’s infield will be Schmid,
Vogel, Barkerville and Seigfried. . A large delegation of rooters will
follow the firemen to Greenwood.

Cox Eager to
Earn Bout
~~ With King of Welters
