The Millers lost the league lead vesterday when they were shut out by Johnny Chambers of the Columbus Red Birds and some bitter battles are anticipated as the Bushmen strive to achieve a comeback. The Redskins are scheduled here through Sunday, after which they will go to St. Paul for the heaviest

series of the year consisting of seven |

games in four days and calling for three consecutive double-headers. The Hoosiers, in fifth place, are 62 games back of the Columbus pacesetters. The Tribesters were idle vesterday and are in fairly good shape to meet stiff competition. The Millers have won eight games from the Killeferites and the Tribesters have captured five during the season's competition with the Bushmen. Probable pitchers in the series opener are Bob Logan for the Tribe and Jim Henry for FE MIBRCADDUS.
