Redskins Start Rebuilding For 1939; Team on Road Without Schalk.
Leo Miller, general manager of the Indianapolis Indians, took the first step today toward rebuilding the team for 1939 when he arranged for the conditional purchase of infielder Henry Majeski of the Birmingham ‘Barons of the Southern Association. The player will report to the Redsking in the spring and will be bought outright if he performs up to Manager Ray Schalk’s standard. He is the second sacker at Birmingham and so far this season has belted the ball at a .320 clip and batted in 71 runs. Majeski’'s extra-base hit production includes 32 doubles, 11 triples and four home runs. He 1s 22 years old, stands 5 feet 9 inches, weighs 174 pounds and bats right-handed. His home is at Staten Island, N. Y. In other years Majeski batted .307 for Eau Claire, Northern League, in 1935; .365 for the same club in 1936, and .345 for Moline, Three-I League, in 1937. + Three Tilts in Toledo After defeating the Columbus Red Birds, 6 to 5, in the series finale at Perry Stadium last night, the Indians shoved off for Toledo early today to battle the Mud Hens in a double-header at Swayne Field tonight. : : A single tilt is to be played in Toledo tomorrow, afier which the Tribesters will return home to meet Louisville in a twin bill on Sunday afternoon and in two games Monday night. - The Indians are one game back of the fourth-place Millers and one game ahead of the sixth-place Mud Hens. tes 5 Manager Schalk did not make the trip to Toledo with the team and Coach Wes Griffin was in charge. The Tribe chieftain was the weather last night with an infection of the throat and was advised to remain at home. Paul Epperly had a tough time weathering the storm last night and saw a four-run lead fade out when Eddie Morgan of the Birds walloped the ball out of the park with the bases loaded in the eighth. The Birds tallied. once before Morgan hit the homer and when the Indians took their turn in the eighth the visitors were ahead, 5 to 4. i Chapman Delivers Steve Mesner walked after one out and Bill Baker doubled to right, | Mesner pulling up at third. On Milton Galaizer’s grounder to Art Garibaldi, Mesner was erased at the plate. Galatzer then stole second and rode home with Baker on Pete Chapman's Texas leaguer to short right eenter. PRE oi Epperly steadied down in the ninth and finished the winner. Columbus employed three hurlers, ‘Andrews, Thompkins and Lynn, and the second named was the loser. Epperly pitched shutout ball for seven innings, but "in the eighth, after one down, he lost control and walked Ankenman. Marrow singled and Fisher batter for Andrews and singled, scoring Ankenman. King drew a pass, filling the bases, and Morgan smacked a four-master. Epperly pulled himself together and stopped the rally. Chapman got three hits for the Indians and batted in four of their six runs. Epperly was given good support and two running catches by Andy Pilney helped check the Red
Eo Big League Trial For Bill Baker
‘The conditional sale of Bill Baker, Tribe catcher, to the Chicago Cubs, was announced late yesterday by General Manager Leo’ Miller. The 25-year-old backstop is to report to the Bruihs in the spring for a tryout. He is batting .307 for the Indians and was purchased from the Yankee chain in April. Baker played with Oakland last year. The big fellow celebrated his sale by getting two hits last right. He also worked a good game behind the bat and threw out the only Red Bird who attempted to steal.

Over Losing 2.
McCarthy Reveals He Is Out To Set Record; Pirates Head for Flag.
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—Can you imagine a baseball manager worrying with a 13-game lead in the pennant race and only 30 games to go? Well, that’s what Joseph Vincent McCarthy, dugout genius of the New York Yankees, was doing today. : He isn’t fretting over the slight possibility that the Yanks could blow the pennant, but over lost opportunities of the past two days to achieve one of his pet ambitions. When the Yanks dropped two straight to the Tigers and had their prodigious lead clipped from 15 to 13 games, they put a small crimper in McCarthy's big aspiration to win the pennant by more than 19’: games ahead to eclipse by halt a game the previous record set by Miller Huggins’ great Yankee team of 1927. The major league record for the widest victorious margin is 27% games, set by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1902 National League rage. With the second-place Boston Red Sox moving into Yankee Stadium today the Yanks get a fresh opportunity to satisfy McCarthy's keen yen. One of Joe’s motives is to increase the prestige of the 1938 Yankees in their comparisons with great teams of the past. Already the chatter in the press box draws parallels between this Yankee aggregation and the Yanks of 1927, the Athletics of 1929 and ’30, the Yanks of 1923, and other outstanding clubs. Tigers Win Again With three Yankee regulars— Selkirk, Rolfe and Dickey—nursing injuries, the world champions fell before the Tigers again yesterday, 6-3. It was a rather humiliating defeat inasmuch as relief pitcher George Coffman, who hadn’t started a game this year, shackled the Yankee thunder until the ninth. Nervous over his approaching conquest Coffman grew wild and Harry Eisenstat ha dto rescue him. Monte Pearson, who had won 10 straight and pitched. a no-hit, norun game in his last’ start, was thumped for 10 hits and his first defeat since June 22. One bright ray for the Yankees was the continued slugging of young Tommy Henrich, who belted homer No. 21, his seventh in six days. The Boston Red Sox beat Buck Newsom and the St. Louis Browns, 5-3. Cleveland shellacked the Ath-< letics, 11-4, as Bob Feller won No. 13. Chicago's White Sox lambasted Washington, 11-6, and their manager, Jimmy Dykes; announced he would retire as an aetive player at the close of the season. i Pittsburgh rolled on toward the National League pennant by blanking the New York Giants, 6-0, for a seven-game. lead. The defeat dumped the New York Giants into fourth place. Bob Klinger, who was out nine days with an ailing arm, held the fading Giants to seven hits to score his ninth victory. The brothers Waner made six of the Pirates’ 12 hits. : The Chicago Cubs beat the Bosfon Bees, 4-2, and moved into a tie with the idle Cincinnati Reds for second place. Clay Bryant hung up win No. 14. In the other National League game the Cardinals won from the Phillies, 6-5. It was the fourth straight day they have scored the winning tally in the final inning. ;
