For Pleasant Evening: Blues

Kansas City Advances To 2d Place on Indians

By EDDIE ASH “Thanks for the lift,” said the Kansas City Blues to the Indianapolis Indians last night after doinig the Leaping Lena act by crushing the home boys twice and advancing from fourth to second

place in the league race.

And that about covers the situation. The Redskins were helpless and in serving as a springboard for the invaders, they did a splendid job. The Blues walloped the Tribesters in the seven-inning twilight tilt, 7 to 2, and in the night game it was a nightmare, 11 to 0. In Manager Killefer’'s book the Blues were supposed to be weak against southpaw pitching and the Tribe chieftain started Lefty Lloyd Johnson in the first fracas and Lefty Bob Logan in the second. But the Kawtown team had other ideas. Skipper Bill Meyer took care of the southpaw weakness recently by reorganizing his club, and when the Blues trotted out on the Perry Stadium greensward yesterday eight righthanded swingers were in the lineup, including the pitcher, Mike Chartak was the lone lefthanded batter and he held up his end by getting five hits in the two contests.

Slaughter Both Southpaws

The righthanded array knocked Johnson out of the box in the second inning of the twilighter and in the night tilt Logan was sent to the showers in the sixth after the Blues bumped him for 13 blows. Yes, it was a different gang of Blues. On the Tribesters’ last visit to Kansas City they won four out of five, but since the Blues belong to the New York Yankee chain they velled for help and got it. It was a long, hard evening for 2300 faithful fans. The first shock was delivered in the second inning of the twilighters when the Blues splurged for six runs on five hits, a hit batsman and a walk. Johnson suffered a drubbing before relieved by Ben Wade. The visitors boosted their run total to seven in the fourth and then decided it was sufficient behind Charlie Wensloff's pitching. Lakeman Comes Through

Both teams collected nine hits but the Indians were out of luck in bunching their safeties, scoring in the second and fifth. Al Lakeman paced the home attack with two doubles and a single. That six-run second frame was too much for the Hoosiers to swallow and they never got going in a big way. In the night battle it was no contest for the fans. The Blues got after Logan in the second canto and there was nothing he could do about it. The visitors scored one run in the second, one in the third, two in the fourth, two in the fifth and three in the sixth, when he was relieved by Johnson who started the first game. And just to prolongs the agony the Blues scored in the seventh and eighth. Milo Candini, on the Kansas City |g slab, had the Indians under his thumb and held them to six hits in achieving the shutout. He fanned seven and always managed to retire the first hitter ‘in every inning.

Collect 20 Hits

Twenty hits rolled off the Blues’ bats and in the late innings Manager Meyer used a couple of replacements when Mills and Al Glossop complained of the stifling heat. Johnny Pasek, Tribe catcher, aiso got too much heat and was relieved by Lakeman in the fifth. And there was a heated argument in the fourth inning hetween Skipper Killefer and Umpire Genshlea. They talked chin-to-chin until the Umps called a halt and banished the Tribe leader. But the Blues kept rolling. The series finale will be played tonight at 8:30 and tomorrow the [Milwaukee Brewers will unpack their {bats at Perry Stadium for a twogame series. Thursday's game will be sponsored by the Indianapolis | Traffic Club as a benefit for underprivileged children. | Friday is an open date for the Indians and on Saturday they will take off on their last long road trip of the season.

Timberman Is Present Champ And Favorite

Play Starts at Speedway Under Gray Skies

Under gray skies that threatened to spill showers at any time, a field of more than 100 set out at Speedway today on a 72-hole golf journey for the Indiana Open Champion-

ship. The first of the early birds were away shortly after a breakfast on today’s 18 holes, and the rest of the professional and amateur contestants departed by threes at 10-minute intervals. Defending champion Wayne Time herman of Meridian Hills, regarded as a strong favorite to keep the crown, teed off shortly before noon in the company of Johnny Watson, South Bend professional, and Bob Smith, hometown amateur. Other professionals tabbed as dangerous contenders were Bob Hamilton of Evansville, Bud Williamson of Ft. Wayne, Bob Simmons of Kokomo and Frank Champ of Bedford.

Big Names

The amateur entry list included such names as Henry Timbrook, Columbus’ state amateur champion; Clark Espie of Hillcrest, runnerup in the same tournament; Hank Koe wal, the Indianapolis District titlee holder, and Charles Harter, Coffin’s careful shotmaker. After today's round, the boys will go another 18 holes tomorrow and 36 holes on Thursday. A pro-amateur tournament dee signed to serve as a bracer for the Open, ended in a three-way tie for first place, with a three-hole playoff halted by darkness failing to break, the deadlock.

Resume Play

The teams of Timberman and John Williams of Meridian Hills, Bob Grant, Kokomo pro and Ike Cummings of the Indianapolis Country Club, and Bill Heinlein, Noblesville pro and Paul Sparks of Speedway—which were deadlocked with best balls of 68—were to ree sume the playoff after today’s tour nament competition. Prize money of $210 is at stake. Behind these leaders, tied at 69, were the combinations John Watson. South Bend pro, and Bob Walker, South Bend amateur; Sime mons of Kokomo and Don Rink of Speedway; and Bud Williamson

with a two-under-par 142,

and Glenn Miller of Ft, Wayne.
