Our Indians Have a 10-Run Inning in Gaining Split

Times Special MILWAUKEE, Aug. 25—The Indianapolis Indians are plagued by a lot of faults but they have one distinction that cannot be over-

looked. They scored 10 runs in one |

inning here yesterday in a game that resembled sandlot baseball. Oh, yes, the Redskins won that one, a seven-inning affair by agreement, 12 to 9, after the lowly Brewers annexed the first half of the double-header, also a dizzy affair, S101 Ray Starr was knocked out of the Tribe box in the second inning of the first tilt and Glen Fletcher took up thé toil and was charged with the defeat. The Hoosiers got off to a four-run first inning but their pitching was feeble and the Brewers soon caught up and then eased out in front.

Lewis, Zientara Pound Ball

Best hitters for the Tribe in that fracas were Kermit Lewis with a home run and twc singles and Bennie Zientara with a double and triple. It was Zientara’s 31st double and 10th triple of the season and No. 4 home run for Lewis.

In the second encounter base hits)

boomed all over the park-and Lefty Bob Logan, Tribe southpaw, was belted for four home runs, a double and a triple but refused to surren-

Allen Hunt poled three hits for the Indians in the finale. Both teams collected 14 blows in the abbreviated { attraction.

Series Won by Brewers

The Brewers won the series, three games to one. It was 4-to-3, Milwaukee, Saturday, with young Ben Wade working the route for the Indians. It was a 10-inning battle. Over the season the Indians defeated Milwaukee 14 times in 22 clashes. The Hoosiers departed for Kansas City last night on the last leg of their road trip. They will be home Wednesday to take on the Toledo Mud Hens. Incidentally, the Indians have only one game scheduled in Kansas City, and it will be played tonight. The tilt scheduled there tomorrow was played on an earlier date to permit the Blues to meet the New York
