Ray Poat Seeks 15th Triumph
Tonight Against Red Birds
After winning four straight the Indianapolis Indians were checked by Toledo in the first half of yesterday's double-header at Victory field, 5 to 1, but bounced back in the second fracas and scored a 1-to-0 shutout behind John Hutchings’ three-hit pitching.
It was the last Sunday twin bill
of the season at the Tribe park and
was played before 8788 cash customers. The huge throng increased
the Victory field gate for the season to 172,758. And now comes the last series on the home iront with the Columbus Red Birds furnishing the opposition tonight at 8:30. This farewell series calls for four games, exending through Thursday. This is the annual Traffic club night at the Tribe park and it will NOT be the customary “ladies’ night.” Instead, the feminine fans will be given a “night” tomorrow. Slated to toss ’em up for the Redskins tonight is Ray Poat, the tall righthander gunning for his 15th victory of the season against seven defeats. The Indians and Red Birds have clashed 13 times this season and the count between them stands six victories for the Tribe and seven for the Birds.

The Mud Hen first sacker took a fancy liking to Gill's pitching and smacked out a single, double and homer in four times up. Byrnes and Weintraub also belted doubles. Toledo's base hit total was 10.
