Tribe Out Of Playoffs

Times Sovecial LOUISVILLE, Sept. 7.—After playing a single game with the Louisville Colonels at Parkway field tonight the Indianapolis Indians will disband and scatter to their homes. The American association’s regular schedule ends with the playing of games today and tonight and the Tribesters have been eliminated

irom the post-season playoff competition. The fight for the pennant and for fourth place comes down to the last day but the Indians are sixth and can’t climb higher although they can be dropped to seventh. They are 81% games off the pennant pace and three games behind fourth, the last position counting in the playoff. The Tribesters won two out of three over the week-end at the expense of the Colonels. They won behind George Gill here Saturday night, 2 to 1, and annexed yesterday’s first game, 11 to 9, before the Colonels bounced back and won the seven-inning nightcap, 3 to 2.

Tribe Collects 18 Hits

The Tribesters went on a batting spree in yesterday's first tilt and pounded six Louisville pitchers for 18 hits. Wayne Blackburn and Joe Bestudik collected four blows apiece and Gil English garnered three, including a triple. Johnny McCarthy and English batted in three runs each. Al Falzone started on the mound for the Indians and issued four walks in one-third inning. He was relieved by Bob Logan, who finished and received credit for the victory. After scoring six runs in the opening round the Colonels thought they had the game sewed up but their pitching collapsed and the finally pulled ahead and there.

Butiiok: Loses. Close Oo.

In the second tilt Steve Rachunok and Nelson Potter served em up off the mound and both were in good form, allowing five hits apiece. The Indians tied the score at 2-all in the fifth, then the Colonels got a
