Sell Grand Slam F or $75,000

~ LEXINGTON, Ky. Aug. 13 (U. P.).—Grand Slam, an all-time turf champion and now a successful gire, was sold for $75,000 at a dispersal sale following the Lexington ‘sales which ended last night. Henry Knight, Almahurst farm, Jessamine county, Ky, purchased the chestnut stallion, which was second on the list of sires of juvenile money winners last year, Eleven of Grand Slam’s offsprings won $107,700. Total sales at the three-day wartimié counterpart of the Saratoga gales amounted to $926,700, officials ‘announced. Some 311 horses were

the pennant is decided. What makes the Indians look the part of a flag contender again is the fact that they bumped off the league-leading Brewers four Hines in five starts in the series whi closed last night. Now the Columbus gang is 2% games behind the Brewers and the Tribesters are 3% games behind. Tonight at Victory field the Indians take on a new opponent, the Kansas City Blues, in last place but moving toward a better position. It's a four-game series, one tonight, one tomorrow night and a double-head-er Sunday afternoon. Logan to Face Blues Lefty Bob Logan is slated to fill the Tribe mound assignment tonight against the Blues. It's another ladies’ night attraction with game time set at 8:30. On the Indiens’ last trip to Kansas City, the Blues won four straight and the Redskins hope to pour it on the Kaws in the Victory field series. Speaking of pouring it on, the Milwaukee Brewers poured it on the Indians last night, 11 to 5, and then the rain poured. Action was halted by the rainstorm when the Brewers were. at bat in the eighth and the score reverted to the seventh inning. . Both teams had their batting clothes on but the Brewers said it with more extra base hits and more runs. During the course of thé batfest Outfielder Jess Pike was banished by Umpire Fenton and Tribe Manager Bush also got the gate. This occurred in the sixth inning when Pike objected to the calling of a third strike. Then in the eighth inning that was washed out, Brewer Manager Charlie Grimm was ordered off the field as the result of an umbrella episode. Jolly Cholly decided that the umpires were all wet for forcing the teams to play .in the rain and brought out an umbrella to emphasize his personal opinion. #2 Tribe Géts 13 Hits With the umbrella spread over him, Grimm waltzed up and down on the coaching line until Umpire Fenton chased him to the clubhouse. Thereupon time was called, and after a long wait the game was

called.

The Brewers were easy winners in what turned out to be a seven-in-ning struggle. Theggigot off Hin four-run lead in the first inning and batted Jim Trexler out of the box in the fourth. Two runs and two hits made by them in the eighth did not count, but in seven innings they accumulated 16 hits, including six doubles and a triple. It was Trexler’s sixth defeat but it was his first “drubbing.” He has won 14 games. The Indians were not far behind the Brewers in sla g out hits but were short in the extra-base department with only one double (Continued on Page 17)
