Shush! Don’t Mention It—But Our Haughty Redskins Are No-Hit Victims

: By EDDIE ASH On that one-day jaunt to Louisville, the Indianapolis Indians took a terrific beating and lost about everything, including their batting eyes. But the home boys are home again and will resume action at Victory field under the lights tonight 2 8:30, opposing the Kansas

City Blues, It is ladies’ night.

After what happened in Louisville, the Tribesters are eager to

bounce back and beat the tar out of

_ the Blues. They have bumped off

the Cowboys 10 times in 12 clashes this season and there are four games in the series starting here tonight, There will be a second single encounter tomorrow night and a double-header Sunday afternoon. Lead Is Reduced The Indians are now only one-

“half game ahead of the Milwaukee

Brewers who were idle yesterday. The pacesetting Tribsters are ahead of third place Louisville by five games, The Indians were the victims of a no-hitter in Derbytown last night and were goose-egged. The no-hit, no-run game was pitched by Donald Thompson, young southpaw, and the Colonels won, 8 to 0: The Colonel flipper struck out nine Tribesmen, but he also issued nine passes to be in trouble most of the way. Another runner reached first safely on an error by Earl Browne,’ Twice the Tribesmen got runners as far as second and on another occasion filled the bases. On this occasion Stan Wentzel was called out on strikes and Manager Burwell protested so long and loudly that he was banished from the game. - The Kentuckians went on. a batting rampage and blasted out 15 hits off Tribe Pitchers. George Jeflcoat and Pedro Jiminez. The Indians made no errors and the Colonels committed one miscue. Cooney With Blues The Colonels chalked up ' one marker in the first stanza and staged a splurge in the third and the rally was good for four runs. The winners also tallied one marker in the fourth, one in the sixth and ome in the eighth. 3 On hand in Indianapolis with Casey Stengel's Kansas City Blues is the veteran Johnny Cooney, a| former Indianapolis idol. an agile outfielder, a good hitter | and a falr pitcher. He also was a| capable first sacker.

When with the Indians in 1935, Cooney topped the American association in batting with a mark of 371. With the Blues now, Johnny is serving as player-coach but is out of playing action at the moment while nursing a fractured rib. Some of the Blues arrived last night and Cooney spoke for the team in the absence of Manager Stengel who remained over in Chicago for the day to watch the Cubs and Reds play. Cooney said the Blues are going great and hope to climb out of the league cellar ere long. They have been pliying a rejuvenated brand of ba]? recently and promise to make the going hard for the league leading Tribesters. But the Indians are at their best on the home grounds and they won't have to depart again until after Aug. 9. They are to play the four western clubs, Kansas City, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis, in that order. The long menu calls for 17 games. Secretary Al Schlensker announced today that boys 17 and under would be admitted free only to the bleacher section tomorrow night. It has been the custom to allow them to occupy grand stand seats.

Rise of Alice O'Neal Turns Back History Pages to 1929 And Other Meridian Hills Meet

By HARVEY HARRIS

Dorothy Ellis today held an early 2 up advantage over 18-year-old Alice O'Neal of Woodstock in the 36-hole title match of the 22d Indiana

Hills, the difference between the Manual Miss Ellis had seven 1-putt greens

on the outgoing nine of the first 18. She carded a one-under-par 38

to Miss O'Neal's 42 and Jed 3 up at the turn, Miss O'Neal, a Rollins college sophomore, reduced this by shooting a birdie 4 on No. 10 and the next two holes were halved in pars. Overshoots Green

After they had halved the first hole, Miss O'Neal won No, 2 when the defending champion overshot the green with her approach shot. The Woodstock lass was down in par. Miss Ellis squared it on No. 3, however, when Miss O'Neal fired into a trap and used up two shots getting out. The next two holes were halved in pars, then Dorothy went 1 up when her opponent's shot again found a trap. A brilliant approach shot which fell ‘just a matter of inches from the cup enabled Miss Ellis to get a birdie on No. 7 as Alice took a par. Gets Second Birdie The next hole was halved in pars but Miss Ellis made it 3 up on No: 9 when she fired her second birdie of the round. This came when she dropped a difficult downhill 6-foot putt. Miss O'Neal won her way into the finals with 2 5 and 4 conquest of Mrs. Calvert Shorb, South Bend, while Miss Ellis was eliminating Former Champion Elizabeth Dunn of Speedway, 2 and 1.

The entire team seemed to respond to Ruffing’s return and that of his rookie battery-mate, Catcher Aaron Robinson. ‘Together they formed baseball's first ex-G.I. battery in which both members had been major leaguers before the war. Careers Parallel Ruffing, whose 13-year career with the Yankees bears a remarkable parallel to McCarthy's, pitched the kind of a game for which he is famous. He knocked the heart out of the opposition by retiring the first seyen men in order, six of them on strikeouts. For six innings he gave up only two hits. The A’s got to him in

Big Red Ruffing Makes Good In First Start of Comeback

Fe titleholder, may strike a familiar note in the minds of local golf fans. -In ‘the 1920 tournament which was also at the Meridian Hills course, the defending champion of that season Mrs. Albert E, Bulson was, in the fashion of Miss Ellis, opposing a young star who was also seeking state tournament play for the first time. The young star who was bidding for honors 16 years ago, Lou Adams, of Meridian Hills, was a year younger than Miss O'Neal. The defending champion, Mrs, Bulson won her way into the finals by defeating -the same Elizabeth Dunn who Miss Ellis eliminated yesterday and by an identical score, 2and 1. : The junior star of the '29 tourney at Meridian Hills reached the finals by defeating a favored veteran by a top-heavy score of .6 and 4. As if that were not enough in the way of comparative statistics, both the 1945 junior contender and the 1929 17-year-old challenger won their semi-final matches on the 14th holes. * Miss O'Neal shot a two-under-par 37 on the outward nine yesterday and started with a birdie 4 on the clubhouse trek. She halved hole No. 11 with the stocky Mrs. Shorb who has reached the semi-finals twice. The upstater took the 12th

hole when Miss O'Neal hit into al

sand-trap and the next two greens were halved. The Rollins college sophomore rounded the turn 5-up on her up-state rival. Miss Ellis carded a 40 to go one over par on the initial nine as she rounded the turn 3-up on her opponent. A birdie on the opening hole when she sank a 21-foot putt

the seventh for two more hits and a run, but he blamed his feat of hitting a three-bagger in the previous inning for that. The game was a lot like Ruffing’s last victorious appearance in the first game of the 1942 world series against the Cardinals at St. Louis. He held the Cards hitless for seven and two-thirds innings to set a new world record. That was the only game the Yankees won in that series, Make 14 Hits Giving Ruffing solid support against the A's, who have been playing the best ball in the league of late despite their cellar position, the Yankees made 14 hits. The victory put the Yankees into a three-way third-place tie with Chicago and Boston, four games out of the lead. The Cubs capitalized on the appearance of their favorite opponents, the Reds, at Chicago, winning 2 to 1, to give Hank Wyse his 14th victory. It was the ninth victory without a defeat for the Cubs over the Reds. this season, ; Third Baseman Stan Haek drove in .the winning run with a single.
