AGE 26

By HARVEY HARRIS THE SUDDEN termination of the war will have little’ effect on | the present plans of most Marion

| gounty coaches. This was the opinion of Robert | Gladden, superintendent of eounty schools. The Marion county ‘schools sign two-year - contracts

rs End

for most of their scheduled athletic contests.” As a result, the present limited schedules still will be the rule. The county schools expect a wider program for freshman sports, though. Rural schools have felt the effects of war restrictions more than their city neighbors. The lifting of gasoline

restrictions may permit the * freshman squads to do some traveling, particularly the basketball quintets.

With the opening of the high school sports season: just a few weeks away, four changes have been made in the county sports picture.

Saints Win Pair to Drop Indians Into 1st Place Tie

ST. PAUL, Aug. 23—Well, it's a new race in the American associa-| pal] tournament Will get under way tion. The Indianapolis Indians and the Milwaukee Brewers are in an | saturday afternoon with a sixexact tie for the lead and third-place Louisville is within shooting! game schedule that involves each distance of the top spot four games behind. Last night was a tough one on both Redskins and Brewers as the cleaners, who drew a bye.

Louisville Colonels defeated the Millers in Minneapolis ir

St. Paul dropped the Indians in both ends of the double-header here, 4 to 0 and 10 to 4, and the last-place Columbus. Red Birds edged the Brewers in the Cream City in a “singleton.” The staggering Tribesmen have received harsh treatment in the Twin Cities on this last swing around the western half of the circuit. They dropped three out of five in Minneapolis and three straight here. One Game Tonight Fourth game of the series with the Saints is booked under the lights tonight and the Tribe's visit to Lexington park will be concluded tomorrow night. In last night's first encounter, over the seven-inning route, Dick Lanahan, southpaw, goose-egged the Redskins by holding them to three hits and struck out six. Mike Roscoe worked the route for the Tribe and the Apostles beat him by scoring three markers in the fourth and one in the sixth.
