INDIANAPOLIS vs. COLUMBUS

Redskins Are Due to Travel After Tonight

By EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editer The abbreviated Victory field series between the Indians and the Columbus Red Birds really was “abbreviated” by Jupiter Pluvius when rain washed out last night's game while the visitors were at bat in the first inning. | Hence, the abbreviated two- -game series was sliced to ane contest | and it is booked under the Tribe | park lights tonight at 8:30. It is ladies’ night at the open air em- | porium. As a matter of fact, the weather-

man went on a strike in all American association cities last night! and not a single tilt was played. | It was rain in Indianapolis, in| Louisville, in Milwaukee and| Kansas City. In other words, the A. A. teams batted .000 at the box| office, “Li E. and W.” After tonight's attraction here, | the Indians will take off on a long | road trip and perhaps they will] have to leave early and walk. The Tribesters are to launch the trek at Toledo tomorrow night and tour the entire. circuit befare reappearing at Victory field on June 10. The trip calls for them to play! in Toledo, Columbus, Louisville, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Kansas City and Milwaukee in that order. | With rail travel suspended, the Tribe officials will turn to buses for player transportation, and, fail-| ing in that, they will arrange to move the team around the eastern half of the circuit by private autos. | The problem of completing the western trip will be solved or un-| solved at a later date. When the Indians and the Red| Birds squared off here last night Al Treichel was on the Tribe rubber and Jack Griffore was slated to! pitch for the visitors. Columbus] runners were on third and first with two down in the initial stanzas when rain chased the players ang umpires off the field. A light rain fell about an hour | before game time, shut off and then returned in increasing infensity once the pastimers took the field. The umpires waited it out 35 minutes before calling it a night. Chet Ross, new outfielder obtained from the Boston Braves, checked in at the Tribe wigwam| last night.
