Bestudik Lifts Tribe to 2d; Blues Invade for Week-End

By EDDIE ASH, Times Sports Editor

Now that the Indians have stretched their infant winning streak to three straight, maybe they can go on from here. And it's an opportune time to break out a gallop—-the rough riding Blues from Kansas City are in town carrying designs on improving their position

at the expense of the Tribesters. The New York Yankee-owned at Victory field tonight in a single tilt starting at 8:30 and in a double-header tomorrow afternoon with the first encounter carded to get under way at 1:30 o'clock. Thus far this season the Indians and Blues are even in their interclub clashes with three victories apiece, and the rivals also battled through a tie game in K. C, on the Redskins’ recent visit there.

Teams Still Bunched

By defeating the Milwaukee Brewers, 3 to 2, in 10 innings here last night on Joe -Bestudik’'s home run over the right field wall after two down in the 10th, the Indians regained second place in the American association's blistering race as the Blues edged the Colonels in Derbytown.

Played before 6301 customers, last

night's thriller out at Victory field was deadlocked at 2-all from the third inning until Bestudik delivered that round-trip poke. It was an exciting mound duel between a pair of righthanders, the Brewers’ Al Epperly, who used to be an Indian, and Rex Cecil. Burwell ‘Takes Off’ When Bestudik let ‘er go over the wall, a new standing high jump record probably was set by Manager Bill Burwell down in the third base coaching box. The Tribe pilot made a couple more jumps to emphasize his glee as Bestudik rounded the sacks and then escorted Joe from third to home all the while heaping congratulations on the game's hero. The homer was a real surprise. Epperly had Bestudik’s number in the other innings and Joe was up at bat four times without getting the ball out of the infield before he smacked it out of the park. The Indians swept the three-game series from the Brewers. Nine Home Hits The Tribesters collected nine hits last night, the Brewers six and the home nine played errorless ball afield. The one Milwaukee miscue did not figure in the scoring but the Indians were helped to a run in second on an Epperly wild pitch. The Redskins chalked two runs in the second and the Brewers tied it up in the third. Rex Cecil batted in the Indians’ first marker of the game on a single down the left foul line and also set up the No. 2 run. The Indians’ nine hits were distribted one to each pastimer.
