| Tribe Blanked Toi Night In Row on Only Three Hits; ~ St. Paul Ties for Loop Lead

By EDDIE ASH, Times Sports Editor Tribe Manager Bill Burwell’s personal report to the home office today was brief and to the point, to wit: “There isn't any alibi. We're in a team-wide batting slump. But we've been in 'em before and got out.

We'll get out again—I hope.”

Burwell hit the nail right on the noggin. The Indians have been

The second and finale of the series was scheduled in Milwaukee after which the Indians will depart for Minneapolis. English Departs Gil English, the Indians’ veteran utility player who was playing a regular third base and slugging .322 clip when an operation removed him from the lineup, rushed up to Milwaukee today to rejoin the team to work himself back into shape in pre-game practice. He also will help Manager Burwell on the coaching lines until his physical condition improves. English will not take a chance on playing for at least another week but hopes to keep his batting eye sharpened by taking light hitting drills. Right now the veteran's plate power is something the Indians could well use,
