Bill Burwellites tallied two markers in the fifth and two in the sixth to sew it up. Al Roberge got three hits, one for two bases, and batted in three of the Tribe's five runs. Frankie Drews, who replaced Eddie Turchin at third base, helped the Indianapolis cause by driving out a double and a triple and scoring twice in his leadoff position. The twin bill was played before a crowd of 7160. In 17 clashes to a decision between the clubs this season, the Indians have won nine, the Saints eight. They meet in five more tilts in regular season play, the one at St. Paul tonight and four in Indianapolis later in the month. Blues Bounce Back After dropping seven straight games, the Blues finally won one last night by bumping off runnerup Louisville, 11 to 2, at Kansas City. Karl Drews pitched eight-hit ball in knocking off the hot Louisville club. Kansas City made the same number of blows but got them when they counted in getting more runs than hits, Four Louisville errors helped the Blues’ cause. The Blues completed three double plays and stole five bases. They had a seven-run fifth-inning. It

of Bill Tinder, Shelbyville pro, and Henry Timbrook, popular city amateur. Little was anticipated this year in the way of broken records or eye-opening play despite the galaxy of state golfing names present. With the added handicap of weeping heavens and a shifting wind, the tyros as well as veteran golfers were expected to be hard put over the narrow, snake-like Coffin pasture. Heinlein Goes Good A warmup session in the form of a pro-amateur tourney yesterday brought forth some special par punching by former open champion Bill Heinlein, Noblesville professional. J : The wiry wielder of iron and wood teamed with last year's amateur champion, Paul Sparks of Highland, to register a 64. This tally was eight-under-par. Even more inspiring is the added cut Heinlein's golf slices will make in the tournament melon of $235.20 top prize. L A double entry fee enabled Heinlein to be paired with George Johnson of Speedway. This tandem was able to match shots with John David, present amateur titlist from Meridian Hills and Wayne Timberman, pro at the same club. That put them in the race for the second and third berths, also, with scores of 66. Heinlein dipped into the gravybowl of finances again here too.
Shafer, Timbrook Fourth Defending champion 8hafer scored a 68 to hold down the fourth position with Henry Timbrook of Meridian Hills, With continued halts by an unkindly weatherman who threatened to foist his showers on the linksmen throughout the day, the golfers seemed destined to arrive at the clubhouse by the lights of their zippo firemakers. Shots like fish, which threatened to take over the course as morning progressed, apparently were to furnish good tales about the “ones that got away.”

In previous clashes, in the Sunday City league, Ferris has defeated the Ribbons, 14-13 and 12-6 and lost to them, 16-5. So, this battle of the seventh and eighth place teams may be the best game of the evening. They play on diamond No. 2. The league - leading Leonard Cleaners face St. Roch's on diamond No. 1; P. R. Mallory plays DeWolf News on diamond No. 3 and Eagles Lodge and Kingan Reliables meet on diamond No. 4. Although the Roch’s have pulled some surprises in their Wednesday night play, the Cleaners should be able to add another victory to their standing. After Sunday's amateur day showing, Mallory should have an edge on De Wolf and Kingan should bounce back into the limelight at the expense of the Lodge nine.

This is not the first time Cane, who is president of the Goshen Mile Track Association, Inc, sold a Hambletonian candidate practically on the eve of the race. In 1938 he sold McLin to Hanover Farms for $25,000. Driven by Harry Thomas the colt paid quick dividends, winning the fixture worth $37,962 under the name of McLin Hanover.

Chisox, Brewer
Deal Hot Again CHICAGO, Aug. 6 (U. P)— Charles Comiskey, youthful part
owner of the Chicago White Sox, announced today the American league club “definitely was interested” in buying the Milwaukee Brewers of the American association,
Young Comiskey went to Milwaukee Sunday to inspect the Milwaukee park and along with other White Sox officials met Brewer owner Oscar Salenger yesterday to discuss the purchase of the fran-| chise. “This is a business deal,” he said, ‘so any final decision must wait until we have had an opportunity to appraise the present and long term value of such a purchase, It is unlikely a deal would be closed before the American association season ends.on Sept, 8.” Salenger purchased the Milwaukee club from Bill Veeck, present owner of the Cleveland Indians. Salenger said he desired to dispose of | the minor league holdings in an- | ticipation of “becoming part owner of a major league club.”
