Indianapolis Times, Indianapolis, Marion County, 16 September 1946 — Page 12

A horseshoe nail wasn’t so lucky for Ted Horn in the 100-mile race at the fair’ grounds yesterday.

He picked one up in a left rear tire and was forced into the pits late in the race, losing valuable time and a chance at a higher position. Horn’s pit crew is shown making the quick change before he roared back on

the track to finish fourth.

Our Indians Have Minneapolis At Do-or-Die Stage of Series

that can snuff out the Millers. Hutchings threw a two-hitter at the Millers in Indianapolis earlier in the series, and a reasonable facsimilie of that performance should give the Redskins their fourth and final victory of the set and thus qualify them to meet Louisville in the Shaughnessy finals, After winning Saturday night's game, 8 to 1, the Indians lost their chance to wrap up the series yesterday when they dropped a 4-1 decision to Minneapolis. Meanwhile, Louisville finished its semi-final series against St. Paul with a pair of week-end victories for a final four-games-to-one decision. Pitching Not at Fault Tribe pitching, nothing less than brilliant so far, didn’t lose much of its luster yesterday, although Paul Derringer became the first Indianapolis hurler of the series to need ‘relief. - However, the defeat was more a case of untimely hitting by the Indians, three errors, some highstepping by the Millers on the base

Sulli van Mentioned For Redskin Post

Ted Sullivan, well-known Indianapolis sportsman and baseball fan and former member of the state athletic commission, will succeed Al Schlensker next season as treasurer of the Indianapolis Indians, The Times was informed reliably today. During the week-end Schlensker was named assistant treasurer and administrative officer of the Pittsburgh Pirates by Frank E. McKinney, new Pirate president. At the same time McKinney announced that H Roy Hamey, American association president, will become general manager of the Pirates. McKinney also told newsmen in Pittsburgh that selection of a 1946 manager for Pittsburgh has “not heen discussed,” but he indicated a choice will be made from the growing list of applicants before the world series.

Fans to See Heavies Go

Warren Bockwinkle, who scales 235, will tangle with the 265-pound Tiny Morgan in the semi-windup on the Armory wrestling card tomorrow night. It is an all-heavy-weight program. Morgan, who is out of Temple, Tex., is one of the “big guys” of the mat world, being six feet five inches tall. Bockwinkle is from St. Louis. He beat Gino Vagoni here last week. The opener introduces Tom Mahoney of Boston, who will grip with Fred Blassie of Memphis. Two “big name” grapplers collide in the main go which pits Joe Dusek of Omaha against Louis Thesz of St. Louis. Thesz is a former heavyweight champ and only recently was discharged from the army.
