Trike Oitasts Kansas City in

To Third Place

KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 20.— After staging an old-fashioned slugging bee last night that resembled townball at times, the Indianapolis Indians and the Kansas City Blues stayed in the hay for extra sleep today. They played an

night and the Redskins won, 11 to 10, after 3 hours and 7 minutes of pastiming.. The contest dragged out because 26 hits were made, accounting for 21 runs. Seven pitchers were used, four by the Indians, and five pinch hitters and one pinch runner got into the long fracas. But the Hoosiers won, which is really something against the Blues, who had defeated the Tribesters five times in six previous clashes this season. Moreover, the Tribe victory sliced a full game off the Kansas City lead and the Indians moved into a tie with the Toledo Mud Hens for third place in the A. A. race. Louisville advanced to second place, 3% games behind the Blues, who are 4% ahead of the Indians and the Mud Hens, and five ahead of fifth-place Milwaukee. Last night's triumph enabled the Redskins to jump from fifth to the

Castiglione’s costly error opened the door wide open for the Blues, There was no scoring in the ninth but in the 10th the Redskins came to life again and shoved

[across two runs, which was barely

enough to win because the Blues also tallied ane marker. The Indians had two four-run innings, the fifth and the seventh. Ken Silvestri, Blues’ catcher, hit a two-run -homer in the fourth and Johnny Riddle, the Tribe's kstop, crossed up the Blues in the seventh by working the squeeze

Highland Golfer Takes Title Second Time-

With 71 in Four-Way Playoff

By J. E, O'BRIEN Joe Higgins,- who putts with an unerring touch and who can get { trouble easier than he gets into it, has won two of the three Indianapolis District golf tournaments he has entered. The two aforementioned accomplishments carried him to his second championship yesterday in the four-way title playoff at Speedway over a heavy turf, under heavy clouds and before a heavy gallery,

He turned the trick with a par 71 and caused observers to ponder whether he might not have won the easier way had he played all rounds in dry weather. During the first round—with the setting ideal for golfing—Joe shot a two-under-par 70 at Hillcrest. Turns Inte Duel Showers plagued him on the final two scheduled rounds when he produced a 75 at Broadmoor and a 74 Wednesday at Speedway.
