Series 9a Scheduled Spo * Saints Here Tomorrow for Twin Bill

By EDDIE ASH, Times Sports Editor Happy days are here again in the Victory Field wigwam. Al {Lopez's Redskins are back in second place and only seven percentage ‘points behind league-leading St. Paul. Everything brpke in. the Tribe's favor last night as the home

boys bumped off the ukee Columbus lost. Louisville came to the aid of the Indians by

Saints and Kansas City snapped

This put the Indians in the cen-| ter-lane-for-passing-only and they whizzed by Columbus and stepped “lon the Apostles’ heels. There have been but two undis-

puted American Association lead-|

ers this season, St. Paul and Indianapolis. | The Saints, first on top, were ousted by the Indians. Later, the Saints regained the pennant pole. “Now.” everything ‘points up to} the Indians recapturing first place. Bahr Is Slated

The Redskins are to meet Mil|waukee again tonight and the Brewers have not been going |well. The Tribesters beat them

Skipper Lopez had to call in Red Barrett, the relief specialist, to rescue Cal McLish in the seventh when the Brewers threatened J:[to have a “big’ inning. Barrett stopped them - after they had {scored twice in that stanza.

Cy Buker pitched the sev. enth and eighth for the visitors. - Wright is a former Indianapolis hurler who was sold to the Boston Braves a few seasons ago. The Indians clubbed him for 12 hits in six innings and then got two off Buker for a total of 14. With two . homers and two triples it was a gala night for the Tribesters.
