three bobbles. It was the Indiane’ fourth game in a row in which they played errorless ball afield. The Saints’ lone run was a the sixth stanza, the drive going over the left fleld fence. It was his first round tripper of the geason. The law of averages caught up with the Saints as they tried for the jinx No. 13 win in their long streak. Only a tie game with Louisville marred that string of triumphs.
Alert on Bases
“ The Indians, held to six hits by George Brown and Clem Labine, won because they were alert on the bases. In the second inning, with one out, Culley Rikard singled to right and Don Gutteridge singled to the same field. Rikard hot-footed it to third, and when the throwin from the outfield was cut off, Gutteridge was trapped between first and second.
