In fact, the Hoosier Redskins “gained a point” over

second-place Louisville while

—— Colonels Lose Also White the Indians were hing in the ninth here, the Colonels also were losing in the ninth in Minneapolis to the - third-place Millers.

Only four games separated first‘place Indianapolis and fourthplace 8t. Paul today, with fifthplace Columbus still highly regarded six and a half games off the pennant pace but only two and a half behind the fourth spot.

Before departing on this trip the Indians led runner-up Louisville by one percentage point. Both teams lost Tuesday’'and the margin remained the same. But due to a quirk in baseball percentage, the margin “widened” to two points today despite the fact both clubs bowed again last night, After tonight's game here, the Indians will move across the river
