The Indians pulled a victory oat In
the final Brewer tilt yesterday by con
sistent battling.
With the score standing 3 to 2 in
favor of Milwaukee In the eighth in
ning the Hoosier staged a rally and
captured the game.
After one out Kores doubled and Gos
sett, pinch-hitting for Whitehouse,
singled, scoring Art with the tying run.
Reilley then stepped to the plante and
whanged out a triple, on which Gossett
died at the plate when he failed to touch
the rubber. Dick would have scored eas
ily Lad he hit the dirt, but Gaston
blocked him oft and he was sent spin
ning beyond the platter.
Jimmy Smith then draw a pass and
Tex Covington came up and drove Rell
ley home with the run that proved the
winner.
Pug Cavet took up the pitching in
the ninth and quickly snuffed out the
Brewer hopes amid explosive cheering
on the part of the fans.
Umpires Connolly and Shannon had
another bad day and the fans threat
ened to start something. The worst de
cision came on a fly ball in the second
that Left Fielder Hanser dropped but
wh'ch the umpires ruled he had caught.
This resulted in a doable play and
caused cousternation both ou the field
and in the stands, hut the umpires re
fused to change their decision.
Schrelber was on first at the time and
when Shinners belted a long drive to
-left center Hank sprinted for second.
Schrelber was on first at the time and
when Shinners belted a long drive to

The bail got in the sun and Hauser
merely cuffed It down. The pellet hit
the ground and Hauser scooped it.
Both Schrelber and Shinners kept run
ning and it was an easy matter for the
Brewers to complete a double play when
the umpires came through with their
surprise ruling.
Big League Stuff 1
Hod Eller, the crack Cincinnati pitch
er, not only shut out the Dodgers with
six hits yesterday, but contributed large
ly to the scoring of the eleven runs made
by his teammates. The former shine bail
expert “made” only four hits in four
times up, a triple, a double and two sin
gles.
Cincinnati and Brooklyn are now
tied for the leadership of the Na
tional league.
No stopping the "galloping” Giants
now. The New York team made a clean
sweep of the series with the St. Louis
Cardinals and moved in third place when
Philadelphia trounced Pittsburg.
“Murderers’ row” of the New York
Yankees went off on a batting ram
page against the St. I.ouls Browns,
lacing out twenty-one hit* for nine
teen runs. Babe Rutli made a home
run, running his total up to thirty
six for the season.
Tris Speaker’s clan took kindly to the
offerings of two Boston pitchers and the
Cleveland team won handily, 13 to 4.
This was the third successive Cleveland
win over Boston.
Amos Strunk showed he still has big
old-time punch, although released to the
White Sox by the Philadelphia Athletes.
Ills double iu the tenth enabled Chicago
to defeat his former teammates, 6 to 5.
Paddy Driscoll, former football star at
Northwestern university, signed yester
day with the N'ew Y’ork nationals, to join
the team Aug. 13.
Hflbbell, pitching his first game for
Philadelphia, downed the Pirates, 7 to 2.
Hugh McQuillan held the Cubs to four
hits and the Braves won, 4 to 1.

BIG DAY FOR B.YNDLOTTERS.
This was possibly the biggest "schedule
•lay” in the Indianapolis Amateur Base
ball association, that is, it was to be if
the weather man had anything more at
tractive than water to offer.
The Marmon-Premler game, naturally,
held the center of the stage and fans were
expected to troop out to the Premier lot
to witness the battle. For the third time
this season, these two teams were to
clash with the leadership of the motor
loop at stake. Today's game was to be
the last chance of both clubs to cop the
pennant, and they were both keyed up
to a groat fighting state. The ruling of

count, providing he was given any kind

The curtain was to drop on the Com
mercial and City leagues with the play
ing of today's games. The Abattoirs
and Indiana Bells were scheduled In a
hot game in the City circuit. An Abat
