But the Saints had a close call in Wednesday night's contest as the Bears came from behind to lie the contest in the sixth inning at 12 runs apiece. But the Saints came back with nine runs in the lop of the seventh to keep the Bears from gaining their first victory. Robin Ramsey again proved to be the big man at the plate for both teams.

Years back, Indianapolis produced such Juture greats as Mor-decai (Three Fingers) Brown, Rube Marquard. Owen (Donie) Bush, now president of the home-owned Indians, Freddie Fitzsiin-mons and many others.

In more recent years, how about such greats as Roger Marls, Harmon Killebrew or Herb Score? At the start of this season, rosters of the 20 American and National League teams included 60 players who got their polish at Indianapolis. They didn't all hang on. but there were others to take their places. Just recently, the Chicago White Sox, with whom the Tribe close working agreement, up third baseman Ramon ox, with whom the Tribe has a called Ccnd'i anJ righthander Alan Brice. Maris Showed Potential Conde got the word just a few days before the American Associa tion All-Star game earlier this month.

That robbed the hosts Indians of the league's top batter, but they still licked the Ail-Stars, 11 to 7. At the time he was called up, the Puerto Rican led the Association with a lusty .350 batting average and 75 runs batted in. Brice compiled a 5-5 record here. Maris' potential became appar ent in 1956 wlien the Indians cleaned up by winning the pennant, playoffs and Junior World Series. He rapped 17 home runs, had a batting average and 5 runs baited in.

Five years later he be came the majors' all-time home run sludger with 61 as a New York Yankees. Killebrew got few rave notices with the Indians in 1358. He played 38 games, clubbed two homers, had 10 rbi's and batted only .215. He was sent to Chatta nooga to finish out the season, but the following year, with the Washington Senators, he blaster 42 he me runs. In games through Tuesday, Killebrew, now with the Minnesota Twins, rated third in the American Ix-ague with 25 home runs and 69 rbi's.

Score, a southpaw, became the Association's strike-out king before mowing down 263 batters and racking up 20 victories for Cleveland in 1956. His brilliant career was interrupted the next year when he was hit in the right eye by a line drive off the bat of the Yankees' Gil McDougald. Others in Majors He hasn't been the same since and he is now trying for a comeback with Indianapolis. Other ex-Indians still in the big-time include lefty Bud Daley with the Yankees, Gus Bell with Milwaukee, Johnny Callison with Philadelphia, Bob Friend with Pittsburgh, Wally Post with Cincinnati, Carroll Hardy with Boston, Cjmilo Carreon. Jim Landis and Al Smith with the Chicago White Sox; Barry Latman and John Romano with Cleveland, Hank Ag-uirre, Rocky Colavito and Norm Cash, with 27 homers, with Detroit.

Washington has four members of last year's Association pennant winners Bob Schmidt, Claude Os-tcen, Don Rudolph and Joe Hicks along with the veteran Danny O'Connell. The Los Angeles Angels also have a "Hoosier touch" supplied by pitchers Ken McBride ind Ted Bowslield. And it's a fair guess that some of the current crop of Trihesters are just half a step away from the class, polish and finesse de manded by the majors.
