4-0, when the Brood broke out in a seven-hit rash in the second, the Braves fought back on two powerful "home run smashes by Frank Kalin in the third and Butch Moran in the seventh to catch the Ohioans at 5-all. But fate walked out of the Tribe's camp in the ninth when Al White lashed a single to left, moved to second hen Ray Sore, Toledo's second hurler, sacrificed perfectly and scored the clincher as Dick Kimble bashed a double into center. It was disheartening, to say the least, for the 4.784 patrons who saw the Hens snap the Tribe's five-game winning streak. ON'LY ONE percentage point separated the two teams before the game and Toledo's victory gave the invaders second place in the AA ahead of the Louisville Colonels, who bowed to Columbus. Sad though the ending was, there were several cheery notes for the Braves threatened in every inning but the ninth.

Topping the list were the Ruthian belts of Kalin and Moran, Both Kalin and Moran couldn't have picked better spots in which to powder the ball out of the playing environs. Those two wallops accounted for all five of the Tribe runs. Kalin's scored Glen Fletcher, who had relieved Starter Steve Nagy in the riotous second, and Pete Castiglione in the third to put the Tribe back in ball game. MORAVS SCORED Lou Tost ahead of him, Tost having bowed In as a pinch runner for Bill Deininger, who previously had singled in the seventh batting for Fletcher. This home run belting business was not confined to the Tribe fclo'he.

Ellis Clary, Hens' third packer, caught hold of one of Jtrher's offerings in the sixth nd deposited it over the left field jbarrier for a trip around the horn tinmolested. Shore, who pitched only one 'nd two-thirds frames, received credit for the victory and Red the Tribe's third hurler, fas charged with his third defeat flf the campaign.

Before the riot was over and Fletcher was on the scene, four Hens had scored and a lusty double by Whitey Piatt had spearheaded the assault. HOWEVER, the Tribe jumped into the ball game in the third. Fletcher walked as an opener, Pete Castiglione singled, and Kalin then boomed his fourth homer out of the park. Clary's four-master in the sixth sent the Brood in front, 5-3. Then, in the stretch inning, the Tribe tied it up when Moran drove one out of the park.

That was all of the furore, save for the Tribe's threat in the eighth when Wentzel tripled, only to die on third as two mates lofted. The two clubs will ring down the curtain on their three-game series at. Victory Field tonight Before delving- into the more pertinent details anent the scor ing, be it reported that the fans could not have ordered a better played ball game. Neither side kicked an offering, and it was two lightning double kills on the Tart of Toledo that snuffed out blooming Tribe rallies in the fifth and sixth with Dick Kimble starting each one. Neither starting hurler was around at the finish, Nagy seeking shelter in the second when the Hens revolted for six straisht hits good for four runs.

HENS' STARTER Lefty Earl Jones was derricked in the eighth with one away and Stan. Wentzel perched on third with a screaming triple to center. It was here that Ray Shore took over for the squat southpaw and the fans yelped for a long fly or a hit to tie the score but Shore caused Ernie' Andres to loft to first and Johnny Riddle to sky to short, thus ending the Tribe's final scoring bid.
