TV, rlAnnU rrtf rt snA ancrhf tin in 1U VI Ufc, fc. lilt VUlUUCIi KUfc the seventh on a two By FRANK HARRAWAY Of Th Denver et Denver, May 27. The Louisville Colonels staged a robust middle-inning comeback to wipe out a six-run Denver lead, but lost the series finale to the Denver Bears 12-7 tonight. The victory gave Denver a sweep of the three-game series.

Louisville plays a single game at Indianapolis tomorrow night to conclude the long road trip, then comes home Wednesday to launch a series with the Indians. The Colonels fought back admirably to get into the ball game after Denver socked away six runs in the second inning. Starter Al Corwin was the victim of a series of "secing-cye" ground singles in the second. The first three Denver batters smacked ground-ball singles through the third base shortstop hole for one run. Then after a walk, Bob Oldis rolled another single through the same hole for two more runs.

Another walk and another single finished Corwin. Al Curtis started poorly in relief by allowing a single and two walks to push the inning total to six runs. Then he hitched his belt and put the shackles on Denver batsmen. Curt Roberts' single, an infield out and Fritz Brickell's single produced a run in the third that matched the one Louisville garnered on Butch McCord's bad hop triple and Art Dunham's ground out. The Colonels started their catch-up campaign in the fourth when Ken Hilyer tagged Mark Freeman for a three-run homer.

Earl Rapp smashed a solo homer in the fifth. Chico Rivera.
