'Rogge Weakens in 9th. Blues Scoring 2 Runs for Victory 1ALK TO GOOD FATALLY Pass in Ninth Followed by Three Smacks and Two Runs --Dutch Zwillina Features. BY C. E. McBRIDE, Special Correspondent of The Star.

KANSAS CITY. May Rogge, the big right-handed pitcher of 'the Indianapolis hurling staff, bit too many Blue bats in a- ninth-inning finish the local club staged this afternoon, and the Tribe of Jack Hendricks was nosed out, 3 to 2. Bill Evans and Rogge engaged in a red-hot pitchws' duel, the latter navlng a shade the better of the argument until he weakened in the fatal round. A home-run drive by Dutch Zwilling over the right-field fence broke a 1-to-l tie and put the Tribe out hi front In the sixth, and Rogge made that lead stand good until after two were out In the ninth. In practically every Inning the.

Blues worked one or more runners on the scoring "path, but Rogge pitched his greatest ball when the danger sign loomed. Walk Causes Trouble. looked like a sure victory for the invaders when Rogge disposed of two of the first batters in the ninth. Wilbur Good, who had walked, was on seconc when "Red" Roche, the fourth batter up. Rogge worked the "Redhead" until the count three anc --two.

Then the big.pitcher let loose of a fast ball and Roche hit a single, Good romping home with the tying run. Brief followed by smash ns Rogge'a first pitch to right center, his single sending Roche to third, from where the runner scored on Brock's poke past Wolf, who had replaced Schreiber at short. That was a blow to the Indians, as even the crowd was-on its way out of the park thinking the Blues had dropped another ball game. But it was all Roge's oult. as four errors charged to his- teammates never figure in the scoring.

Twelve Blues hit safely facing the giant right hander, while Evans held the Indians to seven. Shinners Counts First. The first Indianapolis run was manufactured by Shinners right at the start. He hit Evans's first pitch to what should have been a single, "'but Kirkham let the ball get through his legs and before he could" get it back to the Infield Shinners was over the plate. The Blues, after being turned back In the first four Innings, tied the score in a knot in the fifth, but detail play shows that it took considerable hitting to get the man around.

After one was out Kirkham singled over Schrelber's head and halted at second on Good's single to center. McCarthy worked Rogge until the three and two count and then gled Kirkham home with the tymg i marker. A great throw to the plate by in'Ninth. Again Indians. AB 4 1 0-Mara.
