After yesterday's practice game against Pittsburgh, Indianapolis 1B Ollie Kust (28-5.5) went fishing with an acquaintance on a lake near the sight of the game. The boat he was in capsized and he apparently did not know how to swim and he drowned. The Hoosiers had traded for Kust at the beginning of March from New York, where he had been a catcher, and he had won the starting first baseman's job this Spring.

Inclement weather washed out all the games on Sunday and the game scheduled for Monday and half of the games today.

Grand National Association:
St. Louis (8) at Milwaukee (9): Freddy Wood (30-6.3) (2-0) over Ted Ryther (33-4.3) (0-2). RF Ed Capps (24-6.1) had 3 hits with a home run, stole a base and had 5 RBIs. For St. Louis, CF James McClellan (29-4.7) had 3 hits, scored a run and had 4 RBIs.

Kansas City (5) at Chicago (3): Al McClaughry (23-5.6) (2-0) over Pony Stanley (23-6.2) (0-2). McClaughry had as many hits with his bat as he gave up with his arm. He allowed 3 hits, no walks and struck out 5. At bat, he had 3 hits, scored a run and had 2 RBIs.
