VIC ADDRIDGK

REX DAWSON.

Among the players expected to make the southern training trip with the Chicago Cubs next spring will be pitchers Rex Dawson and Vic Aldridge, of the Indians. The two youngest members of the tribe staff got their chance to “go up” last night on the eve of the opening of the major league drafting season, but they will not join the Cubs until the close of the present association race. Their chance to become regulars will rest largely on their showing on the training trip. Should it be found that they need moe seasoning, waivers will be asked, and in case they are obtained the hurlers will come back to the tribe.

SEATON ANDADAMSTAKEMOUND IN HEN WINDUP—TRIBE WINS TWO MORE.

FAST HURLING MARKS SERIES

Having staked a claim on the topmost peak in the Association mountain range the Indians, backed up by some 10,000 fans w r ho yesterday saw them turn the trick, were out today to take steps toward Intrenching themselves for the winter by taking the luckless Mud Hens into camp again in the final game of the series this afternoon. Tom Seaton, who stopped Roger’s boys In the second game, on Thursday, was expected to go back at them again this afternoon, while Karl Adams, who had the distinction of winning the only game of the present set for the Hens, was slated to try his luck for the second time as the visiting moundsman. The tribesmen gained their lofty position by virtue of successive double-header victories over Toledo, while the Colonels, whom they ousted, could do no better than divide as many bargain encounters with the insurgent Senators at Columbus. After squelching the Hens in the two games on Saturday the Indians had the pleasure of turning the trick all over again yesterday, before the largest crowd of the season, Vic Aldridge besting Hugh Bedient In a mound duel, 2 to 1, in the opening fray, while Clinton Rogge came Into his own by beating Paul Strand in the afternoon, 3 to 1. Aldridge at His Best Aldridge, whom Bedient forced to go at top speed all the way, held the opposition to one lone hit, and but for a pair of wild pitches he uncorked after hitting a batsman, would have had a shutout Rogge, who was practically unhittable

NO AFFECTION OF ANY BRAND IS BETWEEN INDIANS AND COLONELS

Sick ’em Prince! The Colonels from the land of Juleps, will be here tomorrow and endeavor to hang a boiler on the Indians. The tribe In turn will attefnpt to put a couple of shiners on Clymer's gang. There is no fondness, reverential regard or any brand of affection between the two teams. In fact very few of them speak as they pass by. There will be no happy greeting if owners Wathen ami McGill meet, while Managers Hendricks and Clymer are about as friendly as two strange bull pups. As far as baseball is concerned the Ohio river line of ’61 is just as tightly drawn now as it was then. The Colonels have boasted they will win the pennant, and so have the Indians and it is a question of which team cracks first. Today the Indians are out in front with a lead of one full game, which is going some considering the brand of baseball which the leading teams are putting up. The Colonels are scheduled to play here Tuesday, Wednesday ajnd Thursday, and It has been suggested that an extra force of police attend each game. Beat Louisville!

with men on the paths, was helped to his victory bv Dutch Zwilling. who lifted one of Strand’s southpaw spitballs into the center field bleachers for a home run. Jack Leary, who had singled, happened to be reposing on the runway at the time. The games were among the fastest ever played on the west side lot, and sparkled with brilliant work from start to finish. Two healthy triples, one by Leary in the opening round, and another by Derrick In the second, decided the first game. Both blows went to right field, big Jack’s being a high fiy that settled in the farthermost comer of the inclosure, while Claud's wallop was a liner that bounded over Steve Evans and rolled to the fence. Bronkie had singled before Leary delivered his blow while Derrick completed the circuit on Schang’s single to left The only hit off Aldridge came after two were down In the seventh when Gardner caromed a single off third base. Previously in the same round Aldridge hit Rawlings, who stole,, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a passed ball. Two on Saturday. Rex Dawson won an easy victory over Bill Bailey In the first game of the dou-ble-header on Saturday, the fray going to the Indians, 7 to 2. Dawson helped win his own game, scoring three runs with a two-base hit. Falkenberg had little trouble in setting the visitors down in the second Saturday game, 6 to 1. The most remarkable feature qf the Hen series to date has been in the pitching. Twelve pitchers started In the six games and the same twelve finished.

MATHEWSON SUGGESTS TWO PENNANT RACES EACH SEASON

Says System Has Been Successfully Played in Minor —Winners to Stage World’s Series—Shorter Season Is Necessary.

Leagues

fBy Christy Mathewson] CINCINNATI, August 28.-Baseball this year has “taken on” as It never did before In my memory. At least th® major league brand has been more popular than at any time In the game’s history. The minor leagues, meat of them, have had a tough time of it That was so even in the golden years of 1908-12, when the “brush” operators depended for much of their revenues on the sales of players to major clubs. Baseball suffered during the years of the war with the Federal League. But baseball has come back. I think the National and American Leagues so far have played to far more money In 1916 than In any other year. They may not make so much- money as they have in previous years, because the operating expenses have increased. Wartime salaries still prevail. But the public is interested. There can be no doubt of that. The public can not fail to be Interested in competitions so hard fought and even as the American and National struggles have been so far. Look at the American League. Any one of six clubs has still an excellent chance. Five of the six are bunched within a game or two of the leading Red Sox and every one within strikiog distance of the Hub champions. It seems to be any one of three clubs m the National League. Now If the big leagues could be sure each season of such well balanced fields as those of this season nothing further need be said. But every year conditions will not be the same. Therefore it is well to try to figure out some scheme that will keep interest keyed to concert pitch as It Is now even when the competition is not quite so close. Cut Seaton In Half. I have long considered a scheme which I have not mentioned heretofore because I felt those In control of the game might believe It presumptuous on the part of a pitcher. But as I have graduated to the managerial rank and as I saw this scheme of mine advocated a few days ago by an eastern writer, I need no longer hold the secret. This student of baseball suggested that the major league seasons should be cut In half—that there should be two pennant races each year Instead of one. R is a system which has been tried with good results in minor leagues. I think It would be a grand thing for the major game. That there be two seasons for the big fellows of seventy games each. The winners of these short campaigns could play a series of seven games at the conclusion of the second season for the right to represent a league In the world’s series. This classic could still he contested under existing rules. Here is the beauty of such a scheme. A team that leads the first half of the 154 games schedule seldom wins a pennant. There have been exceptions, of course. The Phillies in our league were an exception a year ago. Now, most every season each of the two major leagues would have two pennant winners. These would play off for the honor of entering the annual classic. On those occasions when one team won both sections of the flag races It could easily play a picked lineup from its rivals as a preparation for the world’s series. Increase Profits. Now in these post season series prelimary to the world's series, the gate money could go to the coffers of the leagues. The world's series stake would be quite enough for the respective combatants of the National and American leagues. 1 believe that in this way the profits of the promoters would be greatly Increased, and the promoters deserve more profit than they now receive in these days of frenzied finance - of the game, A season of 154 games as played now is too long. The magnates stick to it because their men are under contract for six months and capital does not relish the idea of paving idlers. But under the present conditions it is an unusual year that does not see interest lag toward the end of Julv. For a tatlender there is nothing quite so dreary as the last weeks of the schedule. Not enough money is realized to pav expenses. Baseball is always good in every city the first month or two. So long as a club has a look-in for a pennant Its clientele will stick. When it drops out of the light

its supporters quit cold. That goes for New York as well as for Kankakee. A new season starting In July would mean the revival of interest everywhere in the game. There would be just as much enthusiasm over the second campaign as there is now in the spring months. And it would be more profitable enthusiasm because then there would be few weather bugaboos to cut in on the Saturdays, Sundays and holidays as now disturb the early spring run. There is another point, too. The club that suffered misfortune would have a better show for its alley. Take the Yankees of this year. I think they were much the best club in the American League. No team suffered so from injuries to stars. Though the Yankees led more than half the way, their gallant fight will get them nothing unless they again lead the procession in October. New York may be 20 per cent, stronger in October than any rival and still be barred from the world’s series. I think the best teams in the leagues should take part in the big classic. This scheme I speak of would tend to assure the strongest entry.

FOREST HILLS, L. I., August 28.—Continued threatening weather, following a hard rain here early today, finally got the better of the tennis experts of the country, and playing of the challenge rounds in the national doubles were postponed. To enable the spectators to concentrate attention upon one important match, the committee in charge has arranged so that the grand stand courts will be occupied by only one match at a time. In the contest for the national doubles championship Wiliam M. Johnston and Clarence J. Griffin will defend the title against the challengers, Maurice E. McLoughlin and Ward Dawson. President George Aaee, ot the National Association, announced that, weather permitting, the opening round would be started tomorrow at the same time and with the same schedule outlined for today. The heavy showers during the early morning hours made the twenty-odd turf courts so wet and slippery that the tournament officers decided on the postponement in the hope that the turf would dry out enough to permit playing tomorrow Without the danger of the players’ spikes tearing the surface and thus spoiling the courts.

GIRL WINS FOR INDIANAPOLIS FIRST NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

THELMA DARBY.

ST. LOUIS, August 28.—Thelma Darby, | onds behind her record. Had the little

the little thirteen-year-old Indianapolis girl, who came here Saturday with a_big reputation, went back to Indianapolis with a larger one after she won the national half-mile swimming championship from a classy field In the remarkably fast time of 16:8 4-5. Miss Ethel Titsworth. who recently finished second in the Mississippi river four-mile swim, was second, and Mis Grace Stewart was third Recently at Chicago Miss Darby swam second to Miss Claire Galligan. of New Rochelle, in the 44<>-yard championship. In winning that race Miss Galligan set a new world’s record of 7:43. The watches were snapped on Miss Darby yesterday afternoon as she completed the first quar-

I ter and they showed just 7:51, only eight

seconds behind the world’s record. Miss Darby won as she pleased. At the half-way mark she was in front by a slight margin, but swimming fifteen sec-

Hoosier swimmer been pushed she could probably have clippel many seconds off

the record.

Many spectators got the impression that little Miss Darby could not last. This was due to the fact that her arms arid legs are short and she makes a great demonstration while at top speed. But she won as she pleased and with ease. She employed a crawl stroke which at no time lessened In efficiency or regularity. The news of Thelma Darby's win at St Louis was pleasant news to Indianapolis sport lovers, for the victory marks the first time In the history of this city that a national championship gold medal has been brought here. Little Miss Darby is the pride of the town. A. A U. officials maintain that Miss Darby Is the first child to win a national swimming championship. She swam under the colors of the Indianapolis Athletic and Canoe Club.

Will Diddel, of Crawfordsville, champion of the central states, was on the Anderson Country Club links Saturday afternoon and played with George Wright, winning from Wright, 1 up In 27. Diddel was handicapped by having to use a borrowed set of clubs but he turned in scores of 39, 40 and 39 in three rounds over the Anderson course.
