BROOKLYN VETERAN THREATENS BATTING LEADERS IN NATIONAL

TODAY'S IF TABLE

The Beertown club will be at Washington park Sunday for a double-header with the Indians. They also are booked to play here Monday and Tuesday, and the series will be the last on the home grounds this season. Following the windup at Washington park the Indians will piay series in Toledo and Louisville before ending the 1*16 season With a series In Columbus on October L While the Brewers are playing In Indianapolis the Blues will tackle rhe Colonels, a combination which may shove the Indians closer to the top. The Brewers have been playing In Ixmlsville and using recruits in their lineup, which enabled the Colonels to clean up. As the Bluea are still ambitions to win the flag, they may be able to batter down the Colonels while the Indians are fighting the shattered Brewers The Blues and the Indians played their last game today. Yesterday's victory of the Blues over the Indians would have made a wooden Indian hiccough. The Indians apparently had the game won, 5 to 2. for eight innings, but when the Blues* came to bat In the ninth they hammerdd Cy Falkenberg arid Rogge Into a pulp, making seven runs and changing the score to 9 to 5 in their favor. Snapper Garrison never inade a better finish. Fleven batters faced the Indian pitchers and they not

FOUR SQUADS PRACTICE ON FIELD AT FRANKLIN

The amateur boxing tournament which will be held under A. A. U. sanction at the Indianapolis Athletic and Canoe Club will be staged Saturday night. October 7. instead of September the date first set. The change was made at the request of several youngsters who are bent on hammering each other during the bouts. They claimed they did riot have sufficient time its which to train between the time of the first announcement and September 3(i. The change in date was then agreed upon. All amateur boxers who desire to enter must apply personally or by mail to William S. Merriam, one of the athletic directors of the elkb. for entry into the various classes. Among those who have entered are Patsy Shine, who won the state championship in the 135-pound class at the A. A. U. championships in Tomlinson hall ribout a year ago, and Walter Mullen, who won the honors In the 145-pound I class in the same meet. Harry Bilger. j of diving fame, who has entered for the 135-pound class, is considered a skilful boxer and as he has represented the club In swimming events he will be a strong

favorite.

The professionals have nothing on the amateurs when It comes to training. The youngsters are going about It In a systematic manner and the majority of them will be In fine condition for The bouts. The amateur show at Tomlinson hall was one of the best glove entertainments ever given in the city because all the bouts were -hard fought apd there was no stalling in any of them. The club is making arrangements to accommodate more than 600 spectators.

The American League race remains a virtual deadlock, with the Tigers half a game behind the Red Sox. The White Sox are sticking close and are just half a game behind the Detroit club. Events In the next few*days In the Ban Johnson circuit may end the controversy regarding who’s who In that league, for. today the Red Sox are billed for an engagement against the White Sox, and while the two hosiery teams are at each other’s, throats the Tigers will be taking on the Athletics. And this looks pretty soft for Ty Cobb et al. In the National League. Brooklyn forged ahead to the extent of a half game yesterday, Philadelphia, Boston and New York being unable to play because of the rain.

I Special to The Indianapolis News] FRANKLIN, Ind., September 16.-A1-though no apeclal effort has been made at Franklin to urge men out for football practice enough men are in suits each evening.for almost four teams. The practice takes the nature of a four-sided affair, the squad being divided In as many sections, each section being under the leadership of a letter man under Thurber’s direction, who drills the men in elementary tackling, falling on the ball and blocking. Practice starts each evening at S:au and continues for two hours. 7> The first regular scrimmage practice will be given next week, when some lineup can be given of« the men likely to take places on the team. C. Hamilton, one of last year’s likely candidates, returned to school this week and was out for practice with old-time pep, Hamilton and 4’ralg are the most likely prospects for the end positions on this year’s team. Welsh, of Peru, and Jordan, of Detroit, are prospective quarterback men.

NEW YORK. September 16.—Zack Wheat, the eminent outfielder of the Dodgers, by his great stunt of hitting safely in twenty-eight consecutive games, today jumped into third position in the National League batting averages. Wheat started his macing career while the Dodgers were on their last swing abound the circuit and the most recent averages show he is hitting .319. He is just a point behind his teammate, Jake_Daubert, who is clouting for an average of .330. Hal Chase, of Cincinnati, continues in the lead with a mark of .327. Wheat’s string of safe hits has not ended, but he already has set a record for.the season. There Isn't a chance for him to break the world’s record this year, for Jack Ness, now with the Chicago American League club, hit safely in forty-nine consecutive games Inst year, while with Oakland, in the Pacific Coast League. Zack’s last hit was Friday when hte stepped to the plate in the second ipning of the same between the Pirates and Dodgers with the bases full and smashed the ball to the left field fence for a home run. This is the Missouri c louter’s first home run with the bases

full, although his four-sack feats are common in. Brooklyn.

The greatest interest of the season is centered in the field day events, which will be held one week from tormerrow. Six ^vents are on the field day card. Scoring in this tournament will be the same as in the Olympic games, five points for a first, three for a second and one for a third. The player with the most points wins the Charles B. Dyer silver trophy cup. * ♦ * By displaying an excellent golf temperament, holding a cool head at all times and paying strict attention to his own play, Rulsel Frakes, a fifteen-year-old youngster, yesterday afternoon won the junior city golf tournament of the Woodstock Club course, when he defeated Rov Robertson, 2 up and 1 to play. After losing the first hole, Wakes showed his mettle by taking the next three holes. One of the features of the match was that of the entire eighteen holes only one was halved, every other being won or lost. The contest was close the entire distance, neither player at anv time having a decided advantage. It was a contest of nerves, and the winner showed a spirit that should land him near the top in a few years. The piay in the consolation match resulted in a victory for Holliday over Grimes by a goodlv margin. Grimes, who is but fourteen years old, did not play the golf he is capable of.
