OUTFIELDER IS BOUGHT FROM RED SOX BY INDIANS IN FIRST DEAL OF A NUMBER PLANNER
HERB HUNTER j OBTAINED FOR TRIBE GARDEN Manager Hendricks Notified That Negotiations for Player Go Through. K. C. BLUES IN TOWN Outfielder Herb Hunter today was purchased from the Boston American league club by the Indians and Manager Headricks was notified by Manager Barrow of the Red Sox that the player had been ordered to join the Hooaiers at once. The Tribe has been dealing for Hunter for some time, but not until today were the local club directors notified that negotiations had gone through. OTHER DEALS TO BE MADE. With anew outfielder obtained. Owner Smith will rest a few hours in making offers for talent, but only for a few hours, because he loes not intend to let up until "he obtai .s anew infielder. In fact, the Trioe owner is in the market for anything he can grab that looks good, so the tan* can be prepared to near of other deals favorable to the proposed Indian uplift. Hunter is a former collegian, picked from the campus by Manager McOraw of the Giants. After a period of training under McGraw, Hunter was sent to the Chicago Cubs in a trade a few seasons back, in which Zimmerman was transferred to the Giants. Later Hunter was sent to the Pacific Coast league, where he looked so promising last year as a regular performer with the San Francisco club that the Boston Red Sox brought him back to the big leagues. A PLAYER OF KJtOVIX ABILITY. Hunter still has youth in bis favor, and with the experience gained in both major class and Class AA, he is expected to make good In the association. With the coming of Hunter the Indians now have six outfielders, and this leaves the way open for the Tribe to arrange a deal that will bolster the infield or pitching staff. The deal that would hare sent Ollie O'Hara, jumper, to the Red Sox seems to be off for the time being, due to O'Mara’s demand for a Ty Cobb salary, but the Indian directors are going ahead nevertheless, and by the use of money and atrategy they hope to get the athletes they want while O’Mara continues to mingle with the outlaws. TRIBE WINS TWO OVER WEEK-END • After a heavy week-end program with the Millers, In which they won two games out of three, the Indians today were set to meet the Kansas City Blues for the first time this season on the local lot. The Blues came up from Louisville last night, carrying a big squad of athletes, and they threaten to give the Hootiers plenty of action In the series opening today despite the fact that the Tribesmen are topping them by a few points. Manager McCarthy has been reorganizing his team since the outlaw league stole some of his athletes and the K. C. outfit •tacks up fairly strong now. Manager Hendricks was ready to throw Pug Caret at the Invaders today end for thia reason the fans expected the Tribe to open the series with a victory. The fact that the Indians captured three out of five with the Millers has restored aome of the old confidence at Washington park and there are indications that the club means to do a little climbing in the race. After defeating the Millers, 4 to 2, Sat- i urelay, the Tribe divided the double bill ' with the Cantillonlteg Sunday, losing S to 5 and winning 2 to 1 in eight innings. The second contest was cut short an iunisg because of the 6 o’clock doting law and, though the Millers had counted twice iw their half of the ninth the score reverted to the wighth, thereby giving the Hooaiers the Rogge pitched the winner Saturday, aided by the heavy stick work of Gossett, who had an uwusuaily large day with the willow.
Ia the first game Sunday Petty and Jones were used, but their combined efforts failed to grab the same ont of the •re after poor defensive work had given the Millers their openings. Jones then came back and pitched the second Snnda y bill and got away with It. Jimmy Smith clouted out a homer In the first game Sunday and thereby won admission to the trlhe haberdashery club. It was a shame to see the contest drift away following that smack, but that’s what makes baseball. Tha terrific heat was not terrltlo enough to keep the fans quiet, and they •pent a large afternoon of rooting and ■wallowing various kinds of cold drinks In an effort to keep their throats cool and In working order. Then the big thunder shower came and caught some of the fans before they got back to the downtown district, but even the ones that got wet didn’t care much because they felt like going swimming anyway. Viney Bingen Steps Fast Mile at Fair Grounds; Other Clever Showings Viney Bingen. 2.07%, from the stable •f Fred Swalm. trotted the first 2:10 mco mile of the season In the 210 trotting event on the fair grounds card Saturday afternoon.

The three entires in the event were well bunched when they reached the halfway mark In the third heat. Swa'tn brought his horse into the stretch with the others coming fast at his wheel, but Viney Bingen pulled away to ero<! the wire a full length in the lead. The last half was stepped in 1:03 and the quarter In 31 seconds. Lon McDonald piloted the hnv trotter. Binque, to the front ahead of Miss Ashland In straight heats in the 2:20 trut.’ H. C.

Saturday's record was at 1% miles, covered in 2 minutes 141-5 seconds, which was 2 2-5 seconds better than the time male by the English horse, Dean Swift, at Liverpool in 1908. An offer of $260,000 for Man-o’-War, made before the record-breaking race, was refused by its owner, Samuel L. Riddle of Philadelphia. Mr. Riddle, who bought the racer for $5,000 at the Belmont sale at Saratoga last year, plans to use him for breeding purposes when his racing days are over. Gl'X CLVB RESULTS. H. S.

CARDSGOAT IN ONFLAG TALK St. Louis Wins Eleven Out of Last Thirteen. By JACK VEIOCK. International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, June 14.—The St. Louis Cardinals are looming up on the National league horizon as serious contenders for the pennant. Cardinal teams of other years have made spurts, only to fall back Into the ruck after a short string of victories. But Branch Rickey’s 1920 entry Is different. With the season one-third gone, the Cards appear to have settled down to their real speed—and they are traveling fast. They have won eleven out of their last thirteen games. They are playing fast, heady and aggressive baseball, and hitting In timely fashion. And above all, they are getting good pitching. ” To date the Cardinals have man-han-dled the Dodgers and browbeaten the Giants on their first eastern Invasion. If their pitchers hold out they will return to St. Louis well prepared to make oen of the strongest fights a St. Louis club has ever made for a pennant, Rickey and his players are confident and full or fight. "We are in the race to stick to the finish,” said Rickey today. ’• are making no predictions. Neither are we conceding anything to anybody. All we ask is our share of the breaks.

AN INNING WITH THE AMATEURS — By Charlie Logan. -
The Acton Comets banded the Rupp Independents their first beating yesterday over the 3 to 2 route in the hottest battle that has been staged ou the Acton diamond for a few seasons, With Catcher Sweeney and Pitcher Harris on the sick list and Benny Flagler making his debut In league ball with the Bav City club of the Michigan-On-tarlo loop, the Rupps took the field with a somewhat crippled lineup, but they played airtight ball behind Bob Fdlis and kept the Comets on the Jump all the time. Yesterday’s defeat got Manager Willie Sullivan all peeved up, and he intends to satisfy Rupp followers by trlmmjns the Tigers In their clash next Sunday. Benny Flagler, farmer Rupp fielder, unloaded at Bay City Thursday, jumped Into a uniform, worked In the center garden without an error out of six chances and got two double, a single and walk out of four chances with the bat. The Bingo A. C.’s broke the Tartar winning streak Sunday, treating them to a 10 to 8 beating. The. Bingos have not lost a game this sengfffc. * Next Sunday will bring the Romulas and Bingo A. C.’s together at Riverside. All Romulas players are expected to meet at the regular place Wednesday night. For games call Harrison 841 and ask for Jim. Benny Flack’s circuit clout and brilliant pitching by McGrall featured the Rupp Junior win over the Superbas at Brookslde. The final count was 7 to 4. Stanley Feezle Is back In the game, but playing an entirely different roll. He worked a few Innings at first base for the Marmons Saturday, then took over the mound labor, going great at both positions. Tommy Teller took a bigger lead In the Motor league batting race Saturday by connecting with Elmer Brown's curves for three blows. HOW IT HAPPENED SATURDAY. The “moat flghlnest" gamo of the season was played on Riverside diamond

Adams relieved Brown In the eighth and the Tires couldn’t touch him. The auto builders failed to score until the eighth frame.

Dempsey Trial Is Resumed With Jack Due to Take Stand SAN FRANCISCO, June 14.—The trial of Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, was to be resumed In the United States district court before Judge Maurice T. Dooling today with possibly Dempsey himself upon the stand. When court adjourned Saturday afternoon Mrs. Priscilla Dempsey, the charaE lon’s aged mother, was testifying in Is behalf. She told the Jury how tho champion had been her support for several years. ' Unless the government has further questions to ask her she will not be recalled. Attorney Preston for the defense announced ne had fifteen more witneeses to call. Among these will be the defendant. The defense attorneys had not decided Just whe<n the champion would appear on the stand, but since it is expected the case will go to the Jury Tuesday or Wednesday It was probable he would testify today. The defense will offer further evidence to show that Dempsey was supporting not only his wife, but his parents and ills sister at the time he signed his questionnaire. They will also have Dempsey tell of his work for war charities, and of his later attempt to enlist in the marine corps. McGeath Makes Change CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind June 14.

UNIONTOWN IS USING HOOSIER* SPEEDWAY IDEA I Oldfield to Be Pacemaker Saturday—DePalma Enters Fast Ballot. UNIONTOWN, Pa., June 14. —Three of the world's most famous automobile drivers, men who have established world's speed records, will be In Uniontown for the fourth annual 225-mlle race next Saturday afternoon. They are: y Barney Oldfield, “The Old Master.” Ralph DePalma, the International idol. Tommy Milton, the new speed king. True, Barney will not drive, for the old veteran has quit the racing game as a driver. However, he will act as pacemaker when the greatest field of drivers ever entered at Uniontown gsis the starter's signals. Following Barney, whose every nerve will be tingling for the fray which he would love to Join, will be DePalma and Milton—DePalma, who lowered Barnev's world records; and Milton, who took the laurels away from DePalma. DePalma will be at the wheel of the Ballot In which he led the Indianapolis race with but thirty miles to go and who, overcoming terrible handicaps, came out of the contest the winner of fifth place. Milton will be at the wheel of one of the famous “eight In a row 1 ” Duesenbergs. tydfield, who knows the Uniontown track from racing and observation, a* well as any man living believes ene or more cars will finish the event without a stop at~the pits—and he believes new speed records will be established despite the extreme lightness of the new racing models which will appear for the first time at Uniontown. Barney, in an interview today, said: “The smaller cars will develop a speed as great as the larger cars formerlv did This applies particularly to the speedway racing because these cars will make the sharp turns at the Uniontown track at a higher rate of speed.”
