fASEBALL THREE GAMES FOR TRIBE ON WEEK-END CARD Indians Out to Continue Winning Streak at Expense of Senators. ROGGE SHINES IN BOX The galloping Indians today planned big things over the week-end and they confidently expect to make a sweep of the three remaining games of the Columbus series. A single game this afternoon and a dou-ble-header Sunday comprise the Tribe’s week-end card, and if the Hendricksmen capture the set they will feel like telling the league they are out to upset things the remainder of the A. A. season. TOLEDO HESS HERE MONDAY. By taking yesterday’s game, 3 to 2, the Hoosiers ran their winnifig streak to seven straight, and already the fans see visions of a tremendous comeback on the part of their Washington park favorites. Following the Senators will come the Toledo Hens and. as the Hens have shown signs of weakening, the Indians believe they will put the rollers under Brcsnahan's outfit also in the series openilng Monday. Whitehouse was slated to pitch the contest this afternoon, leaving Rogge and Jones on deck for the Sundav twin bill. •’Whltey" won on his last start and was expected to turn iu another vibtory this afternoon- if the Indians continued their timely swatting. Attendance is picking up at Washington park and all kinds of compliments are being banded the Indians for their successful comeback In the face of the placed in their path by the inroffffs of the outlaw leagues. Asa result of the Tribe's recent victories the largest crowd of the season Is expected at the home lot for the double bill tomorrow. The Tribe nosed out the Senators yesterday, 3 to 2, in another game of thrills. Bill Clymer was on hand to encourage Ms Senators, but despite “Derby Day'sfrantkr coaching the Indians won. Clint Rogge was the hero when he relieved Cavet on the mound in the eighth ad checked a threatened Cojumbus rally. BCHREIBER DRIVES IN TWO KINS. The Indians had grabbed the lead. 3 to 2, In the sixth, when Schrelber blasted a double to left, scoring Rehg and Gossett, but In the eighth the Senators started out to wreck the game if possible. Hartley scratched a hit through short as a starter in the eighth and Brainerd was safe on Smith's fumble. Wolfer sacrificed, rutting Hartley on third and Brainerd on second with one out. At this point Manager Hendricks sent Rogge in and the big curve bailer struck out both Peehous and George, who batted for Pitcher Lyons. The visitors again threatened in the ninth, but Rogge was equal to the occasion and soon turned them back, thereby giving the Indians seven straight victories. It looks as if the Hoosiers are on their way!
The Indians were the first to score, Reilley petting around in the opening ■frame. He doubled, moved up on Smith’s sacrifice and scored on Covington’s single. In the sixth, after one out. Rehg singled. Zwilling flied out and Gossett singled. Schreiber then came through with his game-winning double to left, scoring Rehg and Gossett. The Senators scored in the second on an error by Sehreiber, a single by Wolfer and a sacrifice fly by Pechous. Their second and last marker came in the fourth on singles by Hartley, Brainerd and Wolfer after one ont. Around the A. A. — —WITH tDDIE ASH— The fans are so strong for Caret that some ot the bues criticized Manager Hendricks for taking the southpaw out in the eighth yesterday. But when Rogge checked the Senators in such snect-cular fashion the critics realized that it’s generally best to leave it up to the manager. /willing’* double In the fourth niarljr went over the low right-field ionce. Bescher knocked it down, but couldn't hold it. I.oule Wolf got robbed of a bit in the s>; when Bescher dashed in and took i. drive by a diving catch. It was a piece of fielding. Wolfer got three hits and a walk for the Senators. Hartley was the other • tngerous Senator batsman. Pitcher Lyons used all kinds of caution In an effort to win for Columbus, but the Indians finally got him. The Indians had the bases filled, with only one out in the fourth, but failed to score. Bill Clymer walks as if he is always following a band. When Manager Hendricks asked Umps Connolly to take a look at the ball Lyi ns was using in the seventh Bill Clyi .er popped out of the Columbus dug"ttt and demanded that the limps take a look at the bat Dnke Reilley was using. Duke was using a bat shaped like h-ut former beer bottle. The umpa did not find anything wrong with either hall or bat, so the argument wound up tied. First game Sunday at 2 o’clock. Clande Derrick, former Indian shortstop, is coming back into the league as r. member of the Toledo Hens. Th* Bines forced the Millers to go eleven Innings to beat them yesterday. The poor old Blues. The Colonels had a big day aa.l grabbed two frem the Hens. Toledo tans soon will be singing the second division blues unless Bresnrthan'fc outlit braces. Roger Bresnahan is a wild man when ais club is losing, so watch out for Cte fire-eating stuff Monday, when the Tinas come to town. The Saints staged another big rally yesterday and knocked off the Brewers. The Brewers had the game. 5 to 3, until the ninth. Same old Saints. Devore, former Indian, has his Grand Rapids Central league club In first place. It's a tight race, however, and Josh's team is up only by a few points. With the Indians winning and the nights cool Owner Smith is catching up in his sleep. Cleaned Up in Tenth On June 6 Salt Lake beat Portland v. ith a grand finish in the tenth inning, Joe Jenkins hitting a homer with the bases full as part of the rally. On June S Portland pulled that kind if a stunt itself, scoring five runs off Oakland in the tenth inning, the only runs of the game. They came on two passes and four hits. Weaver going to j. after pitching great ball for nin,i innings. * Yale Crew Sets Record GALES FERRY, Conn., June 19—The Yale crew in training here for the race . with Harvard yesterday set a record for half mile on the Thames in 2 minutes PwL. seconds. , WHAT MAKES BASEBALL. The Little Rock Mobile game of June 8 was going nicely with Mobile in the lead, 2 to i, when the ninth Inning opened. Then the Ttaveler heavy artillery suddenly opened on Tom Lukonovic. Harper and Frierson hit homers, one of the smashes coming with a man on base, and Mobile had lost another game.

Y., June 19. —Cornell was first choice ambng enthusiasts to see the intercollegiate regatta of the American Rowing association, which was to be rowed today in three races of two miles each among the varsity, junior varsity and freshman crews of Columbia, Pennsylvania and Syracuse.

The Cornell varsity eight Jumped into favor when it was reported that in trials the crew had twice broken the course record of 12:28, made in 1912 by Pennsylvanj . “Gus Rammi. my stroke of oar, has two very painful boils.” the Syracuse coach sajd. "I am afraid we are going to fall down In the race we have been getting ready for all season. It's a bad break, but it can't be helped.” Coast Courtney of Cornell was all optimism. "These boys have the winning habit this season and I don’t believe they will change at this late day," he said. 'They are all in good condition.” Jim Rice and Joe Wright, coaches of Columbia aud Pennsylvania, resent being figured as "also rang" in the big classic. “From the talk were counted put as dead ones.” said Rice. “But dead bpys like ours have strange ways sometimes of coming back to life.” Special police 'arrangements had been made to handle the crowd, which was expected to resell the 20,000 mark.
