fSPEEDING INDIANS THROW SCARE INTO THE COLUMBUS ROOTERS BY VICTORY IN OPENER

1 SENATOR FANS k IN DAZE OYER TRIBE S SPURT Clymer Followers Yelp for Home Team to Stop the Galloping Hoosiers. ROGGE WINS LONG ONE COLUMBUS, 0., June 26.—Followers of the today were pleading for the home team to do something to check the mad dash of the Hoosier outfit, which •tuck another arrow in the Clymers yesterday, making It five straight victories over the locals. In a recent series at Indianapolis the Senators dropped four In a row to the Indians and, when the teams opened another set of games here yesterday, the JBendricksmen grabbed it after fourteen Pannings of sensational battling, 2 to 1. Asa result the Senator fans are crying for the Clymers to do something and this afternoon it was thought that Dave Dtnforth, Columbus’ pitching star, would be gent to the mound in an effort to turn the Hoosiers back. The contest yesterday was a thriller, the Indians getting one run in the opening frame. Then until the ninth the innings were all blanks, but in that frame the Senators shot a run over, which evened the count. Rogge and George settled down for anether pitching struggle and not until the fourteenth was it decided, when, with Gossett batting and Rebg on third, the Tribe negotiated a successful squeeze play for the victory. The Columbus warriors got nearly double the amount of hits obtained by the Indians, but cautious pitching and Sensational support kept Rogge in safe territory and finally put him over the Winner. Welter Rehg got two hits, making sixteen consecutive games in which he has hit safely. Lefty George worked **ard to escape Kiefeat, but his mates could not bore hrough Rogge's pitching and the Tribe, defense. Not an extra base hit was made, so careful was the pitching on each side. Doable plays featured, there being a total of seven for the afternoon. Two of the Hoosier double killings were started In the outfield by Reilley and Rehg. The Indians were to play an exhibition fame within the walls of the Ohio penisnttary this morning. Manager Hendricks is a dose friend of the warden and each year takes his team within the gates to give the prisoners some baseball entertainment. Art Kores, late of Toledo, played third for the Indians yesterday in the absence of Jimmy Smith, who has a bad ankle. Wolf was at second. Duke Relllev is having trouble with Oil .City (Pa.) authorities. A constable was ►lr>re yesterday to serve notice on Reilley taat the Oil City t/im desired to collect the money it paid him before he jumped baek to organized baseball. It looks as If the Duke is in for a legal battle. Grover Hartley was the Columbus hitting tar yesterday, with four safeties Grover always hits at his best when opposing the Hoosiers.

SID MERCER'S CLOSE-UPS

ACCOINTANTS INVESTIGATE KITH. NEW YORK, June 26. We present herewith the estimates of a pair of statistical experts, who have been retained by us at enormous expense to figure out Just how many home runs Babe Ruth will make this season, barring injury, suspension by Ban Johnson, or legislation deadening the American league baseball. Our team of rapid calculators, consists of A1 Mnnro Elias, the figure hound, and Jerry, the ex bartender, who became au expert accountant through years of experience In adding up the tabs of bis customers without ever giving himself the worst of It. Mr. Elias dopes it out that Babe Rnth will smite approximately fifty four homers, not Including a special world's series brand. He is inclined to be more conservative than Jerry because he claims that figures can't lie and he doesn't care to be sensational. Jerry, on the other hand, takes mathematical liberties—the same s he did with his old customers—ftnd fixes the 11*20 Roth crop of home runs at a little wore than fifty-eight. To prove that he has arrived at his conclusions in a legitimate and scientific manner, Elias fixes the exact number of Babe’s four-ply belts at 54%. The fraction represents the five singles Rube is expected to make this year. He already has three of them. .Terry’s dope also gives the Home Run King a few small or broken size hits. HOME KINS BY THE WEEK. We will first take up the statement of A1 Munro Elias, who employs only kina' division in his operations. "Ruth made his nineteenth homer a week ago last Wednesday.” states the figger fiend, "and at that time had only ten more to go before he ties hts own record. He can do that standing up. Now for the brain work. Last season Babe made twenty-nine homers in a season of twenty-one weeks. This year he made nineteen in eight weeks. Thus he averaged 18-21 homers per week in 11*19 as against 2% per week this season up to last week. Everything is higher now. you know. D'ye get me, Steve, or don't you ? "The 1920 season runs approximately twenty-three weeks, and by multiplying twenty-three by 2% we can definitely tlx Ruth's output at 54% home runs liven If we knock off 4% for wear and tear, depreclatloi. and overhead charges, we still have fifty homers left, bnd that !s ten more than Babe himself modestly estimates he will collect this season. Do you follow me, or am I all alone?” DON’T rOROET MACK’S PITCHERS. Jerry, the ox-bartender, employs the tystem of weights, measures and bookkeeping employed by prominent retailers, and, therefore his charges are higher than A1 Munro’s. the staple statistician. “The 1919 schedule was for 140 games.” calculated Jerry, “the season opening a

PHILADELPHIA, June 26.—Fred Lear, utility lnfielder, was Friday released by the New York National league team. He goes to the San Antonio team of the Texas league.

week later and closing a week earlier than usual. “We thus discover that Babe is nongrinding out 2 1-9 home runs per werk this season, as against 7-9 of a home run for each week In a corresponding period last year. Taking Bambino’s weekly average this year and figuring on a season of twenty-three weeks, we arrive at a total of 581-9. The fraction represents light blows that will be left over in stock. I don't care wbat Elias says. I can figure anything out higher than he can.” “But there teems to he an error in your figures,” we protested. “At your rate of calculation the total should b3 only 481-9 for twenty-three weeks.” “I forgot to tell you about those extra ten homers," said Jerry. “They are the ones fhnt Babe will make off Connie Mack's young pitchers the last week ot (he season ”

Yale Oarsmen Collapse as They Trail Harvard Over the Regatta Line

NEW LONDON, Conn., June 26.—Leading from the first dip of the oars. Harvard’s varsity crew defeated Yale In a spectacular four-mile rabe of the fiftysecond lntervarslty regatta Friday by nearly six lengths, thus wiping out the sting of the double victory of their Ell rivals In the two preliminary races held early in the day. Harvard < arstnen swept across between the finish flags twenty-three minutes and eleven seconds after receiving the starting signal, while their Yale rivals trailed In thlrty-flvo seconds later In a state of exhaustion. C. Peters of Seattle, the Yale stroke and captain, eallopsed in the last eighth mile and thrice dropped his oar. Bow B. C. Driscoll also went down at the finish, while the remainder of the eight had difficulty in sitting erect. The victory of the Harvard eight came as more or less of a surprise, for Yale was a favorite at odds of 10 to 7 in the little betting that was done. Today Crimson cohorts were singing the praises of their American coach, the Harvard crew as a unit anrl particularly Stroke R. .Tenney, the lightest oarsman who ever stroked a Harvard crow over the four-mile course on the Thames.

TID BITS By TAD.' GREATEST HE EVER SAW. New York, June 26. Met Kid McCoy on the lawn at Belmont park the other day aud got Into a gabfest about mitt pushers. We finally got the Kid going, and be tipped us off to his ideas on great guys. "Put me down as saying that Old Fitzsimmons was the greatest fighter that ever lived,” chirped the Kid. as be sneered and looked at the plugs come out of the paddock. “Why do you think that Fitzsimmons was the greatest. ?” wp asked. “Just because I wouldn't fight him,” piped the Kid. "I can’t think of u better reason. I fought all those big fellows and only missed two- Fitzsimmons and Jeffries. ' "That old boy Fitz sure was a wonder In my eyes, He could hit ami he could take it. He was always dangerous, right up to the time a referee said ten. "Do I consider Jack Dempsey a tough bird? You tell ’em I do. That boy is one of the best heavies I’ve ever seen. He's only a kid yet, but has a record such as few other big men ever had that is in the K. O. line, He can htf with any of them, is fast enough to box with a good boxer and strong enough to take a bull to the mat. “He's liable to be the greatest sensa tion the ring has ever known. We don’t know all about him yet. “Leonard"' Yes. a marvel. He's one of the tiest that I ever saw. He's a good, crafty rtngman, and don't fool yourself on him. "He can stop anything in the world near hla weight right now He'll oe champion until be retires. There isn't a boy in his class today. "Do I think Tommy Ryan a marvel?" The Kid smiled again and clapped ht knee with the program. "I'd be putting in a boost for myself if I told you that he was a master,’wouldn’t I? lie wag a great fellow, not because I knocked him cold, and no one else could do that, hut he was a wonder. There wa little about the prize ring that fellow didn't know.” BATTER'S OUT. Dear Tad—An urop out In the bushes sees more comedy in a week than the hirds in the big show do in a whole sea son. One of the funniest stunts I ever saw. and I believe it to be the queerest strikeout that ever took place on a ball field, was pulled down at Paducah a few yearn back, when I was umpiring Paducah was playing Cairo, and it was a hotly contested game, drifting along to the ninth inning with Cairo leading, 1 to 0. With two down In the ninth. Old Jonah Hines, who was playing first for Paducah. got hold of a fast, high one. gave it a ride to the fence in right field, and pulled up at third The next man up was a your.g fellow named Jeffries. When the Cairo pitcher, who, by the way. was our old friend the late 'Bugs" Ravraond. saw the des-perate-looking Jeffries amble up to the plate, dragging a big bat, he took an ex tra big chew of tobacco and tightened his belt. Raymond was in fine form that day. and pitching ids head off, got the big batter in the hole, with two and two. As he started to wind up for the next pitch one of the swallows that abound along the Ohio river darted out from the shade of the stand to the middle of the diamond, wheeled over Raymond's shoulder and headed for the plate, waist high. Jeffries, seeing what he thought was a fast groove hnll eomlng up. nlthough n bit puzzled at the odd shape of the pill, dug hia spikes Into the turf and took a fearful rut at the bird. As the swallow zoomed safely over the stand. “Bugs," who took in the situation at a glance, whipped over a perfeet strike before the staggering Jeffries could set himself for another swing As soon as the ball left bis hands. Raymond. weak with laughter, lay down on the slab, and had to be carried off the field. J. E. MORGAN. Shamrock IV Wins SANDY HOOK, N. J . June 26. Sir Thomas Lipfon's Shamrock IV, dial longer for the America's cup, defeated his 23-meter Shamrock in a 25-4 mile tuning up contest Friday by 13:31 actual time.

He’s Met Both Heavies and Says Dempsey Is Too Much for Frenchie GUNBOAT SMITH. Gunboat Smiih, one of America's heavies, says Jack Dempsey will lick Georges Curpentier if the pair meet.

The next time Dempsey laid him low.

NET PLAY HERE RUNS TO FORM Pupil Hennessey Gets Chance With Teacher Trask. Pupil Johnny Hennessey and Teacher Charlie Trask were to clash today In the final round of the Woodstock invitational tennis tournament on the Woodstock courts for the right to meet Fritz Bastian, 1019 champion, in the challenge round tomorrow afternoon. Things panned out yesterday just the wav fans nredicted when Hennessey defeated Phil Boyd. 6-4, 8-6, and Trask eliminated Jack McKay with 6-0, 7-9, 6-4 scores. The Hennessey-Trask match this afternoon promised to be a corker, and, although Trask has forwarded all his knowledge of the game to Hennessey In their several years of schooling, which is responsible for the youngster's present high standing, Johnny has reached the point where it is time for him to become teacher, and he was eloped to win today. The match was to start at 4 o’clock. MATCH BETWEEN RIVAL LOOMS. A victory over Trask today will bring Hennessey to battle against his old rival. Fritz Bastiar., in the challenge round tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock There is not much talk rtf this match. The fans are simply sitting around and watting for things to happen. Out of their many meetings Fritz holds the advantage over Johnny, but when these two swing into action on the same court a real scrap is always dished out. and neither player wins without showing ail he knows. The story of yesterday’s HennesseyBoyd match is something similar to the yarn about the cat and the mouse, only in this case the mouse was a little livelier than the general run and came near slipping away several times, Boyd's play throughout the tourney has been of the highest caliber and he hs produced plenty of evidence to prove that he is one of the city's coming stars. Hennessey used a lot ’of head work yesterday, mixing up his play every minute. and tried hard to puzzle the youngster, but Phil was on his toes all the time and pulled a few smart tricks himself. GALLERY FREE WITH ATPLAUSE. Most of the points were well played and the gallery was rather liberal with applause throughout the match. In the first set Boyd held a 4 2 lead before Hennessey fell back on his old driving style of play and came to the front for four straight wins. The score was held even up to the 0 all stage of the second set, then Hennessey took Boyd's serve and won bis own with a series of terrific drives that completely bewildered his opponent. Charlie Trask was "right." and. as was expected, had little trouble In defeating lack McKay. The first set score was 6-0, In the second set Jack won. 9-7. but Trask opened up again tu the third frame and won, 6-4. CANADIAN NET RESULTS.

Marty Burke, the New Orleans heavyweight, evidently has the goods. The tip has gone round in boxing circles that the Crescent City youngster is had medicine and already the second raters are beginning to sidestep when his name is mentioned. When Jimmy Johnston returned from New Orleans after watching Burke trim his protege, Al Reich, he informed all his friends that Burke was a real wonder. Torn O'Rourke, who knows a fighter when he sees one, is another great booster for Burke. The veteran manager declares that right now Burke can beat most, of the big fellows, although he lias to give away chunks of weight. When Bob' Martin heard about Burke and how he had beaten up Big Al Reich Martin promptly called off his proposed match with the New Orleans boy. The two had been offered flattering terms by Matt Hinkle of Cleveland for a bout on July 5. Burke had accepted and Martin also was about to close when Burke made mincemeat of Reich. Martin decided that Burke was a good man to leave alone. When Martin decided to refuse the July 5 engagement Burke signed with Willie Meehan for fifteen rounds to a decision at New Orleans. After that Burke Is coming this way in search ot bouts with some of the near stars. Burke is a rangy fellow, well over six feet. He weighs only 168 pounds, which indicates that he is something of a freak in build. From all accounts he has a remarkable left., which he pumps into •an opponent's face with great speed and accuracy. FINED AND SUSPENDED.

ONE INDIANAPOLIS STAR The cream of the nation’s athletes were to match brawn and endurance in four great Olmplc track and field tryouts today in widely scattered cities. Philadelphia, Chicago, New Orleans and Psadena, Cal., were the scenes of these contests to determine eligibles for the final tryouts for the American Olympic team, scheduled for Boston, July 16 and 17. Paul ICoehring, running under the colors of the Indianapolis Athletic and Canoe club, was believed to have an excellent chance of winning the two-mile run in the Chicago meet. Two years ago Koebring took first honors in several of the distance events on the interallied games card in France and since being discharged from the army he has been running for the Canoe club, winning every event he has started in and scoring victories over the classiest distance men in the middle west. There was also a possibility of the Indianapolis boy entering the five-mile grind today. Never before in the history of Olympic competition In this country have there been so many aspirants for the honor of representing Uncle Samuel in the classic Olympiad and never before has interest run so high. The stadiums of three famous universities. Franklin field at Philadelphia, Stagg field at Chicago and Tulane stadium at New Orleans, were the scenes of the eastern, mid-western and southern tryouts, respectively. At Pasadena, Tournament park was to be used. Every * college and athletic club star who aspires to compete for Uncle Bam at Antwerp was carded to get into action in one of the four great meets. A .

They should remain at college until they complete their course instead of running away for a tryout, in Xvhieh the majority fall to moke good. Stay in college, where you can learn things of value in the outside world, and also learn a great deal of baseball. Then you will have plenty of time to get your tryout in the big tent.” Ping’s Big Day Give Ping Bodie credit for one of the busiest days of the season.
