INDIANS BATTLE TO CLIMB BACK ON WINNING STRIDE AFTER BEING HALTED BY TOLLM

TRIBE STRIVES TO BREAK UP HENS’DEFENSE Failure to Score Wednesday Fills Indians With Desire to Pound Ball. STRYKER CHECKS CLIMB TOLEDO, July L—The Indians today were filled with a reTolutlonary spirit and were prepared to invade Swayne field this afternoon with bats loaded with base hits. Failure to score yesterday, when the Hens beat them, 4 to 0, caused some nervousness among the Hooslers, but the majority looked upon the shutout defeat merely as a one-day slump and they promised Manager Hendricks to pile up sufficient runs today to put the team back on its winning stride. The Hoosiers can afford to lose once in a while, but even one defeat is exasperating because they suffered so many cariy in the season that even a single day's letdown creates the fear that another slump may be impending. The bad part of Wednesday’s game was the fact that, the Hoosiers were shut out, but it seemed that little could be done with Stryker’s slants and the brilliant support given him by his Hen mates. Only one Tribesmen got as far as third, which Is evidence enough that the Indians were cheeked for at least a day in their mad dash up the A. A. ladder. The same umpires that officiated Tuesdav. when they were rushed by the Toledo fans, directed the play yesterday and thev didn’t take any chances on another near riot, so careful vere they to see that the Hens got all the better of everything. Umps Murray, who is supposed to be fearless, was the offender against the Indians, and he gave them so little that they didn’t have much of a chance to pull anything close. Petty started on the mound for the Hoosiers. and he was poorly supported, especially in center field, where Walter Rehg had a bad day with the sun on fly ball*. Two of the hoists in Walter’s direction t for extra base hits because the e center fielder was unable to locate the ball in the glare. Failure to hit Stryker’s offerings consistently, however, was th.j ch’.er cause of the defeat, and for that reason the Hoosiers felt they were due for plenty of hits and runs In today's skirmish. The final game will be played w}th the Hens tomorrow, afetr which the Indians will move to Louisville, meeting the Colonels Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Around the A. A. 1— —WITH £DDIE ASH— Pietty soft for the Saints. The A. A. leaders blanked the poor old Blues twice yesterday. The Saints have not been against in the last thirty-nine innings. All of which again leads to the question: Who’s going to stop the Saints? Perhaps fate will take a hand and throw the leaders into a slump about the time the Indians invade the northwest. The Sainta haven't slumped for two seasons. The Millers and Brewers scheduled a double-header and then played two extrainning games, the Millers taking the first In eleven innings and the second going to & tie In thirteen Innings. Evidently the Toledo rowdies had Umpires Murray and MeGloon still frlgbtcnAtatesterday. All close plays went to ' i w - K. Stewart Company of this city will donate an Ed Harmon yarn, entitled “There s No Base Bike Home,’’ to Indianapolis players hitting home runs. Now when Eddie Zwilling dresses up in his home run haberdashery and finds no place to go he can remain in his room and read some snappy Harmon stuff. Big League Stuff Six home runs featured yesterday’! double-header between the Tanks and Athletics, the Yanks winning both games, oto B and 10 to 6. Kuth’s twenty-third home run of the season scored the winning run in the first game, and his twen-ty-fourth circuit driTe broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning of the second contest. The Cincy P.eds brought more cheer to the home fans yesterday when they blanked the Cardinals. Jess Haines, Card ace, opposed Ruetber, Red ace. Haines allowed only four hits, but his support was bad. The Pirates got only one hit off Vaughn of the Cubs and the Windy City outfit demonstrated that it Is atlil in the National pennant hunt. The poor Giants took a double beating at the hands of the Dodger?. Poor Giants is right this season. The Red Sox and Nationals split a twin 'bill. Gharrity bnsted a homer. The Tigers lost another even after drafting old Jack Coombs for pitching duty. No matter what the Tigers do they lose. . The Cleveland Indians used four pitchers, but lost. Six runs were put over by the Browns in the first tiling. Johnston got a circuit clout. Ruth was not the only star to drive out two home runs yesterday. Perkins of the Athletics getting one in each game of the twin bill with the Yanks. When Rogers Hornsby tore off a single In the first inning at Cincinnati yesterday he made his 100th hit of the season, and he is the first batter in the National league to reach that figure. Sisler of the St. Louis Browns made his 100th hit only a few days ago. The Cincy Reds yesterday obtained Eddie Sicking by the waiver route, and he will report at once. He has been with the Giants since the start of the season and has played a good many games at third base and also at second. He is a thoroughly competent inflelder in any position and will add to the reserve strength of the Reds. Kearns Sends Another Hot Shot at Frenchie Regarding Title Bout DENVER, July I.—Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, the pugilistic king, has sent the following message to Francois Descamps, manager of George* Carpentier, who Is now in New York: “Your challengo of Carpentier to fight Dempsey, made on your arrival in this country, was accepted by the champion at the time, but you later stated that Carpentier would wait until Dempsey was cleared of draft evasion charges. “The champion was cleared of that charge in seven minutes by a Jury, and It was proven that he was made a martyr to satisfy certain people. “Immediately after Dempsey's aoqnittal he challenged Carpentier and gave Carpentier a week in which to accept the challenge. Instead of Carpentior or yourself accepting that challenge, you immediately booked passage on a steamship July 10 for Europe for Carpentier ana yourself and failed to accept that challenge. “I wish to inform you -now that 1 will arrive In New York before you sail for Europe on or about July 0 or 7, prepared to sign articles and post a forfeit for a DempseyXlarpentier match and surely hope you and Carpentier era willing to do likewise before sailing, for
