The win yesterdav was costly, however, because Jess Petty, sturdy southpaw, turned an ankle and probably will be out of the game for two weeks. The loss of Petty at this stage of the race is a terrific blow to the team because the twirling staff is short one man as it stands. Therefore, it looks as If it is up to Manager Hendricks to start burning np the wires again in an effort to land a hurler to help out Caret, Jones, Rogge and Whltehouse. The contest yesterdav went only five: Innings, due to a midafternoon shower,' but players and fans alike were glad the mined terminated hostilities because the Hoosiers were fairly slaughtering the locals. Tex Covington's bitting featured, the big fellow getting a home run and two doubles, driving In three runs and scoring one himself. Petty was injured, after he had cleaned \tfce liases with a triple in the second. Following his long hit he scored on II 'inter s infield rap asd turned an ankle v.' ifn sliding for the plate. Cavet finished on the mound and took things • 'ey while his mates continued their bombardment with the bat. Duke Reilley was not in uniform. Hunter playing left field. The Duke is ■ tiering with an infected toe and probably will not get back in action until seme time in the Milwaukee series. The Hoosiers made six runs in the second frame yesterday and believed they were out to do something similar in a hitting way this afternoon. LONG ONE BY KIRKLIX. XOBLESVILI.E. Ind..

Around the A. A. WITH gDDIE ASH Jim Galloway, former Tribe infielder, is owner, president, manager, captain and second baseman of the Ranger club of the West Texas league. He drifted Into the oil game down there and then helped establish a league. Improvement is noted in the playing of Schrelber. His fielding improved with his hitting. Wonder what Ollle O'.Mara Is thinking about these days? Alexander Duke Rellley reports that he's for A. Reilley’s batting average first and James M. Cox second. Benny Kauff, recently dropped from the majors in a “mystery deal," Is playing certer field and batting second for Toronto. The injury to Petty places a heavy load on the Tribe's’ short pitching staff, but perhaps a quick deal can be made for another hurler. Necessity often gets results. , The achievement of the Hoosiers In pulling up from last place to fourth position is attracting wide attention. A few more victories and they’ll be passing tho Hens. Herb Hifnter Is getting ft workout in the versatile stuff. He has played first base, third base and outfield since joining the team. "When Jess Petty was initired Jack Hendricks probably sprouted a few more gray hairs. Stryker relieved Dubuc on the mound for the Hens yesterday with St. I‘ntil leading, and hit a home run, evening the counl. It was a costly hom-r, howiver, because the Saints eventually won and Stryker was charged with the defeu t.

CITY NET MEN STACK UP WELL Show Improvement in Title Play—Women Active. The field in both the men’s and women's division of the Indianapolis Tennis championship tournament* nr the Hawthorn courts is narrowing down rapidly, and at this stage of the game it is rather hard to predict the feature matches. The ‘ennte played this year Is much better than that of previous tourneys and some of the “ordinaries’’ of past seasons are showing enough form this to be conaldcfed dangerous contenders for laurels that have heretofore been monopolized by Johnny Hennessey and Fritz Hastlan. Bastian is not entered in the city meet this year and he has nothing to worry about, but Johnny Hennessey is out there fighting for honors and be has a big Job on his hands. George Htarbuck, Ralph Cox, Frank Cox, "Minie" Ivohn, Watt Pugh, Bob Bastian and Bill Erwin have all the earmarks of developing into real -for sure “dark horses" at this time and there is no telling what might happen before the curtain drops. All of these players have been ’’pie" for Hennessey in past years and there is no reason to believe that ne can not thump them this year except that they have been cutting some peculiar capers recently and all seem a bit -more determined to cop th title than ever before. HENNESSEY SAME OLD FAVORITE. This isn't saying that Hennessey Is in a bad way. Nothing like it: he is also soaking the pill a little better this season and carries himself around the courts in a different way than before. There is just a bit more pep In his play, more speed and accuracy in his shots and less of that nervousness in his actions that has been noticeable in years gone by. In other words, Jqhnny Roks like the coining champion. The women are also arousing more than the usual Interest with their splendid play in the present tourney. There is no "fluffy ruffles’ about them this time. They are going after each other with hammer and tongs all the white. It was probable that the semi finais in both the men's and women's single* would be played off this afternoon and at the present time all signs point to the final scraps being played Monday afternoon. Jack McKay and Hennessey gave the fans their big freat yesterday. Jack is an old-timer with a lot of tenni* stuff in his noodle and Johnnie took a good workout before he registered bis 6-4, 6-3 victory. The youngster’s shots were working to perfection, nut McKay had a lot of pep and sent several “imposslblea” sailing back over the net. Hennessey welcomed this fhateb, because he is working hard to get in shape for the tristate meet at Ft. Wayne, and he had the opportunity to show all he had yesterday. Hence orme. Jr., is rapidly becoming a nuzzle to the fans. He lost a match to Henry Ankenhroek in the Junior finais Thursday afternoon. Yesterday lie took the court with Stuart and won easily, 6-1, 63. , • , Then Orme swung Into action against Julius Sagalowsky. and was defeated, after winning the first set. The scores were 3-6, 6-4, 6-8. NEEDS TO BI'ILD l P ENDURANCE. Young Hence 1* a strapping youth and look* like he might be able to play a dozen sets without tiring, but from the way he slowed up In his second match yesterday it looks a* though two or three good sets is about his limit for one day. Sagalowsky must be given, a lot of credit for his win. He Is far better than the average youth of his size jnd uses the Judgment of a veteian on the courts. ✓ H-nnsh and Margaret Noon are two of the smallest aad most promising prosleets that have played Yn the womers meet. They wero put out of {he running yesterday by Mrs I. W*tt Pugh ana Lucille Bn ilev, respectively, hut this shouldn't count neavliy sgainsv them.
Guv Dixon, the youngster who had a tough time winning the boys' championship from Chic Davidson, easily defeated Cash, one of tho older boys, yesterday. Little Miss Haworth Is showing a lot of stuff in her first tournament games. He who said, “yon never can tel! in baseball,” should give things at Hawthorn the “double O” these days. The old park cop and the Hawthorn club Joined force*. No autos are allowed to stop ou the boulevard these days. YESTERDAY’S RESULTS. MEN’S SINGLES.
