TRIBE BADLY IN NEED OF PITCHERS TO AID TEAM RETAIN BERTH IN THE FIRST DIVISION

INDIANS HOLD UP IN GAMES FOR WEEK-END Tribe Shows Two Out of Three Wins for Saturday and Sunday. SPLIT DOUBLE BILL Jack Hendricks' Indians managed to cling to their fourth-place berth orer the week-end and today were to clash for the third time with the Brewers at Milwaukee. Closing at Kansas City Saturday the Hooslers battled out a 4 to 3 victory when Corington and Zwilling hit home runs in the eighth, making it a clean sweep OTer Knabe's men. Following that contest the tribe made a long distance sprint for Milwaukee, where a double-header was staged Sunday. Charlie Whitehouse got away to a bad start in the first half of the Sunday card and Jack Egan's outfit copped it, 9 to 3, but Rogge served ’em in the second fracas and the Indians won, 3 to 1 Whitehouse evidently hadn’t recovered from the eighteen-inning struggle he won in Kansas City, and his control was bad yesterday. Asa result the Tribe southpaw had to “stick ’em over” and the Brewers slammed out sixteen hits, making It an easy matter to win. The second game Sunday was more of a ball game, with Rogge and Reinhardt engaging In a pitching duel. The vHoosier was the more effective, however, and opportune hitting by Shinners and Smith won the game. Reinhardt started off in a manner that made the Indians pale, but the lighting spirit of the Hendricksmen finally was aroused and they started to solve the Brewer hurler's slants in the fifth. Pug Cavet was slated to pitch in the third Brewer contest at Milwaukee this afternoon. With Petty in this city suffering from a sprained ankle the Tribe pitching staff is in a sorry plight and unless Manager Hendricks is able to obtain "help it is feared that the team will start ■Upping again this week. BLUES GET HURLER. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 12.—Announcement was made here that Harry Weaver, a pitcher with the Oakland (Cal.i clnb of the Pacific Coast league, had been purchased by the local American association team.

C.'s and Cuban Stars were to resume their series at Washington park this afternoon ad Manager Taylor's team was ready to make a terrific effort to even up for the defeat handed it yesterday in a five-inning contest. Rain hatted the game Sunday with the Cubans holding a 5 to 1 lead and as a result only five Innings of the first game of the scheduled double-header were played. . , Charleston starred for the locals in The few Innings played when he got a double and a single. Manager Taylor has a flock of new players coming up from Texas for tryouts and they probably will be here for Tuesday’s game. The Cubans have bolstered their lineup since their first visit here and the A. B. C.’s must strengthen In order to hold their own. Archie Erehardt at Tech Announcement that Archie Erehardt, former footbafl and track star at Indiana university, has teen appointed a member of the Technical High school facility has caused no small bit of comment In local sport circles. It is the consensus of opinion that Krehardt will have charge of the Tech football squad next fall. H* was a great player In his day, and if appointed coach here he surely will turn out a strong eleven at the east side school. Man-o’-War Repeats NEW YORK.

WILD RACE IN MAJOR LEAGUES Cleveland and Brooklyn Hold Leads by Threads. Cleveland in the American leads by a half game and Brooklyn Is setting the National pace with a one-game margin. That Is the condttion of affairs that exists now in the major league races. The National league, with a little more than a dozen games separating the leaders from the cellar holders, has about as much stability as a feather in a whirlwind. Last week Mitchell’s men split even in eight games, but the Cubs hopped from fifth to third place. The Reds won only three out of seven games and they dropped out of tha lead by only one game. The Dodgers won eight out of nine starts and got in the’ lead by only one game. The Cards and Pirates won four out of nine games and dropped down a notch. The inability of the Braves, the Giants and the Phils to move out of the lower regions is the only consistent part of the race. At the halfway mark it looks like Cleveland, New York and Chicago for the real battle in the American league. Chances for the pennants in both leagues appear to depend chiefly upon pitching. Sets Cycle Record in Olympic Trial Races NEAV YORK, July 12.—J. B. Freeman, St. Loui/, set anew world’s bicycle record for 108 miles yesterday In winning the Olympic trial races over the Floral Park (L. I.) course. He pedaled the distance In 5:24:50.
