SERIES WITH MILWAUKEE OPENS, WITH TRIBE HOPEFUL OF CONTINUING WINNING DRIVE
INDIANS STEP OUT TO ANNEX MORE LAURELS Hear Praises Sung at Baseball Luncheon, Then Tangle With Brewers. SCOUTS WATCH HENLINE Baseball enthusiasm of the explosive brand was on tap In this city today as Jack Hendricks’ Indians prepared to make their second-place bow to the home fans. First on the day's program was a baseball luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce, where the popular athletes heard their praises sung over the festive board by Mayor Jewett, John B. Reynolds, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and others. Then came the ball game at the West Washington street lot with Jack Egan's Milwaukee Brewers serving In the capacity of the opposition. Due to the fact that the ball team has established such a remarkable record In coming up from last place to the run-ner-up position in the pennant fight, the Chamber of Commerce and mayor's office decided some sort of an official greeting should be given, hence the baseball luncheon. The affair was to be held at the Chamber of Commerce, starting at 12:15, and was open to all fans. Between bites baseball talk prevailed, and following speeches by John B. Reynolds ar.d Mayor Jewett. Manager Jack Hendricks told how the Indians amnaged to do It. The series opener with the Brewers this afternoon was expected to see a big attendance with plenty of rooting because the Tribesmen need every ounce of sup port now If they are to continue winning and thereby remain in a position to overtake the leading Saints. The Milwaukee clnb will be here four da vs. after which the mighty Saints como to town for a series that is expected to develop into a whiabang event. Already ftins are making reservations for cents for the Saturday and Sunday contests and record crowds are promised. However, the rabid rooters are not going to wait until Sunday, they were prepared to rush out to Washington park this afternoon and see their favorites per- , form. i The Milwankee club Is not an easy | one to defeat by any means and the ; Indians were not entering the series todav without anticipating a hard struggle. j The Brewers have a bunch of sluggers and are always dangerous. Hap . Huhn, Indianapolis boy, Is one of Egan’s heavy hitters ' I Owner Smith and Manager Hendricks went through considerable handshaking yesterday as fans continued to shower them with congratulations for the won- i derful drive staged by the team and It Is needless to say that the Tribe officials will continue to put forth every effort to keep the Hoosiers up in the pennant ! hunt.
Around the A. A. - Scouts representing the New York Giants. Detroit Americans, Brooklyn Nationals and Chicago Cabs have made quiries regarding the qualifications or Catcher Butch Henline. Butch is hitting better than .300, holding up the Tribe pitchers in fine style and in addition he is a youngster, which menus a whole lot when scouts are looking for major league talent. The Indians will not think of parting with Henline, however, until the A. A. closes. Catcher Dick Gossett, the reliable veteran, has been bothered with an injnry, but in the last few games he haß caught he went big in all departments. Gaw. the new hurler obtained from the Cubs, is anxious to show his stuff and he will be given the chance shortly. Duke Reilley has plenty of stories to tell the evening gatherings regarding the swing around the circuit. The Colonels put another dent in the Toledo hopes **sterday. Hap Huhn's south side admirers will be out in full force during the Milwaukee series. They're strong for Hap. but prefer to have him do his hard hi’ting lu other park3. Eddie Zwilling, partner in the tailoring firm of Douglas & Zwilling, feels capable of whacking ut a few more long ones. Wonder rthat Ollio O'Marst and Cal Crum are thinking about these days? Clint Kogge was slated to open on th<mound against rbe Brewers this after noon. Owner Smith says fear of California earthquakes will not deter him from taking the Indians west to play the coast league champs if his Indians overtake the Salats. Til be willing to take 'em to-China if they keep this pace up," says the jovial Tribe boss. Jimmy Smith and Hank Schreiber are gi fog like the wind around tho keystone sack. One of the outstanding features of the Indians’ great comeback has been the hitting of Walter Itehg. Walter started the season in a terrible batting slump and row be is up among the league’s swatters Dave Johnson, groundkeejier, has the pari: in fine shape for “his pennant winners," be says.

Old Guard of Giant Fans Still Pulls for Sight of Slipping Larry Doyle NEW YORK, Jttly 27—The older f*ua who trek to th* Polo grounds to yell Ilka wild Indians for tho Glanto In victory or defeat viewed with sadness the recent benching of the veteran Larry Doyle and not without reason. Doyle hft* been an Institution at ths polo ground* for so runny rears that to see the Giant* line up without Smiling Larry holding down the keystone sack Is like seeing the Cardinal* mlnua Hornn, v or the Braves with Marsnville missing. There la no doubt that Doyle has about reached the end of hla string as n major league star. But that docs not figure from a sentimental standpoint, for Doyle has always been popular Thus, hla relegation to the bench was a drab sight to th* older fans, as was i the raising he oft-*n took from some of : the younger generation when he failed to deliver In n pinch. There la an element that attends games at Polo grounds that Is altogether devoid of sentiment. It Is the betting clement that think* more ,>f winning a del lar than it doe* of the feeling* of a | plaver who falls to come through when a timely hit or a well executed fielding piny iuy mean a victory. This element ragged Doyle at every opportunity, and fhnu-rb he never at- ; tempted to "get hack" at his turuiontor# he could not help hearing their Jibes.
