HOOSIERS AFTER REMAINING CONTESTS WITH THE BLUES BEFORE STARTING ROAD JOURNEY
ITRIBEGOESON WESTERN TRIP AfTER TUESDAY K. C. Games Today and Tomorrow Wind Up Indians’ Current Home Stay. DIVIDE SUNDAY BILL
Tribe fans were read/ to hustle out to Washington park again thi afternoon to witness the Indians and Blnea do battle, and tomorrow the rooters will see their favorites in action for the last time until Aug. 28. The games today and tomorrow will ■Kind up the current home stay of the Hooslers, after which they will take a jaunt around the western half of the circuit. Rogge was slated for mound duty this afternoon in the third skirmish with Otto Knabe’s Blues, and despite the fact that a circus was playing next door to Washington park, plenty of fang were expected to be in the stands when the teams lined up. Kansas City grabbed the first Sunday game, 4 to 3, in ten Innings, and then the Indians staged an uprising and walloped the visitors. 17 to 0. Charlie Whitehouse was on the Tribe ifiound in the opener and, though Reynolds of the visitors was good, the K. C. hurler was lucky to get away with the game. 1 ... Whitey pitched his usual big league brand of ball and appeared like a sure winner until some loose support gave the Blues their opportunity. With the Tribe leading 2 to 0 in the fifth, the Blues were given a start after two down and before the Indians could again tighten up they had scored three timc3. The -Indians tied It up by counting one in the sixth, but in the tenth a base on balls started the K. C.’s on their way and the winning run went over when, with two out and a man on second, a grounder eased its way over Wolfs shoulder and tjharlie’s good pitching was wasted. It was a tough game to lose because three of the five hit* obtained oft Whitey were extremely scratchy. In the second contest the Hooslers staged a slugfest and pounded out sixteen hits for seventeen runs. Pug Cavet not only pitched shutout ball, but came through with a Babe Ruth smash out of the park. Pug’s distance clout came In the fourth ining and It was one of the hardest hit balls ever seen at the West Washington street lot. The fans had a great time cheering the tall southpaw as he trotted around the paths because there was no question about that smash, It simply sailed out of the park as if.it had wings. Wolf. Schrelber and Gossett each got three hits In the massacre and Covington and Rehg two apiece. In fact every one hit safely except Shlnners, who had an usualiv poor day with the bludgeon. Manager Knabe used three pitchers in an effort to check the Tribe slugging, but the Hooslers were not to be stopped and they gave each visiting twirler a neat lacing.

HENNESSEY HAS HARD SCHEDULE Preparing for State and National Play—Cops Tristate.
Johnny Hennessey Is back in Indianapolis with the tristate tennis championship added to his list of victories for the season and a determination to make the boys know he Is among them when play opens in the twenty-ninth national tennis championships at Forest Hills, N. Y., Aug. 30, then after his tasks there have been completed, a dash back to Indianapolis and carry off the bacon In the annual Indiana state tournament, carded to open On the I. T. A. courts Sept. 6. johnny's chances of winning the state met are good. His hardest piece of opposition in this event will be the well-' known Fritz Bastlan, and as Johnny has dropped Fritz the only 'two times they have met this year in the Woodstock Invitational and In the tristnte, he is nos losing a bit of sleep over their state match. WILL FACE SEVERE TEST. However, the Indianapolis wonder will have a different row to hoe in the na tional meet and it is doubtful whether he can make this ripple or not. Hennessey will meet the country’s best In this tournament and bis tennis ability will be given a severe test from the moment he takes the court for his first match until he has checked the play off his list. Hennessey, when Just a strip of a laa, weut to the final stages of his first national Junior tournament on the Forest Hills courts, being defeated by Chuck Garland. Since that time he has practically lived with a tennis racquet in his hand and Indianapolis net enthusiasts believe that his play at this time will carry him to a number of victories in the national event. There are a lot of players In the country today whose superiority over Hennessey Is not questioned, because of greater experience, but there are very few of them who have anything on the local boy when It comes down to a question of speed, endurance and fight-, lng qualities. / Hennessey ran a aeries of circles around Walter Westbrook, western conference and Cleveland city champion, to win the trl-state championship on the Ft. Wayne Country club courts yesterday. The score* were: 8-10, 6-1, 6-3, 6-3 Paired with Frtta Bastlan, another Indianapolis starlight, Hennessey also took nls share of the doubles honors by defeating Westbrook and Simmons, the Cleveland team, 6-3, 6-4. 2-6. 5-7, 6-1. Mrs. Howard Cordes of Cincinnati won the third leg and permanent possession of the women’s singles trophy by defeating Miss Ruth King of CleveUnd. 61, 60. The King-Each team defeated the Cordes-Rask combination, 8-10, 11-Jt, 6-3, in the women’s doubles championship tilt. OHIOAN WINDED IN FIRST SET. Hennessey was so confident of defeating Westbrook Saturday that he did a little experimenting In the first set, that of wearing his opponent down, . then walking away from him In the next three. He forced Westbrook to play from ever* angle of the court In the first round, hitting every ball hard and refusing to play the safe game when It seemed the best bet. And Hennessey was correct in his guess that ha' could "wind’’ the Clevelander. Westbrook played great tennis In the first set, eating up everything that caaj his way, but the work took every ounce of strength that he possessed and the second, third and fourth sets reminded one of a race between a livery stable horse and a thoroughbred. When Hennessey started out to win the match he had everything his way from the word go. His shots had double the speed that the Clevelander’s r carried and never was hi# driving more j accurate. There has been a lot of talk about the wonderful back hand work of Westbrook an<l some said last week that she would beat Hennessey with" these : strokes if the Indianapolis boy did not watch his step. Hennessey evidently wanted the fans to know he was defeating Westbrook at every angle of the game, because he gave him every opportunity In the world to show his favorite style, then brought his own backhand Into action and proved that It was superior. Hennessey and Bastlan won the first I two seta of their doubles match with Westbrook and Simmons, dropped the i next two, then walked off with the fifth, I dropping only one game. It Is understood that Johnny and Frits are planning to work together In ;he doubles from now on, and they will no doubt develop into one of the festest combination* In the country. Mrs Howear Cordes had little trouble in defeating Miss Ruth King In the women s finals. It was no hard lob i.j pick the winner of the match after toe first few games of the opening set had been played. Miss King was slightly off form, but could not have hoped for a win if she was playing her greatert vame. In the doubles, Miss King got revenge by teaming with Miss Esch and handing the Cordes-Rask pair a trimming in a long-drawn-out argument.

Resener Marks Up Third Golf Victory iti Titular Circles Veteran Is State Champ Again,; Following Win Over Sparks at Kokomo.
x KOKOMO, Ind., Aug. 9.—Age, bolstered by experience, conquered youth, handicapped by lack of experience, and the proDhecies of the old-time golfers were rulrlled to the letter when Bobby Resener of Kokomo ploughed along like- the steady old war horse that he 18 and eliminated Baxter Sparks of Terre Haute, a youth of brilliant play, but whose nerves have not yet learned to stand up under the grind of tournament work, In the finals of the state golf tournament here Saturday! Resener was 9 up with Bto play. ThlsMs the third time that Resener has won the state title. Resener had everything a golfer could want, and then a little more, Saturday. His drives, for the most part, were true as a ship’s compass, arid his approaching and putting was a treat to the large gallery that followed the match. The match was all square at the end of the first nine boles. The youngster held up well this far and was looking more like championship stuff every minute. However, 1 on the second nine he started slipping, and when the morning round was finished he stood five down. Resener won the last four holes in the morning round and started the afternoon by winning the first four. Bparks played lower than his standard in this eight holes, and It appeared as though he would fizzle out In the afternoon play, but after the first four of the last eighteen holes he tightened up and traveled fairly even with the vet, but could not cut down his lead. Resener, the champion, though now of the Kokomo club, learned most of hts golf at Indianapolis, a member of the Riverside club. Several of tbe golfers who competed In the state event will be seen shooting for honors In the national open tournament at Toledo. Johnny Simpson, C. E. Prange, James Edwards and Herman Deupree will undertake to get the name of Indianapolis on the national open match. Bobby Resener will ba on* of the
AN INNING WITH THE AMATEURS
The South Side Turners proved that unbeatable teams aren’t unbeatable when they slipped the Trojans a 9-to-4 trimming on Riverside diamond No. 1 yesterday, while scores of fans looked on in amazement. A single, double and circuit blow by Goett, Rafferty and MeF.lfresch, respectively, gave the Turners three runs In the first Inning. Motts started on the mound for the Trojans but didn’t last ldng. Pat Lucid, who warmed the bench for the Trojans last Sunday, stepped in for the Turners yesterday and collected a triple, two doubles and a single. Looks like Mr. Trojan used lad judgment. Tbe South Side Colts vs. Vet game at Garfield Sunday morning was replete with thrilling arguments and challenges to mortal combat that amounted to a Vet victory. 11 to 10. Joe Waite, who used to swing a wicked club In the semipro ranks,, put the Vets on their feet with a home run in the eighth, two men scoring ahead of him. Beryl DUlihay started catching for the Vets but went to the bench ero many Innings were played. “Cotton” Fullen looked hot on the coaching lines, but he didn’t have a thing on the honorable "doctor” Zeller, who coached and rode the donkey. Pat Lucid, playing the part of Dynamite in the little playlet colled “Mystery Men,” was there with three Vet blows. The Romillas A. C.’s seem determined to keep on -boasting of their early season win over the Rupp Juniors. They failed to show for their game at Riverside. Some of the Glp Skippers went to Marlon Saturday to tell Mr. Cox that he has been nominated to carry the democratic presidential banner. Some of them cot back O. K. and some didn’t, Dan Scanlon being among the latter. The Hopkins brothers pitched and batted the Willards to a win over Hall,
spectators, having failed to ger bis entry filed In time. Baxter Sparks, state runner-up, has entered ttys Toledo event and Is expected to make a good showing . Richard Patten of Kokomo Is another state contestant who will be in the big show.
