Drivers Turn Last Lap in Practice for Race Over Elgin Road Course

ELGIN, 111., Aus. 20.—The ten drivers entered In the annual 250-mile Elgin road race, scheduled tomorrow, had their cars on the track early this morning so as to reap all the benefits of the final day's practice. Sending his Duesenberg around the course in C:l9, Tommy Milton, winner of last year's race, came within six seconds of the late Spencer VVishart's record yesterday afternoon. It was Milton'a second practice spin. Milton turned three other fast laps, his slowest time being 6:26 1-5, and the railbirds were well pleased with his work. Eddie O’Donnell, one of Milton's teammates, was out for another whirl over the track yesterday, but could not coax any spectacular speed out of his mount. Ralph DePalma, winner of five previous Elgin races, took a few speedy trips around the course in his French Ballott. The famous Itallau tore off a lap In 8:15 in 1914.

ROOKIE IN CHAPMAN’S PLACE

ms f' ‘ '

The death of Ray Cbapmau stands ont as one of the great tragedies of baseball. It was difficult for fandom In general to believe that this brilliant player—the best shortstop In the game this season—and for some seasons—had been fatally injured by a blow from a pitched bail. Apparently Chapman' death, besides being a loss to his friend* and to the game in gener.il, blots out Cleveland's chanoes for the pennant. Chapman's brilliant fielding and peppery play at short and his batting made him one of the most valuable members of the team. Manager Speaker believe that a rookie. Harrv Lunte, is the best man available to fill the vacancy and Lunte is an untried plaver. He faces the toughest task in baseball, that of filling a star's role. Cleveland fans will be pulling for him or any one that Speaker places at short, hut the future doesn't look very bright to their way of thinking. Lunte's case, however, calls to mind that of Fred McMullin, White Sox Infielder. Back in 1917 McMullin was

Big League Stuff

The ©rippled Cleveland Indian* yesterday made the series two ont of three In their own favor when they whipped Bob Shawkey for the first time this season and stepped the Yanks, 3 to 2. Babe Rath soeked his forty-third home run of the 1920 season. Ivy Wingo drove the winning run home for the Reds with a long double, the Dodgers succumbing In the thirteenth inning, 3 to 2. The Phillies accomplished a victory over the Pirates in twelve innings, 5 to 2. Hub Leonard turned a form somersault and held the Red Sox to three hits, defeating them for the Tigers, 4 to 0. Chief Bender lilt the limelight with a no-hlt, no-run game in the Eastern league. Bender, pitching for New Haven, faced the Bridgeport team. Only twenty-seven men faced the tall Indian In nine Innings, the one man who got on base being thrown out stealing. New Haven won the game, 3 to 0. “Home-Run' Baker may resume playing ball with the New York Yankees this season. It was reported today. He Is oi. the Yankees’ reserve list and was said to be anxious to help New York win the pennant.

Kiwanis Win Again

Kiwanis beat the Amerlran club, 15 to 12, In the second round of the Indianapolis Business Men’s championship series at Riverside park yesterday afternoon. Both clnbs showed up well vesterday and the game was one of the best that has been staged by the business men this season. Klwanis won their flrat round game from the Kotarlans and are confident that they can trim the Otplmis s. the fourth club In the loop, In their sched uled Sept. 5 game. This afternoon the Optimists and Rotwiana were to straighten out their second round matters at Washington park. Proceeds of all games are donated Salvation Army.

Shortstop Harry Lunte.

'.arming tne Chicago bench—had been for two years. He looked like a comer, but in brief chances had been nervous and erratic. Then Buck Weaver suffered an Injury int put him out of the game for six weeks. McMullin was given his place at third. The kid stepped in and played such a brilliant game that when Weaver was ready to play Buck was sent to short and McMullin kept ou third. The youngster's playing put the team Into the pennant fight where it seemed as though they were In an Indefinite slump. Lunte's minor league experience inc’uded stay* with Burlington aud Marshalltown in the Central association. In 1917 Cleveland obtained him in the tit from Mobile in the Southern association. But the war Interrupted his tay. He has been carried as utility inflelder by Speaker, who believes the and is a comer. He fields well and is a fair hitter. It may he that tbe same fate which struck down Chapman at the height of his career has written It that this shall ibe Lunte’s chance. Who knows?

Cleveland Next on Intercity Card for Local Tennis Stars

Johnny Ilennessey, tri-state champion, and Fritz Bastian will represent Indianapolis against. Harold Bartel and Walter Westbrook, tri-state runner-up, In the Cleveland-Indlanapolls inter-city tennis matches at Cleveland Saturday afternoon. Hennessey has defeated Westbrook twice this year and it is not likely that Cleveland will give him another chance at the western conference tltl holder tomorrow. Therefore, it probably will be Hennessey vs. Bartel and Bastian vs. Westbrook In the singles play. In the doubles match, Hennessey and Bastian, tri-state champions, will meet the same pair that they oppose in tbe singles. Indianapolis, by virtue of the recent '.-lean sweep over the Cleveland team on ,the I. T. A. courts, holds first place in the inter-city standing, and with Bastian dnr Ilennessey paired for the remainder of the schedule. It looks as though the Hoosier capital has the big chance to get away with the championship

HIGH SCHOOLS PICK BEST FOR GRID LEADERS Coaches Erehart, Evans and Julius Capable of Putting Strong Elevens Afield. EACH HAS GOOD RECORD

HIGH SCHOOL GRID COACHES. Manual Ralph Evans, Morningside college. Sbortridge—Rabih Julius, Indiana university. Technical—Archie Erehart, Indiana university. With football on the Indianapolis high school athletic program for the 1920-21 season for the first time in thirteen years. Manual, Shortridge and Technical have been fortunate in securing the services of three men who have won their spurs on the country’s gridirons to coach their respective elevents. indications are that before the coming season closes football will have taken its proper place right up beside basketball in the hearts of Indianapolis youngsters preparing for entry into college. During the years that football was outlawed in Indianapolis schools, local athletes who went from Manual, Shortridge or Tech up to the college ranks were forced to the rear of the athletic stage for the first year or two because of thelc. lack of football knowledge and oxperli ence. COLLEGE WEAKENED BY THEIR LOSS. This, naturally, weakened the football standing of several of the smaller colleges throughout the state that depend on Indianapolis to supply m<>st of their students, but jhiugs will be different from now on. Indianapolis high school students ure ! about ready to set sail on the football 1 seas under the guiding hand of experti cnced mentors and there is no doubt j hut that some high class talent will be turned out here e\ery year, j Ralph Evans, the man chosen to tutor the Manual eleven, cornea to Indianapolis with a record that will stand against that of any high school coach. Evans is a graduate and former football star of Morningside college. After finishing his college career he attended Znppke’s coachers’ school w'tb highest honors Since that time he has been coaching lu Nebraska and has dope his work well Las: year Evans coached the Omaha high school football champions of Nci brnsku and the basketball runners-up In the Nebraska state high school tournament . His basketball and football teams have always been among the topnotchers. ami , lie has turned out several youngsters who later made names for themselves [in the college field. I.rchle Erehart. newly appointed Tech football coach i id athlaih- director, is • tememhered by >ooc who have kept tab on college football for the last few years us one of the most brilliant and brainy players turned out at Indiana unlverdty. Archie's name is Inscribed in large gold letters on the Indiana football book of fame. He and hi* brother, Mickey Erehart. are considered two of the greatest baekfleld men turned out at Indians in recent years. Archie Erehart started his career in the Huntington High school, learning the rudiments of the game from the famous old timer. “Daddy” Gray, former Indluna university guard, and "Fat” King, who played center at Indiana and Harvard. Erehart was coached by three different men at Indiana, Jimmy Sheldon being athletic director wheu Erehart was a freshman ; Childs, the former Yale *tar, coached him for two years, and i ''Jumbo'' fttiehm, present athletic dlrec- , tor at the Crimson school, put the finishing touches on his training. Arcnle Erehart was all-state halfback and given honorable mention on the allwestern team durlug bis last two years In college Jl LIl si ALSO INDIANA MAN. Ralph Julius is another product of Indiana university. He wus iU< a star player in his day and regarded s otia of the fastest big men who ever tramped a field, Julius knows football through, and there Is no reason why he should not be able to throw his knowledge of : the game Into the Shortridge youngsters who will work under him this season. There is a movement on foot at this time to have alt members of the Shortridge alumni to attend the first practice of the Shortridge eleven in an effort to 1 *how the athletes that they are behind them from the word go. j Old Shortridge jilayera are anxious to ' see the blue and white football banner agatn hoisted in the breeze and those of them who can do so conveniently will : be out to assist Coach Julius in rounding out his machine. The finance committee of the board of ! school commissioners reported at the regular board meeting last night that an appropriation of $2,000 had been voted , each Indianapolis high school for the purpose of financing the to. tbnll elevens Tbe principals of the schools, at last : week's meeting, expressed their belief : that the money can be repaid through the i gate receipts the coming season.

Carpentier Stands Ready to Meet Jack for World*s Title Has Confidence in Himself, but Manager Descamps Stands in Way.

By H. C. HAMILTON, International Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—1f Georges Carpentier, the European heavyweight champion, does not meet Jack Dempsey, the world's champion, * when he returns to this country in the rail, it will be no fault of Georges. Francois Descamps, the astute little manager of the Frenchman, is the obstacle In thv way of such a match, if there is an obstacle. He holds Demjsey in much more solemn respect than does the fighter himself. These facts were ascertained here today in a talk with the French fighter’s trainer, M. Wilson. TRAINER WILSON EXPLAINS MATTERS. “It is Georges' greatest ambition to meet Dempsey.” said Wilson. “It is, I I might say, his heart's desire. He wants to__fight for the world s championship \ and he believes he can win it. I believe he has an excellent chance of winning from Dempsey, for I have seen the American champion In training and believe I am fair enough judge of a fighter to make a close comparison between champion and challenger. “There isn't a great deal of difference in the size of the men. I had been led |to believe that Dempsey was much larger than he really Is. On the other hand, I have found to my surprise that the champion la very fast and very dangeroua. CHAMP FASTER THAN EXPECTED. “I had expected to see a alow, lumbering giant, with a slow punch that would be easy for Georges to avoid. I found ; instead a very shrewd, very fast manone fully capable of defending the title ! against any one.” It became known today through a reI mark by Jack Curley, who signed Carpentier and Levlnsky for the bout which Is now scheduled for Ebbetts field, Brooklyn, for October 12. that Charles Cochran, the London promoter, haa been trying to get Carpentier to fulfill bis contract with Cochran calling for a Dempaey-Carpentier match, in the United States. Descamps, according to Curley, declined to talk the matter over, stating that Curley was his American representative.

‘Our Mike’ Kelly Shows Improved Hitting Form and Nears .300 Class

MIKE k'ELLY. Now that he has developed his batting form sufficiently to smack the bail fyr something like a .300 average, Mike Kelly, Indianapolis boy with the Columbus Senators, Is rapidly becoming one of the maiusfa-y players in the American association. Mike started the season with Toledo and a lot of bad luck. IDs arm was rather doubtful and it worried hlui. Then the presence of McNeill and Murphy kept him from getting in his work behind the bat, but he went to first base to take the place of Holdout Hyatt and was golug good in that position until Hyatt decided to return. Later Mike was sold to the Senators and since joining that club he has been going good in all departments, alternating between catcher and first base. Kelly has plenty of “pep” and his many Indianapolis friends are confident that he will finish the season hitting in the coTeted .300 class.

INDIANS OPEN LAST TIME IN K. C. QUARTERS Tribe Sees Big Chance to Regain Ground While Opposing Blues. CRIPPLES ARE BETTER

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 20—The Indians today were ready to open their final series of the season here and, despite a crippled squad, Manager Hendricks predicted that his athletes would grab the majority of games without much trouble. The Hoosiers are anxious to regain the ground lost while they tangled with the leading Saints and they believe that when they depart from here they will be found holding down second place again. Jimmy Smith has recovered and is ready to resume the jo.b at shortstop, though Hendricks may make another change and send Jimmy back to second base, returning Schreiber to short and leaving Kores at third base. The pitching staff is reported in fine fettle and it was the Tribe boss’s plan to use Pug Cavet on the firing line this afternoon. According to Manager Knabe of the Blues, his team is not going to prove as easy as the Indians anticipate, and he stated today that his men were anxious to get busy and grab the edge on the series. Knabe is doing some experimenting, but only with pitchers, and ht still retains his heavy hitting in the lineup. The contest today was to be halted five minutes at 4 o’clock out of respect to Ray Chapman, whose funeral was held in Cleveland today. Manager Hendricks stated that be would loan either Smith or Schreiber to Cleveland if Manager Speaker requested, but as Lunte seems to be getting along, fairly well at Chapman’s old position, it is not thought that Speaker will ask out side aid. The Hoosiers are friendly toward the Cleveland club, because it was from that team that the Tribe obtained Jess Petty.

Outfielder Orme of This City Has Scouts Looking Him Over at Brantford

George Orme local outfielder, continues to show great form in all departments of the game as a member of the Brantford Mint league club. Scouts have been looking him over and ho sec-ms practically sure of graduating to higher company next season. He Is bitting well above the .300 mark, has stolen nearly forty bases and ts fielding better than .960. Orme's record is the best of the Indianapolis boys in that circuit, although Anderson of Flint is also cracking the ball hard. Orme has good speed and a fine throwing arta and deserves a chance in Class AA at least. Outfielder Trefy of Flint, also an Indianapolis boy. Is hitting .290 and doing well in other branches. Bill Whaley, playing with Bay City, is combinlag pitching with outfield work and is doing more than holding his own, while the veteran Bill Bowling is getting by In good shape as second sicker for the league-leading London team. Carl Fisse, with Saginaw, is not going so well, but Is managing to stay.
