Pitcher Mays Unsteady and Pale, but Braces When Fans Cheer Him

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—One week yesterday Carl Mjeys accidentally killed Bay Chapman. Yesterday the burly pitcher of the Yanks worked for the first time sio* e that sad affair and shut out Detroit, JO to 0. Outwardly, Mays seemed as cool as you please, but hig heart probably was thumping violently in his bosom. Mays ia human. It is inconceivable dhat any human could have been wlttur.it some feeling of trepidation under the circumstances. Every ball be hurled at the rapn crouching at the plate yesterday must have been a bitter reminder of the fatal fling to the shortst'oD of the Cleveland club. Onee, as a bail left his band and Maya saw it was going to break close to the batter, the pitcher made a gesture of warning and yelled: “Look out!" The people in the stands were re marking on his iron nerve. It was an extraordinary exhibition of courage, but alt the time Mays probably was going through mental hell fire. He got a tremendous reception from the crowd. There were nbout 12.000 present, and they began applauding the moment Mays walked to the warmlug-up station. Then, when he moved to the ir.onnd, a roar of cheering rolled over the field. Mays was a bit white as he lifted bit arm to deliver th* first ball, but he whipped over a strike on Toung. A trace of unsteadiness showed in his pitching from time to time in the form of a base on balls, or inability to get his “stuff” on the ball. The Tigers got ten hits sff him. but he kept them well scattered. For five inning* only one Tiger got to third base. That was Jones, who trip ed in the fourth. The first time Maya came to bst he got another cheer. The crowd oeemed bent on showing him that they sympathized with him. Ail through the game the fans were yelling words of encouragement at Mtys. it undoubtedly helped the pitcher in bis struggle. He wore a very serious' expression from start to finish, but inwardly be must have felt a deep gratitude toward the rooters.

State Women 9 8 Golf Tourney Carded on South Grove Course

Schopp Plans Organization of Permament Women’s Body After September* Meet.

The next thing in the order of events for Hoosier women golfers will be ihe Indiana state women's championship tournament, to be staged on tbe South Grove links, under the supervision of Harry Schopp, South Grove professional, during the second week in September. Although divorced from the Indiana State Golf association, the women hold their tournament every year, thanks to the efforts of Schopp, and the winner passes as tbe undisputed champion of the state. Schopp is now busy preparing for the 1920 tourney, which he believes will be the biggest, ever held. Requests for information on the event have been received from local and stat women for several weeks and an entry list of no less than one hundred contestants is expected. Last year there were something like sixty-five women entered in the tourney, which was played over the Sooth Grove and Riverside courses, eighteen holes on each. However, golf is booming, and with a field more than 50 cent larger than that of last year to draw from, Schopp and the local women working on the program expect the 1920 lists to be crowded with new games. Miss Bernice Wand of South Grove won the 1919 Laurels with a low medal score of 201 for the thirty-six holes. Mrs. R. C. McClamrock of Frankfort. Ind., was secend. There will be three trophies up for play this year. Mayor Charles W. Jewett, James H. Lowry, superintendent of public parks, and Harry Schopp each donating a silver cup. Besides these there will be several valuable merchandise prizes. Following this year's tournament, Schopp plans to call all the women golfers of the state together in a meeting to form a permanent Indiana state women's organization. At this meeting officers for the year will be elected, a constitution and by-laws adopted, committees chosen and the location of the 1921 tourney decided. Further details of the 1920 tournament and the opening date will be az/munced by Schopp within the next we*A. CHICAGO. Aug. 24. —ThirtyMwo of the best women golfers in th* west today teed off in the round of tho Western Women’s golf tournament, and among them was Mrs. B. C. Stevenson ot Indianapolis, considered a strong contender for the 1920 title. Mrs. Stevenson qualified yesterday with 100 and was paired in the first round today with Miss Edna Dixon of Oeonomowoc, Wls. Mrs. Melvin Jones, of the Glen Oak club, Chicago, led the qualifying field yesterday with an SB, shooting 44 In each half. Her total score was just one stroke above par for the course. Miss Elizabeth Keltz of Indian Ilill, with a 93, registered second low score. Mrs. Perry Fiske of Dekalb, 111., present holder of the title, played the qualifying holes in 101. Mrs. Fiske would have "been placed In the championship flight, regardless of her score, by virtue of last year’s victory.

At the Grand American

CLEVELAND, Aug. 24.—The twentyfinst Grand American handicap, the classic In trapshooting tournaments, opened Monday and will continue through the week. The list of entrants broke all records, nearly 1,000 being registered. Paul C. Earle'of Stcrr, S. C., turned in a perfect score of I<W in the Forest City inirodneto'y match, the first event on ’ Monday’s program. Allen Hell of Allentown. Pa., bolder of the Pennsylvania state title, was n close competitor. cracking ninety-nine out of 100 day pigeons. Mrs. Toots Randall of Lima, O. is a likely candidate for the women’s national championship as the result of breaking eighty-four out of a possible 100 tai gets in tbe women’s preliminary match ■•boot in the Forest City Introductory event. Mrs. Randall got off to a bad start, breaking only nineteen birds out of twenty-eight on her first trap and the same number on the second trap. With a score of only thirty-eight out of her first fifty birds it looked as if she would turn iu a poor final score. She finished strong, however, scoring twenty-three out of twenty-five on the third trap and the same score on the fourth trap, glv ing her a total of eighty-four out of 100 In the qauifylng contest yesterday between east and west teams the west scored 978 targets and the east 977. Only one member' of the American Olympic team aecured a place om either team.

By LUTHER A. HUSTON, International News .Staff Correspondent. CHICAGO, Aug. 24. —Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, has agreed to fight Gorge Carpentler. the French champion, for the world's heavyweight title under the auspb'ea of Tex Rickard, who promoted tho Wlllard-Dempsey fight at Toledo In which the ebampton won nia title. Although no contract has been signed, a "gentleman's agreement" between Rickard and Jack Kearns, Dempsey’s manager, has beon entered into, according to a statement given by Kearns today. ’’We hire closed with Rickard for the Carpentler match," Kearns said. "We have also closed with Rickard for the Brennan fight, and when Dempsey meets either Carpentler or Brennan It will be under Rickard's auspices. The agreement wn* reached several days ego. NOT TELLING PURSE OFFERED. "No definite date hds been died, but Rickard is being given a certain length of time—l do not care to say now how long—ln which to obtain Carpentler’a consent to fight Dempser. Tbe amount which Dempsey will receive for the fight —and I do not care to make that public ak this time- -has been agreed upon." Kearns said (he time period given Rickard to arrange the is ample to permit all necessary negotiations. Asked regarding the contra-t which C. H. Cochran, the British promoter, ha* with Carpentler, which binds the Frenchman to light Dempsey only for Cochran, Kearns declared he believes Rickard already has obtained this contract. "Cirrpentier came to this country and said his only purpose was to make a little 'movie picture and tight Meestair* Dempsey,’’’ Kearns declared. 'He ha* made his morie picture and has gone tick to France, but he Is coming back to the United State# and we are golug to give him a chancy now to prove he is In earnest about fighting ’Meestalre Dempsey.”

LEV IN SKY BOUT TO BE CANCELED. The proposed Carpentler-Battling I.evtnaky fight, Kearns believes, never wll! take place. Ho confidently expects that upon Uls return to this country the French champion will complete negotiations with Rickard for a tight for tbe American’s title and will not Jeopardize his chances by meeting any other American scrapper. No location for tho Oarpentier-Demp-sey fight has been agreed upon, Kearns declared. In view of Rickard's recent acquisition of Madison Square Garden in 1 “ York, however, it is regarded as likelv that the ancient garden will bo called upon to furnish the Betting for the battle.

THREE REMAIN IN A. L. RACE

Cleveland and New York Indicate They* 11 Stay.

Two things happening In the majors yesterday Indicated three teams are still in the race for the American league pennant. One was the 10-to-0 victory over Detroit by the New York Yanks. It indicated that neither the Yanks nor the pitcher who won for them —Carl Mays—intend to let the tragic death of Ray Chapman affect tbelr play. The other happening was Cleveland’s splitting of a double header with Boston. The Ohioans indicated they will be out of their slump shortly. With Cleveland remaining hlmost stationary yesterday, the Chicago White Sox were idle and retained their two-game lead. The Sox have iost a regular outfielder through the injury of Nemo Liebold. Nemo ha* a fractured nand. It wps announced. Amos Strunk will fill the place and the Sox strength Is unimpaired . The Sox were In'a comparatively soft spot today, again playing Washington. Cleveland could expect a tough game with Boston and the 5 auks hoped to continue their run of luck against Detroit. The National league leaders all won their games yesterday, permitting no change In-their relative positions. New York had the choice place, playing the Cards, while Cincinnati was to meet Philadelphia and Brooklyn met Pittsburg

Williams lost control in tb? eighth and Jeffries hurriedly was sent to the rescue. The game was a thriller all the way, the pitching on both sides being of the tight variety. The fielding was snappy and numerous fast plays were made. B. Taylor and Washington of the A. B. C.’s sod Baro for the Cubans each got two bits.

the Future

is but one way in which the railroads could have been made ready for "the peak load of commerce this summer and fall. That was by placing large orders for equipment and making heavy investments for other facilities one, two and even three years ago. The increases in freight and passenger rates, authorized recently by the Interstate Commerce Commission, will be helpful in making possible \he improvements that will restore the railroads to maximum efficiency in the future. The increased revenue alone cannot provide for the additions and betterments that will be necessary if the roads are to catch up with the progress made by national commerce. This revenue should, however, assist in restoring the credit of the roads and thus open the way to financing their needs for the future. , Although heavy investments have been made by the New York Centra. Lines in the past few months, the results cannot possibly become immediately effective. The situation of the railroads today is analogous to that in the shipyards at the beginning of the war. Before the number of ships could be increased, new shipyards necessarily had to be built. More than a year passed before the elaborate planning and enormous expenditures yielded results in the form of launchings. OIMILARLY, it requires months to build any considerable number of cars in any factory. It takes a long time tc catch up fully with current needs when the normal requirements of previous years have been disregarded. The chief difference between railroading and merchandising enter-’ prises is that little done today can be made quickly effective. The relatively good condition of the New York Central Lines is due to the careful planning and heavy investments of the years before the war. The increased rates recently authorized should result in the establishment of a credit basis that will encourage investments in railroad securities and thus make possible the continued improvement of these properties.

INDIANS OPEN FOR LAST TIME IN MILWAUKEE

Brewer Fans Turn Out With Expectation of Seeing Warm Series. MILWAUKEE, Aug. 24 Indians and Brewers clashed today in the first battle of a four-game series. This Is the Hoosiers’ final 1920 appearance in Milwaukee and Tans here are predicting the series will be one of the best of the season. Jack Egan’s outfit Is hot in the race for second place honors, while the Indians are equally determined to land the plum, hence the fans’ expectation of a warm round of baseball the next few days. The Hoosiers are carded here four daya, after which they will journey home to meet the Columbus Senators. Jack Hendricks’ pitchers were reported in shape today and either Jones or Whltehouee was slated for mound duty. It will take good pitching on the part of tbe Tribe to beat the Brewers because Egan really has a strong hurling staff, especially with McSweeney, Miller, Reinhardt and Northrop in line. The Brewers also have been pounding the ball, but the Indians also hit hard in their last games at Kansas City, so the dope on the series opening today looks about even. Manager Hendricks called on President Hickey in Chicago yesterday and attempted to get his suspension lifted. The league head was attentive and It is thought that he will act shortly. He also promised to investigate further the actions of Umpire MeCafferty, whom Hendricks had a runin with at' St. Paul and who placed the blame for the trouble all on ths Tribe pilot. Owner Smith has rejoined the club and was on hand this afternoon pulling for victory. He believes he can chase all jinxs and predicted today that the Indians surely would grab the series honors and probably return koine m second place.
