DATE IS CLINCHED FOR APPEARANCE OF RUTH AND OTHER YANKEES HERE NEXT MONTH

BABE’S COMING TO TOWN WITH HIS WAR CLUB Home Run King at Washington Park Sept. 22 in Exhibition Game. TRIBE DROPS ANOTHER Get your alibis ready, fans, to get away from business Sept. 22. Babe Butb's coming. Baseball's greatest card, the holder of alt long-distance swat records, is booked for a date at Washington park on that day and it’s needless to say the park will be filled to capacity. Vice President Smith of the Indians closed a deal with the New York Yankees Wednesday whereby that galaxy of big league stars will meet Jack Hendricks' Hoosiers in an exhibition game at the West Washington street lot Sept. 22, and the contract calls for the Yankees to appear with their regular lineup. Negotiations for the contest have been on the fire for some time and in order to clinch the appearance of the seeker king here, Smith had to outbid several other cities. But Smith was there with the top price and through his efforts Indianapolis fans are to be given an opportunity of seeing the home-run star in action. Ruth has amassed a total of forty-three home runs to date and by the time he appears here his record probably will be flirting with fifty. Accompanying Ruth here will be other star members of the Yankees—Ping Bodie, Wallie Pipp, Roger Peckinpaugh, Perrill Pratt. Bob Meusel, Duffy Lewis and a few more. The exhibition will be a regulation contest of nine innings, as both Indians and Yankees have an open date Sept. 22 and there will be no need of hurrying the game. The American association umpires assigned to Indianapolis at that time will officiate. Reserved seats for the game probably will be placed on sale far enough ahead to give out-of-town fans a chance to make reservations in advance. BREWERS AGAIN TRIM HOOSIERS MILWAUKEE, Aug. 26—The Indians faced the task of either beating the Brewers today or seeing the series go to Jack Egan's outfit. Rogge or Cavet was slated to try mound duty. The Brewers gained a big advantage yesterday by repeating their Tuesday achievement of grabbing the honors, the score of the second battle being 10 to 2. Whitehouse was off form and proved easy for the Milwaukee batsmen, though it must b- said that Whltey s support was erratic. The Hoosiers opened the game by threatening to sew things up early on Jake Northrop, but Jake later settled while Whitehouse weakened. When the Brewers finally got the range they bombarded the Tribe lefty with hits of all kinds until he was forced to retire in favor of (law. The Indian relief pitcher stopped the onslaugh, but it was far too late for the Hoosiers to recover because the Brewers had piled up a safe lead. Artie Butler, veteran Brewer second sacker, was the individual star of the contest. He got a single, double and homer and also performed efficiently in the field. Rehg and Covington hit best for the Indians. Reilley and Smith had their usual arguments with the Milwaukee fans, which didn’t help the Indian cause any. Second at Milwaukee Indians. AB. R. H. O. A.

Elmer Still Leads in National Archery Meet PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.—Dr. R. P. j Rimer of Wayne. Pa., was still leading for the national championship when shooting ceased late Wednesday in the fortieth annual tournament of the National Archery association of the United States. Dr. Elmer, who is the present titleholder. has a total score of 1,528 for the two days' shooting. James JUes of Tittsburg, Pa., Is in second place with a total of 1,460, and Homer S. Taylor of Springfield, Mass., is third with 1,313. A feature of the York round was Taylor’s victory over Elmer in the competition at 10) yards, scoring 152 in thirtyeight hits as against Elmer's 148 in thirty-two. Miss Cynthia Wesson of Coiuit. Mass., had a total score for the two of 650 in 128 hits in the women's competit.on in the first national and handicap Columbia round. Miss Stella Ives, Boston, was second with 484 In ninety-eight hits. E. E. Shepherdson, Melrose, Mass., won the fl ght shoot, sending twelve arrows farther than any of the other contestants in the tournament. Big League Stuff A single in the ninth inning yesterday by Ivan Olson scored the fourth and winning run for the Dodgers over the Pirates. The Cardinals started out like winners, but a rookie pitcher, Ktrcber, let off most of his steam in the eighth inning, and the Giants won, 6 to 3. The world's champion Reds again asserted themselves and trimmed the Phillies the third straight time, 5 to 1. George Tyler faced his old-time playmates, the Braves, and limited them to three singles, winning for the Cubs. 4 to 0. The Athletics contlnne their perking np. They whipped the Cleveland Indians 2 to 1. Allen Sotheron was the center of a barrage In Boston. The Red Sox gave him and the rest of the Browns an 11-to-l lambasting. Eddie Eayrs, utilitv outfielder for the Boston Braves, met with a bad accident during the practice before the game at Chicago yesterday. In chasing a long fly, he stumbled and fell, striking his head against the concrete wall in front i the left bleacher. Several atitehes had to be taken and he was unconscious for Quite e time.

Around the A. A. WITH EDDIE ASH It was up to the Indians to make a determined bid for the game in Milwaukee today. The Brewers have won five out of the six games played with the Hoosiers. It Is well not to be too harsh In criticising visiting ball players. When Milwaukee was in Indianapolis the last trip some people termed Catcher Gaston a “fresh busher.” Since that time Gaston has been going great guns and now he’s been traded to the New York Giants and ill Join McGraw’s team next spring. Pitcher McWeeney of the Brewers has been sold to the White Sox for $6,500. This deal calls for the return of Mostil and Lutzke to the Sox. The sum of $3,500 paid the Sox last spring for Mostil and Lutzke will be refunded. Members of the Indians still regarded as big league possibilities are Henline nd Shinners and if they can get their bats working effectively the majors no doubt will be making offers for the pair before the season closes. Bunny Brief of the Blues socked his twentieth homer of the season yesterday, the drive winning the game for K. C. over the Colonels. Brief and Hargrave of the Saints now stand even in circuit drives. And, by the way, the Senators trimmed the leaders yesterday by slugging the ball to all corners. Krueger starred in the field for the Clymer outfit. The sad part of the game was the fact that “Our Mike” Kelly went hitless, despite the terrific slugging. Jimmy Middleton shut out the Millers while his mates hopped on James for plenty of runs. Dave Johnson, Tribe groundkeeper, is putting Washington park in fine shape for the return of the Indians Saturday. Double-headers will be staged Saturday. Sunday and Tuesday, with a single game Monday. Dave says he'll show Babe Ruth and the other big leaguers what a real playing field is when the Y’ankees come to the park for that big exhibition. Sept. 22. It is no short drive from the home plate to the right field fence at the Tribe lot and fans will be anxious to see how Ruth measures the distance. Grand Circuit Results POUGHKEEPSIE. N.

Fails in Channel Swim LONDON, Aug. 26.—Henry Sullivan of Lowell, Mass., has failed in his effort to swim the English channel, according to the following Central News dispatch from Dover this afternoon: “An unconfirmed report reached here that Sullivan was taken from the water when he was within ten miles of the French coast." Sullivan started on his long swim from Dover to France at 8:40 o’clock last night. It was the first attempt to swim the channel since the outbreak of the world war.

SOX LEAD BY THREE GAMES Chicago Well on Road to Pennant in American. Based on what has happened within the last few weeks, the Chicago White Sox today are on the road to a repetition of their 1919 championship of the American league. The Yankees lave faltered and skidded so badly that they have played only second division baseball. The Cleveland Indians have done a bit better, but the latest Invasion of eastern fields, largely due to the saddening Influence of Ray Chapman’s death, has been anything but good for the Cleveland standing. The White Sox have been quick to take advantage of the situation. Starting their attack when the Yankees were last visitors In Chicago the Sox drove forward at their expense and then kept up the battle when they reached the other clubs. They went Into first place while In the eust and are still there. Todov the Yankees and White Sox open (heir closing eastern engagement at the Polo ground’s. The Sox start this series with a lead over the Yanks of three full games. In order to pull the Chicagoans down to tbelr own level, therefore, It Is up to the Yauks to make a clean sweep of the series, i The part played by the Philadelphia Athletics may be to keep some American league team’ from winning a peunant. The Athletics stepped in and won from Cleveland yesterday, and at this stage of the pennant race every game has nn important bearing on the championship. The National league race remained unchanged as to leadership today, Brook lyn, Cincinnati and New York all winning yesterday.

AN INNING WITH THE AMATEURS — By CHARLIE LOGAN ~

TIMES-ELDER GAME FEATURE The Times will the Elder Reserves on Riverside diamond No. 3, Turners will battle the Militaries on Garfield diamond No. 2 and the Willards will cross bats with the Ferndales on Riverside diamond No. 1 in the three games carded in the second round of the city independent amateur championship series Sunday nfternoon. Os these three games. The TimesElder affair at Riverside should be the big feature. The newspaper boys faced one of the strongest Independent clubs In the state last Sunday and kuocked Elmer Brown's curves for a win over the Indianapolis Trojans, proving that they had much more stuff than the fans and dopesters were giving them credit for. As for the Eld**rs. they have not yet faced real opposition in the tourney, stacking up a big total to trounce the Oiirstaraores in the first round, Charlie Clark, a late addition to the local Independent Held, probably will throw- against The Times Sunday. This youngster has been puzzling the best batters in the state all reason and the Elders are pinning their hopes of a win over The Times on his arm. The South Side Turners will no doubt be shown some opposition by the Militaries at Garfield, but south side fans can't see a chance for them to lose. The Wlllard-rerndale scrap on Riverside No. 1 will also draw a large gallery These two fast clubs are about evenly matched and their chances for a secondround victory are considered fifty-fifty. The Borden Independent* were granted a second-round bye at the Independent managers' meeting last night. Semifinal round games are scheduled a week from Sunday and the final battle will be staged Labor day. The winners of the tournament will be awnrded a silver loving cup by The Dally Times and the Em-Roe sporting goods store will donate a second cup for the runners-up. XOTES AM) GOSSIP OF CITY SERIES The semi-final round of the Indianapolis Amateur Baseball association championship tournament will be played Saturday afternoon with the Bell Tele rbones, champions of the city league, meeting the Premiers, motor chumps, on Brookside diamond No. 1 in the feature attraction. In the other game the Morris Street Methodist will meet the Holcomb A Hoke team on Garfield diamond No. 3. Both games will start promptly at 3 o’clock. Advance "info” on the games point to a Premier-Morris Street final round game. The 1919 champs are not so strong this year ns they were when flier walked off with the city title and Saturday they will face one of the strongest amateur clubs ever produced In Indianapolis when they hook up with the Premiers. A combination composed of such stars as "Dolly” Gray, Johnny Gaalema Charlie Schaeffer, George Broughton and Elmer Brown Is one that can weather a heavy storm and still come through with the best of the deal. Tim Holcomb & Hoke tossers, Manufacturers’ league champs, have a great record for the season and may be expected to play some good basebnll Saturday, but in looking down the Morris : Street list and finding the names of Huck Kelley, Tom Quill, Pat Lucid, Cody i Rafferty, Roy Roberson, Oscar Buehler, I George Grund, Brook Secrlst and Mci Elfresh, It Is hard to turn back and give i the Holcombs anything much more than I on outside chance.

The pugilist, who has been spending some of his time at the rrsort since his return from the United States, orcl•'entally elbowed the former aviator in a crowd around one of the gaming tablrs at the Casino. The aviator became loudly resentful and gave Carpentier a vigorous denunciation. He charged the champion with spending all his time In Paris during ne war and with never having been at the front. He wound up by challenging Carpentier to fight on the spot. During the hubbub that followed Carpeniler slipped away and disappeared.

SCHOPP AS SUPERVISOR Indianapolis will be introduced to a new wrinkle in the line of golf next year. If plans announced >y the park board .today to establish a nine-hole practice course in connection with the South Grove links go through. The park board, according to Superintendent James H. Lowry, proposes to purchase the strip of land just across the Eighteenth street road, south of tbe South Grove clubhouse, extending froin Parkview boulevard west to White riTer, and from Eighteenth street south to the new road cut through north of the old Speedway road. Eighteenth street will be closed when the course is built. Tbe land is now owned by tbe Indianapolis Water Company. WOULD START IVORK IN FALL. Lowry stated today that the ground probably will be purchased by the city iu time to let Harry Schopp, South Grove professional, start the work of laying out tbe course this fall, so that it will be in shape for the beginners next year.

These new* players are as welcome a the flowers in May, but tbe time is rapidly approaching when it will be absolutely impossible to accommodate them ou the present courses. The only wsy out is the “beginners' course," according to Schopp. The South Grove professional says that when he haa his nine-hole course installed and ready (j>r use, the beginners naturally will want to get over and play in their own little stamping grounds, where they can try out all their little ideas and shots and know that they are not Interfering with the play of real-for-sure golfers.
