TRIBE BACK AT WASHINGTON PARK FOR DOUBLE-HEADER SERIES WITH THE COLUMBUS CLUB

INDIANS HOME FOR BIG CARD WITH CLYMERS Seven Games in Four Days Give Hoosiers Chance to Gain Ground. LOSE BREWER WINDUP Baek from their final 1920 swing around the western half of the circuit, the Indians today tangled with Bill Clymer’s Senators in a double-header attraction at Washington park. The series reads like a loom-end sale of baseball entertainment, there being seven games carded in four days, two contests this afternoon, two Sunday, one Monday and a third pair Tuesday. The Hoosiers see an excellent opportunity to regain ground in the big match with the Clymers and, although the series means a heavy task for the pitchers, the Tribe hurlers are not kicking and are determined to extend themselves. Petty and Rogge were the probable Indian twlrlers today and both were reported in shape for the hostilities. louie Wolf was to reappear at second base. Kores taking the bench. This left Smith for short and Sehreiber at third. A batting order change called for Wolf to bat second and the catcher eighth. The Indians won eight and lost nine on the road trip, the series at St. Paul and Milwaukee pulling them down. However, they still stand in line for the league runner-up berth and all the athletes are ambitious to gain that place. The Indians were handicapped to a cert-iin extent on the road trip through

Injuries anrl sickness.

The final contest at Milwaukee yesterday was captured by the Brewers. 3 to 1, due to the good pitching of McWeeney. nnd loose fielding by Pitcher Jones of the Indians. Jones cracked on a play in the first inning that gave the Brewers an opening, and their runs in that frame practically won the game for them.

Cooney singled. sending MostJ to third and" Butlers single scored Mostil and sent Cooney to second. Both Cooney and Butler nd vanced on Hauser's grounder, but the fast named was cut down at the plate on Hahn's rap to Schreiber.

The Hoosiers got their lone run In the second round. Zwillinp walked and ad'anced to second on lienline's single. A passed ball permitted the Trilte base gunners to advance and. aft’r Schreiber Void popped out, Zwiliing scored on fqnith's infield out.

To Boycott Mays Would Indicate Murder Belief, Chicago Players Assert

NEW YORK. Aug. 38.—The White Sox will not Join In u boycott of Carl Slay*, pitcher, who accidentally killed Itay Kay Chapman with a pitched bull. Definite decision on the question wa* re:iebed here .tester lay prior to the second game of (he present series. The Sox held a meeting to dlseun* the round robin “sent out by th* Cleveland club for signatures of other players. “We beliete Chapman's death wa* purely accidental,” said a member of the White Sox. “To boycott him would mean we believe Mays guilty of murder. We nre not crazy enough to believe that. “In addition, we ran not afford to cripple our pennant chance* by taking port in thin fight- A game forfeited to the Yankees might hurt us very hadly.”

Sam Crane, Pugilist

CINCINNATI. Aug. 28.—1n the fourth Inning of the second New York-dnctn-natl game yesterday Shortstop Sam Crane poked Outfielder King of the (Hants In the nose and a pitched battle on the field was barely prevented. King was on first when Doyle hit a grounder to Crane that was made to order for a double play. Sam fielded It rapidly and stepped on second base. As he did so King bumped him snd almost turned him over. Sam recovered and made his throw lo first, getting Doyle for a double play, after which he turned around and lost no time In giving King a smash in the proboscis. Umpire Harrison was at band to interpose bis shape between the fighters, ana, although King was knocked down, he got away without serious injury. All of the players rushed to the scene, and even n few of the blencherltes hopped over the rail and went out to get ringside seats, but a general altercation was avoided. The umpires, realizing the strain under which the athletes wore laboring at that hour in the evening and perhaps willing that the attention of tno battlers should be diverted from themselves for a feu minutes, did not put, either of the fighters out of the game, which proceeded until darkness set in a few moments later. In the seventeenth inning of the first game Hetnle Groh of the Reds and Catcher Smith of New York squared away for battle, but before they could start punching Umpire Rlgler stepped between them. Groh asserted Smith had Interfered with his bat.

University of California star hurler, will go on the i mound for the newspaper youngsters I and bis hurling will attract a great j deal of Interest among the fans. The beat order of the day for South Side fans will be the Turner-Military game at Garfield diamond No. 2, and j there la not much chance of this little party being too slow. The Turners, as their one-sided win I over the Indianapolis Specials Sunday | shows, are one fast gang of sandlotters, but if they are not running wild tomor- | row they will find their hands full be- | fore they get very far along with the west alders. Femdales and the Willards will meet ! on Riverside diamond No. 1 In what Is j listed ns a third hot scrap. The Willards nre evidently as strong this yenr as when they tore amateur things to pleeea two years ago, and their followers are confident that they can dump the Ferndales without much trouble, hut Ferndale athletic organizations usually hold their own In fast company and they are rather sure of a victory themselves.

BIG BATTLERS STILL IN NEED OF RING POLISH Miske Slow in Starting Punches and Dempsey Off on Timing. BOTH PHYSICALLY FIT By FRANK G. MEXKE, International News Correspondent. BENTON HARBOR, Mich.. Aug. 28. It's more than a week before Jack Dempsey and Billy Miske proceed to swat each other hereabouts—and that’s fortunate for both warriors, for they need that long to fit them for ten rounds of fisticuffing. Both men right now are in perfect physical condition, but not In perfect fighting condition. Each has a few defects that it will take a week or so to correct. With Dempsey it’s a case of better timing of punches; with Miske it's a need for snappy shooting with his “br.ng home the bacon” right. The Dempsey who will climb into the ring with Miske on Labor day will be a Dempsey with a defensive style somewhat different than he displayed in Toledo. But Dempsey isn't sending the drives home in the true Dempsey fashion. He Is punching as swiftly as of yore, but not with the same amazing precision. However, his marksmanship is infinitely better than it was a week ago, ond constantly improving. Miske, with the opportunity of a lifetime before him on Labor day. realizes that Dempsey is too dangerous a citizen to frivol around with. He knows that if he is to win with a knockout it must be one or two terrible blows that will do it. So Miske is striving to pos ses ß himself of a right that, landing properly, will drop Dempsey. But Miske’s “knockout right” Isn’t much of a Dempsey menace at Dresent. He’s slow and awkward in bis delivery and needs heaps of practice to overcome the “telegraphing” characteristic, if he can do that before Labor day be will accomplish a seeming miracle. If he falls to do It and tries that slow-moving baymaker against the panther-llke Dempsey, then his dreams of a championship will never come true. Miske went to South Jlend. Ind., today to show his wares. He expected to gi through his usual workont in the Ir.diara city for the benefit of a host of fight fans there. Meanwhile preparations for the Labor day fight progressed smoothly here. Workmen hurried through the construction of an addition to the Fitzsimmons arena. The addition comprises 6 000 seats, bringing the capacity of the arena to IS.tXX). Hotels put out the S. R. O. sign today, Indicating that the advance guard was on the Jon. The early arrivals and the early seat sale was taken by promoters to mean Miske is credited with ability to hold the champion long enough to make It a show. Without a culver Miske yesterday discussed his chances for winning the title from Dempsey. Acknowledging the champion's power, Billy pointed to the sixteen Innings he already has held Dempsey off, and asserted that he is in scape now to better his record. Dempsey was his usual cheerful self yesterday, skylarking about his quarters ’when he wasn't in tne ring. Inside the ropes he fought with his usual viclousn* ss and his sparring partners were glad when their time was up.
