TRADE SENDS HENLINE OF INDIANS TO GIANTS FOR BAIRD AND LEAR

TRIBE’S YOUNG BACKSTOP GOES TO BIG LEAGUE Two Well-Known Infielders Given by McGraw in Exchange for Rutch. PITCHER ALSO COMING Catcher Batch Heuliae of the Indians is going to the big leagues. The popular young backstop has achieved his ambition and through a trade comnieted today by President W. C. Smith, Sr., Vice President W. C. Smith. Jr., and Manager Hendricks the Pt. Wayne product will go to the NewYork Giants in exchange for Infleldera Fred I,&r and Doug Baird and a pitcher to be selected later, or a sum of cash if the hnrier cannot be delivered. A straight money offer for Henline made by John McGraw was rejected by the Indianapolis clnb officials, Ybelr demand being that players of Class AA ability be given, and after lengthy negotiations, in which Manager Hendricks named the athletes he would accept, the deal was completed. Inflelder Baird was with Hendricks when Jack was manager of the St. Louis Cardinals and the Tribe boss knew his ground when he named Dong as one of the players to be included in the deal. Baird started with Brooklyn last spring and later was obtained by New York, where he is at present. In Hendricks’ estimation this athlete will make a whale of a player in the American Association and probably will be assigned to third base next season. If not used on the Infield he is well able to bold down an outfield post, because he Is versatile In this respect. Fred Lear is also an lnfielder and played with both the Giants and San Antonio this season. He started with McGraw last spring, was sent to San Antonio later under an optional agreement and then recalled only recently. He is rated a good hitter and a high-class lnfielder and no doubt will prove a star in the A. A. The pitcher included in the deal is yet to be named by McGraw, but according to the terms of the trade he mnst meet with the' approval of Manager Hendricks. With this big deal announced fans attending the Indian-Salnt game at Washington park this afternoon were to be given something to gossip over. The Henline deal is only another step in the reorganization cf the Indiaiy* for' next season, when Owner Smith believes Ms aggregation will be in the flag running right from the opening bell. The Tribe had bad luck this year due to the inroads the outlaws made in the local lineup, blows which the team has been unable to overcome. The failure of Yerkes. Bronkie and Callahan to report *nd the desertion of O’Mara and Crum placed a handicap on the Indianapolis club that few teams in organized baseball ever have suffered in a single season. Despite these drawbacks the Indians have done fairly well and are still In the running for second place honors, which th“y hope to . win by a fast finish. Pitcher Sterling Stryker, bought from the Giants yegterday, is due to report shortly and he will take his regular turn In the box. Ro kies Van Dyke, outfielder, and Ly nch, pitcher, are also coming for fall tryouts and it looks as though business will be good for Washington park fans the remainder of the season. The Indianapolis club is not through making deals that will bolster the Hoosiers aijd the fans can expect other news of interest shortly. Owner Smith fS after a pennant winner in 1921 and he means to go to any lengths to land the prize. Plenty cf action is promised at Washington Park during the stay of the champion Saints here. Kelley’s pennant winners are here today, Sunday,-Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday Babe Ruth and the other New York Americans wilt be here for an exhibition, and then the Millers, Brewers and Blues will follow in order for the season's windup gamos. Indianapolis Team to Hold First Scrimmage at Riverside Tomorrow The Indianapolis Independent footballer* ran through their first signal practice at College avenue and Fall creek last night, enough men for two strong elevens reporting for the drill. Sunday morning the candidates for positions will be formed into two squads and the first scrimmage will be held in the outfield of Riverside diamond No. 1. Coach Feeney wants it understood that the men falling ro report for this drill will take the chance of losing their positions on the eleven, as the regular squad will be picked at tnat time. Feeney last night introduced ro the players a 3erie of the trick piays used most successfully by the college and university teams throughout the country last year, besides a few of his own idea*. The men are working hard to master i these stunts and It will be bard to atop them when they swing into their regular stride. McGraw Now a Goat NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—John .T. McGraw. manager of the Giants, has been expelled from the Lambs’ Club and Wililiam H. Boyd, the actor with whom he became embroiled in a fist fight in the club, has been suspended for o year, as the result of investigation by tho directors.

AT THE RINGSIDE WITH TAD

NEW YORK. Sept. 18.—Fight fans here are smacking their lips today after their first taste of decision fighting in twenty years. ,AUhough the first bout dished up under the new boxing law was devoid of startling features last night, 10,000 fans saw the match and were pleased. In the feature event Joe Welling of Chicago was given a decision over Johnny Dundee. Welling inflicted considerable damage on the Italian lightweight, but was much astonished himself at the finish after pursuing the agile Dundee in the ring. Many fans disagreed with the decision of the Judges. Joe Benjamin, Pacific coast lightweight, handed Pete Hartley a pasting and Young ; Andy Chaney defeated Tommy Noble. Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier met in the ring for the first time when they were introduced to each other and to the crowd. It was annonneed that bouts scheduled between Dempsey and Bill Brennan for Oct. 1 and between Carpentier and Battling Ilyinsky for Oct. 12, had been postponed to November. Hartley was as promising as Ponzi In the first two stanzas, but soon petered out. Benjamin was given the decision at ths end of the tenth roond after a tough tussle. Quite a few hoots greeted the decision.

Westover, another gentleman who Bays It for Strauss, told the pins a little story worth a 222 score In bis first game. Ills second attempt wasn't so successful, but bis third put him back In the running. Wheeler stacked 'era for something better than a 195 average. Spencer aad Malott each got a whopper for the Store Correct and that club galloped all over the hopes and expectations of the Taggart Bakers. Halslup and Jamison had a lot of class on their delivery for the Stelnharts, but there were five good Kerner Tigers opposing them and they went dowli In a neap. Hyers’ 224 didn't go bad in the Electric Shop's victory over the Em-Roes. Would yon not like to “okesraa" N'aughton shooting his head off on three 140 scores? The Armours beat the Sales Extenlsons bv just a couple of pins In the first and third games. Harry Ochiltree threw a fairly mean club for the Sales crew.

They handed 'em three beautiful beatings. Pattman's work with the Mutual Printing five was confined mostly to the 120 division but his team-mate* had the stuff that did the trick, winning two from the Indianapolis Engravers. Alexander shot i Ml that led the league and made a good looking second place count tor the night.

VSid Mercer said that Wilbert Robinson blocked traffic on the Twenty-seventh street *ide of the ring. Kid MacPartland refereed the third quarrel which was between Andy Chaney and Tommy Noble. Andy and Tommy played "London Bunge is Falling Down" until the gallery whooped. Then they fought. After ten rounds of socking Chaney was slipped the laurel wreath. A clog dance or a Juggling act would have gone well with the Noble-Cbaney go. In the third round a rafter bound yelled, "Hey, Referee, aklp the next rounds, wtlryou'/" Joe Welling and Johnny Dundee went along easy in the first spell, but In the second bill Brown ordered tho boys to get mad and they did.

Moran Press took two from the Hollenbeck Press. The Coalmen !sl Nationals took two from the Waahington Banks with little or nothing, even though Plocb of the Washingtons did lead the circuit with a 222. The National Cities couldn't get out of the Lowlands and It was a cinch L*r the Merchauta' National to make it three straight. Smith shot only one game with the Indiana Nationals, but he did hi* work well while he waa lu there. The Fletcher Savings and Trust crew had a peach of a chance to trounce the Indiana five until Johnson and Buenagul went on the rocks. Moore of the Commercials was high man in the Bell Telephone circuit with a count of 209. Cole of the Engineers and Cooper, another Commercial shooter, wefe right on Moore's tail. Thomas of the laical Plant No. 2 team got away nicely but threw a tire on the return trip, leaving room for Local Plant No. 1 to win a couple. Traffics looked bad at the start, but they braced In the second and third games to beat the State Plant. The Commercials took advantage of the scores shot by Moore and Cooper to bear the Engineers In the first and second games. The Coco Colas set the pace in Beam's N*. 2 league. Henry got out In front with a 223, Lorlck came next with a 299 and th* team scorn of 935 In the first game wa* the best produced. What chance had the Franklin Motor*?

YANKEE HOPES RECEIVE BLOW IN SOX GAMES N. Y. Must Do Quick Comeback or See Its Flag Chances Fade Out. DODGERS BRACE LEAD GLEASONS ARE SPEEDING, CHICAGO, Sept. 18—Manager Kid Gleason propelling hia White Box pennantwurd, hoped to hop over New York today. With a “murderer's row” of its own the Chicago Club haa taken the first two games of tho final series with the Hngmen and NFaber and Dickie Kerr have prevented Babe Ruth registering his fiftieth home run of the season. NEW YORK, Sept. 18—New York's dream of a metropolitan world's series was at the back door today, ready to be shoved out If the Yankees take one more pasting in Chicago. Today they are only half a game abend of the White Sox, and the Cleveland Indians, again leading the league, havo pulled out a full game and a half to the good. Asa matter of cold fact, the Yankees cannot afford to lose even one more ball game If they want to win a pennant They may expect Cleveland to win practically all its ball games from now on and the Sox to do the same. One of the two of these clubs is going to take the short end when they meet in Cleveland, and each club has a longer: schedule to finish out than the Y'ankces have. Therefore, tho Yankees, to win. must pile up a lead and trust to good fortune, something they are not well acquainted with. • On the other hand, the Brooklyn club Is gradually drawing out from the pursuing pack. Ano<her defeat administered to the Cincinnati Reds yesterday shoved the world's champions into third place and put the Dodgers another half a game to the good. That the Giants cannot catch the Dodger* is practically admitted, bnt the teams are scheduled to battle each other at the end of the season, which may make some difference. The Dodger* have ten more game*. Six victories will insure them the pennant. Five wins, or a fifty-fifty break, will compel the Gtanta to make a clean sweep of the last fourteen game# to grab the honors. Cincinnati with seventeen games to play, would nave to mop up sixteen to shade the Dodgers.

REAL ESTATE GOSSIP By REALTOR “AL” EVANS Bill Elder admits that be isn’t afraid to commit himself. From what he said we believe that he has no fears. A. B. Carter served several of his acquaintances with refreshments yesterday afternoon. This was in the shape of home-grown cantaloupes and I’ll say they were sure Ticous. Brother C. B. Durham is selling “out” his east side addition known as Shannon Park. He must be starting an Irish community. Well now that we have had our vacations (Including myself) let's have several contributions each week from the realtors. v Maurice Tibbs has been out of town for the last several days on a business trip. Maurice evidently had a successful trip as he returned in a happy frame of mind. Bert Essex reports that the downtown street car rerouting will start soon, now that the Virginia avenue lines are about completed. The car company and the board of works promised to take up the street car loop as soon as these lines were finished, so we should have some action now. Well —Mr. Bow Elder, and the entertainment committee, let’s have some information on the next realtors’ party. We who attended the picnic enjoyed it so much we want to get in on another program of yours. The Badger family Increases by leaps and bounds. Right after Ken’s good luck comes word from Minneapolis of an arrival at the home of Ken’s cousin. ✓ Ask Hienle Richardt about the strawberry blonde who fell all over him one day on Ohio street. Hienie sure had a look of embarrassment all over his countenance, but that didn't have any retarding effects on her actions. George A. Lucas, alias poorhouse George, alia* “Gal,” opened an office of his own at 405 Peoples Bank Building recently, with all due ceremony. The opening was formal and ended with a dinner at the Columbus Club, which due to Georges' speaking power was turned into a Democratic fraternity. For further information, ask "Al." Earl Bullock, the humble secretary of the Indiana Real Estate Association Is sharing the above mentioned office. Comment: Two of a kind. Our tall and pleasant friend John B. Wolf has associated himself in the real estate business with Clarence F. Neville, formerly of Chicago, and Ralph F. Thompson of this city. Mr. Thompson was general salesmanager of the Wash-burn-Crosby Company for the Indiana district. The firm known as Wolf, Neville & Thdmpson have offices at 315 Peoples Bank Building. John reports they turned so much insurance business this week they have made four of the insurance companies peeved at them already. J. T B. Tall and stately, of martial mein. With features austere and pale. But a heart so big and a life so clean That his friendships will never fail. On tho shady side of life he may be But his spirit is as young as the Spring. And he will fight to the bitter death cheerily If he thinks it will Justice bring. For right to him is not might alone, 'Less the scales are balanced true. For might, iu his eyes, if it wrings a moan. Gives cause for the mighty to rue. We may liken to a knight of old Who would gladly enter the fray. To vanquish the cohorts of unclean gold Who must needs on the Innocent prey. ..* When the battle of life for him shall end And his armor is laid aside We will speed the valiant soul of our friend! As it crosses the great divide. A. S. .M

MOTOR CLUB NOT FOR ‘FLAT TO CURB’ ‘Jay Walking* in Streets Also Opposed. Letters opposing proposed new traffic regulations in Indianapolis have been mailed by the Booster Motor Club to *11; members of ths city council. The letter follows: Members of City Council, City Hall Indianapolis. Gentlemen The Hoosier Motor Clnb is anxious that traffic regulatidns be as convenient as possible for automobile drivers and yet be compatible with necessary regulations for safety. We are opposed to the proposed “flai-to-the-curb" parking on Pennsylvania, Meridian and Illinois streets, in the congested district, and urge that you try parking on these streets at a smaller angle than what is used at present. Our reasons are that the people had a rather difficult time adapting themselves to the present regulations. They tried "flat-to-the-curb" parking some time ago and you know the storm of protest that r as made. It is difficult for people to park "flat to the curb” in the congested district. They block more traffic by trying to get In and out than would occur even with the present angle of parking. Another thing is that a great deal of damage Is dona-to cars when “flat-to-the-curb” parking is required in the congested district. Then, too, it is likely that more cars could be parked with the smaller angle of parking than could be parked in "flat-to-the-'curb” parking. We want, also to strongly urge that the pedestrians be obliged to cross at the crossings and with the traffic only. At the present time, the pedestrians walk out anywhere along the street* from behind vehicles so that it is next to Impossible to avoid hitting some of them, no matter how careful the motorists may be and the requirement of crossing at the crossings, and with the traffic only, needs no arguments of justification. Y'ours very truly. Board of Directors, HOOSIER MOTOR CLUB. RECRUITS ENTER NEW GUARD UNIT Campaign for New Members Meets Response.
