DePauw Grid Opening Postponed Until Purdue Game, Due to Fatality GREENCASTLB, Ind.. Sept. 20.—The De Pauw-Hanover game scheduled for next Saturday has been canceled and the Tiger grid men will not open the season until the Purdue game, the week following. Cancellation of the Hanover contest was announced by Athletic Director Buss following the death in Indianapolis Saturday of Hugh Gibbs, Martinsville boy, who was a candidate for a position on the eleven.

Gibbs was Injured last Wednesday and died in the Methodist Hospital, Indianapolis, Saturday night when he failed to rally from an operation. His spinal column was dislocated and fractured, the surgeons announced. Gibbs, who was IS years old, came to De Pauw from Martinsville, where he was a star athlete on the Martinsville High school. He was the foster son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Shlreman of that city and was one of the most popular young men on the De Pauw grid squad. His death has caused extreme sorrow among the De Pauw authorities and footall boys and has cast a shadow over the entire college that will take months to remove. SUNDAY STATE GAMES.

TRIBE FALTERS WHEN OPPOSED TO THE SAINTS Hoosiers Get Nervous When Victory Nears and Defense Goes to Pieces. HOPE FOR" EVEN BREAK With two games remaining in the St. Paul series the Indians were hopeful today of getting an even break with the Champions despite the fact that Kelley s gang seems to be making an extra effort to put over a clean sweep here. Southpaw Jess Petty was slated to try his band against the Invaders this afternoon and Jess felt capable of trimming the Saints if backed up by good support. In the games over the week-end the Saints grabbed the Saturday fracas, 4 to 2, and the Sunday performance, 8 to 4. The Sabbath day contest saw Whitehouse and Henline, the youthful Tribe battery named to be traded to the New York Giants, in action and, though the fans pulled hard for the future big leaguers to put over a victory, the pulling failed to get results. Going into the eighth inning three runs behind, the Indians broke through the Saints’ defense and knotted the count by a sensational rally. Then, with the fans excited to the highest pitch, the Tribe balloon went up in the ninth and before it landed the Champions had counted four markers and the game, 8 to 4. Vet Charlie Hall hurled for the Saints ar.d, though not as puzzling as usual, he managed to slip through with damage being done in only two innings. Two fatal errors in the Indian outfield helped Kelley’s boys in their big finish. Jimmy Smith protested one of the hits made by the Saints In the ninth, the Tribe second sacker asserting that Hall's drive had clipped Base Runner Boone on the foot, but the umpire couldn't see it that way. Jimmy was still protesting when the game ended and during his conversation with Umpire Murray the fans staged another playfest and Juggled a few cushions. Murray was in no danger, however, and was not harmed. Owner Smith of the Indians went down on the field to see that no fuss occurred and he stopped more cushions than any one in the place. The victory of the Saints yesterday gave them a win record for the American Association that is not lilaiy to be topped for years. By defeating the Hoosiers In the second of the series the Keileyltes ran their victory string for the season to 106 games. The best previous mark was tacked up by the Millers In 1912. when Cttntillon piloted hit team under the wire carrying 105 victories. Indianapolis baseball fans were elated yesterday when it was learned that Charlie Whitehouse Is going to get a chance with the Now York Giants, along with Catcher Butch Henline. Botch will go in a trade for Infieiders Doug Baird and Fred Lear and a young pitcher to be named later, while Whitehouse will leave the Indians for the big top in exchange for Outtielder Kiueella. Catcher Dixon and a pitcher. Timely the Indians sre due to receive six bait players in exchange for two as a result of the careful and businesslike manner in which Owner Smith and Manager Hendricks handled the negotiations. The battery of Whitehouse and Henline is rated one of the strongest combinations iu the American Association and, though Whltey has had a major league chance previously, bis admirers believe he will make good permanently on his jaunt to the McGraw clan. Whitehouse Is an Indianapolis resident, while Uonline hails from Ft. Wayne. The recent deal* engineered by the Tribe officials have attracted considerable notice in baseball circles and managers of other A. A. clubs have been made to realize that Indianapolis Is going to be In the pennant' hunt from the opening bell next season.

Page Grooms His Butler Grid Squad for Opening Scrap Athletes Holding Fast Pace inOvertime Drills—lrvington Pep Running High. With the Wittenberg game, the first of the 1920 card, less than two weeks away, there will be little rest for Coach Page and his forty odd candidates for the Butler Vnrslty Football Team from mow until Oct. 2, the date of this contest. With the eyes of Hoosierdom turned on the initial appearance of a Buflbr team under the guidance of Page, no stone will be left unturned in an effort to round out a formidable aggregation that will enter the contest with at least an even chance to turn back the Ohio invaders. A drill was held this morning and Page was to have his men back on the Job again early in the arteruoon for the second workout of the day. SUCCESS SIGN IN THE AIR. Butler students who have been watching the squad work for the last week are highly elated over the prospects of a winning team. The general opinion around the Blue and White campus is that Butler is on the verge of one of the must successful seasons in several years. Absolutely no Information regarding the chances of this year’s team Is forthcoming from Coach Pat Page. The new mentor Is maintaining a silence equal to that of any telephone operator. The feeling of optimism at the Irvington tchaol can be traced to four things. Confidence in I’pge, whose ability is known all over the county; the large squad that reported for the teams; the fighting spirit that Page has instilled Into tne men, and the class that the men have been showing in the early scrimmages. MEN SHOWING GOOD FORM. While it may be a little early to bank on the last named factor, and the personnel of the team that will start the first game can not even be guessed at at this time, there are several men who have been showing real class in these early workouts. As to the fighting spirit,

Women’s Net Windup PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20. Mrs. Molla BJurstedt Mallory won the women’s national tennis championship for the fourth time Saturday, when she defeated Miss Marion Zimlerstein of Boston at the Philadelphia Cricket Club.

Johnson, Philadelphia, who defeated Mr. Mallory and Craig Biddle of Philadelphia, 6-3, 6-2. The Junior national title went to Miss Louise Dixon, Philadelphia, who defeated Miss Helen Sewell, Philadelphia, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.

there Is no doubt about it. Pep Is all over the gridiron as soon as the squad trots out. Every play In scrimmage is as bitterly contested as In any regular game. The return of John Ferree, former Butler captain, hajs bolstered the line and it will be a heavy forward wall that will protect the Butler backs. DePalma’s Latest Records SYRACUSE, N. Y„ Sept. 20.—Ralph DePalma established three new world’s records on an oval dirt track at the state fair here Saturday afternoon against one of the fastest fields In the country Including Gaston Chevrolet, Eddie O’Donnell and Jimmy Murphy.

Premiers Trounced in Play With Fast Buick Motor Outfit Fielding Strength of Local Club Breaks Down in National Semi-Finals. FLINT, Mich., Sept. 20.—The Premier Motors of Indianapolis failed to catch their stride in the semi final games of the amateur championship series with the Buick Motors here Saturday and Sunday and were defeated in the three games played by score of 5 to 3, 10 to 2 and 1 to 0. By virtue of their victory, the Buicks meet the McKinney Steel team of Clevo land, Ohio, in the final round of the Class A. A. series next Saturday and Sunday. Errors and bunched hits gave the locals their Saturday victory. Redmond and Ballmer, the opposing hurlers, allowed six hits each, but Redmond's support cracked in the pinches and he went down to defeat. The big surprise of the series was the weakness of Elmer Brown, premier pitcher, in the first Sunday game. Browii was considered almost a sure winner, but he got away on the wrong foot and the Buicks''found him the easiest of the lot. Eight of the ten Buick runs In this game came in the first and second innings. Brown was touched for twelve hits and •walked ten men, while Curtis, Buick hurler, allowed only five hits and fanned sixteen Premier batters. Uhe second Sunday game was called on account of darkness at the end of the fifth with the locals one run to the good. Adams was going good in this contest and probably would have put over a win had the scrap continued the full nine innings. Earl Shaefer, Charlie Shafer and George Broughton were the big Premier stickers in the threy games. A. B. C.s LOSE. CHICAGO. Sept. 20.—The American Giants of this city defeated the A. B. C.s of Indianapolis Sunday, 8 to 2. The visitors were unable to do much with Brown’s delivery. ■ - ' - ./ Additional Sports Page 10
