INDIANS HOME THURSDAY FOR PIRATE SCRAP Three New Pitching Tryouts Slated to Join Tribe on Their Return Here. TUESDAY’S GAME LOST After closing with the Senators at Cplumbus today the Indians will hop back to Indianapolis tonight to give local fans a chance to see them tangle with a big league club in an exhibition game at Washington Fark tomorrow afternoon. The Pittsburgh Pirates, the team that is doped to ba in the National League pennant race all the way. will provide the opposition at the Tribe yard and baseball followers here are eager to see Manager George Gibson’s team in action. The game tomorrow will start at 3 o'clock. . Three new pitchers are due to Join tne Indians on their return home tomorrow, the deals for them having been closed last night bv Tice President Smith. They are Johnny Enimann of the Philadelphia Nationals and Stanley King and J° e Kiefer of the Chicago Americans. Enzmann has had major league experience and no doubt will make a strong bid for a regular berth here, but Kiefer and King are regarded ss try-outs and are being sent here by the Sox to be looked over and tested. If they make good the Indians will have the privilege of keeping them, otherwise they are to be turned back to Kid Gleason. Enzmann was purchased outright from the Phillies and for this reason It is believed that Manager Hendricks is confident that he will become a Tribe regular.

TRIBE LOSES LEAGUE LEAD COLUMBUS, 0., April 27 .Tack Hendrick's Indians had an attack of •’nerves" In the first inning yesterday and as a result the Senators got a couple of runs that served as sufficient foundation to bring them victory. At the conclusion of hostilities Manager Rowland’s boya were on the long end of fl i to 2 score, and the Indians were knocked out of first place in the American Association flag chase. Pug Cavet or Charlie Whltehouse was to be pushed in against the Senators iu the series wind-up contest this afternoon and the battling Hooslers hoped to grab the finale honors. Doug Baird was slated to get back on the third base Job and Doug's hitting was expected to aid in the Tribe effort. I-ee Bartlett opposed the trlekv Danforth on the mound yesterday and the youngster offered fairly stiff opposition. A tendency to wildness cost him heavily, however, for three of the four Senators who scored reached first base by free transportation. However, it was not all Bartlett s fault, three errors behind him Jn the first Inning placing him in a deep hole. Henline, I.utxke and Schreiner committed the opentng inning misplays. The Indians scored one run In the first and one in the fourth, but there they stopped in the face of the puzzling handed np by Danforth. Eacn side got eight hits, but the Senators mingled theirs with walks and errors and thus w'ere enabled to cop. Burrus, Senator first sacker, crashed a long home run lu the eighth. A ROOD THE A. A. Kansas City scored eleven rnns In the opening inning against St. Paul yesterday. Mike Kelley made frantic efforts to stop the onslaught, using four pitchers in the opening frame. Nothing that he tried helped, however, and when the game closed the Blues were far out in front, 13 to 2. The Blues got twentythree hit*. The Millers downed the Brewers In a free-hitting contest and crept up Into first place In the A. A. standing. Hugh Bedient got back In harness for the Hens and banded the Louisville Colonels another defeat at Toledo. It was a shut-out. Apparently the Colonelß were too chesty at the outset of the league race, for they have taken a tumble the last few days. If the Indians can get one effective twlrler out of three obtained Manager Hendricks will be pleased. Tanl Jones must still be considered when the Tribe pitching staff is mentioned, for he be lieves he will be able to take a regular turn shortly. The collapse of Jonea this spring was an unexpected blow. Chances to get Jess Petty back appar ently have faded. Owner Smith is still striving, however, to obtain aid from John McGraw. After playing the Pirates here tomorrow the Indians will rest Friday before opening a series with the Colonels at Washington Park Saturday. The boys from Louisville are booked for games here Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Manager Hendricks took hl9 players to the Ohio State Penitentiary at Colombo* this morning to play the prison nine. Warden Thomas declared a “half holiday” and the lock-step boys were looking forward to a big time. For the second consecutive season Toledo has won the cup offered for the largest opening day attendance In the American Association. President Hickey announced Tuesday. Toledo drew 13,0uK while Minneapolis was second with 12.433. Indianapolis was third.

FRENCH SPORTS GOING EASY ON , PURSE STRINGS Money Boys in Paris Now Ask for Odds in Backing Georges Against Jack. THEY FEAR THE YANKEE By EDWIN HULLINOER. United Press Staff Correspondent. PARIS, April 27.—French sportsmen are going easy’ in putting up real cash on Georges Carpentier, although the majority still think their favorite will beat J Dempsey*. Virtually no French money J has yet been forthcoming. PromlneiJß fans say they are waiting for odds. ■ There is no disguising, however, tlufl French sports are not so cocksure the fight as they were some time buck.

However, it is also unquestioned that Carpentier is much above the average continental boxer. It remains to be seen whether he is high enough above the level to make np for the general superiority of the Americans.” Breyer refused to pick a winner because he has never seen Dempsey. "Americans generally undervalue Carpentier,'* he said. “He has far more strength, punch and endurance than he la given Oledit for.
