INDIANS MAKE ST. PAUL FANS PRAISE SPEED Hoosiers Upset Saints in Opener by Displaying Fine All-Around Class. LEE BARTLETT STARS ST. PACT/, May 11.—Fans of this city were willing to admit today that Jack Hendricks has a squad of real ball players together this season, and they were not talking In such chesty tones as they weue before the Hoosiers hit the town. To begin with the Champion Saints were riding along In a fine winning streak until yesterday, when the Tribe from Indianapolis camped out at Lexington Park and grabbed off the series opener, 4 to 2. Lee Bartlett, youngster, was sent in to oppose the veteran, Steamboat Williams, and Lee delivered in convincing manner, not allowing the boastful Saints to ocor# until the ninth. In the meantime the Indians had nicked Williams for four runs by timely hitting and good baserunning. and those four runs certainly caused the Tribe of Hendricks to feel good Mike Kelley still has a bunch of sluggers in Saint uniforms, and it was quite an achievement to turn back the Champions In the very first meeting of the 1921 season. Walter Rehg was the hitling star of the Indians, with two singles and a double. Bchreiber and Sicking also hit opportunely. The Tribe infield was again In prominence with double plays that came when the Saints were threatening. Baird started one of the double killings and Sicking the other. The Indians got their first tally in the fourth on hits by Baird, Rehg and Sincking. In the eighth they got what proved to be the winning tallies when Shinners, rtngled and scored on Rehg’s single after Baird had filed out. Ralph demonstrated his speed at this point, going from first in home when Center Fielder Miller was slow in retrieving the ball. Schrelber scored Rehg with a triple after Kinsella had fanned and then Hank scored on Sicking'e second timely blow. Those runs in the eighth were needed because the Saints tried hard for a de-, layed rally in the ninth and scored twice ester two were out. Bartlett refused to crack, however, and tightened just enough to check the Champions when they were making their final effort. In the second skirmish of the series this afternoon it was believed that Johnny Enzmann would be sent to the mound by Manager Hendricks. Johnny failed in his first start as an Indian at Lonlaville and he was eager to get a crack at the Saints today to make good. In case Enzmann failed to warm up properly Stryker or Weaver was to take the hllL Tex Covington was due back in camp today, but it was hardly Bkelv that he would be able to play. His Injured ankle has been improving slowlv. The big Texan's timely hits have been missed, though Lutzke has been -Uhttling hard to fill the first base shoes. Due to the fact that the K. C. Blues won yesterday the Indians were still tied today for the American Association lead with that team. The Hoosiers are feeling proud of their record and beHere they will hold on if the pitching delivers. It wia raining In St. Paul this morning and there was a possibility that today’s game would be postponed. With a number of regulars crippled the rainy days are welcomed by the Indians. Over in Minneapolis yesterday the Colonels handed the Pongoltes a defeat, the sixth straight suffered by the other Twin City t?am. It was a ten-inning affair yesterday. Duke Reillev, former Indian, batted for Pitcher Williams of the Saints in the eighth frame yesterday. The Duke looks natural. However, due to light hitting it Is not thought that he will be able to stick with the Sainta. TRIBE OBTAINS PITCHER SEIFFERT Owner Smith of the Indians today wired Secretary Clauer that he had obtained Pitcher Seiffert, a right-hander, from the Cincinnati Reds for a trial with x' e Hoosiers. The Reds brought Seiffert up from the Winnipeg (Candlan League) team, where he won fourteen games nnd lost seven last season. Winnipeg was not rated a winning club and for that reason Seiffert's record there Is worthy of note. Lee Bartlett, who defeated the Saints yjsterday, was with Wlnnlepg along with Seiffert and the latter was rated a better pitcher than Lee. Therefore, if he shows the same Improvement with the Indians as Bartlett has demonstc/ted. there's no reason why he should not win a regular place on the Tribe staff. His batting average with Winnipeg was .2.15, wr'<-h is r.ot bad for a pitcher. With the securing of the new pitcher today the Indians' pitching departtment now consists of Cavet, Stryker, Whitehouse, Enzmann, Bartlett and Seiffert. Paul ’Jones also must be considered, though he Is on the suspended list at present. The Dixie hurler still has confidence in his ability to get in shape when hot weather comes.

WHO’LL WIN?

PITTSBURGH, May 11. Harry Greb, prominent light heavyweight: “Carpentier is by far the best opponent the champion has ever met, out he ddcs not impress me as being sturdy enough to withstand the rushes of Dempsey. I have seen the Frenchman in action and hare worked with Dempsey. The champion should topple the Frenchman within three rounds. Carpentler's only chance Is to score a one-punch knockout in the first few seconds. A body crusher and a lightning left to the jaw will finish Carpentier.” Alexa Scores a 74 LONDON, May 11.—Miss Alexa Stirling. the American woman champion golfer.

CORBETT SAYS JACK WILL BE SET FOR GONG Champ Weighs Just Right for Start of Pre-Fight Grind, Jim Asserts. LIKES TRAINING PLAN By JAMES J. CORBETT, Former Heavyweight Champion of the World. (Copyright, 1921, By International News Service.) NEW YORK, May 11.—Jack Dempsey Is looking fine. He is getting ready for the serious work of real training for Georges Carpentier in the proper manner. I expect to see him in perfect condition when he enters the ring at Jersey City, July 2. This much I can say today after spending Tuesday with the champion at Atlantic City. I ran down to the seashore to say hello and look him over. Later, when he gets Into real training, I will follow the progress of his work in detail. I will also keep tab on what Georges Carpentier is doing and will er Jeavor to give my readers first hand ' /formation from the rival camps right ;p to the day of the battle. I found Dempsey in a barber chair, face covered with lather. It was easy enough to locate him. There was a crowd outside the door. Dempsey doesn’t seem to mind crowds, which is a good trait. The fellow who permits curiosity on the part of the public to get on his nerves finds it difficult to compose himself when he needs cold possession of his faculties. Happily Dempsey is not that way. -Lo, Jim,” he said when I walked up to his chair. "Glad to see you. Gee, but you’re looking fit.” This refiiiuded me of an experience he and I had at Tia Juana. A fellow came up to me, stuck out his hand and said: “Mr. Dempsey, I want to shake your hand. I've been one of your staunchest followers and admirers. I'm Mr. So-and-So." How he happened to mistake me for Dempsey. I don't know. Perhaps time has treated me more than kindly. At any rate I saw the chance for a little Joke. “Glad to meet you,” I. told him, “and by the way, have you ever met Jim Corbett?” And with this, I called to Dempsey who was standing near me. I Introduced them. The stranger was very glad to meet Mr. Corbett. "My goodness, Mr. Corbett,” he gasped,. “You certainly are well preserved.” It went over big. But, to be serious. | I feel sure Dempsey will find Atlantic i City an ideal place to train. I trained j for several of my most important fights ; at the seashore. The Balt air and hot sun baths did me a world of good. Jack tells me he Is not going Into the snrf very much. He Is correct In this Swimming e-ery day would do him more harm than good, though an occasional plunge, right in and right out again, is fine. “How much do you weigh. Jack?" I asked. "I haven't weighed for several days,” he reptled, “but I'm right around 200." That weight Is Just right for Ills build. He Isn't carrying an ounce too much. He will take off poundage gradually. “One day when I whs training for one of my most important fights," I said to 1 Jack, “I was playing handball. Suddenly I realized that I was unable to start the perspiration. I knew at once what was wrong. I had gone stale.” “I'm going to be mighty careful about that." he told ma. “When I trained for Brennan I overworked. I really was sick. It won’t happen again." I explained to Jack that when I found I had gone stale I quit working. M.v camp attendants were worried sick, hut | I would not listen to their entreaties that j I do some light work. For several days ; I did nothing. I drank quite a lot of water and amused myself as I saw fit. After several days of this I went on the road for an hour a day and did only the lightest klud of gym work. 1 finished my road work with a fast sprint, and 1 to my delight, the perspiration came back. When I got Into the ring for that fight I felt like a colt. Thlß is the way I expect Dempsey to feel when he answers the bell.

Peugeot Racers Due for Whirl on Speed Course in Few Days Chassagne Here Ahead of Cars—Thomas Sends Junior Through Its Paces. Jean Chassagne, daring French race driver, was due in Indianapolis today, and the Peugot Specials to be driven here May 30 by him and “Howdy” Wilcox, Indianapolis pilot, were expected close on his 1 eels. Chassagne arrived in New York Saturday on the boat carrying the baby Peugeots, and after seeing them taken from the boat and loaded on freight cars, tbe Frenchman mounted the cushions and headed for Indianapolis himself. Chassapme and Wilcox are both deterrninded a..d enthusiastic this year. Last year the Peugeots brought here for the races did lot pan out as expected and their drivevs were not even allowed to put up a fight for the race laurels, but this year they are said to be birds of a different feather, and “Howdy” and Jean are determined to get out and let some of their rivals know iiow it feels to tag along in the rear. Joe Thomas will steal “Smiling Ralph" Mulford's monicker If the nifty little Junior Special jobs keep coming along. Joe had his “blue baby” out for its initial turn on a speed course Tuesday afternoon, and when he came in you couldn't see him for his smile. He is probably the most enthusiastic man around the course these days, and he is handling the pride of his racing days like a bushel of eggs. Joe says he is now convinced that Owner Richards and Designer Brett didn’t spend all their time on the good looks end of the proposition when they were building the Juniors. Bennie Hill rolled his Dnesenburg out for a £*iv sprints Tuesday and came back looking well pleased. Bennie plans on having nothing to do but paint anew number on hi* chariot a full week before the race, and if his motor keeps performing like it has for the past few days his plans will come out about right.

I trust that you will be successful In raising the fund promptly.” Cleveland Hoists Flag CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 11. —Cleveland's first world championship pennant was to he raised at Duna field this afternoon with the Washington Nationals assisting at the rite.
