TRIBE HITTING BIG STRIDE IN SAINT SERIES Take Association Lead With Second Straight Victory Over Kellers Clan. DELIVER TIMELY BLOWS ST. PAUL, May 12—Jack Hendricks’ Indians bad the bit In their teeth today, ■training: every one of their sneed pears In an effort to hold the American Association flap chase lead they grabbed yesterday by defeating the St. Paul Saints, lj to 2, while the Kansas City Blues were laying Idle, due to rain. Yesterday’s was the second victory for the Indians In as many games with the Saints and today they are confident of their iblllty to dash ahead for the remaining two contests of the series this afternoon and tomorrow. _ Harry Weaver, recently obtained trom Chicago, loomed as Manager Hendricks iholce to start today's game, wttn Strvker and Whltehouse standing ready to jump In and help out In case of trouble According to Hendricks, however, Weaver has shown a nice delivery In aractlce throws, and the Tribe boss felt that he could last the route agatist the ■ L^T< lro h big l i*nnlngs, the first and seventh. Wrhen the Indians pounded the cover off fete ball, brought about the doom of the Slnts yesterday. The Tribe collected Be tallies in each of these frames, their jther run coming In the tifth on Baird s single. Kehg's sacrifice, a wild throw and Schrelber’s single. Baird started the run-getting in the ftr*t round when he pole 1 out a single S, left. He stole second and Rehg beat sut an Infield bit. Kinsella walked, and Hank Scbretber, coming up with the bases drunk, bounced one for three wcks. Sicking sent a fast one down to Haas, who threw to the Plate, chasing Schrsiber back to third. McMenemy, In throwing to third, hit Hank on the shoulder and the short-stopper romped home when tne Sill rolled to left Held. Sicking went to third on this play and came home on Henline's triple to center. „ The Saints counted in the fourth when Sicking failed to take care of a pop fiv by McMenemy and Foster came tnrougn with a double The Saints counted in the seventh when Riggert, Miller and Haas lined out stogies. . „ . „„ The Indiana got five more hits and as many runs in tV seventh to sweU thebr total. Shinners led off with a triple. Haas grabbed Baird’s hit-and-run attempt, But threw home too late to catch the speeding Ralph. Rehe singled and Kinsella raiaed one for ttiree cushions, ■coring Baird and Reb?. Schreiber scored K'r.selfa with a single, Btole second and came home on Sicking a single, ended the scoring. Schreiber had a great day of it, getting three hits, one of them *rPte. one sacrifice and stealing one base. 'auk s hits all came just when tney * x needed. Johnnv Enzmann did the fossil ~ 'or the Tribe and performed In a nifty ner. Johnnv was nicked for eleven blow., but he kept them pretty well scattered. r.wir.g his opponents only one earned He always managed to get down to brass tacks when the time came, and it looks as though he is going to be a valuable asset to the Indians. If Enzmann comes out on top. lYeaver delivers, as Is expected, and Seiffert, tne ■youngster obtained from Cincinnati yesterdav by Owner Smith, toes the mark of Lee Bartlett and Morrison. the men who were on the \\ innipeg flub of the Western Canadian League with him last vear. then the fans back In Indianapolis have little to worry over In tne line of winning ball games. The Tr.be athletes are ns hustling a lot as has struck this city In many moons, and tney give one the Impression that they will take on all comers and make them show plenty of credentials before being admitted to the ranks of victors. Roger Brenahan caught for the Toledo Hens yesterday and- Brewer, copped everything but uls Sun.my silt But Clark threw one wild In 1 te seventh ledo two rnnners romped home, giving Tolelo the long end of the count. Jim Thorpe got three blows tti five times up for Toledo. One was a triple. Minneapolis climbed on Estell for fifteen blows and tho Millers V using was bustlcated. Allen got a ume run and two other blows for Minneapolis out of four times up. If the Indians can keep their nace what will happen when Texas Covington comes back In the game with his heavy club? Shinners cam* in In a hurry to make two sensational shoe-string catches In the sixth frame. Th ._ _ a , o light drizzle at St. Paul almost up to game time yesterday and ItToked as though the players might ilend the afternoon lu- a onee-tlme Xkle Show The weather man was not making any nice promise, for today, either.

QUESTION NOW BOBS UP AS TO FIGHT REFEREE Several Good Ones Have Hats in Ring for Third-Man Honor. JACK NOT WORRYING By JACK VEIOCK. International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, May 12.—Who will referee the big tight? With Georges Carpentler half-way across the Atlantic today and other details .connected with the contest at Jersaw City, July 2, running smooth as silk, Oils question bobs up wherever fight fans congregate. Tex Rickard says It is primarily up to the fighters. Dempsey is on record to the effect that he will be satisfied with any honest, capable official who can count ‘'ten” properly. Carpentior is resigned to the Idea that some American will officiate. Jack Curley, who will advise Georges In such matters, says there will be no squabbling. This apparently' leaves the plum hanging free for any one of a score o’ men who have been suggested. But there is a netv angle to it—the "native son” angle. NEW JERSEY MAN LIKELY. We have It on good authority today that the third man in the ring will be a Jersey man. Our informant Is willing to back up his judgment with cash. It wouldn't surprise us if he has the correct dope. Two New Jersey referees have been prominently mentioned—Denny Sullivan and Slim Brennan. Both are competent, fearless officials. There is no little rivalry between them for the honor of refereeing the big battle. , Boxing critics throughout the country, however, lean to other third men. Jim Corbett, Tex Rickard and Ed Smith are the lending candidates, according ,o the best observations of the writer Rickard can be scratched now. He will

WHO’LL WIN?

OAKLAND. Cal, May 12.—'Willis Meehan, California heavyweight, who holds a decision over Jack Dempsey : “Dempsey is the greatest inflirhter ever developed. I fought him five times and shot Id know. I saw the Frenchman fish' Levinsky. Ho hasn't a thing that Dempsey should fear. Dempsey will break Carpeutb r In half before he has gone two rounds.” be too busy taking care of the biggest volume of fistic business in history to think of refereeing. He would not accept the job. This apparently ;,ives Corbett, Smith. Sullivan and Brennan a lead over the rest of tlie field, though there are many other good men wh> deserve cn slUeratlon. Prominent a.ning ‘•hose ere Bob Edgren. Bill Brown, '“'to IT o, Jimmy Dougherty, Jin Jeffries, Matt Hinkel. Harry Stout, Iteuy Dorr and /li.i Griffin. It should be easy to select a good man. As the referee will rot be permitted to render a decision In New Jersy, boxing fans here and elsewhere are wondering how wagers could l.e satisfactorily decided, should the bout go the limit. SCRIBES MIGHT PICK JUDGES. Along this line tho writer has a suggestion to offer. There will he dozens of newspaper men n band to “cover" the contest. It might not b amiss should they get together several days prior to the day of the battle select by ballot a committee of three competent and highly respected referees to sit at the ringside" and if the contest goes the limit, meet in New York after the bout and vote on a winner, providing there is doubt. It is also suggested that the identity of the trio be held up until noon July 2. In this"manner wagers could be decided and everybody should he satisfied, even the fighters.

Yankee Golf, Tennis and Polo Players Have Got the Johnnies Guessing

NEW YORK. May 12—American’t polo team, now getting ready for the international cup matches in Egypt, is tnakInga most Impressive showing. Devereaux Milburn's fotir won the first three practice matches In a style that has opened the eyes of the British sportsmen. While the teams played aren't of tho class that will defend the cup next month, the Americans have beaten good combinations and have shown fine form by piling up big scores. Press comment from the other side Indicates that the British are none too sure that the cup will not be brought back to America. Captain Milburno and bis men are n"l boasting They are telling interviewers that thev have a fair chance to win. The same lack of bragging that tho British have come to accept as a part of tho American make-up has been carried out by the amateur golf team. Some surprise was expressed In the British papers when Francisco Oulmet and Bobby Jones said they had just about an even chance to win the British amateur title. Concern entertained by the British over the golf championship Is expressed In the words of a prominent English player who said, when it became sure that Chick Evans and Oulmet would play: “Thera goes two moro championships.” William Ttlden, winner of the British national tennis championship last year, sailed today to defend his title lu this year's tournament. After seeing the tall Philadelphian In action last year and watching his progress through the Davis cup matches, the British are frank to admit that only n great reversal of form can prevent him trout repeating.

Mannfeld was chosen as chairman and the Marion County Fish and Game Protective Association was put on its feet. After organizing properly, information was searched for that would set the association up in the business of raising fish, for the main object was to restock the streams of Marlon County. Naturally, the State fiai and game department was appealed To. Here the association failed, for it was soon found ou that the State department could not instruct it. It immediately found out that the organization did not alone have to raise fish, but that next important to raising fish came the positive need tot a newly-constructed State fish and game department. Truly a big job. However, it seemed that the right meD were at the helm and by patiently but persistently hammering at the task for these many years the end w’as accomplished. The hatchery was built aud successfully operated during all these years and the fight did not end until the State department of conservation was created, taking the fish aud game interests out of politics. Now the Marion County Fish and Game Protective Association, strong in its efficiency, is exerting every unit of. Its strength to forever keep the fish and gaum department free from political influences. The purpose of the association Is to propagate bass and other species of fish with which to restock Maron County waters. Also, by association among the members, to combine in any measure, having for Its aim the rroteetlon and preservation of fish, gained wild animals and birds. Active and energetic work is necessary more than ever at this time, to save game and fish from extinction, due to the ever-increasing population. The various interests concerned in the future supply must be organized. Concerted effort und intelligent co operation are imperative. The association counts upon the support of all true sportsmen. It especially makes an appeal to those not holding membership to affiliate themselves with the organization. The dues are very nominal per annum and there is no charge for initiation. Membership application blanks can be secured from any member of the association or by addressing the secretary, Walter E. Itoeder. 221 West Washington street. The association meets on the first Monday night in each month at the Denison Hotel. CRIMSON NEEDS PRACTICE.

Howdy and Jean Don Overalls for Final Work With Peugeots Foreign Bright Lights in Race Game Due to Arrive Tomorrow. “Howdy” Wilcox and Jean Chassagne were to unload their Peugeot racing cars at the Speedway this afternoon and step into overalls for a busy whirl at final tuning and adjusting for the big dash for a share of the prize money In the 500mile race at the local track on May 80. Chassagne, one of the premier speed merchants of France, and "Ike” Jehel, his mechanician, arrived in Indianapolis yesterday. The two Peugeots represent the last word in French racing design. Both tha motors are new, but of the type which has garnered such a large share of tha Sold and glory in the past at the Inianapolis Speedway. They are reputed to be very powerful and extremely fast. “Pop” Myers, manager of the Speedway, received a wire this morning announcing that Louis Coatelen, managing director of the Sunbeam Motors, Llmiten, of England ; Andre Boillot, driver of the Talbott-Darraeq; Rene Thomas and Dario Itesta, both Speedway race victors, with K. Lee Guinness, relief driver, and a corps of mechanics, would arrive in Indianapolis tomorrow. Their great Sunbeam ar . Talbott-Darraeq cars will probably reach Indianapolis Friday. The entire motor Industry of Amiriet will welcome the visit of Mr. Coatlen, one of the greatest figures in the British automotive world and a distlngulsh4 sportsman. Mr. Coatlen Is a member of the British admiralty, which corresponds to our Naval Board. With the arrival of each car It becomes more evident to the followers of the speed game that the speed and endurance qualities of the entries this year are far ahead of anything that has ever been seen In America, or anywhere else in the motor-racing world. The entries are showing better than 100-miles per hour for long sprints, and from that as a starter no one knows what the limit will be. Nothing exciting happened at the oval vesterday afternoon. Bennie Bill was out In his Duesenburg and Thomas and Brett wheeled around in their Junior Specials, bnt the track was dangerously wet from the showers of the day and the speed was not enough to make the rail birds drag out the watches.
