TRIBE FIGHTS FOR LAST GAME WITH ST. PAUL Hendricks Calls on Veteran Pug Cavet to Throw Departing Curves. SAINTS ANNEX THIRD ST. PAUL, May 13—The Saints and Indians today squared off for the fourth and final game of their series at Lexington Park, with the count standing 2 and 1 in favor of the Tribe, and they standing determined to make it 3 and 1 In their favor. The Saints copped yesterday’s game. 10 to 7, after the Indians had won the first two. That the Indians would not be satisfied with anything like an even break In the series was shown by their activities before the closer today. They were eager to get down to battle, and Manager Hendricks wanted the game so much that he fired the work signal at Pug Cavet, the Tribe's veteran, and. to date, most effective hurler. Somehow or another, the Hooslers seem to go just a bit better behind the lanky twirler than they do for the Test of the staff, it was thought that if Pug had hts \ld stuff out on the hill this afternoon, ttie Kelly clan would find Hendricks’
Clint Goes Big —i CINCINNATI, May 13.—The one bright spot in the Reds' defeat at the hands of Brooklyn yesterday was the work of Clint Rogge, pitcher obtained from the Indianapolis Club of the American Association. Rogge went to the hill to replace Brenton, after the first two men up had singled. He showed that he meant business right at the start by fanning the first man to face him, and bringing the next two batters around for easy outs. His control was great and he had the old sphere jumping in all directions. Rogge was ahead of the National League champs in every inning except the seventh, when Konetchy's liner bounded into th bleachers and he completed the trip around sacks. 1 club much harder to heat than it has 1 been at any other time this series. Cavet | has six victories against one defeat |checked up for this season. . Following today's game the Indianapolis athletes break camp here and move to Minneapolis, where they are scheduled to open a four-game series with the Millers tomorrow. After being put nnder a three-run handicap in the first and third rounds, the Indians tried hard to “put it over" la the fifth, when they got to Charlie Hall for the first time and chased five runners over the platter. This, for a while, made it look like a Hoosier victory. But VThitehouse. who wen', to the mound for Ofedlanapolis in the latter half of thT?f after Covington had batted for Btryker, was forced to retire in favor of Harry Weaver, the Tribe's recruit harler, with one down and the bases crowded. McMenemy, Saint Paul catcher, made Weaver's reception in the Association anything but a warm one by poling one over the left-field fence, scoring three men ahead of him. The Saints got two more runs in the same inning, and went to the field In the next frame with the victory pretty well hidden away. The locals sooted again in the sixth, but the Hendrleksmen could not get runners ail the way round again until the ninth, when they tried hard to put on another big inning, only to be cut down after two men had scored.

Levinskg Says One to Send Over First Punch Will Win Go Battler Has Met Them Both and Is Not So Sure of Outcome. NEW YORK, May 13.—Battling Levinsky, former title-holder of the light heavyweight ranks, is the only boxer who has met both Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier. His opinion of the pair who will meet July 2 for the world's championship ought to be worth something. “Tlie one who gets the first wallop across will win,” the battler said today. “Dempsey "knocked me out in three rounds and tt took Carpentier four rounds to do it, but that doesn't mean that Dempsey can hit harder. He got his opening first, that's all. “Carpentier can hit just as hard as Dempsey, and he carries a knockout punch in both hands. “The styles of Dempsey and Carpentier are altogether different.

LIVE WIRES BOSSING CITY LEAGUE
THOMAS SELMIER, Secretary-Treasurer. Os all the live wires who are trying to make amateur baseball a big thing in this city, the City League of the Indianapolis Amateur Baseball Association probably has the pick of the field in Johnny Gaeth, Ross Hewes and Thomas Selmier. Gaeth, president of the loop, is one of the very few “uninterested parties” who has stuck with the amateurs through (hick and thin, and always stood by to pull the right rope when a good, stiff yank was needed. Johnny is not interested in any team, but he likes to get out and hustle for amateur baseball, and can be found in the thick of things at all times. Last year he was president of the Motor League, and it is agreed that he made it the smartest outfit in the city, although at the start of the season he inet with rather stiff opposition from various sources. Ross Hewes, vice president, is manager'of the Fairbanks-Morse club. Ross also has been Interested in amateur baseball for several years, and is one of the best boosters in the game today. He is working hard in the interest of every club in the league, and predicts that the winners in the city circuit will be the Indianapolis champs this year. Thomas Selmier is somewhat new to amateur ball, but he is tip to his ears in work this season and the rest of the workers are having a hard time keeping pace with him. Selmier has entered hts Selmier Towels In the City loop pennant chase. The teams in the City League are: Selmier Towels, Fairbanks Morse, C. M. B s. Midwest Engines. Indiana Bell Telephones. 1919 city champs, and tlis Printers' Union.

In point of organization, the Carps ; tier camp will be perhaps tho most rmj. plete ever seen in this country.

Y , May 13.—Following twelve hours' deliberation the Jury which heard evidence against Jkek Dempsey, world's champion heavyweight pugilist, and his manager. Jack Kearns, in the case brought by Frank J. S|>ellman of Batavia for $100,900. was utiublo to agree and was discharged by Justice Taylor In Supreme Court Thursday. It is understood that the Jury stood 11 to 1 in favor of Spellman.

On Decoration day of last year the teams went fifteen innings to a 1 and l tie. Johnson and Currie probably wi!T* be the opposing hrtrlers tomorrow, and they will battle against each other again before the reries closes. The Monarchs are also carrying Crawford and Rogan on their hurling staff. In Donaldson, McNair and nawkins, the Ivaw city uthletes boast of the hardest hitting outfield In the colored loop.

Making Friends as Well as Clothes The best formula I know of to make friends of patrons Is to give good, conscientious service and to give full value for every dollar paid. That is what I have tried to do during the sixteen months that I have specialized custom tailored clothes. In that period I have built up the largest tailoring shop in the state that depends exclusively on local trade. I please 94 per cent of the men for whom I maka clothes. That Is a good record when you consider that New York's highest priced tailors’ percentage of pleased patrons will average but 92 per cent. Those whom I do not please simply leave the suit and 1 return the deposit. Or, If preferred, I will make the suit over. I: Is because I appreciate the value of friendship that I will make the $29.60 suit so well that you will not only become a regular patron, but you will probably tell your acquaintances that I am a tailor whose prices and workmanship may be depended on as being fair and right.

AIN’T THEY GOT FUN
NEW YORK. May 13—Babe Ruth Is running away ahead of his 1920 home run pace today. One year ago the Sultan of Swat had five circuit smashes to his credit, registering his fifth off Lefty Williams at the Polo grounds May 12. Thursday at Detroit, Ruth nicked George Dauss for his tenth homer of the present season and he needs but two more to equal his Inst year's record up to May 31. when he had a total of twelve. In order to equal his 1920 pare, Itutb must make fourteen more homers between now and July 9. He has nearly two months in which to accomplish this feat That he will give his 1920 mark the hottest kind of bombardment seems certain, and at the rate he is going now he will send it crashing into tho discard. Interest in Ruth's homo run campaign has been Increased by the advent of George Kelly of the Giants as a candi-

Training Rules Go to Smash While Champion Brightens Up Hospital ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 13 Despite his decision early in the week not to permit any more outside inducements to lure him from his training camp. Jack Dempsey this afternoon devoted three hours to the worthy cause of increasing the popularity of “Hospital day” at the citv institution. He consented to break faith with himself and interrupt his schedule because of the importunities of Mayor Bader. The champion faced a galaxy of admiring mothers and cooing babies; patted the cheeks of infants, their tiny hands, and moved about, followed by 'he little eyes, whose possessors did not realize what it all meant or that in after years they will proudly tell of how they met the man who holds the belt as the world's greatest heavyweight boxer. if the babies couldn’t appreciate it, the mothers did, and the good-natured pugilist had to smile continually because of the hearty wishes for success that were showered upon him. Proud papas were plentiful, too, and if theic greetings were more reserved they were none the less sincere. After exhibiting himself at the hospital he spent an hour in the gymnasium at the National stadium grounds before going in for his evening meal.
date for honors. While Ruth was marking up his tenth four-ply knock at Detroit, Kelly registered liis eighth at the Polo Grounds against St. Louis. And there were three men on bases. Ruth leads the Giants slugger in home runs by two but his work with the stick has not been as fruitful in the way of pounding runs hornet The Babe’s honors alone have resulted in the scoring of fifteen runs for the Yankees, for in five occasions there was n runner on base. Kelly’* efforts along the same line have knocked home Dinette runs for the Giants. Twice he has slammed the ball out of bounds with the bases full; once there were two men on and he has carried one runner home with him on three occasions. In order to keep pace with Rnth, Kelly will have to whip up, but he should worry. At his present speed he will easily establish anew home run record in the National League.

FRENCHIE MAY BE PRESENT AT SPEED CLASSIC Carpentier Voices Desire to See Foreign Pilots Take Stab at Laurels. RAIN HALTS PRACTICE Geobges Carpentier, who arrives In America this week to start training for his world's championship fisticuff with Jack Dempsey, may be a guest of the Indianapolis Speedway management and his French racing compatriots at tho 500-mile race on May 30, according to an aerogram relayed by wire to the Speedway office this morning from ’•M’sieu” Guyot. Carpentier, the European pugilistic champion and French ace, is Intensely patriotic and is very anxious to see his friends drive to victory under the tricolor banner In the 500-mile dash for gold and glory on the local track. Carpentier is about the only important sporting celebrity needed to complete the roll of distinguished foreigners who will gather at Indianapolis for tha big race. He is now- on the high seas with Guyot and Inghibert, who are speeding to Indianapolis to participate in the ninth annual 500-mile championship. Inghibert is very eager to get a car, but probably will act as relief driver for some of iiis famous French brothers. Louis Coatalen, managing director of the Sunbeam Motors, limited, of England; Rene Thomas, Dario Resta, Andre Boillot and a crew of expert mechanicians arrived in Indianapolis today. Their cars are expected in tomorrow.
WILCOX PLEASED WITH CHARIOT. Jean Chassagne and “Howdy” Wilcox unloaded their two fast Peugeots early this morning and are now happily parked at Speedway City. Wilcox was highly pleased with his first Inspection of tha famous French cars and was seen la overalls tearing the car apart with tha rapacious activity of a kid with anew watch. With the arrival of the Sunbeams and Boillot’s Talbot-Darracq tomorrow all of the cars will be in Indianapolis, or a few hours' jaunt from the scene of the big dash. This year breaks all records for early arrivals, and the drivers will have more time than usual to tear the cars down and put them together again, which seems to be the chief ambition of all members of the racing clan. The conversational tachometer of th railbiids is speeding up with remarkable celerity as the “speed bugs” gather at the local course. In five minutes yesterday during an inside gathering while a shower was “reigning supreme,” revolutions per minute jumped from 4,000 to 5,300.
