TRIBE INVADES MILLER LAYOUT FULL OF FIGHT Spirits High as Club Moves Into Third Leg of Road Trip. TOO COLD AT ST. PAUL MINNEAPOLIS, May 14.—After being "frized" out of their fonrth and final game with Bt. Paul yesterday afternoon, the Indianapolis Indians followed Manager Hendricks' steer into Minneapolis today for the opening of their four-game engagement with the Minneapolis Millers. The hustling Hooslers hare a mean program of humiliation mapped out for the locals and If they are not careful they will find themselves on the down grade when Chief Jack leads his athletes away from here to conquer in other fields. Both the Indianapolis and St. Paul players tried hard to make themselves think that yesterday’s weather at 3t, Paul was good for a diamond scrap. They went to the park and donned the uniforms, eager to get into action, but there were not enough fans out to crowd a flivver, so the bosses finally agreed that tha Weather Reserves deserved the fourth game of the series. In three games played with the Saints, the Indians tucked two victories under their belts. But, after all, the off day came in pretty handy to Hendricks’' athletes. The pitching staff has had some pretty rough usage again in the last few days, and the club was by no means in shape to play standard ball yesterday. Pug Caret probably would have had to work on the mound yesterday, and the wrenched arm suffered at Louisville was hardly fit for the occasion. However, the extra rest helped it along a good deal, and the veteran hurler says he will be dishing 'em out as per usual before the Tribe breaks camp here. Tex Covington also is expected back at the initial sack before the Miller series closes. Tex stuck around the park to limber up a bit after the g§me was called off yesterday, and says his bad ankle Is coming along in great style. It is a sure thing that the Redskins will feel more like themselves when Tex and Pug are scratched from the hospital list. Leo Seiffert, hurler obtained from the Cincinnati Reds, had informed Manager Hendricks that he would report, ready for action, here today, and his coming was anxiously awaited. If Seiffert proves “the goods” Manager Hendricks can take some of his pitching troubles off his mind and spend a few more hours each night between the sheets. Charley Whltehouse yesterday was sold bv Manager Hendricks to the Omaha club of the Western League. Tne Tribe boss has given “Whltey” plenty of time to get In shape, but he does not seem able to make the grade, and it was decided to let the pitcher go. It is a certainty that the Indian hitting ability has dropped none since the team left Indianapolis. The club as a whole 1r cracking the horsebide for something like a .307 average since leaving home, with two men hitting over .400 ar.d six of them are coming along over the .300 mark. Kinsella is leading the club with a percentage of .440, with Baird hitting .414.

The Waseda University team of Japan was here for a tilt with the Bulldog nine on Irwin field, and the Irvington students made the party a grand and glorious affair.

Following the contest, both teams were to be guests of the college at a banquet at the Claypool Hotel, and later at a theater party at B. F. Keith's. The Japs were defeated, 5 to 3, at Purdue yesterday, but they piss up a great scrap, and were expected to prove all the opposition the Butlerltes could take care of this afternoon.

COMFORTS OF HOME FOR GEORGES

' By JAMES J. COKBETT, Former Heavyweight Champion of the World. (Copyright, 1021, by International News Service.) MANHASSET, L. 1., May I.—Georges Carpentier is going to feel very much at home when he settles down to training next week at Matthews’ farm, on the edge of this pretty little residential town. Gus Wilson, his faithful friend and trainer, has seen to that. All of the paraphernalia that Georges used on the other side of the pond when training for Joe Beckett and other opponents has been shipped to this country and now is ready for the arrival of the French champion. Wilson has everything—punching bags, sandbags, weight pulleys, rubbing tables, etc.—in place and Carpentier's quarters are as spick and span as could be. What appeals to me most of all, however, is a surprise Wilson has in store for Georgres. Before telling of it, I must explain that in France Carpentier has a fine German-bred police dog, of which he thinks the world. When Georges trains on his native soil this dog is always with him, though he never takes it out of the country. GIS BORROWS JACK'S DOG. Now, Jack Curley, who is to be one of Carpentier’s advisers in matters pertaining to the coming fight with Dempsey—also has a police dog. Several weeks ago Curley was surprised when Wilson cams to him and asked U he might not taJta

Cleveland Hits Bad Going in First Set of East-West Games Other Leaders Keep Stride and Results Carry No Surprises. By HENRY L. FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, May 14 —No startling results were produced by the first skirmishes of the East-West lntersectlonal battles in the major leagues. With the exception of the Cleveland Indians, form was followed by all the leaders. Tris Speaker learned what the Eastern teams come to know—that Washington is a mighty tough ball club to beat. The world's champions succeeded In winning only one game out of four from the Senators, and thus dropped their first series of the year. The Pirates, National League pace setters, took two out of three games from the Boston Braves, but they had to go the limit to get them. The Braves are also a tough club to beat, even If they don’t seem headed for any place In particular. . The St. Louis Cardinals, who had been easy meat for all the western clubs gave the Giants quiet a Job. McGraw's men won two of the four games, but they were a pleased ball club when the ninth inning removed the pesky Rickeyites. Brooklyn found the Reds so easy In the first games that Robby's men threw a peeve when the Cincinnati club grabbed the last number of the series. The Yanks went through the Detroit series and won three out of four games —largely with the help of the great Babe Ruth. Tho Yanks are in a Borry plight f’.r pitchers. Johnny Evers Is still driving his Cubs along. Ht took three out of four games from the Phillies. The Boston Red Sox, who are traveling right along, took two <>ut of three from the shattered White Hox.

this dog to the Matthews farm. He readily assented and Wilson went away with the dog on leash. Today the fiithfvl Wilson has taught Curley's dog to understand a few simple words In French, ouch as Carpentier will use In addressing it when on the road. ‘‘Georges will be delighted," said Wilson with a satisfied smile. “He will feel much more at home and he will always take the dog on the road with him.” Wilson tells me also that "Carp’s” training will be absolutely private, except for a few friends and members of tije press. His outdoor ring which, by the way, is the same one in which Stanley Ketchel and Jack O’Brien fought for Johnny White, on Twenty-Third street, some years ago, has been completely closed in by a high fence. There are no bleachers around this ring and there will be none. GEORGES DEE HEBE MONDAY. Latest reports Indicate that Carpentier will not reach New York before Monday afternoon.

High School Track Athletes Battle in Big Annual Tourney Manual Looms as Favorite in Sectional Meet at Fair Grounds. \ Athletes from 120 high schools today were scheduled to compete in ten sectional track and field meets held In various parts of the State. Local Interest, however, centered In the big meet scheduled at the Indiana State fair grounds this afternoon. In this meet six teams were entered.

Winners of first and second place In any event of the ten sectional meets will compete for honors In the big State meet to be held next week at Franklin. Last year Manual won the State track and field meet and Technical was third. The fact., that these two strong teams ■were in the Indianapolis sectional attracted much attention locally. However, Noblesville, one of the most evenly balanced track team in the Stute, and Sheridan a team that has some of the best allround athletes, were much feared by tha Indianapolis schools. Advance dope on the meet today at the fair grounds pointed to the, breaking of at least two records. Northam, the Sheridan star has already broken the State record In the running broad jump this year, leaping 22 feet. He has been doing close to this mark so consistently that he was expected .o set anew record today. Gardner, the wonderful half-mile runner of Manual, wag picked by critics to lower the mark in that race. Gray, the Tech whirlwind, ruled as a favorite in the dashes. ,

"In some ways he U better than any boxer in the world ana I have seen most of the good ones in my time. Carpentier has more science than any living fighter and has innumerable little tricks that no other boxer possesses. “Carpentier also packs a terrific punch that will knock out any living man if he lands it. Os course he Is lighter than Dempsey, but if he gets his punch over the champloii will go down, and stay down. . “I discovered Carpentier has one good asset possessed by no other fighter I have ever seen. He can hit a tremendous blow while poised on the balls of the feet—that’s something that every fighter in hißtory has wanted to do and couldn't. “Carpentier with this faculty can smash over a blow, with the entire weight of the body behind, plus the normal force of the blow. Other fighters can get only the weight of their body above tha hips info the blow, because they have to keep one or both feet flat on the floor.”
