TRIBE OUT TO MAKE UP FOR BREWER JOLT With Better Pitching Promised Today, Indians Saw Encouraging Outlook. NEW TWIRLERS BEATEN
MILWAUKEE, May 21.—Brewer fans were In gleeful spirits today and hopeful that Manager Jack Hendricks of the visiting Hooslers would trot out another batch of sore-arm pitchers for the local batsmen to 6hoot at. Mr. Jack was very kind Friday when he sent Harry Weaver, late of the Chicago Cubs, to the mound, for Harry did not have enough to puzzle an amateur. When the Brewers finished with Harry, Manager Jack sent Seiffert, late of the Ciney Ileds, to the hill, but Seiffert did not show any Improvement over Weaver and between the two the Bi ewers amassed enough runs to put them so far in the lead that It was Impossible for the Indians to catch up. The final score was 12 to 7, the Brewers doing most of the their business in the third inning when they jumped on Weaver and Seiffert for nine runs. The Indians fought back as hard as possible, but they were under too much of a handicap. Sicking and Morrison got home runs and Doug Baird gave the Brewer fans something to talk about when he stole three bases. Lear and Hauser hit circuit wallops for the Brewers. Bartlett finished the game on the mound for the Indians and showed fairiy effective stuff. In the combat this afternoon Hendricks planned to use Stryker or Enzmann on the tnound. Ha was somewhat discouraged over the poor showing of Weaver and Seiffert, as their failure to come through leaves him with ouly four dependable twiriers, namely Cavet, Stryker, Enzmann and Bartlett. After witnessing the Indians in action twice. Brewer fans were expressing the opinion today that the Hoosiers will srack up like a pennant winner if Hendricks can bolster the pitching staff. The showing of Weaver and Seiffert Friday was a sorry sight and opinion here is that these two twiriers will not be in Hoosier uniforms long. The Indians will close their series here Sunday, after which they will go to Kansas City to meet the leading Bines. The Hoosiers are due home Slay 2S. Slarquette University friends of Outfielder Ralph Shinners turned out in big numbers Friday as a mark of respect to their former college mate. The rah rah boys were right there with the big league stuff also. They pooled their change, bought Ralph a wrist watch and presented it to the Tribe star with much ceremony.

Swnrtzburg of Culver and Wi.lla of the Indianapolis ”Y,” swam together in an open 150 Tard back stroke last Saturday, Willis being Judged the winner in what looked to the spectators to be a dead beat. Swartzburg was hampered by his suit dropping down off cne shoulder and expects to be able to swim a faster race tonight. Kniptnsh. present holder of .ae A. A. U. record for the 100 yard back stroke, will also be a strong contender. The A, A. U. record seems certain to bo broken in this event. The 440 yard breast stroke will he between Darby, the State “Y” champion breast stroker; Faure, A. A. IT. champion In the 220 breast stroke, and Roberts, captain of the Purdne team, and member of the all-American second team. Darby, the local entrant, has the longest stioke of any. and this should be an advantage In this long event. Faure. Culver’s entrant, has demonstrated his class beyond question, but in winning bis 220 yard championship, did not have enough margin over the husky Roberts to convince the dopsters that Purdue has not a yood chance to grab off the first A.

DE PALMA GETS GOOD TIME OUT OF NEW MOTOR Broken Connecting Rod Forces Popular Italian to Make Shift. MILTON TRAVELS FAST
With a brand new. snick and span motor installed in his Ballot, Ralph De Palma reeled out on the speedway track just before sundown yesterday, and after a few preliminary warming up laps, proceeded to knock off three laps under 1:33, one of which was caught at 1:32 flat. This is almost exactly the pace he has been cutting out with his old motor. Thursday was Ralph's Jonah day. First of all he eaaght fire, and after repairing the damage done by this he went out again for practice, but at the head on his first lap, just as he was swinging into the home stretch, he broke a connecting rod, which jammed through the bottom of his cran't case, and right there ami then the old Ballot motor, the veteran of many a hard-fought battle on track and road, was out of commission as far as the Decoration day 560mile race was concerned. But as protection against Just such a misfortune, I)e Palma has provided himself with a reserve Ballot motor, the exact duplicate of the one that went bad Thursday. So putting his two nephews. Pete and Johnny De Paola, to work along with Jean Marcenac the French mechanical genius from tie Ballot factory, and taking a very important hand in the proceedings himself, he again got the Ballot ready for the track, and its three laps proved that the new motor is a worthy successor to the old one. The best time oi the day was made by Tommy Milton in Louis Chevrolet’s new eight-in-a-row Frontenac. Milton cracked off a number of snappy laps and was caught on one of them in 1.311-5. Milton's car takes the straightaways like a streak of blue lightning, but on the turns it has a marked tendency toward indulging in the "shimmy," giving an observer the impression that either it is a trifle light in the rear system or, as some of the mechanics around the pit say, it needs an additional s>-t of shock absorbers. At all events, Milton was having to fight his wheel considerably when hitting the turns at high speed. The last man to take the track was Dario Rests In his Sunbeam. He did not try any fancy stuff, but deemed content with laps varying from 1 :4t) to 1:45. Mtltor. tried hard to coax him into a brush, but Kesta apparently was not ready for any real speed stuff. Today was "drivers’ day" at the Speedway and every car entered in the big race was to be seen on the track sometime during the afternoon. The pilots mid mechanics worked hard on their mounts yesterday afternoon in an effort to get them in shape for the exhibition runs, and seme real speed was promised. The entire proceeds of the gate this afternoon will tie donated to the citizens' lap prize fund.

NEW Y'ORK, May 21.—Jack Gleason, former promoter and manager: “Dempsey ought to win from Carpentier in about four rounds. The Frenchman is a fast man and a good boxer, but I don’t believe he Is strong enough to keep the aggressive American away from him.

JACK GENTLE WITH DOGS, BUT NOT SO WITH SPARRING MATES
By TAD, Special Correspondent of The Times. ATLANTIC CITY, May 21.—You can call him Old Dock Dempsey after this. He has a needle, a bit of medicine and silk ttirend. While throwing a stick to his Belgian police dogs, the lady of the pair, christened “Sophie Ginsberg,” ran against a nail in a post and ripped a hole in her side that required Immediate attention. ’ The champion called Teddy Hayes, his secretary, and sat down to his work. He cleaned the cut with warm water, painted it with iodine and then, after soaking the silk thread in alcohol, put eight sticbes in Sophie's side. NOT A WHIMPER OUT OF SOPHIE. “She didn't even whimper,” said the big fellow, as we sat down to lunch. ‘‘Site’s a game bird, and I really believe she knew that I was helping her. I tied her up to the house, so she won’t hurt herself again, and I won't let her loose until I take out the stlches. Remember how Jeffries sewed up Fitzsimmons’ leg at Harbin Springs after the cub bear bit him? Jeff was good, wasn’t he? Well, he has nothing on me now. I'm some doctor. “Say. you should have seen Dr. Hemmingway watching me stitch Sophie's side. You know, Dr. Hemminaway Is Sophie's brother. They were christened Thursday. Well, he had his nose right on my lap all the while. He is sitting over by Ginsberg s doghouse now. "Bovs,” said Jack, after we had licked our cnops, “I want you to try some of

Dempsey wasn't the same smiling, boyish chap we had seen a few minutes before. fie was a fighting man, full of business. He doesn’t look to the right or to the left, but goes about his work as though he was being paid by the second and wanted to earn his money. Stopping the shadow work, he strolled over to the leather sandbag and hammered it for twelve minutes. You can judge his condition by that alone. Any bird who can sock a 150 pound sandbag for that length of time must be In fair shape. Without a moment’s rest, he took on big Jack Renault and they started at it. During the three minutes Renault was in there Dempsey knocked him all over the ring. Jack Clifford and Leo Houck followed Renault and both took 'em as the sandbag had taken 'eta. After some exercise of the stomach muscles and some rolling around, the champion called it a day.

CORBETT SAYS FRENCHMAN IS REAL ATHLETE Day With Georges Shows Yet That Champ Has Job on Hands. KILLS ‘NERVE’ RUMOR By JAMES J. CORBETT. Former World’s Heavyweight Champion. MANHASSET, L. 1., Mav 21.—Georges Carpentier is a real athlete. He is intelligent, too, and very scieuticfic about everything •'••n. he does. I can m;.k< hese positive statements after visiting dm at his training camp here and I w. at to say that whether he wins from Jack Dempsey or not, he is a mighty likely looking chap. He showed me through his quarters here, explained everything and seemed to be very contented. He has ideal quari ters. I like them very much, much bet- ! ter than Dempsey's in fact, because they are away from the big crowds. The indoor and outdoor rings are well set up, though smaller than the one in which Georges will meet Dempsey at Jersey City. He explained that he always works in a small ring because when he gets into a real fight it gives him a feeling that he has more room. Some people have gained the impression that Georges is nervous. I don't think so. He strikes me as perfectly natural and he hasn't changed since his last visit so far as I can see. As for ths nervous past of it—why should he be nervous? He has had many a fight in his time and one more or less should make no difference to him. He told me that he weighs 175 pounds and expects to go into the ring weighing no more than 170. That weight is plenty for him and I can say that he will be big enough to face any man. Why, when I fought Peter Jackson years ago, I weighed only 168 pounds and he weighed 204, yet we fought sixty-one rounds and were at it four hours. Carpentier planned to spend today, tomorrow and perhaps Monday resting. He will begin light boxing and increase his road work beginning Tuesday, according to plans. Like Dempsey, he is going to start with light work and whoop it up as the time grows shorter. (Copyright, 1921, by International Newa Service.)
