TRIBESMEN GET TOGETHER WITH LEADING BLUES Indians Hope for Victory Behind Pitching of Veteran Caret. BEAT BREWERS SUNDAY KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 23.—Jack Hendricks' Indians were here today ready to open a series with the leading Blues this afternoon and local fans were all worked up over the contest. Hendricks stated be had slated Pug Cavet for mound duty In the opener and for this reason the Hoosier athletes felt confident they would down the Blues. It is Hendricks' plan to push Cavet back against the Haws Thursday if the veteran came through with flying colors today. The Indians were somewhat train weary when they reached here today, for they left Milwaukee yesterday evening at 6:30, immediately following their 15 to 5 victory over the Brewers. The Sunday victory gave the Indians an even break with the Brewtown gang and they were fortunate to get that much of a break, considering the shaky condition the pitching staff is in. Stryker, Weaver and Enzmann all were on the mound Sunday, the last named doing an excellent Job after he entered the fray. In the meantime the Hoosiers bombarded Northrop and Barnes for plenty of hits and runs and, when the curtain dropped, the Indians certainly had marked up a decisive victory. Baird got a home run and the other hitting feature was contributed by Hank Schreiner, who crashed the ball for two triples and a single. The Saturday contest at Milwaukee went to the Brewers by a 7 to 6 score, three Brewer home runs putting the Tribe out of the running. Enzmann, Bartlett and Stryker hurled at various times in the Saturday contest. The Hoosiers had tied the game in the ninth, but a Hauser home run followed in the Brewers’ half of that inning, and that clout ended the day's hostilities. Rube Lutzke, Tribe utility lnfielder. did not accompany the team to Kansas City, and he has been placed on the suspended list. Rube objected to bench duty but Manager Hendricks could not use him in the face of the good work being done by the regulars. Lutzke lives In Milwaukee and he decided it was a good spot to retire in. The Rube is rated a good fielder, but he is a weak hitter and a poor base runner. Pitcher Seiffert has been turned back j to the Reds and it is understood that he 1 has been transferred to the Terre Haute Three-1 League team. He did not show sufficient class for the American Association. Manager Hendricks is walking the floor over the shaky Tribe pitching situation, j Stryker is complaining of a weak side and he may not be available in the j series here. After fonr games with the Blues, the Indians will head for home Thursday night. Friday is an off-day, but on Sat- i uraay the Indians will get plenty of t action when they meet the Louisville Colonels in a double-header at Washington Park. , Not So Worse INDIANAPOLIS. ' AB. R.

C.s won, 8 to 7, and in "the Sunday struggle the locals copped. 5 to 3. The A. B. C.s played sensational ball to win Sunday, Clark. Williams. Jefferies and Washington contributing fielding features. Dicta Johnson also won the plaudits of the big Sunday crowd by showing old-time form after he had j relieved Jefferies on the mound. The A. B. C s displayed improved fighting spirit yesterday, and this asset enabled them to win despite good pitching on the part of Redding, the Bacharach mainstay hurler. C. I. Taylor was out on the coaching lines and he kept the boys hustling. The series with the Giants will be continued through Wednesday. Outwit Blue Laws SIOUX FALLS. S.

OLDFIELD SAYS LUCK WILL BE CHIEF FACTOR Barney Believes Speedway Victory Rests in Hands of Old Dame Fortune. FAST FIELD IS REASON By BARNEY OLDFIELD, Veteran Motor Pilot. The deciding factor of the ninth annual 500-mlle International Sweepstakes, which will be held here one week from today, will be —A woman. So closely does the race figure In advance that the smile of this well known member of the fair sex will determine the fortunes of each of the twenty-five daredevils and their steel mounts. Every Indication points to all existing records being broken, but Indications have pointed this way several times before. The percentage is against the record being broken. When Howdy" Wilcox won the race in 1919, he was stepping along at a mere 83 miles an hour until he had to stop. Last year Ralph Do Paima was way beyond that record, as wan Joe Boyer, who won most zf the lap prizes. But both had to stop at the pits, and the rdtoril again withstood the onslaughts of the speed demons. Still evervthlng Is favorable to tne 1921 classic establishing the record that each year has been the hope of drivers and Speedway officials. There are more evenly matched cars entered than ever before. There are more eveulv matched drivers of experience and without fear. The year the present record was established, there were five cars and five drivers coming down the home stretch in almost every lap under a blanket. This year, I could name offhand, elgnt cars and eight drivers and maybe more, so evenly match' and in skill and possessed of mounts capable of producing speed and blessed with endurance. M ith wise heads in the pits to back up the natural physical and mechanical ability It is a 50-50 proposition that the records may go by the roads. Asa betting proposition it is a tlip of a coin. If 1 were wagering and anyone offered me 2 to 1 the record would be broken, I would take tho short end I would also want the short end If they bet me the record would not be broken. . . .. Which brings me right back to the woman and her smile, the deciding factor —Dame Fortune. DRIVERS SHOW THEIR WARES Saturday was "show off day” at tho Speedway, and all drivers who had their cars in shape were out on the track supplying the biggest crowd of the practice season with plenty of thrills. The proceeds of the afternoon went to boost the lap prize fund, which was increased $2,392. The two best brushes of the afternoon were staged by Ralph De Palma and Tommy Milton, and Howdy Wilcox, Bennie Hill and Jean Chassagne. De Palma and Milton offered the first bit of fun when they tore around the track so several laps, with first one leading, then the other. De Palma tore off a few laps at slightly better than 100 miles per hour. Wilcox,' 11111 and Chassngne came out a short time later, and again brought the fans to their feet with some pretty brushes down the front stretch. Practically ail the drivers were around the track and those who did not have cars ready for the show were introduced to the fans.

Local Track Stars Conquer Over Large Field at Franklin Manual First in State High School Meet—Technical Finishes Second. By HEZE CLARK. Coach "Shorty" Morrison’s thinly-clad athletes from Manual Training High School won the nineteenth annual State track meet of the I. H. S. A. A., Saturday, at Goodell field, Franklin. Conch Black's Technical High School team was second. The points scored by the teams In the State championship meet follow. Manual, 19; Technical. 15; Wabash, 13; Warsaw, Elkhart, Bedford and Anderson, 6 points each; Hushville, Brazil, Frankfort, Rochester and Wiley, 5 points each; Garfield, Connersville, Sheridan, Martinsville, Prlnrfton, 3 points each; Bloomfield, Shortridge, South Bend. Plymouth, Crawfordsville and Pine Township, 1 point each. GRAY WINS • GOLD MEDAL In the ten sectional meets there were 120 high school teams entered, and sixtyfive of these teams had men qualify for the State meet. The arrangements made by Coach John Thurber of FrankIfn College for the conducting of the big athletic carnival were perfect In every detail. Every event was run off In scheduled time, and at the close of the meet members of the State high school athletic board congratulated Coach Thurber and other Franklin College authorities on the way the meet was conducted. At the close of tho games Coach Thurber presented the athletes who won points with gold, silver and bronze medals. Manual Training High School men also were awarded the beautiful silver trophy cup for the champion team. Manual also won a silver cup by capturing the second section relay championship. Brazil won the first section relay championship. Gray, the Technical sprinter, won the gold medal awarded for the high point winner. The little speed merchant well deserved the honor, for he won both the 100-yard dash and the 220 yard dush from the largest field of starters who ever competed In the sprint races in a State meet. It was a meet full of surprises. Evans of Brazil broke ihe State high jump record, clearing the bar at 6 feet and Vj inch. Cramer of Mar insvllle was sec ond and Miller of Andtrson third. BAD SPILL STOPS MARKS. The turning point of the meet came In the final heat o fthe 220-yard low hurdles. Twice had Marks of Wabnsh stepped over the hurdles in .26 2-5 seconds, which Is 2 5 of a second faster than the record held by Allison of Richmond for fourteen rears Marks was all in after three heats' In the low hurdles nnd a hard quarter mile race, lu which he finished third. However, ho was lending by a safe margin in the finals of the low hurdle when he trlped on the sixth hurdle, and fell. Front of Manual won in 27 4-5 seconds. I‘iirr of Sheridan was second and Dinwiddle of Crawfordsville third. Had Marks won thnt race Wabash would probably have been State champions. . The heavy entry list In the pole-vault made that event a long drawn out contest In which endurance counted. Thirtytwo men contested in the vault. E. llarmeson of Manual had won the event last year and was expected to win again, but finished thtrd, not coming close to the wonderful records he has made In other meets. Miller of Anderson was first, vaulting U feet l inch. Sevedge of Princeton was second In the first relay Brazil was first. On tral of Evansville second and Delphi third The time was 3 minutes 44 2 5 seconds. In the second relay race Manual won by a wide margin and was not forced to open up.

JACK GUARDS AGAINST STALENESS
BY TAD, Special Correspondent of The Times. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 23.—" You can eay for me that Dempsey will be In better shape for this fight than he has ever been In his life before,” said Jack Kearns today. “A lot of people think Jack will be stale. Don’t let that worry you, "Everything here Is run on schedule. Jack doesn't do five minutes of hard work each day. That big guy eats like a horse and he needs exercise for his appetite. "He could not sit around all day, soak up sunshine without that work. He isn't going at the gaff hard and I don't think he will start it for eight or ten days yet. Why, he's only kidding with those sparring partners now. He Isn't letting his punches go. Y'ou fellows may think he Is socking for a kill, but he Isn’t. "He taps a light bag, bumps a few sparring partners, wrestles and pulls the big leather bag and that Is about all for the day. He hasn't done any real road work yet. He walks with his dogs

Pirates Threaten to Clinch Pennant Early NEW YORK, Msy 23.—George Gibson’s pounding Pittsburgh Plrstes are surely blazing a livid trail down ths Nation league. With a four and a-half gam* lead over th second-placs Gtanta, the Pirates have a tight grip on flr,t place today, and if the form they are vhowlng means anything the end Is not j With nearly 40,000 ranid fans looking on, the Pirates opened their series st the Polo OrouDds by trimming the Giants Sunday. And they came from behind to do It. No Pittsburgh club since the days of 1909 hns looked half so good. Gibson's bovs seem to do everv thing well and their playing Is full at the speed and snap that is Inspired by confidence and perfect co-ordination among the members of the team. Ilavtiig won twenty five games and lost but six. with the season little more than a month old, Pittsburgh has laid a fine foundation on which to build . championship. and unless the pitchers crack the critics are beginning to believe that Gibby's team is destined to dethrone the Dodgers. _ WHO’LL WIN? NEW YORK. May 23. — Babe Adams, veteran pitcher of the Pirates: ‘Tiempsey will win. There will not be much to it. Dempsey is too hard a puncher for Carpentler und even though the Frenchman might boa wonderful boxer, no one can box the champion and win. If they both go In to punch, it ought to be over in a hurry. Otherwise Dempsey In about five rounds.”

He was Jack Clifford, the Brooklyn boy. He came to Dempsey’s camp filled with ambition and left with a black eye and a hazy recollection of things.

Manager Kearns has turned down an invitation for the champion to attend a blowout in New York of the National Vaudeville Association. Says Jack couldn’t afford to break training.

Turnstiles to Play Million-Dollar Tune Day of Big Scrap Corbett Says It's Somewhat Different From Days of His Fisticuffs. BY JAMES J. CORBETT, Former World's Heavyweight Champion. PITTSBURGH, Pa.. May 23.—A1l records for championship boxing receipts will fall July 2, when Dempsey and Carpentler meet. The turnstiles will click off a merry million dollar tune. , The boxers will earn the biggest dividends in the history of the game and Promoter Tex Rickard will realize a record sum for himself. When one pauses to consider that a man in the public eye should be worth a fair share of what he can attract to the box office, criticism of the financial features of the big fight seems unfair. In the fact of conditions existing today and the popularity of the match, I do not believe Rickard’s guarantee to the fighters is too large. SIO,OOO PURSE BIG IN THE OLD DAYS. Dempsey will reoeivo 36 per cent for his end. Carpentier will get 24 per cent. No doubt their shares of the receipts will total well above $500,009 originally offered. In the old days of boxing such purses were never dreamed of. The first big purse ever fought for in this country was offered to Peter Jackson and mvself, away back in 1891, by the California Athletic Club of San Francisco. This match was made after I fought Choynski and when the matchmaker of the club approached me I demanded a purse of SIO,OOO, to be split. $8,500 to the winner and $1,500 to tho loiter. He thought I was crazy. E\erybody laughed at me. But the club finally agreed. I'll never forget that flsffct, for two reasons. In the first place, Jackson and I fought sixty-one rounds over a period of four hours. Last, but not least, I did not get a cent for my efforts. When the sixty-first round ended they declared the bout no contest and I was skinned out of my money. I’m sura that Jackson got paid, for he later suggested a return match before the club. He wouldn’t have done that otherwise. Prior to that time any big money carried off by boxers was the result of side bets. The promoters never dreamed of a SIO,OOO purse. John L. Sullivan and I fought for a purse of $25,000 and $20,000 stake money at New Orleans in 1892. In 1597 Fitzsimmons and I drew $22,000 at Carson City. The gate for my bout with Kid McCoy in New Tork in 1900 was $56,350, and when Jeff and I fought in San Francisco in 1905 the boxing public turned $03,340 into the box office. lu those days SIO,OOO was big money. It went almost as far as $50,000 would go today. The cost of living was reasonable and the boxer who carted “ten grand" was indeed fortunate. So I consider that in many ways I was almost as well paid for several of my fights as the stars of pugilism today. Beginning tomorrow, I will take up with my readers a series of discussions of the Important fights Carpentler and Dempsey have had. Within a short time 1 will be with the fighters again, and by that time I expect they will be showing something worth while in training. (Copyright, 1921, by Internationa- News Service.) State A. A.

JONES WINNER IN FIRST BIG GOLF MEETING Puts British Star Down 3 and 2 in First International Match. OUIMET ALSO DELIVERS BY FRANK CARRUTHERS, Editor of Golf Illustrated. HOY LAKE, England, May 23—Bobby Jones, the youthful golf genius from At lanta, Ga., scored the first victory for the American invaders in the British amateur championship which started here today. Jones and G. C. Manford of Luffnese New, were the first to get away, teeing off at 8:30 o’clock this morning. Jonesdefeated his opponent, winning his first” round match, 3 up and 2 to play. On the first nine holes Jones made a sensational start, winning the first hole in three. I’ar for this hole is four. Manford took the next two holes with seven and four yard putts. Jones topped his approach to the fifth, but squared with Manford on the sixth and went out one up. R. K. Burton, of Mid-Surrey, defeated Thompson, an American, though not 8 member of the team, 3 and 1. Angus Hambro, M. I*., of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, beat Douglas Grant of Royal St. Georges, a former California champion, 2 up. Jones’ card on the homeward court* was not as impressive as his play going out. Manford gave him the eleventh hole. On the twelfth Jones shot Hadley, being short twice. On the fourteenth he drove into the brushes and looked likely to lose the hole, but Manford ia putting, knocked the American's ball a yard nearer the hole and then missed a yard putt himself. Francis Ouimet of Boston turned in the second victory for the American golf team in the first round of the championship when he defeated C. E. Dick, Royal Liverpool Club, 3 up and 2 to play. Chick Evans also delivered for the Yankees when he defeated Stoner-Crowther 5 up and 4 to play. Hunt of the American team defeated Crichton 3 up and 1 to play. G. O. Hutchison scratched in his match with Fownes. Fred Wright beat M. W, Seymour, 1 up. J. Wood Platt, who was to have met MaJ. H. A. Boyd, was forced out of play in the championships by an injury. He fell downstairs and badly injured his leg, which had to be placed in splints. The beginning of today’s tournament marked America's first big challenge of the year to Great Britain on the golf links nnd they met a veritable army, for tho British Isles has more than 200 entrants. Though som* of ths knowing ones reveal an inclination to discount Bobby Jones as a callow youth who may crack under the strain of this big championship tourney, there is no doubt but that the public at large has its eye on the “child wonder.” Varden even publicly declares that Jones is a "child geniu." Jones certainly showed no nervousness today. Records Fall in I. C. A. L. Meet Taken by Earlham; Tennis Laurels Divided Earlham easily won the I. C. A.
