ANOTHER LARGE DAY FOR TRIBE AND COLONELS Clash in Second Bargain Bill k of Series With Indians One Ahead. CAVET WINS ANOTHER It was another big day at the Tribe lot. The Indians and Colonels were slated in the second bargain bill of their scries, and there was a perfect setting for two more real battles—the kind that only the Indianapolis and Louisville clubs can put on. The iocals had the edge on the visitors before the double-header today, having won two of the three games played over the week-end. We got a split in the double bill Saturday and Pug Cavet came through with another win Sunday afternoon. In the Crst game Saturday, the Indians went eleven innings to win, 5 to 4, and in the second game the Louisville athletes stacked up four runs in the ninth to collect a 10-to-7 win. The Tribe got four runs for Cavet yesterday against three for the Colonels. Jess Petty and Lee Bartlett looked like the Indian moundsmen in this afternoon's gan.~>e. Petty and Bartlett both worked in games, but they felt in shape to come back at the Louisville clan again this afternoon. Yesterday's win, coming while the Blues were taking a couple o£ thumpings front the Milwaukee Brewers, put the Hendricksmen out iu front in the A. A. chase, ar.d today they were determined to hang onto this position at any cost. A double victory was the big order this afternoon. The Indians and Colonels put on a scrap yesterday that kept the fans on their toes all the while. The Indians counted first in the second frame, and when the Kentuckians evened the count in the fifth our boys came right back for another in the same frame. Louisville got two in the sixth, giving them the lead for the first and only time during the scrap, but Hank Schreiber met the occasion here by sending one out over the low right field fence for a circuit trip. The bail hit inside the fence and bounced over. The game was won in the ninth inning when Schreiber started things off with a single. Sicking sacrificed and Dixon was safe at first and Hank went to third when Schepner made a bad peg on Dixon's grounder. Then came the old war horse. Pug himself. Pug let the first one go so that Dixon could get to second, then he sent a mean baby down the first base line. Kirke was handcuffed and Betzel fielded the ball, but too late to keep Schreiber from carrying the winning tally over the rubber. “Little Joe" caused all the excitement Saturday. Jess Petty, pitching his first game for the Tribe since coining back from Cleveland, worked in great style on the mound up to the ninth inning. L'p to this time Jess had the Louisville boys in his pocket, but in the ninth they crawled out and crashed out five clean bingles to score four runs and tie the count. The Indian victory came about In tbo second extra session, when Kinsella crashed out a single with a mate on second. The troublesome four hooped up again In the ninth frame of the second contest. The Indians rode into this inning on a 7 to 8 lead, but the visiting sluggers got their heads together at the last minute and figured themselves into possession of four more runs, which gave them a P to 7 win, and a fifty-halfty split for the day's work.

MAJOR CHASES GROW STRONGER Yanks Cut Lead of Cleveland -—Pirates Pressed by Giants. Test- -a-T-y BY JACK VEIOCK. ■ NEW YORK, May 30.—Double-barreled pennant races were the order in both major leagues as the teams swept into the second quarter of their schedules today. in the National League the Pirates and Giants were out in front, with the 1920 champion Dodgers six games in the wake of New York, and Pittsburgh leading McGrow's men by the scant margin of two games. By fattening up at the expense of the Athletics,, the Yankees have cut the lead of the world's champion Indians to two and one-half games and the men of Huggins now appear more dangerous than they have at any time since the season opened, for they will have a long stretch of games at home in the near future and Cleveland must hit the road. The Detroit Tigers, who have furnished one of the real surprises of the season, are three games behind the second place Yankees, but Cobb's entry does not look strong enough to horn into the YaukeeIndians monopoly. Pittsburgh fans are holding their breath as the Pirates begin to exhibit signs of faltering. George Gibson's team has been tbe sensation of the season since the National League race got under way, vet the Pirates have found a stumbling block in Cincinnati. The Reds have won six of the ten games Pittsburgh has lost this season.

'SKIPpgS

WHO’LL WIN?

SAN FRANCISCO, May 50—Willie Ritchie, former lightweight champion: “If the odds are high enough 1 11 bet on Carpentier, but I want Dempsey to win. I figure the Frenchman has n chance, if Dempsey had trouble with a big, slow fellow like Bill Brennan, he'll have difficulty connecting wit htho fast., experienced Carpentier. If Dempsey misses a few times he is apt to fight carefully. That means he'll lose his greatest asset, aggressiveness and confidence." WIGGINS-GREB DRA.WW. SOUTH BEND, Ind., May 30.—CUnek Wiggins cf Indianapolis and Harry Greb of Pittsburgh fought a slashing ten-round battle to a draw here Saturday afternoon. The bout was advertised as for the light heavyweight championship of the world. Wiggins and Greo were after each other from the start and every round was crowded with action. Greb took the lead in the early rounds, but as the scrap wore on Wiggins orged ahead and in the eighth, ninth ami tenth rounds he gave the Pittsburgh battler a sound lacing. IV BOB’S COUNTRY. HUNTINGTON, W. Va., May 30—Ten thousand people were expected to attend the ten-round fight between Gunboat Smith of New York and Bob Martin, heavyweight A. E. F. champion, and the pride of West Virginia, here today. Betting favors Martin with odds of 10 to 7. Supporters of Smith are in evidence and are demanding odds.

ROUNDIN’ AROUND THE SPEEDWAY — WITH EDDIE ASH.

Whew! rienty hot! A vender of snowballs would have reaped a fortune. Must be great stuff to wi|ness a race from a pleasure standpoint only. Along about noon the sport writers were “saying it with flowers.” They were as groggy as a land-marooned fish. As usual, the press stand was packed with many who didn't represent the press. Pretty soft for the birds who gel in the press stand as onlookers only. Hot dogs found a ready sale, despite the furnace-like heat. A hot dog is a hot dog under any and all conditions. Countless people and countless autos. All makes of cars were parked within and without the grounds. "Jumping Jupiters” held their own with the most expensive when it came to dodging through tbe traffic. Race fans never failed to applaud when Ralph De Palma streaked b.v in his tan Ballot. Os course other drivers shared in the applause, but Smiling Ralph got the big part. Howdy Wilcox was a close second, however. Many fans were attracted by Eddie Hearne's “white wings” Revere. One busy man in the press stand gulped down so much circus lemonade that he soured along about 1 o'clock and the rest of the race was a mere ha*j to him. / A number of unemployed in the judges’ stand gazed at Grandstand A and the Paddock stand more than they did the race. They’re rolling their own. Occupants of the best point of vantage in the Speedway—the cupola of the Pagoda stand —were Carl Fisher. Major Carpenter and other Speedway officials. Carl Fisher is sporting a fine southern tan—Florida east coast brand. How did you like that pacemakin? car Harry Stulz drove? it would taka the blue ribbon at any show. Ob, yes, It's Indianapolis made. All the sports Were there. The same gang that picked the wrong horses at the Kentucky Derby were on hand making bum picks on tbe speed wagons.

A number of the Indianapolis ball players witnessed the race until noon, when they left for Washington Park to engage the Louisville Colonels In a double header. Jack Hendricks wore a serious look. A friend asked him why the puzzled ex-prr-ft-ion and Jack replied thusly: ‘1 was jus, wondering if I couldn't dig up a couple of good right handed pitchers out of all this immense crowd. You tell 'em Jack you've been around the circuits Mike Mnroney. the tax! magnate, hid his “Blue Baliett” stationed in a choice l arking space. Mike was host to a party of Chicago friende. Must be nice to be visited by Chicago friends there hot days. ‘Top’’ Myers, secretary and general manager of the Speedway, the man chiefly responsible for the, successful staging of Hoosierdom’s prize sport event, didn't get to glimpse much of the race. He was too busy watching the main gate and box office. In fact "Pop” np;>eared as though he was getting ready to march into the Ruhr basion. He had a “gat” strapped on him big enough to cause a retreat on the Mingo front. There were autos parked In the midfield that bore evidence of extencive travel. License rlates from at least half

of the States In the Union could be found. The 500-mile race truly Is a magnet with a powerful pull. The French pit men were r.n active lot. As Tad Dorgan would say, they acted as though they were playing tag with the bees Whenever they talked. Herman DuPree, arrangement maker extraordinaire, was a model of efficiency in caring for the army of news hounds. Seth Klein displayed a smile all day, but so far a3 is known he was not seen in company with any Chieago-looking persons. New York has its Great White Way and Chicago its Boulevard Mich, but the Hoosier prefers the Indianapolis Speedway on race day for glow, glamor and gaycty. Feminine race goers were in abundance and their summer frocks lent dazzling color to the stands. As an actor-looking man from New York remarked; “They don't make ’em any prettier than the Hoosier State turns out.” The dazling race togs the drivers and mechanicians wore should awaken the sport spirit iu any mar,. Now we know why the chariot drivers of Rome were so popular in tbe days of Ben-Hur. The excitement of a race has not lost any of Its thrills down through tbe ages. Howard Shank, chief of the Wilcox pit, appeared as agile as in his football days. Tbe mechanicians and the pit men are the unsung heroes of Speedway■ races. Suggestion for get-rich-quick scheme: Patent a quick cure for neck-strain' and do a land-office business the day following the Speedway race. A man with a rubber neck certainly would have been in his glory today. Along about 1 o'clock when the race had reached the serious stage and the cars still left in the running were streaking by, an agitated person pushed his way through the crowd in the press stand, tapped a weary newspaper man on the shoulder and said: “Say, partner, could yon tell me if Babe Ruth got any home runs today?” The traditional rabbit created much mirth on the part of Speedway fans when it made its appearance just before the start of tbe race. The nimble bunny appeared from under the Judge's stand, hopped into a sprint down the middle ot the track, dodged about a half-dozen Speedway officials and disappeared down a drain pipe.

Big League Stuff

Ruth's fourteenth home run helped the Yanks trim Philadelphia, Irish Mease! got his eighth home run of the season, tying George Kelly, and deriding the Use between the Phillies and Dodgers.

Jack Ertle Appears Best Bet as Third Man at Big Battle Commission Believed Ready to Name New Jersey Man This Week . By SID MERCER. ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., May 30—Announcement of the New Jersey State boxing commission’s selection of a referee for the Dempsey-Carpentler scuffle on July 2, will be made this week. At this writing it appears that Harry Ertle of Jersey City will be the third man in the ring at tbe international combat. Members of tile commission who saw Dempsey step through six fast rounds at the Airport arena yesterday admitted that only Jersey referees are being considered now. That seems to let out everybody but Ertle and Slim Brenuau of Newark. Robert Dougherty, chairman of the commission; Secretary Cassad.v and Commissioner Lyons sat in a ringside box with Ertle here yesterda* and, after the show, talked over the fight arrangements with Jack Kearns. It was Lyons who made the statement that the referee will De a Jersey man. “The selection has practically been made,” he said, “but I don’t know just when it will be officially announced. There is to be a meeting.of the commission in Jersey City next Wednesday. I understand that the articles o;’ agreement between Carpentier and Dempsey call for an agreement on the referco thirty days before the fight. If that is true then we will announce onr selection this week.” No matter what objections may be made, the commission will insist on having the last word about the referee. Dempsey and Kearns are not a bit fussy on this question, but it is possible there may be a protest from the Fr Chinan's camp. Ertle officiated at the Carpentier I.evinsky fight last October, and there was some dissatisfaction in Carpentier’* corner over the way Levinsky was counted out. Ertle, however. Is regarded as a highly competent official, who keeps his wits about him at all times.

The One Line Willie Failed to Tear Down SOUTIT BEND, Ind?, May 3ft.— Heroes of the gridiron, like other prominent people, must pay the penalty of having full publicity given to their personal affairs. Frank “Little Willie” Coughlin, captain of the Notre Dame football team last year, and all-western tackle for two years, thought that he could keep his marriage to Miss Madeline Myers of South Bend a secret from his classmates until after graduation. But a newsboy saw the couple come from the church, and, recognizing the hero, called: “Hey, Willie, gettin’ married?” The news reached Notre Dame, and his classmates duly celebrated. Coughlin, a senior law student, who hails from Chicago, is president of the senior class. His bride is a graduate of St. Mary's College, near Notre Dame.
