INDIANS ENJOY HOLIDAY AFTER HEAVY SERIES Action Will Be Resumed When Brewers Come to Town Tomorrow. LEAD IS IMPROVED Having won three games out of five played in three days, and secured somewhat, of a firm grasp on the uppermost ring of the American Association pennant ladder, the Indianapolis Indians today were satisfied to take a well-earned rest before getting down to business with the Milwaukee Brewers tomorrow.at Washington Park. The Tribesmen made it three out of five over the Colonels yesterday afternoon when they came around for a marker in the tenth inning of the second game. The score was 10 to 9. Louisville took the first game, 3 to 0. when Wayne Wright pitched some brilliant ball, his specialty being a tightening up when men were on the paths. While the Indians were splitting their bill with the Colonels yesterday the Kansas City Blues were dropping two more games to Milwaukee, and the Millers were throwing a party for the Saints. This gives the Tribe a stronger lead in the A A. race, and the athletes under Hendricks' wing are not going to give up this advantage without having a full say about things. The game the Indians won yesterday was one of those affairs that keep the fans guessing and in their seats until the final out is registered. The Colonels started off with two runs, but the home club came right back for four in their half of the initial frame. Weaver held the visitors at bay in the second session, but in their half the Indians counted two more. Things looked good at this point, but Louisville forged to the front in the next two rounds, getting three runs in the third and two in the fourth. The Colonels added two more in the sixth, and here their scoring ended. The Indians got one in the sixth, one in the seventh, then tied the count in the ninth. Louisville failed to score in their half of the tenth, and the Indians put over the trick in the last half. Covington led off with a ripping single over second. Rehg sacrificed and Kinsella was out, McCarthy to Kirke, Covington going to third on the play. The run that meant everything was on third when Schreiber picked up his club, and that run was checked up to the credit of the Indians a few seconds later when Hank picked out a nice one and sent it skipping through short. The Tribesmen didn't have much chance, to step out in the first game. Wright | was pitching in rare form, and took pretty good care of the situation all the way around. He retired the Indians in order in the first three rounds, and faced only four men in each of the following six innings. In the fifth inning Kinsella led off with a double and in the sixth Morrison bounded out a double after Petty had fanned, but neither of these men could find an excuse for heading toward the home plate. In the first game, the Colonels counted two runs in the fourth on two singles and a double Their third run came when Jay Kirke raised one of Petty's slants over the high right field fence.
NOTES OF THE GAMES. Rehg pulled one in the first game that will never be bettered. Betzel connected solidly in the third round, and sent the ball to left center. It looked like it was over the fence, but Walter and Morrison took out after it. running a neck-and-neck race, with their backs to the ball. Just before Kehg got to the fence, he stuck up his gloved hand and pulled the pill down. Ralph Shinners was given a chance to rest a weak ankle in the first game. Gene Morrison played tbe center garden and got two hits, one a double. Shinners came back in the second game and got four hits. Wonder what would have happened to the pitching staff were it not for those seven double plays by the Indians in the two games? As an example of how our club hustles, Rehg came in from left field to catch Ballenger between first and second in the fourth inning of the first game, and Kinsella chased in from right to run down Massey between second and third in the eighth inning of the same game. Louisville Jay Kirke drove seven hits to all corners of the lot in the two games. Pug Cavet came near having to put over another victory in the second game. Manager Jack also was wondering how he would look in action. Manager Joe McCarthy went to second and shifted Betzel to third for Louisville when Schepner was thrown out of the second game for firing orders at the umps. Joe had two chances and took care of them in good style. Sicking and Covington each walked three times in the second contest. They had to park some of the grandstand ticket-holders out in front of the boxes.

The reward for driving one of the most consistent races ever staged on the Indianapolis Speedway oval was Tommy Milton's when he flashed across the tape to victory in yesterday’s 500-mile race. Milton offered the fans thrills early in the race because they were not paying a great deal of attention to the driver who was humming along at the same steady pace all the way, letting those who cared to pass him and bid for the sensational stuff do so. For half the race Tommy, the speed king of the world, slid along with the rest of the “well-up” drivers. Then, when De Palma's withdrawal presented the opportunity of a life-time, Milton showed he was ready for

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MAY 31, 19211.
Riding with Milton yesterday was Harry Franck, who has been with him on the coast since the big race here last year. Milton's victory yesterday was another Louis Chevrolet win, the second in as many vears. Last year the late Gaston Chevrolet, brother to Louie, drove a car designed and built by Louie to victory in the great derby. Louie was back with another team of speed wagons this year, and yesterday Milton drove the latest creation of the famous designer, a Frontenac eight, over the tape, ahead of the field, by more than two laps. The above photograph was taken just as Milton raised his hand as a signal that he had caught the finish flag.
Brennan Says Expert Left Will Cause Jack to Take the Short End
NEW YORK, May 31. —“Any fast man with a good left will beat Jack Dempsey.” So says Bill Brennan, who has fonght the world's champion twice and stayed with him longer than any other boxer. Georges Carpentier, the French challenger who hopes to win the title from Dempsey in Jersey City, July 2 has the speed all right and he's trying now to get the good left, according to "secrets" drifting from the Manhassett camp. In his public bonts for the newspaper men, the Frenchman has been specializing on rights, but in his private sessions be is doing the work all on the other side. Willis Lewis, the veteran middleweight who once fought the Frenchman and later acted as a teacher for him, whispered several things in Carpentiers ear about “that left.” COI.LEGE BASEBALL.

Here he is, fans, the gamest loser that ever lost, and the driver who probably gives the fans more for their money than any other man in the speed game today—popular Ralph De Palma. This picture of Ralph was taken on his first trip to the pits in the 500 mile race here Monday. After having led the field at the fastest pace ever set for a bit better than half the distance of the 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway yesterlay, Ralph ran into his

ILLINI TRACK SQUAD STRONG Suckers Picked to Win Conference Meet—Notre Dame Looks Good. CHICAGO, May 31.—Following the announcement of the official list of entries for the twenty-first annual track and field games of the Western Conference to be held on Stagg field next Saturday, Illinois will enter the meet a strong favorite, with Wisconsin and Notre Dame having the beet chances to beat Coach Harry Gill's well rounded team. Close followers of track and field athletics are unanimous in their opinions that Gill has developed one of the best-bal-anced aggregations ever seen in the West. With five places counting in each event, Illinois has a good chance to score in every contest. Illinois cannot be said to be weak in a single event, and if the men line up to expectations, it is hardly prpbable they will be beaten out of the championship. Three is plenty of class in this year’s meet, as has been shown by performances in dual meets. Several of the Big Ten sprinters have covered the century in even time, the quarter under 50 seconds and the half-mile under 2 minutes. With such stars meeting on Saturday records should be tied or bettered. Trials in a number of events will be held on Friday. The graduate managing committee of the Western Conference will hold a special meeting on Wednesday to determine the contests in which tests will be held. One more man than the number which count places will qualify. The managing committee intends to do everything possible to make the meet interesting from the spectators' point of view. Events will be announced promptly and heights and distance in the field events conveyed to the crowd at various times. Programs will be distributed free and the first event will start at 2 o'clock.
College Sports
The Notre Dame ball nine registered another victory over the Indiana ”U” team yesterday afternoon at Notre Dame, ihe final count being 15 to 5. Indiana jumped off to a four run lead in the second session, but the Irish caine back for three in their half of the session and ran away for a big lead in the sixth when they shoved ten runners over the plate. Campbell was chased from the box in this frame, after five runs had counted, and Faust, who took his place, was touched for five more. Eddie Anderson, pinch hitting for Notre Dame early in this session, pounded out a double, scoring three men. Falvey, Mohardt and Garvey took care of the pitching work for Notre Dame, and all kept close tab on the Crimson batters. Kane and Miles supplied the fielding features. Michigan and Wisconsin played eighteen innings of baseball in five hours and fifteen minutes at Ann Arbor yesterday, and the Wolverines came through the fray with a 9 to 8 victory. Karpus, Michigan third baseman, went to the box in the sixteenth inning after the pitching staff of the winning team had been exhausted. It was a single by Karpus that drove in the winning run for Michigan. Tbe Purdue and Chicago University nines were to stage their second contest for the season today at Chicago. Wagner handed Chicago a beating in the first game between the two teams at I.afayette, and it was probable that he would be the pitching choice this afternoon. Purdue will play no other games this week. . The University of Pennsylvania defeated the Waseda University team of Japan, 5 to 3, at Philadelphia yesterday. Pennsylvania copped an early lead of three runs, but the Japs fought hard to cut this all the way, getting their runs in the fourth, seventh and ninth innings.

first bit of trouble, and he was forced to the pits. He changed his spark plugs, tires, took on gas, oil and water, made several little adjustments on his motor, then was off again, still ahead of the pack. After this Ralph made only a few circuits of the track, then was forced to the pits again. He was off in a jiffy, but made only one more lap, being forced to drop out for keeps with a broken connecting rod. A look at the popular Italian’s face

Colored amateur boxing championships will be decided tonight at Tomlinson Hall when the first annual ring tourney of the Colored Association, Indiana A. A. U., is staged. Night bouts of three rounds each are on the program, and the fans are assured of plenty of action from start to finish. Young Leo and George Smith, a pair of lightweights, are to meet in what should prove the feature bout. Both these boys are fast, have had plenty of ring experience and should put on a lively mix-up. Clay and Hawkins, a couple of wrestlers from the Colored Y. M. C. A. will settle a dispute of long standing in the closing event on the card.
CARPENTIER HAS PROPER BUILD TO STAND GRUELLING STRUGGLE
BY TAD, Special Correspondent of The Times. NEW YORK, May 3L—The thing that seems to bother boxing fans most in the coming championship battle is whether the Frenchman is big enough for Dempsey. Billy Delaney, who brought both Corbett and Jeffries from obscurity to the top, always claimed that a man weighing 180 pounds was big enough to lick the huskiest slugger alive. “Jem Mace, the greatest fighter that England ever produced, never fought weighing more than 160 pounds,” Billy used to say, “Give me a good young fellow weighing 180 pounds who knows his business and I’ll bet on him against any 250 pounder you can get.” When you look back and think of the marvels of the ring, who beat men much bigger than themselves, you must admit that its skill, not bulk, that counts in the prize ring. WHEN JEFF KNEW HE WAS HIT. Joe Choynski, weighing 160 pounds, gave Jim Jeffries the hardest battle he ever fought, and Jeff weighed 200. It was Choynski who hit Jeff the hardest punch he ever got in his whole career. Joe hit Jeff in the mouth and drove his upper lip in between his teeth. Billy Delaney had to cut the lip away with a pocket knife. Tom Sharkey, weighing 180 pounds and standing half a foot under Jeff, stayed the limit with the big boilermaker twice and had very little the worst of it. He fought Jeff a twenty-round fight in Frisco und then came to New York, and in a twenty-five rounder lost a decision that half the crowd thought was wrong. Jeff's bulk was of little use to him rn those two occasions. He just barely nosed

in the above picture will show how he takes his racing troubles with a smile. His smile was still there yesterday. He takes his bad luck as a part of the racing game, and lets it go at that. There is one satisfaction that Ralph always has, no matter whether he is forced out of a race early or late. He has never yet pushed his car off the track, feeling that the public is disappointed in him, because he always gives his best, and always shows in a class all his own until the Jinx overtakes him.
Big League Stuff
The Giants fattened their percentage at the expense of the Phillies Monday. Toney landed the first game while bunched hits gave them the second. Gibby’s Pirates went on a batting spree and drubbed the Cubs twice. Dixie Davis trimmed the White Sox, but Red Faber got even with the Browns in the afternoon game. Leon Cadore lost a I6-inning tussle with the Braves after Scott had pasted the Dodgers in the morning. Coveleskie kept nine hits scattered against Detroit in the morning game, in the afternoon Cobb's men won with Mid - dleton in great form. Perry and Rommel piloted the Athletics to a twin victory over the Red Sox. Witt, C. Walker, Dugan and Perkins got homers in the first game. Rip Collins gave the Washington Senators but four hits in the morning game. Jack Quinn's spitter failed to baffle Washington in the afternoon, however. The Cardinals made twenty-seven hits off Red pitchers in two games and loped off with two victories. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE. Newark, 5-6 : Jersey City, 4-2. Syracuse, 4-6, Buffalo, 2-8.

cut ahead. Abe Attell, a featherweight, fought lightweights and welters and was very successful. He knew how to box and he knew how to make the other fellow waste his energy. Joe Walcott, a welterweight, who wasn't mush taller than a water hydrant, often fought men weighing 200 pounds and standing well over six feet. Joe was a fighter. He could hit and he could make the other fellow miss. What he lacked in poundage he made up in skill. Neither Tom Sharkey nor Jim Corbett would have anything to do with Joe when he was going great guns. WELLS EASY FOR, FRENCHIE. Carpentler, French marvel, has beaten many a big fellow in the ring. Bombardier Wells is the biggest man he toppled. Wells towered over Georges and outweighed him quite a chunk, yet the Frenchman dropped him for the fatal count twice. Dempsey will outweigh Carpentier ten or fifteen pounds and will stand maybe two inches taller. It isn’t much of an advantage, but it's some. Carpentier doesn’t think that Dempsey's extra weight will bother him a bit. He is used to fighting big men. Dempsey, on the other hand, is not accustomed to fighting men smaller than himself. There’s the rub, if there's a rub coming. Dempsey’s best fight was made against his biggest opponent—Willard. It was his easiest too. The first punch he landed practically settled the fight. He had everything his own way after that. He was punching upward, the way a man punches a bag. Old timers say a man can hit harder punching at a target above his shoulders. Dempsey has done that in most of his fights. It's not easy to punch down—that is, if a man is shorter or if he fights in a crouching position. Try it!

Tom Gibbons Picked to Meet Victor of Heavy Title Match St. Paul Star Scores Ninth Straight Knockout With Frenchie Looking On. NEW YORK, May 81.—Georges Carpentier resumed work at his Manhasset training camp today satisfied that America has some reserve talent to trot out for him in case he defeats Jack Dempsey July 2. The dapper French champion was at the ringside in Ebbets field Monday to get a line on Tommy Gibbons, the St. Paul socker, who ranks as this country's foremost challenger for the heavyweight championship. And he got an eye full. Gibbons, who was fast as a big cat and in perfect condition, made short work of Jack Clifford of Brooklyn, who took the count in the third round after fifty-eight seconds had elapsed. Georges was impressed. After the fight he said: “Mons Gibbons looks very good. He is the best American fighter I have seen. Os course, you see, I have not seen Dempsey.” Gibbons' victory over Clifford marked his ninth straight knockout against the best opponents promoters have been able to dig up for him. He is climbing the ladder toward a battle for the championship just as Dempsey climbed it several years ago. Tex Rickard is greatly Interested in Gibbons and is prepared to sign him for the winner of the Dempsey-Carpentier battle. He conferred today with Gibbons and his manager, Eddie Kane, on the subject.
Fistic Camps WITH THE CHAMPION. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 31.—Jack Dempsey is under rest orders for the rest of the week. Following a hard work-out yesterday for the big crowds that flocked to his training camp, the world's champion put away his gloves until Saturday. He will work only enough to keep himself in condition. His eye, which was opened Saturday in a sparring bout with Jack Renault, is almost healed and is not expected to give him any trouble. Manager Kearns was greatly pleased with the work of Larry Williams and Jack Renault, the two big sparring partners. “They are giving the champion the finest of work-outs. In fact, they are a little bit too good for this early stage of the training and we had to cut down the work to keep Dempsey from getting his edge too soon,” he said. WITH THE CHALLENGER. MANHASSET, L. 1., May 31.—Georges Carpentier was back at work today, after a complete rest yesterday which he spent in observing Memorial day and looking over Tom Gibbons, the St. Paul heavy. Next week more sparring partners will join the camp, according to Gus Wilson, his trainer. Wilson is not telling the names of the new acquisitions, but he would not deny that the star addition would be Billy Miske, who is expected to “wise up" the challenger on Dempsey’s style. Willie Lewis former middleweight, and one-time teacher of Carpentier, is now a member of the Frenchman’s board of strategy. The usual camp rumors are beginning to be passed around. The secrecy of Carpentier’s camp makes it an ideal source for wild stories. A few days ago it was whispered around that Journee landed one on the Frenchman’s jaw and knocked him out. Then It was said that Italian Joe Gans landed on the Frenchman's stomach so often that he became unclubby in his sparring and was reprimanded by Manager Descamps. RIVERSIDE GOLF RESULTS.

CORBETT TELLS OF BOUTS LOST BY FRENCHMAN
Jim Says Carpentier Showed Great Gameness in Klaus and Papke Battles. ODDS AGAINST HIM By JAMES J. CORBETT, Former Heavyweight Champion. CLEVELAND, May 31. —Everywhere I go friends and acquaintances ask for an opinion regarding Georges Carpentier's chances against Dempsey. "Carpentier is a wonderful boxer, eh, Jim?” they say. “But can he take it. Can he stand up te Dempsey?” Without having had a real opportunity as yet to watch Carpentier work against some big fellow, the best reply I can make to these inquiries is to refer my friends to Georges' past performances. , To my mind the showings he has made against Frank Klaus, Billy Papke and Joe Jeannette, not to mention Gunboat Smith, furnish pretty fair proof that he can stand the gaff up to liberal limit. In the days when he fought Klaus, Papke and Jeannette he was more or less a stripling. He had not yet gotten his full growth and strength, yet he took severe beatings from both Papke and Klaus and refused to be discouraged. FRENCHIE PROVES HIS GAMENESS. Klaus gave Carpentier the worst beating of his career and I want to say right here that Klaus was one tough man in his day. Had Carpentier been other than a lion-hearted youth, he must have quit cold then and there, but he is with us today and it means something. The Klaus-Carpentier bout at Dieppe was a scheduled twenty-rounder in 1912. At that time Carpentier started to grow very fast and he had to make weight for Klaus. When he entered the ring he was none too strong and he soon discovered that Klans was indeed a “bearcat” of a
WHO’LL WIN?
SUMMIT, N. J, May 3L—Freddie Welsh, former lightweight champion: “Much depends on what condition the two men are in when they enter the ring. I think Dempsey ought to win, but only after tbe hardest bout of his career. Dempsey is strong and he is not as slow as generally considered. Carpentier is a skillful boxer and all that, but he is not strong enough to be on even terms with the champion.” ---------------------------------------------- fighter and strong as a young bull. In the early rounds Georges had no trouble hitting the Pittsburgh battler, but Klans shook off his punches and bored in, in - flicting severe punishment on Carpentier's midriff every time he got into close quarters. The fight went on this way for seven rounds and presently Klans realized that the Frenchman was beginning to tire. In the eighth he tried to finish his man. Carpentier, scenting the danger, eluded him. But Klaus did not let np. Round after round he rushed at the Frenchman, swinging his fists like flails, shaking off punches and boring in. In the eleventh he caught Georges with a right-hander on the jaw and almost knocked him out, but Carpentier ran away till his head cleared. With a great show of courage Carpentier attempted to take the offensive away from Klaus in the fifteenth. He closed Frank's left eye and brought blood from his mouth, but the advantage was only temporary. Klaus by this time was wild as a steer and his anger lent him strength. STOMACH PUNCH PUTS HIM OUT. The fight carried along to the nineteenth. This round found Carpentler suffering anguish from his punished midsection. He also was weak and halfdazed and about the middle of the round Klaus planted a terrific smash to the stomach that doubled poor George up like a jack-knife. Blood gushed from his mouth and he collapsed on the canvas. Descamps jumped into the ring and Klaus was the victor on a foul before the referee could start a count. It took Carpentier some time to recover from the beating he received from Klaus, but be refused to be No sooner was he himself once more than he accepted a match with Billy Papke. Once again he had to make weight and once again he did so to his sorrow. Papke, a great in-fighter, as was Klaus, found Carpentier trying to fight him at his own game, and though Georges had picked up some of the fine points of infighting. Papke was his master. At long range Carpentier proved himself a bit better than Papke, but the Kewanee lad landed often and whenever he did he inflicted real punishment. This fight wore on to the sixteenth round at the end of which Desacmps tossed a sponge into the ring when he saw that Georges was scarcely able to find his own corner.
