HOOSIERS FIND BREWERS HARD TEAM TO STOP Asa Result Mr. Pug Cavet Was Expected to Try It Today.

SERIES OPENER LOST

As was predicted, the Indians found the Brewers a hard nut to crack in the series opener at Washington Park Wednesday and it is further predicted that the remainder of the series will afloid lue fans plenty of thrills. Jack Egan has his Milwaukee athletes in good spirits and they are at that stage where they are capable of giving any team plentiful opposition under any and ail conditions. Asa result of the good form the invaders displayed Wednesday, when they handed the Indians a 4 to 2 beating. Manager Hendricks of the Hoosiers planned to ty>t out the warhorse, Mr. Pug Cavet, today in an effort to check the Eganites. It takes good pitching to down the Brewers right at this time, for they are showing an effective attack and a stronge defense. And as for the said good pitching. Pug Cavet was expected to deliver it this afternoon. Just at present the Tribesmen are working under a handicap—they are weak behind the hat in a hitting way. Dixon is doing fairly well in the receiving end of the game, but he apparently la not there with the bat at any stage. Heuiine's hitting is missed seriously and It is unfortunate ahat he is on the crippled list at this time. In the series starter yesterday Manager Hendricks sent Johnny Enzmann out to the mound to oppose Young Joe Kiefer, who threatens to develop a habit of trimming the Hoosiers. Kiefer was an Indian for a few days some time back and he evidently means to rub it in. At any rate, he was in fairly effective form yesterday and managed to squeeze out a victory. Enzmann failed to last and gave way to Stryker, who finished in good style. The burly Brewers took a l.tking to Ensmann's stuff and, coupled with his wildness, they got sufficient runs to put them beyond the Hendricksmen fur the day. Ralph Shinners got an inside-the-park homer in the fourth, and this blow shook Kiefer up some, but a "break" of the game saved him. After Ralph had socked out his four-sucker Rehg and Morrison each singled after two out. With Rehg on third and Morrison on first Schreiber straightened one of Kiefer's slants out and the ball started for left center. But Shortstop Cooney saw it coming, thrust up his glove and speered the pellet for the third out. It probably was as hard hit as any ball yesterday, but luck was against Hank and on the side of the Brewers, so the stuff was off that Inning. The Indians' second marker was scorvd In the fifth, when Sicking got around on his walk and hits by Kinsella and Baird. The Brewers scored in the second, third and two in the fifth, a badly handled run-up play giving them their fourth marker. The Indians didn't seem to possess the proper pep yesterday. Fans hoped that the ginger jar would be opened today. . Kinsella was slightly Incapacitated and he was out of the regular line-up. He pinch hit for Enzmann In the fifth, however, and delivered a solid smack. Morrison can surely go get ’em in the outfield. He made a grand play on Gamer * drive in the third. Empire Jim Murray is back with ns. Mullen, anew man to the league, is teaming with the popular Jim. The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce has delivered the opening-day attendance challenge cup to the Toledo Chamber of Commerce. This city and the Hen town placed a wager on the opening attendance and Toledo won. Reports from Toledo Indicate the baseball boosters there are greatly pleased with the cup. Manager Bresnahan is trying to bolster his Hen outfield by obtaining Bill I.ajnar from the Brooklyn Nationals, but Lauiar objecting to returning to the big minor circuit. Catcher Art Wilson of Columbus has been transferred to the Cleveland Americans. Two of Clevelands three regular catchers are on the crippled list. According to the report from Cleveland Wtlso:i was purchased from Columbus, but there is reason to believe that be has been merely loaned. Dick Gossett, former noosier backstop Is here with the BrewerH, but he is out of action with a bruised wrist. The fans would like to see him behind the plate in at least one game of the series. Left Fielder Lober of the Brewers is enjoying a run of luck. He got three walks and two hits yesterday. He has reached first base his last nine times at the plate for the Brewers.

Heinie Groh to Be Sent to Giants in Money-Player Deal Cincinnati Reas to Get Min and Coin for Holdout Star.

CINCINNATI, .Tune 2—Heinie Groh appeared at President Herrmann’s office Wednesday and signed his contract for the remainder of the season, thus ending his long and persistent hold-out. He signed up at the club’s terms, but his salary will not begin until he is reinstated by Commissioner Landis. It will be at the rate of SIO,OOO a year, but will amount to considerably less than that figure, as he has already loat seven weeks Pay. Heinie signed only on the understanding that he will be traded at once, ana the deal has already been fixed up witn the New York Club, to which he will re port the moment he is reinstated. He has made application to Judge Landis, and will doubtless be eligible within a day or two. Whether any penalty will be inflicted on him for holding out will not be known until the commissioner is heard from. The trade with New York will Involve a sum of money not nearly so large as $150,000 which was offered for him iast December and two players. One of these players is a catcher, who will be used in a secondary trade with an American League club. The names of these players cannot be given out at once, for Judge Landis has held that no deal can be made for a player who is under suspension. The trade, however, is all arranged, and will be consummated the moment that Groh becomes eligible. Heinie will not play with the Reds, but will Join the Giants as soon as he can. It is expected that McGraw will send him to thirl base at once, to relieve Goldie Rapp, who is fielding well, but not hitting much. Heinie went to Redlaud field vesterday morning as soon as he had signed his contract, put on a uniform and practiced with the Reds for an hour. He Is In good shape, and will not need verv much work to be ready for regula. play.

Bv TAD. NEW YORK. June 2.—A promlner t theatric! man is reported to have aald that the coming Dempsey-Carpentier fight Is to go twelve rounds aid that a return match will be staged in London. Well, all that we can say about that is: If that man really believes what he rays he can make a lot of money betting that the fight will go the limit. There are thousands of men witling to bet that it won't. Jack Kearns, who manages Dempsey, isn't daffy enough to agree to such a contract with such a dangerous opponent as Carpentter. Kearns, who took Dempsey as a raw recruit, and made him a world's champion in two years, is considered quite a smart person In pugilistic matters. He has everything at stake In this fight Carpentlcr has nothing to lose. The lat-

FRENCHIE CUTS LOOSE FOR DAY AND MAKES HIT

Uncovers What He Terms the ‘Waltz Punch’ and It Appears Dangerous. DISPLAYS FINE SPEED By JACK VEIOCK, International Sew# Sports Editor. MANHASSKT, L. 1.. June 2.—Georges Carpentiers stock went up several points today, following his first real work-out with members of the press looking on. Georges. o'Bplayed his wares Wedues day afternoon in a short, but very snappy session with t erring partners and gymnasium appar tus, and those who saw him were ver lavorably impressed. These things can be said of Georges today: He Is in excellent physical condition right now. He seems to be l#> a very contented state of mind, showing no evidence of worry over hi', coining battle with Dempsey. Reports of his speed and hitting ability were not exaggerated. He ha one of the greatest right hands the lieu# yweight division has known and he Is fast and agile as a panther. Joe Jeanette and Jack Goldberg, a middleweight from Panama, furnished fistic occupation for Carpentler in a four-round session, going two rounds each. What

Official Paris View PARIS, Jnne t.—The ‘‘official” view In France Is that Georges Carpentier will whip Jack Dempsey with ease. The head of the information department of the foreign office was asked today to express the opinion of the government orTielals on the result of the forthcoming fight. He replied: “Carpentier will win with his hands in his pockets.’' This is evidently the French equivalent of the American expression “win hands down.”

Carpentier displayed against thc.n left a very favorable impression on the critic*. Asa boxer Carpentier is fast and very shifty. Ills foot work is one of his greatest assets. His right is without a doubt his best hand. lie hits with it from almost any position. Georges’ fa vorlte punch Is what he calls the “wultz punch. It is delivered as he circles about an opponent, being shot to the mark from a side angle and while he is on his toes. It is this punch that he will count on heavily when he faces Demrsey. Jeanette crowded Carpentier every second they were in the ring together and I’erpentler let go some vicious punches, >ften apologizing to Jeanette when he landed an extra mard one. Against Goldberg the French flash steamed up and had he not pulled his f nineties be would have knocked out the sd from Panama, tough and rugged as be is. MUST KEEP JACK SMILING ATLANTIC CITY, N J.. .Tune 2—The task of keeping Jack Dempsey mentally fit through the restless duys prior to the big fight at Jersey City requires more judgment and tuct thuu the comparatively simple process of conditioning him physically. Dempsey today Is where he should be about ten dayes prior to the battle, physically. He Is not more than ten pounds above whnt he will weigh for Carpentier. Most of the avoirdupois Is clinging to hls raid-section and a row days of Intensive training will melt It off. When he steps Into the ring at Boyle’s "Thirty acres.” Dempsey will be physically fit. but what will he be mentally? Some say this and some say that. Without pretending to possess occult ktiowledgo of whnt effect the undoubted sfruln of the next thirty days will have on the champion's mlud, some venture that he will pat* through the nervous stage some time within the next twenty flays and lie the Dempsey of Toledo when he faces the French flash. Already there are many little evidences of Jack's irritability. He hasn't shown any peevishness in his public work-outs or In his association with the newspaper men, but now and then he gets fussed up nbout little, things that ordinarily would not concern him. Don't Imagine that he is a crab, or anything lice It, for he isn't. Perhaps no champion ever stood the marking time process bettor than Dempsey. Signs of restlessness however, mean that Dempsey is already in great condition and the biggest question from now on will be how to keep him cheerful and occupied without letting him work too hard.

New York Already Agog Over Title Bout; Fans Forget Everything Else

BY HENRY FARRELL, United Frees Sports Editor. NEW YORK, June 3.—Just as many baseball bugs are hanging around the big 6core board in TJmes Square every afternoon, but they don't talk baseball. Fight is the large talk over the Metropolis. The chances of Georges Carpentier and the condition of Jack Dempsey has crowded all other sports off the table. There's nothing but fight to read about or write about. Although the fans do not think It a vital question, Managers Descamps and Kearns seem to be worked-up considerably over the referee question. They conferred at length Wednesday with Tex Rickard about the third man in the ring and they were to talk it over again today. Rickard says it’s up to them to decide who they want In the ring with their “meal tickets” and.then see if the commission will stand for their choice. Although he won’t come out in so many words and say it, Kearns wasn’t too pleased with the report that Harry Ertle had been selected by the commission. No doubt the commission will insist on the right to name the referee, but it is hardly likely they will oppose both managers. Descamps says he is going over and inspect Jersey City stadium when it is completed but that Carpentier will get his first glimpse of the structure an hour before he goes into the ring with Dempsey. The champion looked over the battle ground before the construction work had started. It is hardly probable thongh that he will leave his camp to take a look at the stands before the fight. Breaks 200 Straight SYRACUSE, N. Y., June 2.—Ahser C.

Waning Youth Casts Shadow of Doubt on Kilbane 9 s Standing Feather Champ Faces Danger of Dropping Laurels After Brilliant Career .

Nine years ago, on George Washington’s birthday, Johnny Kilbane won the featherweight championship of the world from Abe Attell. The boy from Cleveland, he was then 23 years old, beat the thin-legged, slippery, cunning chap from San Francisco in twenty rounds. It was a real battle and in the end Referee Charley Eyton gave Johnny the decision over Abe Attell. This year, the ninth anniversary of hia great victory, fistic authorities are mentally comparing the form of the chnD lengers of Johnny Kilbane to that of the Kilbane of Just a few short years back. They forget that this Kilbane —the Kllbane of a lew years ago—ls no more, that the Kilbane of today is past SO, and ha taken on the weight of ease and idle-, ress. They remember him as a slim, active, clever young champion of the world, and naturally agninst this young fellow the present day crop of feathers may not seem to class. But, the slim, active Kilbane has passed away. In his place stands a gray-haired; rather pudgy man who has done llttl* boxing for a long time, and whose eye cannot possibly be as keen as the eye of the Kilbane of a few years back, and whose former skill has undoubtedly been dulled. Meantime, these present day challengers are strong, rugged young fellows, who are boxing steadily and gathering knowledge of their craft every day. The first one that gets Kilbsne In the ring over a long route, granting that he Is one of those who are in the first flight of challengers, probably will be the new featherweight champion of the world. The authorities look at Seiger, Beecher, Valgar. Chaney, De Foe and the rest, and wag their heads and sa> that such as these will never do against the skillful, experienced Cleveland man. They have nothing of Johnny’s old form. They cannot hit like Johnny, and so forth. Then some night they will see Johnn In the ring agninst one of the rugged, ambitious youngsters, and it will be the old story. It is not in the fistic cards that a man can lay off as long as Kilbane at his age, take on weight and develop soft muscles, and then hope to compete with a strong, fast young fellow. Incidentally, no one .knows this any better than Johnny Kilbrne, The featherweight champion is no fool.
