TRIBE BATTLES TO STAY AHEAD IN GREAT RACE Old Master Cavet Keeps Indians Jump in Front of Onrushing Blues. BREWERS AGAIN TODAY With their lead threatened by the rejuvenated K. C. Blue*, tue Indians today were all fired with the old determination to slip the visiting Brewers another trimming and then repeat the dose in the series wind-up fray tomorrow. Defeats are costly at this stage of the hot Association fight and the Hoosiers feel that it la up to them to annex the series from the Milwaukee outfit in order to bolster their confidence for the big round of games starting with the Bines here Sunday. The Blues are right on the heels of the Indians and other rival clubs are not far down, wh'ch means that a slump at this time doubtless would send a team diving toward the second division. At any rate, the Hendricksmen are out in front and they mean to stay there if effort will do it. Old Master Fug Cavet walked out on the mound yesterday and tacked up his ninth straight pitching victory by turning the Brewers back, T to 1. The veteran flipped 'em up in great style and would have scored a shutout but row a fielding error behind him. However, Pug is aot pitching his head off to tack up shutouts; he is very well satisfied to go along and win regularly. Schaak and Lingrell divided the burling for the Brewers yesterday and the Indians socked ’em both for hits and runs. Cavet gave up eight hits, but in five of the nine innings not a Brewer reached first. He walked one nan and fanned three. .The Old Master went along in such easy fashion that the visitors practically were helpless. They seemed to play as If they knew they were up against It and, of coarse, they were not mistaken In their belief, because Cavet was out there to win. Hank Schrelber contributed the fielding feature by a spectacular catch in Short left field with his back to the stands. The catch was so unusual and unexpected that the Brewer base runners were uncertain which way to run and as a result Hank doubled one of them off base. It was a neat piece of work and Schrelber was given a big hand. Other Indian stars were Morrison and Baird, both of whom hit and fielded well. Morrison got three hits, one for the circuit. and Baird came through with three singles. Doug made one bobble iu the field, but he played so well >thcrwtse thst his bad throw was overlooked. Leo Dixon also came to life with the bat by cracking out two safeties and the fans are pulling hard for him to keep it up. In the contest this afternoon Petty or Bartlett was to twirl sos the Indians. Manager Egan of the Brewers was undecided, but it was known .hat he planned to send out one of bis best flippers in order to try and gain an edge on the series. This was “Ladies’ Day” at Washington Park and feminine fans were expected out In abundance.

Dick Gossett, former Ind'an, batted for “Tumbledown” Schaak In the sixth and drove a long fly to Morrison. Dick was given a long round of applause by the fans. In practice Gossett tried bis arm out and whipped the ball around the sacks like a bullet The attendance is not what it should be. The Indians are In first place and only by the players giving their best efforts and Owner Smith his best in a financial way hmag the lead position been won. The team deserves better support It is said that Indianapolis is drawing lighter at the gate than a number of the teams down In the race. Wherever the Indians go on the road big crowds turn out but at home the fans do not show they appreciate the efforts of the clgb officials to give the city a pennant winner. In these aayg of high rail and hotel rates and the high cost of baseball equipment a club can’t break even on Saturday and Sunday gate receipts only. The Hoosiers added two more double plays to their record yesterday. The Tribe infield Is of big league caliber. The best Infield work seen at Washington Park In years Is being served up by Hendricks’ present roster, and If Indianapolis likes good baseball now is tho opportune time to go out and witness a few games.

Another Scout Takes Notes on Playing of Wabash Ball Captain CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., June 3 For the second time this season a scout from the major "--agues viewed the Wabash College ni.io in action here Thursday. At a previous game a scout from the Philadelphia Americans was present, while Thursday, at the Butler-Wabash contest, an agent from either the Detroit Americans or Chicago Nationals took notes on the performance of Wabash stars. It was made known that Scout Doyle was in the stands, but as there,, are two Doyles combing the colleges and minor leagues for talent there is some confusion as to which big league team the scout here yesterday represented. Jack Doyle scouts for the Chicago Nationals and Bill Doyle for the Detroit Americans. At any rate, it is believed that the playing of Captain Schaulaub of VI abash has attracted the scours. TbG stnv Is hitting .500 and fielding in fine style. However, Schaalaftb has one more > at college, and it is not thought that he will tie himself up with any league team until he -closes his college career. By knocking three Butler pitchers off the hill, Wabash won from Butler, 12 to 6. In the seventh and eighth innings the Scarlet batsmen got to Vanarsdale and Shockley for a total of seven runs from seven hits. Blacker hurled a steady game for Wa bash, and would have cut the Pagemen down to a smaller score but for erratic support in the field. Kessler held up Blacker well behind the bat. Cecil Leitch Retains British Golf Laurels TCRNBERRV. Scotland. June 3. Miss Cecil Leitch retained the British women’s golf championship in the final round of the tournament here today, beating Miss Joyce Wethered four up and three to play.

SMOKETOWN GO CAUSES RIPPLE Giants and Pirates in Fierce Fight for Pennant Position in National. By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, June 3. —Any other time In any other year the fight now going on in Pittsburgh would get the sport page honors. Two baseball clubs down in Smoketown are having a Dempsey-CarpentieT all of their own. The National League pennant race may not be decided at present by the Giant-Pirate series, but it will go a fair way in giving an idea of who's the real “who” of these two contenders. The Giants have been worrying along right aiound the top for the first quarter with an aggravating brand of pitching. McGraw s hurlers would look like a million one day and run to the showers the next. eGorge Gibson has been getting high class pitching all the season. It can’t get very much better as a whole. McGraw's pitching can Improve 50 per cent and It is getting better right along. If the Giants get Heinie Groh from the Cincinnati Reds, It will Just about mean the pennant. McGraw can give the Cicinuati club more than value received for the star third baseman, without hurting his own c!ub. New York officials said today they were not prepared to make* a statement about the big deal, but It Is accepted here as.a sure thing that the announcements will be made soon as Groh and Benny Kauf are restored to good standin*. Goldie Rapp, of whom so much was expected during the training season, has proved a bust with the stick. He's a brilliant fielder, one of the best In the business, but he's helpless at the plate. Tie Game Record TORONTO, Ontario, June 3—The extra innings record for the International League was equaled here Thursday when the game between Buffalo and Toronto went twenty Innings with the former taking the long end of a 3 to 2 score. The record was established at Jersey City on Aug 12. 19i3, when Toronto and Jersey City battled for twenty innings without scoring.

Georges Is Getting His Hard Right Set for Whirl at Title McAuli/fe, However, Thinks Frenchie Wilt Try Many Tricks on Jack . By JACK M’AULIFFE, Former Undefeated Lightweight Champion. MANHASSET, N. Y., June 3—The French "war board” is working out here every afternoon on battle plans for July 2. Carpentier listen* to the plana and then puta them In practice out in the gymnasium. behind elo*d door*. I'd like to get a look at one of these star chamber sessions. The Frenchman I* eo obviously under wraps in his public work* that it is mpossible to get a real line on his abtl ;y. Ho seems to be sr cializing on a wonderful right-hand b w, but I believe it is all for a purpose. lie ha* a left and he'll use it. even if he will not show It In his public exhibitions. Several times in hi* "open bouts” he has started his famous “wnlt* blow" only to stop when he bud It going over. It may be that he want* Dempsey to think that ho Is going to depend onlv on a stock attack and will not try any of his fancy stuff. The Frenchman is “razor sharp” now. He is in wonderful condition. The task of bis tralnera is to keep him that way. So far as I can observe, be is being handled very wisely. The chances are that he will be in superb shape when he goes into the ring with Dempsey. He does not put all the force and enthusiasm In hi* work Shut Dempsey doea and he does not run the risk or burning himself out as the champion doea. Il goes about his work methodically, almoat lazy like at times. His rope skipping, shadow boxing and calisthenics look rather slow because he doe* not follow the American method of going a in!le-a-mfiiute In everything. Ho geta the most out of every movement. However, 1 believe that he needs better sparring partners. He could get more out of his boxing. Jeannette, Gan* and Journee are too big and slow to give him the kind of work he need*. Carpentier ought to take a little more from the fast big boy*. POLO UIiANOKS DUE. NEW YORK, June 3. —Reports from England, whore the United States and English pololsts are practicing In preparation for the International matches, contain account* of Injuries which may necessitate possible changes In both line-ups. An Injured elbow suffered by C’apt. Devereux Mllburn and a back strain by Louis E. Stoddard have caused most concern In the polo following here.

LIKE PLAN FOR DECISION BODY Scribes Favor Suggestion to Have Trio Name Winner of Title Bout. (By JACK VEIOCK, (International News Sports Editor.) NEW Y’ORK, June 3.—The suggestion that a committee of three permanent boxing authorities be selected by a convention of newspaper men, to give a decision in New York on which nets may be settled In case the Deinpsey-Carpeutier fight goes the limit and there is doubt regarding the winner, is gaining favor. Scribes who are congregating in the East from all sections of the country are in favor of such a plan. No decision can be rendered in New Jersey. The only way Georges Carpen tier can uncrown Dempsey in the “skeeter State” is via the kayo route. Regardless of the fact that Dempsey Is a hot favorite to defeat Carpentier by a knockout inside of twelve rounds, there Is always the chance that the bout may go the limit. Retting on the big fight will be heavy, regardless of topheavy Bentlmeut in favor of Dempsey. No fistic battle in history has excited so much Interest, and it follow* that wagers of all sorts, mounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars, will hang on the outcome. If a committee is named It Is practically certain that Eugene Corri, famous English referee, will be a member of it. Corri, it was announced today, has accepted Tex Rickard’s invitation to witness the battle July 2 and will arrive here shortly from Liverpool. Jim Cor-1 bett is also being mentioned as a member of the trio. Receipts for the big fight have now passed the $650,000 mark, according to an announcement from Madison Square Garden. This Is $150,000 ahead of all previous receipts thus far In advance of a championship fight. Paris Awarded 1924 Olympic Tourney by Committee Members LONDON. June 8.

WHO’LL WIN?

NEW YORK, June 3. Heinie Miller, former bantam and featherweight champion of the Navy, and sports editor of Our Navy: “Dempsey will win If he can win in the early rounds. If it goes over six rounds Carpentier will win. Dampsey is strong and can hit. Carpentier is fast and can hit. Among service men the question of Dempsey’s war record will not down and most of the boys in khaki and blue are pulling for the Frenchman. This should not be so. The Marquis of Queensbury said nothing about war records. The Dempsey who fought Willie Meehan and Bill Brennan will not beat Carpentier. I give the Frenchman an even break.” RICK \RD IS AILING. NEW YORK, June 3.—Tex Rickard, promoter of the Dempsey-Carpentier bout, has appendicitis. He is under the care of Dr. Joseph C. Taylor. It is hoped that an operation, should It be deemed necessary, may be avoided until after the big battle on July 2 at Jersey City. The promoter does not propose to let anything interfere with this fight. He goes daily to his office in Madison Square Garden and directs details of ticket selling and all arrangements. About two weeks ago appendicitis developed. Dr. Taylor, however, says an X-ray taken recently shows It Is not an acute case. ‘lt is a mild case at present,” he said. “I can not say just now if there will be an operation. We hope it will wear off. He has been on a strict diet and Is undergoing treatment.” HARRIS' BOY’S CLEAN UP.
