MINTON, STATE COLLEGE STAR, TO JOIN TRIBE Heavy-Hitting Indiana University Catcher to Show Prowess Here This Week. BLUES OBTAIN LUTZKE Eoseoe Minton, etar catcher of the Indiana University nine, will Join the Indiana the latter part of this week. It was announced at Washington Park today. Minton Is hailed as one of the most promising catchers In Western collegiate circles and he will be given a thorough try ont by the Indianapolis club. The Crimson receiver Is said to be a hitter also, and o? course that means that he will stand a splendid chance of making good here. Manage? Hendricks has had friends watching the work of the I. P. catcher for some time, and he Is convinced that the big athlete will make a strong bid for a berth Umpire Harry Geisel, who has officiated in nearly all the Important State college games this spring, says Minton Is all that his friends claim for him when it comes to catching and hitting the ball. Geisel says Catcher Minton of Indiana and FLrstbaseman Schaalaub of Wabash College were the best performersof the State college ranks this season. Schanlaub is not giving league ball any serious thought at present, however, foi he has one more year In college. Minton finishes his college career this week, playing his last game at Bloomington against Purdue today. With the coming of Minton the Indians will have three catchers and the trio probably will be carried through the season, with Butch Henline chief of staff. Another bit of news cropped out of Washington Park today when It was made known that Rube Lutzke, utility player who quit the team when the Indians wore in Milwaukee, has beer, claimed by the Blues. Manager Knabe of the K. C. outfit said he lielieved he had room for another infielder and he took Lutzke by the waiver route. If Lutzke Is not used regularly by the Blues, he will be held for utility purposes. Lutzke quit the Indians when he goti highly peeved because Manager Hendricks did not give him the regular third | base Job. The Tribe manager couldn't see Lutzke as compared with Baird, for j Baird Is rated a stronger hitter and better base runner. Rube failed to hit j much over his own weight when he was ; used. He may pick up, however, now that he has had a chance to think the situation over, and the Bines may reap the benefit of his temperamental tactics. Blues and Indiana were to hook up In the third act of their aeries this afternoon and, with each club reaching for the rub contest, something out of the ordinary was promised the fans. The Hendrlcksmen were still in the league lead today despite the 3-to2 defeat of Tester, day and this fact was expected to bolster their confidence iu this afternoon's struggle. Bases on balls by Sterling Stryker ably assisted by an empire Mttrrgy offday and a muffed grounder in the outfield gave the Blues a grand opening In the fifth inning yesterday and before the j Indians could get back on their feet the ' K. C. boys had sent five markers over 1 the plate. It was the only inning they j ■cored, for Johnny Enamaan relieved I Stryker and pitched effectively the remainder of the way. Nick Carter, former Indianapolis favorite, was on the mound for the Blues and he showed some of his old-time effectiveness. The Hendricksmen got to him for six hits only, one a home run by Henilne In the third. It was a terrific clout over Center Fielder Good’s bead and Butch made the circuit standing up. The other Hoosler run cams in the fourth frame, when Rehg singled. Morrison singled and Schreiber came the same way. The Tribe defense was shaky In the damaging fifth Inning, errors by Shlnners and Sicking o/u-urrlng. The Blues played a perfect defensive game. Cochran and Leathers going big on the left side of the diamond.

Georges Too Open?
WANHASSET, L. 1.. June 7.—lu the few work-outs Georges Carpentler has performed with prees representatives looking on he has failed to exhibit more than a fleeting glimpse of the thing called fighting form. His work-out Monday was no different than the rest with the exception that he pot Joe Jeanette down for a couple of seconds with a right hand punch. Cor rentier's right hantF Is without a doubt his beet bet. His left l fast and he shoots true enough with it. liut the wallop Is In the right mitt. Perliaps the most puzzling tiling about Carpentler'* showing to date has been Ills failure to exhibit the marvelous defensive ability with which he Is credited. Jeanette and Journee have had no trouble reaching Ivls stomach and his Jaw with rights and lefts and a number of old-time boxers who have- seen hint work have agreed that bs Is wide open for a good left hand.

TAD’S ACID TEST FIISDS GEORGES VERY, VERY TAME
By TAD. NEW YORK, June 7.—ls you figure boxers as you do the horses, you must certainly be a rabid Dempsey rooter. Carpentler’s record can’t hold a candle to that of the champion. Carpentler has been stopped two or three times. He has also quit In fights. His fights of late years have been against hand-picked opponents. His foxy manager,/Descamps, will take no chances whatever. Carpenter's opponents have been soft marks—men, who, although big, are weak and sure of a flop when stung. Descamps allows only the very softest boxers to get into the ring with Georges. There was Dick Smith, Jußt a ham; Wells, a diver; Beckett, a set-up; Levinsky, a shell. Do you think that Descamps would allow his man to fight Willard, Fulton or Morris? No, sir. He even passed up Frank Moran, when a big purse was offered the pair. He will, however, take a chance on Pemsey, for there Is "everything in It for him." He has nothing to lose and the world to gain. JACK’S BEAT HARD GUYS. Let’s look at Dempsey's record. Has he picked his opponents? No; he didn't have a chance. He took on every heavyweight of importance in America and knocked them all cold. He didn’t miss one. Look at the list: Jim Flynn, Arthur Pelky, Gunboat Smith, Carl Morris, Battling Levinsky, Fred Fulton, Bill Brennan, Billy Mlske and Jess Willard. Pretty sweet record, eh? Carpentler Is a great fighter, we'll admit. He has beaten some really good •nen and fought some really great fights, but he doesn't compare with Dempsey. What has Carpentier that Dempsey lacks? Just talking fight, you know, no hard feelings. The writer doesn't care a rap
J list Like Tossing the Dice, Frenchie y s Manager Describes One WHI Throw Seven, the Other Craps, Descamps Tries to Explain. By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. MANHASSET, N. Y, June 7.—“ Like you say the little craps: ‘Come the seven’—so It is with Demsay and Carponzhay.’’ So figures Francois Descamps, manager of the French ring Idol. ‘‘lf Demsay make the pass the first he win If Carpouzhav -ah! If Carpouzhay he make the pass first, he win. It Is all in the throw. We gamble." he said today, coming as near as he has to telling h!s ring plans. Descaxnps was jubilant today. Instead of talking with his shoulders and his hands turned palm upward, Instead of answering everything with an "I do not say." he bad his tongue In high gear. He showed the first symptoms of good ! humor yesterday whn his Georges kn'ckej Jqe Jeanette to the floor. “So far until now Georges, be has been doing la box for the Journalists. Now he go and do the work for Demsay. Ho has beu do what you call the spoof, now b* have the real. “You must be the deteetlf now to see Georg s He only show himself Monday and r . ht -sday for the press. He must have nore time to his alone. “Th.'ee new box partners they come tomorre tv or maybe the next day. Who are they? Ah! that Is what yon say my beeznesa. I like to make the press guess. Ther are so good. “Harry Greb? I don't know. Billy Mlske? I don't know. Maybe Bill Brennan. Maybe Jess Willard. You don't know. Ha! Ha! Ujtave you In the doubt. Francois, he am aft, not? “I am not doing the Joke when I say we finish play. We go to the real work for Demsay. We not do too much, but we work everything Jnst for Demsay. “George Is In the fine shape. He feels good and he Is anxious to work. We want to get the punch ready - . “Somebody say today: ‘Georges, he have good legs for running, flu can run backways for three, four rounds.' Let me say to the country. Georges he never run from any one. He never run from Demsay. "He go in. He think—‘Come tho seven.’ He let go. Maybe Demsay he let go Maybe Carphonzhay miss. Maybe Demsay miss. If it Is the miss It Is the lose. VVe take the big chance—'come seven.’ ”
who wins. He hopes It’s a knockout and a square one without a fluke. Well, what has the Frenchman that Dempsey lacks? Is It speed? You don’t call Dempsey slow, do you? No sir. He's just as fast as any'' heavyweight champion we’ve ever had. Not so clever as Corbett, but a stouter fighter. Carpentler can’t take it like Dempsey. His record proves that. Dempsey has been hit and hit hard. Carpentier has been down any number pf tintes. Gunboat Smith, who couldn't drop Dempsey, had the Frenchman on the floor. Bombatdier Wells had him dotvn, and so did a number of others. Better head? Carpentler hasn't proved that he’s a smarter fighter than Dempsey. Where has he shown skill in skull work? Tunch? Well, he’s a good fighter, but where Is his K. O. record compared with Jack’s? FABT DOGS WON'T WIN. Foot work ? Throw that in the ashcan. A fighter needs more than a pair of fast dogs in the ring. Carpentier lost to Dixie Kid in five rounds when he was 18. He lost to Frank Klaus in nineteen rounds, and to Papke in seventeen rounds. He was 18 years of age at the time. What of it? Eddie Hanlon was runner-up for the championship at 17. George Dixon was a star at 16. Ketchel was going like a house afire at 17. Carpentier was not too young. You must remember that he was a marvel and a ring wizard when he wag 13 yea'c old. Papke was through as a fighter when he beat Carpentier. Papke had met Katchel four years before. But after that lost to Sailor Burke, Bob Moha and Frank MantelL He then went to Paris and beat Georges. If Carpentler can beat Dempsey, either the dope is very, very wrong or Dempsey has gone back 78,000 miles.
BENNY SCORES OVER KANSAS NEWARK, N. J.. June 7.—Benny Leonard's lightweight * championship crown is Just as far out of reach of Rocky Kansas today as it has ever been. In twelve rounds of milling before a crowd of 25,000 fans at Harrison last night Leonard won a popular decision over the sturdy Buffaloau. giving him a boxing lesson and at times rocking him with terrific punches that would have put a less sturdy opponent down and out. Kansas lived up to his reputation as a glutton for punishment. He can take It. He proved this conclusively. He also satlafled the spectators that although/he Is Leonard's inferior as a boxer, he ran punch and is entitled to rank as the foremost aspirant to the title. The crowd overawed the police and ring officials. Thousands who paid high prices for seats found strangers occupying them and no attempt was made to dislodge them. After the bouts got under way, fans picked up their chairs and moved en masse to the ringside, shutting off the view of thousands the rear.

SERIOUS STAGE NEARS IN TWO FISTIC CAMPS Corbett Says Value of Trainers Now Will Begin to Show. JACK HARDER WORKER By JAMES J. CORBETT, ‘Former World’s Heavyweight Champion. NEW YORK, June 7.—Georges Carpentier and JA£k Dempsey have just entered what I consider the most critical period of their training for the big bat ia at Jersey City July 2. Between now and June 20 both fighters must be carried along carefully and the manner in which they are handled, say during the next ten days, will mean a lot. After June 20 it will be the aim of their trainers, having built''them up to a certain point of physical fitness, to prime them for the big fight. Dempsey and his rival are both In very fine physical condition today. They have reached the point where it would be very harmful to do too much or too lit-, tie work, though the chance of over* training is the more dangerous. GOOD TRAINER VALUABLE ASBET. This Is where the value of a trainer who knows his man come* in. Anc 1 from what the fighters have done within the last few days I imagine that Kearns and Descamps have both entertained fears that their proteges might overstep tho limit. Carpentier has not expended any great amount of exertionOn the presence cf reporters, it is true, but he has been work* lng hard in private. To my notion the slight cut Jack Dempsey received over his eye Sunday came as more of a blessing than anything else, for It was not serious and it gave the champion a chance for a respite from too much boxing. JACK HARDER TO HOLD BACK. Dempsey's training schedule of boxing in public every day makes hts handling much more difficult than that of Carpentier, for no matter how fast or slow a pace he sets with his sparring partners, he expends energy, and what is more he boxes in the full glare of the boiling sun. At Carpentler s camp the ring Is pitched behind a barn in the shade of big trees and Georges gets most of his sunning oa the road in the early morning. It is noticeable that he has so far failed to show what might be called even a fair coat of tan, and as he is naturally fair-skinned this is unusual. One more thing is very essential in connection with the handling of both fighters from now until they enter the ring and that is the nursing of their mental attitudes. Dempsey, according to all reports and certainly when I last saw him, has exhibited ttye best nature of any heavyweight chtfmplon who ever trained for such i.n important battle. Carpentier, though usually cool and self-possessed, has shown several flashes of nervous ten perament, though for ihe most part his ready smile has been easily provokea. Keeping these two lads in a happy frame of mind means almost as much as whipping them into just the right physical pitch.
