SHOWERS AGAIN HALT INDIANS’ REGULAR CARD First Battle With Champ Saints Prevented on Account of Wet Grounds. OTHER TRIBE GOSSIP Wet grounds interfered with the playug of today's scheduled game between ihe Saints and Indians when it was decided at noon to postpone the contest rather than attempt to play on the soggy diamond. Hope was held out for a time this morning, but when the sun refused to show itself the Washington Park officials declared hostilities off until Friday. Owner Smith and Manager nendricks returned from Cincinnati today minus any new talent, but still hopeful of something materializing shortly. Arrangements were made with the Cincinnati Club for the return of Pitcher Clint Rogge to Indianapolis and the possibility <;f a deal with the New York Giants was launched in a conference with John McGraw. Rain prevented the Reds and Giants meeting yesterday and Manager Hendricks was unable to locate Ragge to talk over the terms for his return here. John McGraw talked encouraging to Owner Smith regarding the possibility of obtaining a pitcher or a utility intielder for the Hoosiers. Attendance at YVashington Park games Is expected to pick up, now that the two-time Champ Saints are in town. Baseball crowds here have not been up to what they should, considering the fact that the Indians are in first place, bnt It is believed that the presence of Mike Kelley's boys will create some ot the old-time enthusiasm. .Other cities In the circuit are drawing big attendance and the situation here has got American Association officials guessing. The postponement Wednesday robbed the Indians of a chance to get an eve-| break in the K. C. series, but the idle, day gave the Tribe pitching staff a chance to rest and also worked to the advantage of Sicking and Uenline, wuo are nursing bruised fingers. Jbon't forget to attend these St. Paul games. The Northmen are becoming as dangerous as of old. Also that speed boy, A. Puke Relllev. former Indian, is wearing a Saint uniform, and If the Pukelets gets in the games here he Is bcrfind to try to pull some feature stuff Puke gave long service to the Indianapolis ball club and was an all around star when in his prime. Affable Mike Kelley, St. Paul manager, comes out with the prediction that this year's A. A. race will be the warmest for many seasons. He has his own team stepping along at a lively gait at present, but says the pennant tight is not going to be a walk-away for any club. Vet Charlie Hall Is still acting In the capacity of lieutenant to Manager Kelley in addition to taking his regular turn on the mound.

Kearns Wants None of Descamps’ Hurdling the Ropes Day of Big Bout

BY TAD. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 9 —"Manager Descamps, I see, ha* rigged up barbed wire barricades agai *t the public," piped Jack Kearns today. ‘Tie didn't want the public to crash the gate. His troubles are over. I'd like barbed wire put around Carpentier corner the day of the big fight to keep Descamps from crashing into the ring if things go wrong for Georges. "He gave me an idea with that barbed wire. You know he hurdled the ropes many a time over there In Europe when his man was being licked and I don't want it done tills time. He got (way with it in the Gunboat Smith fight and a couple of others, but if the referees were square shooters they would have disqualified Carpentier. A man's handier has no right In the riDg until a decision is given. “Descamps would have broken nil records for pole vaulting if he had been In the Olympic games. He Is Europe's foremost hurdler, take It from me. I hear that they have hurdles up at Manhasset for Carpentier. In my heart I reall* think that Descamps uses them himsel’. “I want the referee of tnis fight to abide by the rules and bar hurdling the same as foul blows. I never Jumped in a ring yet to claim a foul for Dempsey. Jack won his title by fighting and if he loses it he'll lose It fighting. I wouldn't make a complaint except that I know this fellow Descamps by reputation. If Dempsey intentionally fouls Carpentier I'm willing to lose, but <J don't want any rope hurdling until the referee makes his decision. Jack will fight a fair and square battle and if he loses will not comp'aln. He doesn't want to win on a foul and will not claim one unless It is intentional and obvious to every one at the ringside. Dempsey knows 'hat some day he'll get his and is willing to take it when the time comes.”

CHICAGO LIKES GLEASON KIDS

Youngsters, Filling Shoes of Scandal Players, Get Loyal Support. CHICAGO, June 9.—Chicago has forgotten the former YVhite Sox idols who brought the world championships to this city, end a group of comparatively ineperienced rookies, playing on a team losing more games than it wins, are becoming greater heroes in the eyes of the fans than were the men who once won games almost at will, but fell into disgrace through the alleged sell-out In the 1919 world's series with Cincinnati. Joe Jackson, Happy Felsch. Chick Gandil, Swede Risberg, Buck Weaver—names once on every youngster's tongue and in newspaper headlines nearly every (lay—now are mentioned in Comlskey Park only when a fan expresses his approval or some that fellow’s got it all over ,” using the name of the former star whose place the rookie was taking. The Sox rookies came Into the league facing the hapdicap of having to fill the shoes of some of the greatest players the game has ever known. None of them has become a league leader, but every oue of them has won a big place in the Chicagoan’s heart by hard work, and a trip through the stands would convince most any one that the persons who pay admission day after day are more than satisfied with their new team, no matter how many games it loses. FALK OWNS 111S BLEACHERS. Bib Falk, who came from a Texas college to replace the great Joe Jackson in left field, is probably the most popular of the youngsters. Falk virtually owns the left field bleachers. He is cheered every time he makes a catch and when he makes errors there is no booing

Uls recent gamewinning home run with the bases full find his fence httting clouts have made Jackson little more than a memory At first base. Earl Shelly Is considered the best fielder since tin* days of Jiggs Donohue. This youngster takes wild throws wt h the. case of George Staler and his brilliant fielding has made the fans forget his weak hitting. At shortstop Ernie Johnson, found wanting in the big leagues in the past days through weak hitting, has made himself a hero through sensational fielding, and is hatting more than .300. Mulligan, at third, is hnrd'y a Buck Weaver, but the youngsters earnest work and desire to make good, mingled with steady playing, have made a favorable Impression. Mulligan. Johnson and Sheoly played together wlrb Salt Lake last year and with the veteran Eddie Collins to steady them make nn Infield whirh more than satl.'.fies Owner Charles A. Comiskey'g customers.

MISKE SCORES OVER BRENNAN ST. PAUL, June 9,—Flghtlug in the form that brought him a chance at Jack Dempsey's crown, Billy Miske of St. Paul, in an open-air arena at Lexington l ark, the home of the St. I'aul American Association baseball team, last nigut sprung the surprise of the fistic year by outpointing Bill Brennan of Chicago, the man that stayed twelve rounds with Champion Jack Dempsey. Miske's form was a surptlae to his friends. He boxed with that clever Miske style that forced Dempsey to give him a chance at the cron n at Benton Harbor. Miske's victory is especially noteworthy because he gave Brenan eighteen pounds, Miske tipping the scales at nn even 180 pounds at 3 o'clock yesterday, while Bretmu s weight was 198. Ihe first two rounds were even, although Miske was the aggressor. In the third, Miske got a shade and the fourth was even. Brennan took the fifth and ninth. The sixth, seventh and eighth were Miske's, the latter by a shade but tho first two by wider margins, and the tenth, which round both men fighting furiously, was pven. It was a r**al surprise battle. The l:ayo that Brennan boasted he would give the St. Paul man never came close. Instead, when Brennan tried to mix it, it was Miske's rights and lefts that sent the Chicago battler away. Either Brennan is far from the fighter he lias been touted to be. or Miske has vastly Improved Ar least, Miske was a shade the best of the two last night. which wiil probably mean a return battle iu New Y'ork. Kid Norfolk of Now York, outpointed C'lem Johnson of Portland, Ore., in a ten round preliminary before the main bout of the evening.

Challenger Puts on Fancy Show Before Very Select Party Uncorks Some Real Boxing in Workout With Three Sparring Mates.

By SID MERCER, International Newa Correspondent. MANHASSET, L. 1., June 9—Before a small but select audience back of the old barn at Matthews’ farm, Georges Carpentler stepped four fast rounds against three sparring partners YVednesday afternoon and showed mora In a boxing w*ay than he has heretofore uncovered for the “experts," on days when newspapermen were admitted to the ringside. The most prominent guest at Carpentier s exclusive matinee was Vincent Aster, who motored down from New York with a party of friends. Carpentler seemed to be much more at ease before this audience than he was when the newspaper critics were on hand. He punched the bag for ten minutes without raising more than a slight perspiration. He then entered the ring and began boxing with Paul Journee. After Journee came Dare Rosenberg. He wore a heavy headguard and got home some heavy blows while the French champion danced around and did some fancy boxing. Rosenberg went two rounds and when he finished was perspiring profusely while Carpentier hardly turned a hair. The Frenchman did no shadow* boxing, but comple ed his work-out by boxing a round with Italian .100 Gans, and then went through his usual ring calisthenics.

CORBETT SEES VALUE IN PLAN OF CARPENTIER Jim Says if Frenchie Wants to Hide Tricks It’s Entirely Permissible. By JAMES J. CORBETT, Former YVorld’s Heavyweight Champion. NEW YORK, June 9.—Some peopl* who have been watching Georges Carpeotier In his workout at Manhaasat are picking him to lose to Jack Dempsey on what he has shown with curiouß visitors in his camp. Why this should be the case I cannot understand because from my talks with him and from what his record shows it isl a certainty that he can box and that he possesses a punch heavy enough to de- j feat any man living if he lands on the right spot. i planned to be among those present at Manhaset today. I hoped he would! unlimber some of his best punches, but I doubted that he would. Asa matter of fact Carpentler isn’t showing anything. It Is his prerogative to do his real work in private and so far he has taken advantage of it. ar of the accounts I have read from Manhasset have contained hints that Georges bears the earmarks of a boxer w*ho has a lot to learn. But wait. A really clever boxer can easily fool spec- ! tators. He can show as much or as little ss he cares to. He can appear slow footed, conceal his bast punches and make himself appear to be a "sucker’’ for a left or a right or left hand for that matter. I hare not yet seen Carpentler in a real work-out, but I am convinced that 1 any boxer who was good enough to stand off Joe Jeanette as far back as i 1914 must have something, for in thus* days Joe was a fine boxer and a strong hit'ter. I Dempsey is much different than Carpentier. Essentially he is a fighter and no matter when he gets Into action he boxes as he fights. At Atlantic City camp, he has shown practically every punch that is a favorite with him because it is natural for him to do just that. And he isn't trying to conceal anything. He believes he can defe’at Carpentier and he is going into the ring July 2 to accomplish this purpose as quickly as possible. But even Carpentier, should he etudv Dempsey in action, would not have a positive line on how the champion l might be expected to meet his (Carpenter's) attack ia a real fight. No man can be positive regarding what to expect from an opponent. Every fighter must make bis fit it as it comes to him or as he sees openings for offense. All the advice in the world Is useless before a battle actually gets under way.—(Copyright, 1921, by International News Sarvi ice.)
