HOT STUFFL PROVIDED FANS " AT TRIBE PARK Series With Champ Saints Develops Into Battle of OldFashioned Kind. DOUBLE BILL SUNDAY Hot stuff! Hot stuff! Red hot! That's what this Saint-lndlan series has developed into and there Is o celling what will happen before it ends The Indians grabbed fieri blood from the two-time champions yesterday. 5 to 4, but today was another day and another afternoon of thrills and frills was lue to be dished out at the old ball yard. The Saints are here with their fighting clothes on and they found the Hendrickskinen in that very same dress. Result: ■"he eries opener Friday had the players Karin’, the umpires raxin' and the fans Barin' right up to the game-ending out. ■ The old master. Pug Cavet. turned in Bis eleventh straight victory for his Kwelfth win out of thirteen starts for the Keason. That old boy is sure stepping f long. The king can sit in the parlor Counting up his money, but he hasn’t a Khing on Pug. for Pug can sit In the Clubhouse and count up victories at the Btverage of about two per week. ■ The Saints are here today and Sunday the week-end card at Washington Park certainly ought to attract the fans. /> ■ - -- ~ ™^l Kids’ Day Monday Through the courtesy of Vice Fr#sI] ident W. C. Smith Jr., of the Ini dianwpotis Baseball Club, boys of ! grade school age of the city will be 11 admitted free to bleacher seats at ! Washington Park Monday. The Mink neapolis Millers, bossed and guided by I the famous Pongo Joe Cantillon, will | be here to play the Indians that day. ■ j and the members of the local team I will be depending on the kids to pro- | vide plenty of rooting. II A special gate for the boys will be |! opened on the Washington street side Hi of the park and not even r.ar tax will i have to be paid for seeing the ball i teams perform. ! Every Monday during the school 1 summer vacation period will be free ! i ; day at the Tribe park for the "fuI ture greats.” Pretty soft for the boys, we say. Mike Kelley has his champions gingered np to a high pitch and they seem deter- j mined to unseat the Indians out of that first place berth Their efforts failed Friday and if the Hoosiers get good pitching today there was every reason to j believe that the two-time boys would ; be turned baok again. The Indians grabbed the lead in the opening frame Friday, but the figbtin' | Saints caught up later and passed the home team | Then Walter Rebg hoisted one over the low left field fence with Covington on base and the score was Lknotted at four and four. In the eighth Indians put over what proved tribe . Bhe winning marker. ■ But that ninth, oh, boy! No-one left his seat Friday before the third out. Bases filled, that's what the Saints had in the closing inning, but they didn't score. Edward Sicking, who speeds around the ; keystone, had the honor of making the game-ending put-out. and it was some out. Previous to that Walter Rehg made a perfect throw home, preventing a Saint runner scoring from third. Good arms sure to come in handy in the pinches Butch Hcnline and Marty Berghammer tried to mix in a fisticuff battle in this inning, but each was pulled away before damage was done. Arguments with the umpires were frequent. Talk about old-fashioned baseball. It’s being staged out at Washington Park j right now. In fact, it looks like a little l world's series. WASHINGTON PARK NOTES. Talk about a bargain day in baseball. i how's this? Tomorrow. Sunday, the Saints and Indians will tangle In a double-header, first game at 2 o'clock Managers Kelley and Hendricks got together today and decided to take Thurs- i day's postponed game and play it off kwith the regularly scheduled game SunHay. This means that the two-time Biamps and the present league leading will mix twice the same afterfor the one price of admission. With a twin bill carded tomorrow and the champs as the visiting attraction the Tribe park no doubt will see a capacity crowd. There is plenty of room for all. however, as the opening-day situation proved. It will he this city's chance to show what it can do in the way of turning out in support of a winning ball club. Pitcher Clint Rogge is due to join the Indians tomorrow and Manager Hen- | dricks plans to use him in one of the games of the double-header. The big right-hander showed well with the Clncy Reds the few times he was used and doubtless will be in good shape to step right in and help the Indiana stay on top. Walter Rehg drove in three of the Tribe's five runs Friday, getting two singles and a home run. In addition fu pounding the ball Walter played the sun field to perfection. If Big Tex Covington only can get out of his batting slump the combination of Covington and Rehg, surely will do some damage to opposing pitchers. Ralph Shinners’ throwing arm is show- i leg Improvement. He held a Saint on ! third Friday by a perfect peg in from j center. The Tribe added twe-more doable plays to its list. Sicking was In both. Eddie's game-ending catch in the ninth was a wlus. He was running with his back to the stands when he gathered in j Riggert'* bid for a hit. Ff Eddie hi dn’t speared the pellet two Saint runs would : 'have scored. By lifting the ball over the fence' Walter Rehg gets himself a suit of Clothes awarued by Douglas the tailor, j Baird got himself an infield hit and a double. The two-base knock opened. the way for victory. With Doug on , second Covington bunted for a sacrifice. 1 ditcher Shea, who had relieved oh the mound after the seventh, fielded the ball and then threw wild to first • base, Baird scoring. Duke Retlley. who is doing utility work j for the Saints, batted for Williams in the seventh and lined ot to Baird. It was a hard hit ball, but straight at the Tribe third sacker. Duke says when that old monkey jinx is on you he's on you. Ike Boone plays a nifty game at short for the Saints and bats hard. Armstrong at third is not a Goldie Kapp, but lieris filling the job in good style. The Saint outfield is the same dangerous crew. Haas. Miller and Riggert. Haas is the Tarxan of the league. He crashed ' into the left field fence yesterday and didn't even bounce back. The fence ap- ! parently got the worst of the crash. Cavet and Shinners will go to Louisville Monday to participate in the special game to be staged for the benefit of the widow of Empire Louis Knapp. It was at first thought that Henline was to! make the trip with Pug. but later ad-1 vice from President Hickey named Shin- ; ners. Two players from seven clubs will form a composite team to oppose the Colonels. The Minneapolis Millers, piloted by the rotund Pongo Joe Cantillon, will follow the Saints here Monday. yrt N. D. Elects Wynne SOUTH BEND, Ind., June 11.—Chester Wynne, holder of the national record in the 40-yard high hurdles, was Friday elected Notre Dame track captain for 1922. He also U regular fullback on the (football eleven.

FRANCE COMES TO DEFENSE OF PUGILIST HERO Gallivan’s Slacker Talk Regarding Carpentier Causes Indignation Overseas. • WAR RECORD PRODUCED PARIS, June IL—Much indignation and consternation has been aroused here among the friends and admirers of Georges Carpentier at the receipt of news telling of Representative Gallivaii's charges before the House of Representatives that Carpentier was a slacker during the war. Americans have little conception of what Georges Carpentier amounts to over here. He is the public dol, beloved alike for his loyalty aud patriotism, and also his pugilistic ability. The French war ministry hastens to relieve any shadow of doubt that might be resting in the hearts of America. The ministery went to work very soon after hearing of the charges made by Representative Gallivnn, and Georges' record underwent a critical examination. His record is one that any soldier could be proud of, and taere is little wonder at the indignant attitude taken by the French people of all classes. QUICKLY CHOOSES REAL ACTION. Even when the mutterlngs of war were I first heard in France, after all attempts lon the part,, of British and French | diplomats to'bring about a peaceful coinj promise between Belgium and Germany, i Georges was waiting the call to his counj try's aid. He was stationed at St. Otner i Pas de CalalH, when the war actually brake out, and was in the service of the Corps D'Avlon. in the capacity of a chauffeur. He was not long in obtaining permission to attend the ground school at Vendome. and after a short term as student, was enrolled as an accomplished aviator, and wan attached to the Escadrille Cllnquante, Lying a Fartnan plane. This was in the nays when there were few Lewis or machine guns to take up! with a flyer, and the combat was, in the j | greater part, \done with pistols. The i planes too In those days had not reached j the pitch of efficiency which blessed , I the flyers of later periods, being for the j greater part planes which had been j used for professional flying before the i outbreak of war. GOES BACK AFTER CRASH. May 24th Georges was sent to the' front, and was sent back August, 1915.; to await transfer to another escadrille On August 28 the only real piece of bad: luck he had came along, when he was l Injured in a crash, but he rapidly got over this and was on Sept. 11 p aced on j the personnel of "Escadrille Cllnquante- i cinqo%" (56). His work was largely photography and reconnaissance In prep- • cration for the ill fated Champaigne drive on Sept. 25 of that year. Asa reconnaissance flyer Carpentier won much fame, and was cited for many fearless exhibtlons over the enemy position. One citation in particular records him having flown 200 feet above a hostile j position and his machine was a mass of; bullet holes when he returned to his headquarters. HON MEDAL IN' HOT SECTOR. In 1916 when the Crown Prince was i battering the I.e Morte Hodme-Doua- j mont line around the defenses of Ver- i dun, and General Petain was astounding \ the world with his wonderful defease, j Carpentier was a pilot in Escadrille No. 8. t flying a Fartnan bus aud doing noble! work v. Right down in that sector where life, was worth less than a moment's purchase, I Georges shone t s an aviator and was dec- j orated for his services, on November 0, j 1916, receiving the Medaille Militaire. October 26. when Petain and Nivelle recap- j lured Vaux and Douamont, he was: praised by General Petain for his fear-j lessness during the crisis. The exposure to all hinds of elements i were too much for Carpentier. however.! and he had to retire from the front line service in December, 1916. He was Bent to Viry Chattlllon Hospice, and later to j Chagnicourt, a suburb of Paris When the war was called at an end Carpentier was physical instructor at Joinviile, headquarters of the department of physical education. Alexa and British Champ Can Not Meet in Early Rounds of Golf Event PARIS. June 11. —The draw Friday for! the woman's international goif championship to begin at Fontainebleau, June 14.! excludes the possibility of a meeting : between Miss Alexa Stirling of Atlanta. | the American woman champion. Hnd Miss ; Cecil I.eitch. holder of the British worn an's Mtlfe, before the finals of the tour- j nament. / A survey of the field, however, which j includes twenty-one English, eight Amur- 1 ican snd e’ght French entries, has l**d i experts here to view optimistically the chances of the two champions clashing in the deciding match. / The play next Tuesday begins at 2 p. m. with five matches. Miss Lsitch will play Miss Alice Hanchett of San Francisco, while Miss Stirling will play Mile. Chasseloup-Laubat of France. Cub Chief Discovers Cause of Lively Balls CHICAGO, June 11. —Discussing the lively bail now in use In the major leagues Friday President William Veeck of the Chicago Cubs, curious whether there really is any difference in the pellet being used at present compared to the one of last season, cut open a 1920 and a 1921 ball. This was clone in the presence of several of the players and newspaper men and they did not need a magnifying glass to see that the rubber in the 1921 ball was thicker than In the 1920 ball. President Veeck did not stop at this investigation. He secured two more 1921 balls and cut them open. There was a difference again. The rubber was i virtually the same as that put in the center of the 1920 ball, and in one of the i balls the cork in the center of the rubber | was larger, showing that the body of I the baseballs are not all the same.. New Eligibility Rules MINNEAPOLIS, June 11. Anew j eligibility ruling at the University of j Minnesota by which students with failures may regain an eligible standing in one quarter was announced Friday by K West, registrar. The new ruling is effective immediately and is considered a great help to athletes, who in the past had to remain ineligible an entire year. The new ruling would place the student on probation for one quarter, and should his work in that time prove satisfactory the failure would be automatically removed. / To Coach at Albion COLUMBIA, Mo., June 11.—John F.

Three weeks trom today Georges Carpentier and Jack Dempsey will crawl through the ropes at Jersey City to stage the “battle of the century."

next week, Dempsey is fit to tackle anything from a buzz saw to an express train. His big care from now on will lie not to go over the level of tine condition and start down the other side, as he did before the Brennan fight. Carpentier, too, is in excellent shape The writer was included In a small crowd that watched him work out yesterday, and there is not the shadow of a doubt about his physical condition. He perspires easily, his breathing Is regular and freer than it was a week or so ago when he was suffering from a slight cr.Jd In the head. His skin takes on that pink, healthy glow ml be has n slight coating or tan. Unlike Dempsey, the French, champion does not turn brown under the son and when they get into the ring together there will he a striking contrast between them. Cornentier will be the nimble, pink-skinned Adonis. Dempsey will be the personification of a grizzly tear.

What Paris Sport Eds Think of Title Bout ' PARIS, June 11.—Here are some of the opinions of Paris sport critics on the Carpentier-Dempsey fight. Ileuri De* Granges, director of the dally sporting newspaper, L'Auto: ! "Carpentier will win. I say this not because I am a Frenchman, but because Carpentier Is too fast : too scientific. He will not receive a seriout blow. ILs victories always have been Impressive. He Is the real I leader of boxing. Dempsev has a fine record, but he is nut built of the same stuff as Corbett, Fitzsimmons or Jeffries." Georges Casolia. eports editor of Coiroedla: "I think Carpentier will win. but It will not be an easy vie- i tory. Dempsey Is a dangerous ad- i versary.” H. Bert, sports editor of La Vic- ! has done practically nothing except to whip Willard. Carpentier has a trunk load of victories In evtry class since he started to box.” Gym Injury Fatal CHICAGO, June 11.—A Miller, Kansas City (Mo), student at the University of; Illinois, Is dead here ns the result of in- i juries received several weeks ago while practicing at the Illinois gymnasium, when lie slipped while turning a hack flip

Labor Day Battles ii~ the Making for Champ and Frenchie Atlantic City Wants Jack and Jess—Descamps Also After Bout. By TAD. NEW Y'ORK, June 11.—We are reliably informed that both Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier are looking for suitable opponents for bouts on Labor day. A prominent sporting man of Atlantic City has let it be known that he is ve,y anxious to sign Dempsey and Willard for the City by the 9ea on that date, and intends to build a big arena for the bout if he lands it. 'I don't care if we do not have any New, Y'orkers there,” he chirped in an uptown hotel yesterday. "We have enough people in Atlantic City and the surrounding towns to fill any arena. The float ng population of Atlantic City alone >s 150.(100 a day at this seasom and. believe me. I’d have an overflim for the fight that would fill a second arena. The people want to see Willard in auother go with Jack. There are any number who believe that he can beat Dempsey. It would be x good bet'ting fight, and a thriller to watchi” As for Carpentier. we hear on pretty good authority, that Manager Descamps has buzzed Tex Rickard about ft show on Labor day for his man. He feels that 'Georges will beat Dempsey and wants to get another crack at American doUars before going back to France. If Georges should lose to Dempsey after a stubborn battle, he would be a great card against a suitable opponent. He wouldn’t draw, however, with any of the men that Tom Gibbons has had handed to him. He'd have to get some one with some sort of a show. Fight fans will have only two months to rest up, as Labor day comes lu September. arid it would have to be a pretty good card to hop the public up again after auch an event as will be offered j July 2. Heinie Back on Cincy Bench Awaiting Call; McGraw Praises Landis ! CINCINNATI, June IX.—Heinie Groh accepted the decision of Commissioner Landis with good grace, although he was disappointed to a certain extent, as i tie had wished to go to the New Y'ork team, which had made a large offer for him. Heinie would have left for St. Louis ! lari night with the Giants, as the deal I had been fully arranged. The New York club offered the choice : of any one of its pitchers, except Barnes aud Nehf. and the sum of $100,600 for Groh. Catcher Gonzales would have been Included at a valuatlor of SIO,OOO, if the i Reds had wanted him 1 Groh was at the park yesterday and | went through practice with the Reds, taking his old position at third base for a shiirt time during fielding practice. [ He sat on the bench during the game, ! and wus ready to go into the line-up if Manager Moran had needed him. Louis' Fonseca is at this time suffering from a bad cut on his foot, and if he becomes i too lame to play, Moran's plan is to shift Bohne to second, aud put Groh on 1 third. Manager McGraw was very strong in his support of Judge Landis’* decision. "The Judge is the supreme arbiter in baseball," said the famous Giant leader. “We are all pledged to support him in every wav, and we all know that he is giving careful thought to every decision, and that he is not influenced by prejudice or partisanship, but is strictly neutral. Therefore no one can have the slightest criticism of his ruling in this case.” , , , ,s. President Herrmann said Judge Lan- ! dis's derision In the Groh case establishes n fine precedent in baseball and is great--I]y to be recommended. “1 had promised (iroh that we would trade him to some other club,” said the Red (Tiief. “That promise would have been kept to the letter, but, of course, the Judge has ruled over us In the matter Judge Landis is a far —eeing man and his decision looks toward the future. Ills idea is a broad one. for the Intention is to prevent players from dictating terms with a view to bring traded. Although it upsets our plans for the present. I want to be one of the first to congratulate the Judge a his falrmludednets in this caae.” A’s on Short End KT.

GEORGES’ FAST RIGHT SCORES HIT WITH JIM Corbett Sees Carpentier in Good Work-out and Is Pleased With Form. KNOWS HOW TO SPAR By JAMES J. CORBETT, Former World’s Heavyweight Champion, MAA'H ASSET, L. 1., June 12.--"Georges is expecting yon, Mr. Corbett Come right in. You’ll find him over there in the yard.” With this pleasant greeting from Trainer Gus Wilson, I invaded Carpentaria training camp Friday and watched him box in private for the flr3t time. I found the French champion lolling on the lawn in front of his cozy quarters with Joe Jeanette. Paul Journee and Italian Joe Gans. I sat down and talked with them for a time, as the hour for training had not arrived. Carpentier told me of his training routine and later went through his regular program just as he does in private. I was very much impressed and consider it quite a compliment because, first of all, Georges is a fellow who hates to work in public. PHYSIQUE MAKES HIT WITH JIM. When 3 o’clock arrived, Georges Georges skipped nimbly into the house and got into his working togs. He came out dressed in ring attire and a long bathrobe and we all walked back to the barn. There he took off his robe and I saw him stripped for action for tb first time. 1 was agreeably surprised. Georges i* built like the ideal athlete. His shoulder, arm and leg development is wonderful. He is not a Hercules. Instead he is built like a fine thoroughbred horse. He isn't anything like Dempsey, wtio is bigger and more rugged. This fellow Carpentier is built for speed and I believe he has it. Georges punched the hag, skipped the rope, worked on the pulleys, slugged the heavy bag, went through gymnastic Btifhts and boxed with Journee, Jeanette and Gans. He went after his work with a will and worked up a perspiration that made his skin glow. GEORGES SHOWS SPEEDY RIGHT, Os course I know that a man can't always cut loose and hurt his sparring partners. He wouldn't have them long if he did. And Georges didn’t knock anybody out, or down. But he showed me a world of speed, a good head and as fast a right hand as I have ever seen in the heavyweight division. In fact he has one of the snappiest right hands the heavyweight clars has ever knY*wn. I was especially impressed with the way he used his right and the manner in which he worked up to it, fiddling around and never giving a sign in advance that would tip you off when you might expect him to let loose with It. When be cuts loose he is quick, snappy and a good slugger. Os course he did no defensive work while I was there because he was working aggressively to get rough exercise and did not try to rest himself, lie never stopped going for at least forty solid minutes, except to mop off his ’forehead. In boxing with Journee and Jeanette he worked like a Trojan and when he slugged he did so with very good judgment.—Copyright, 1921, by International News~-iserTice. Men, Women, Children Flock to See Champion ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., June 11.— Were it not for the presence of Jack Dempsey, this summer resort would be a raw fizzle, because the weather is just as raw as the oysters one hooks with the fork hereabouts. It ready is remarkable the way the people flock out to the .airport camp to watch the world's champion. The workouts are mild at that, because Dempsey is doiDg no boxing. Men, women, and children turn ou every afternoon and the fair sex In particular is making a strong showing. Golfers pay Tribute to Memory of Bert Wilbur. The explosion of a beotb on th& Highland golf course at 3:30 oNdock this afternoon was to be a signal to all golfers on Indianapolis courses to halt plav for one minute in respect to Bert Wilbur, former Highland golfer, who died Thursday. The bomb was to be exploded at the time of the starting of the funeral procession from the Wilbur residence. The golfers were to be started on their way again by the explosion of another bomb at Highland. The death of Wilbur takes from the midst of Hoosler golfers oue of their most prominent figures. Wilbur was a strong campaigner for years and carried off a raft of championships, including city and St3te titles.
