MILLERS COME FOR ROUND OF TRIBE BATTLES Indians Hope to Brace Now That Hustling Saints Are Out of Town. WEEKEND IS COSTLY Bumped off three times OTer the weekend by the championship-mad Saints the Indians today hoped to regain their morale and winning ways at the expense of the Minneapolis Millers. Pongo and his athletes from the “Other Twin City" came np from Louisville for their first 1921 visit to the Tribe park and. due to the popularity of Pongo and anrne of his vets a fair-sized crowd was expected to turn out for the pastiming this afternoon. This was the kids’ day at the park, all boys of grade school age being admitted to the bleachers free. The future greats were to be admitted to the confines of the park without even paying war tax, so there was every reason to believe that the boys of the city would turn out in large numbers to root for the Indians. As for ‘the Millers, a number of players well-known to the fans are again traveling with Pongo. Reb Russell, Sherry Magee. Rondeau, Jennings. Wade and Lowdermilk are among the popular members of the Flower City outfit. Russell whose home is here, has been pounding’ the ball at a great rate and he is in a race with Bunny Brief for home run honors of the league. _ It was a tough week-end for the Indians. Defeated three times by the Saints and knocked out of first place was 100 per cent disaster, but at the rate the two-time champs were hitting it ts hardly likely that any club could hate (topped Uiem. Saturday, in a five-inning game baited by rain, the Kelleyites won, 1 to 0, and then In the twin bill Sunday, with about 9.000 fans looking on, the Saints walloped the Indians twice, 4 to 2 and 12 to 7. Asa result of the Saint rampage thev are now in first place while the Hendricks men have been dropped to fourth. However, there is little difference in points between the first division clubs at present and a short winning streak would send the Indiana bounding hack into the lead again. Elmer Miller and his big bat put the chill into the Indians in both games Sunday. the rangy center fielder getting two home runs. In the first game he put his club ont in the lead In the opening inning with a four-base knock over the left center field fence with a man on base and In the starting inning of the second struggle be duplicated the performance. In the two games Miller got two home runs, two doubles and a single. How you going to stop that kind of hitting? Doug Baird was the hitting star for the Indians with six safeties in the two contests, three in each. Jess Petty opposed Charlie Hall on the monnd in the first contest and Jess hurled good ball after Miller had touched him for a homer. However, the Indians couldn't get their attack organized properly against Hall and he managed to ease through a wiaer. The Hoosiers got the hits, but they didn't get the “breaks" the Saints enjoyed and their blows did not account for sufficient runs. In the second setto Clint Rogge opened on the mound for the Tribe and it was plainly seen that he was not ready, for be lasted only two innings, during which time the Salats pounded out six runs. Clint was keenly desirous of making a good showing and it Is believed that be was so anxious to please the fans that he was unable to find his steadiness. Bartlett took up the pitching In the third and would have gone along In style bad his support been solid. Hanson failed to stick the route out for the Saints and retired in favor of Foster in the sixth. Foster was wild gnd lasted only until the eighth, when Mike Kelley rushed Merritt into the fray to check a threatened Tribe rally. Only eight innings of the second struggle were played because of the 6 o’clock Sun day law. While Bartlett was in the game he gave the fans something to cheer ibout by getting a triple, double and a Salk.
MINTON AND HINKLE RELEASED. Two Indian try-outs were released by Manager Hendricks today when he cut the strings to the contracts of Utility Player Paul Hinkle, Butler College coach, anil Catcher Minton of Indiana University. The Tribe boss decided the eollege youths did not measure up to American Association standard and that they hardly would have a chance to break into the Indian line-up. Hinkle signed today to play with the Spartan (S. C.) League team. Mike Kelly, local boy, recently was made manager nt the Spartanburg club and he grabbed kt the chance to obtain Hinkle. With Henline and Dixon in good eLape and the club in such a hot tight, there would have been little opportunity to give Catchen Minton a thorough trial and for that reason Manager Hendricks advised the young collegian to try to locate with a club in a league of lower classification, where he could obtain regular work. Before departing for Louisville last night. Manager Kelley of the Saints cut Duke Reiiley off the Saint pay roll and turned over over to the St. Joe team of the Western League. There was no chance for the Duke to break into the heavy hitting St. Paul outfield and he did not offer any protest against being sent to St. Joe. Yip Owens, former American Association veteran, is managing St. Joe and he believes Reiiley •will be able to go big In that circuit. The release of Reiiley to the Western League marks the passing of one of the A. A. landmarks. During his long career In the Association the Duke played with Columbus, Indianapolis, Louisville and St. Paul, and when in his prime was one of the classiest outfielders and base runners in the circuit. Yank Private High in Points COBLENZ, June 13.—French athletes Saturday won the games organized by the occupation forces in Germany, scoring a total of 84 points to 75 for the Americans, 28 for. the British and 21 for the Belgians. Pvt. Adam Paul of Arkansas was the high point winner and was presented with a Coq du Gaulois donated by Minister of War Barthou. The closing games were witnessed by a great crowd which included all of the allied high commands. Western Owners Meet ST. JOSEPH, Mo., June 13.—Announcement is made that there will be a meeting of the owners of the Western League club* in Des Moines June 14 for the purpose of investigating recent clashes between some of the club owners and umpires. EDMONSON HIGH GIN. Edmonson was high man in the regular weekly Indianapolis Gun Club shoot Saturday, with a score of 93 out of a possible 100. H. C. Stuta was second with 97 and Lines third with 96. Ford was the final winner of the Hableh trophy. Stutz and Parry were high in the handicap event. NEW WATER RECORD.

‘WISE’ BOYS HAVE DEMPSEY DOING FLOP IN THE FOURTH
By HARRY NEWMAN ' MANHASSET, L. 1., June 13.—" The Jack Dempsey-Georges Carpentler fight is crooked. The big shindig is going to be one of those waltzing affairs; Georges is going to win in four rounds: Dempsey is to take the flop, grab off 1.000.000 smackers and call it a day, while the suiters will be taken like Grant took Richmond." That is what a collection of those Long Island commuter folks slipped us as we grabbed the rattler with the rest of the gang on our dally trip to get a slant at the Frenchman. Those bundle toters insist that they have been let 1 non the know and that the fight is in. No amount of argument will convince those fellows to the contrary. The whole thing is crooked so far as those lawn manTcnrists are concerned, and they are all now busily engaged taking the wraps

WHO’LL WIN?
NEW YORK, June 13— Johnny Couion, former worlds bantamweight champion: "It looks to me like tossing a coin. Carpentier is fast and a hard puncher. Americans generally under rate him. On the other hand, Dempsgy also is fast, and while probably not as finished a boxer, is a harder hitter. He is under-rated in Europe. It waj laughable , to have European sportsmen on my recent tour over there talk to me as though Jack were another Beckett. If Jack makes the same kind of a fight he did at Toledo, it may be another case of a good big man beating a good little one.**
INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JUNE 13,1921.
Nobiesville went to bat in the last half of the ninth the score was 2 to 1 in favor of Frankfort. "Bunny” Hare reached first on an error after two were out. Swope hit to center for three bases and scored Hare. "Allie” Hare drove the ball down the third base line for a single and scored Swope. Each of these teams has won a game. The third game will likely be played on neutral grounds. The Beech Grove Reds put another check on their long victory string, defeating the West Parks, 5 to 2, in an interesting contest. The winners got all their runs in the sixth round. The Meldons were too strong for the Midway A. C.s, handing them a 18 to 7 lacing. The Lebanon Red Sox had to put out all the baseball they had to defeat the Indianapolis Monarchs, 3 to L CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., June 13Cambridge hammered Neidhemmeh hard here Sunday afternoon, while Battson hurled airtight ball at nearly all times, the locals winning from Rushville, 12 to 4.

MARION, Ind., June 13.—The Marlon Boosters evened up for the defeat of a few weeks ago and defeated Anderson, 2 to 1, here Sunday. Dawson was tight in the pinches and was helped by good fielding at critical moments, Anderson scored on an error, while clean hits enabled Marion to get two runs. GREEXSBURG, Ind., June 13.—The Greensburg Eagles were too much for the Counersviiie Reserves here Sunday and won, 8 to 2.

Trinkle, North Side Club, Thirtieth and Clifton streets, Randolph 6701.

off their well known b. r. to get aboard the band wagon. THEY KNOW THESE BIRDS DO. “Surprised that yon have not heard about it,” said the spokesman for one of these groups, a* he eased us into a corner of tho car to slip u the real lowdown. “Here is the way they are going to work it.” he continued. “A syndicate has been formed, made up of ten men. which includes representatives from both principals. ‘They will pool their Interests, of course, and plan to grab off no less than $10,000,000, or 1,000.000 cold smackers for each and every member concerned. The fight-rs have been fixed. “Dempsey will take the dive as per agreement in the fourth round. This mob will work the entire country, grabbing *ll the short money in sight. Then they will offer some fancy prices on Carpentler to win Not a chance in the world to lose. Don't you see how easy It is? Yes, and we have been let In on it Better get aboard there, kid, and roll with the rest of us, as we are In ou the ground floor ” We tried to submit an argument against such a proposition going through successfully. We suggested that Dempsey would probably realize no less than a million dollars out of the whole thing whether he won or lost, and we could not see the wisdom In Dempsey going through with such a crooked job. WON'T LISTEN TO AKGI MENT. Incidentally we suggested that If Car pentier and Dempsey attempted to pull such a Barney In the presence of more than 50,000 fight fans, someone would be very likely to get bumped off, but that commuting crow shouted us right down out of our place. They know that the fight has been tixyd and they also advised us that following the flop by Dempsey the latter would repair to France to fight Georges before the French comeons and that then it would be Oarpentier's turn to pull the Kellerman act. • We had great difficulty yanking ourselves free from this mob as the conductor yelled out our station. As we stepped along the road leading to Caroentler's fight quarters, they were still yt’llng advice and urging us not to be a sucker, but to string along and get some of that easy money. And then we got to thinking—what about it. If those birds had the right dope? But the chances are that they'll all bet on Dempsey when they actually put up their cash.
Jack’s Estate Once Consisted of Collar Button and a Shirt
GOLDFIELD, Xev., June 13.—What a difference a few year* make. In 1915 Jack Dempsey fought In Tonopiih and Goldfield, Nev. At that time he was living in a cabin in Goldfield. about a mile from the railway station. One night he boxed Johnny Sullen berg. The next, morning "Doc” Lewis, telegraph operator who lived next door to Jack's humble abode, saw the latter leaving with a big suitcase. "Doc” was in ills Jitney bus. Noticing the size of Dempsey's suitcase he said: "Where are you going?” "Going to pull out,” said Jack. "Get in and I’ll give yon a ride,” said "Doc.” "That thing will get heavy before you get to the depot.” “No, Hint's all right,” replied Dempsey. "It won't get heavy. All I have in it is a shirt and a collar button.” And today Jack has a flock of trunks, a private secrelury and a luxurious limousine. What a difference a few years make!

CORBETT SEES FRENCHIE SET TO ENTER RING In Great Shape and Has Plan of Battle All Mapped Out. CREDIT TO TRAINERS By James J. Corbett, Former World’s Heavyweight Champion. (Copyright, 1921, by International News Service.) MANHASSET, L. 1., June 13.—Georges Carpentler is in great shape. 1 have tized him up carefully and I believe I am qualified to Judge th condition of an atklete, especially a boxer. To my mind he Is ready to fight now. It would be to his advantage, in fact, should the fight take place tomorrow. I mean l.y this that he is practically as good now as he can get, and If he could evade the coming days of training and dodge the chance of fighting against staleness he would be better off. I know he would be thankful. The same applies to Dempsey, if reports from Airport, telling of bis condition have not been exaggerated. Later in the week I will visit the camp of the champion. I have not seen him for several weeks and do not feel qualified to make a positive statement regarding Just where he stands physically at this writing. But from what I know of him. I believe that he capable of rounding into physical perfection as rapidly as Carpentier. As for that, they have been training about the same length of time. Carpentler has reached the proper pitch to fight at his top speed. His muscles are as supple and free as tho muscles of a tiger. They ripple under his skin and he dances about and hits with perfect freedom and poise, getting the maximum of power to his punches. Ills stomach muscles are tough and strong. There is no fat on him, inside or outside, as far as I can see. Georges hr.t. also reached the right pitch temperamentally. In my talks with him I have found him in the best of humor. He is a very likable chap, highly intelligent, with a keen sense of humor and with a very interesting character, all around. He has his mind made up regarding the sort of a battle he will have on his hands July 2. !'m sure of that. But, of course, he isn't telling his campaign plans. And he isn’t under estimating Jack Dempsey for a moment. When he crawls through the ropes at Jersey City lie will have everything to gain. If he wins he will vindicate the bright hopes of his many admirers, and he is confident of winning. Should he fall to win, yet make it a tough fight against the champion, he will be the gainer rather than the loser after all is said and done, and will wind up as popular as ever, even more so. Carpentier's fine physical condition Is a great credit to Manager Descamps and Trainer Gus Wilson. They have done wonders with him. They have proven to me that they know their business and when July 2 arrives they will have done their best. After the gong rings, of course, the burden will be entirely on Georges' shoulders. May the better man win. SOCIETY FINALLY CAPTURES GEORGES MANHASSET, L. 1., June 13—Greatly refreshed after two days complete rest, Georges Carpentler took up the training i grind again today. The 1 renchman looked and felt better for the lay-off. After a week end of leis- ; ure and lawn fetes he was due for some 1 strenuous work. There is no doubt but that It was a real rest for Georges.

ABOUT THAT BRENNAN FIGHT
By TAD. NEW YORK, June 13—The following is exactly what a prominent sporting man told the writer yesterday. This man has been in the sporting game for years, knew Dempsey before he was a champion and knows a conditioned and a “burnt out” athlete when he sees one. "Bill Brennan saved Jack Dempsey’s title," my friend said. “Dempsey didn't hold him up. Don’t let them tell you that. Jack Dempsey was off form that night and it’s lucky for him that Carpentier wasn't in the ring instead of the slow thinking, heavy-footed Brennan. I saw Jack Dempsey before he won his title, before he had money, and he was a rough fellow. The night he fought Brennan he was a wreck. "I saw him coming down the aisle to the ring that night, and he was green, not pale, but green. That stage stuff,

those big purses, those parties—that’s what set that fellow back. He was just a shell. Didn’t you notice them giving him strychnine tablets between rounds and rubbing him around his heart. Every one around me did. He was not trying himself out with Brennan. He was doing the beet he could. He just barely beat his man that night and I’ll tell you he got the scare of his life. He tried training for a fight on Broadway. No one has succeeded at that yet. “That Brennan fight scared Dempsey into real work. He's training now the way he should have done for Brennan. “I don’t think he’s right yet. It sets a fellow back quite a lot—that bright light training. “The luckiest thing that Kearns ever did was to make that match with Brennan. It just showed him how far back Dempsey had gone.”

Training Suddenly Suspended in Camp 4 of Champ Dempsey Cut Over Eye Forces Jack to Cancel All Activities for Time. By HENRY FARRELL, United Free* Sports Editor. ATLANTIC City, June 13.—A1l training activities for Jack Dempsey were suddenly suspended today on orders of Jack Kearns, his manager. No explanation was given for the sudden change in the champion’s program. Kearns announced that Dempsey would suspend even the light work which he had been Indulging in since reopening of the old wound over his eye forced him to abstain from boxing last week. Meantime the camp here will be closed to the public. Kearns intimated that Jack may do nothing more strenuous than take a long walk daily, before! Wednesday. J Cessation of training activities caused a stir on the board walk and there were! the usual crop of rumors set afloat! These centered around Jack's bad eye! the belief being that the injury is morel serious than Kearns and his trainers! will publicly admit. "It's a bad cut and he should allow it to heal, from the inside out," Kearns said. “What does two or three days* lay-off mean? All he requires is one week’s good work.” Dempsey put in a quiet Sunday. After a motor ride with Bader he visited the home of Johnny Clark, a lightweight of the ’9O s, who lives in Atlantic City. The Bull Won This War MADRID, June 13.—Ernesto Pastor, Mexican toreador, died Sunday as a result of the injuries suffered last Sunday in the bull ring here.
