YELLS OF KIDS FAIL TO PULL TRIBE THROUGH Indians Bump Into More Bad Luck and Drop Fourth Straight. ( MORE GINGER NEEDED Still under the spell of that Invisible monkey, the old Jinx, the Indians suffered their fourth straight defeat Monday and the besting occurred before kids and regular customers. The Millers, under the management of the noted Pongo Joe CantiUon, made their first 19-21 visit to Washington Park, and when the pastimIng for the day ended they were on the long end of a 4 to 3 score, despite the fact that their starting pitcher failed to last the game out It was a case of the Indians getting men on bases, but not getting them around. Sterling Stryker did not pitch bad ball, but his mntes were not there with the old punch in the clinch. Grover Loudermllk, tall and speedy, opposed Sterling on the mound and the rangy boy had the Indians on his hip. Grover fanned six Tribesmen In the first three innings, and he still had enough left in the sixth to strike out Schreiber with the bases filled. It was “kids’ day” at the park and about 500 o the greats" were In the bleachers yelling their heads off for a Tribe victory. Through the courtesy of the Tribe club officials the boys were admitted f. m and to show that they appreciated the kindness of Owner Smith and company, the little fellows made plenty of noise. Their rooting got results In the seventh, when the Tribe scored three runs, but pull as they did the kids were unable to pull the Indians through to a victory. Jk)b Fisher was the hitting star of the day. the Miller second sacker getting a triple, double, single and sacrifice hit. His hits led to others also, for he scored three times. There was something strange in Fisher's actions, for during practice he appeared In a peeved spell, but his mad mood did not hinder his hitting. However, he passed up a chance for a triple play during the pastimiug by hesitating wheh a lucky liner to Shortstop Jennings cut the Indians down In the Bixth. The Indians are not showing the same brand of pepper they displayed earlier In the season and the calm attitude seems to be keeping them in a slump. The sitching5 itching has improved, but the hitting as slumped and the ginger jar with it. Pug Cavet, Tribe ace, was carded to pitch today's game and there was good reason to believe that the Indians would brace up and get somewhere behind the veteran. The Hoosiers have been going too well *tu let the monkey Jinx hang on ’em and the fans believe that by fighting hard a winning streak will be started. WASHINGTON' PARK NOTES. Every team must suffer through ■ slump at some time during a season and ; the Indians right now are In the midst t of the dumps. Tha home boya got six hits and six j bases on balls, but failed to win. Sure enough something wrong there. Smallwood took up the pitching for the Millers In the eighth and finished out j the pastime in effective style. Bill Me- , Kechnie, former Indianapolis Federal, j batted for Loudermllk in the eighth. Bill 1 has taken on weight since he used to ! shine for the Hooreds. Covington got two of the Tribe's six hits. Big Tex seems to be. out of his slump. Hank Schreiber has fallen in one, however, and his hits are missed. It was a defeat, but it must be said that the Indians did not have one bit of luck to help them. With Dixon on second in the third Innings Rehg hit one looked good for three bases. Reb Russell backed up to the fence In right field, however, and speared the ball. It was a great dhtch, but a sad one for the home fans. Two hits and two walks failed to get any runs In the sixth. Morrison and Covington singled and Baird walked, filling the bases. Kinsella eonected with the ball properly, but It went directly Into the glove of Shortstop Jennings and it was an easy manner for Jennings to to*3 to Fisher for a double play on the f'ov- ; lngton. The Millers really had a chance for triple play, but passed It up when Fisher hesitated In throwing to first. Henri Rondeau, popular left fielder of the Millers, Is still a capable performer. He broke a leg In a game here last season, but apparently tne Injury failed to slow him up. In the benefit game played at Loulsvill eyesterday to aid the family of the late Umpire Louis Knapp, Shlnners and Bartlett of the Indians starred. Bartlett pitched the last three Innings and got credit for the game, while Shinners starred In the field. The All-Stars defeated the Colonels 5 to 4. Butler -got three hits. The sum of $1.0&5.10 was earned for Mrs. Knqpp and two children. Seventeen players -were used In the AllStar line-np in order to give the fans a look at as many possible. The following men were used: Wickland, Duncan, Butler, Whelan, Figgert, Brief. McMenemy, SLluners. Bralnerd, McCarthy, Pechons, Boone, Meyer. Allen, Robertson, Northrop and Bartlett.

FRENCHIE BOOSTS CAMP GUARD AND SOCKS THREE PARTNERS
By Sid Mercer. MANHASSET, L. 1., June 14.—They tripled the police guard down on the old Matthews farm yesterday and still couldn't Insure complete privacy for Georges Carpentler. It was "expert day” at the old homestead and more than a hundred real and bogus scribes crashed the front gate. Detours by way of the meadow were strictly prohibited. The property “bull, which formerly frightened away trespassers, was tethered in the orchard yesterday. They put him behind the bars and in liis place two minions of the law patrolled the open fields of the stockade where Georges entertains callers. The first thing that struck visitors yesterday was the martial air of the camp. Two State troopers, resplendent In drab uniforms, belts bristling with cartridges and guns on the hip, leaned on the old front gate while their mountc grazed by the roadside. The gate was padlocked and swung open only when the proper credentials were presented. It was Chicago day at Carpcntler's Long Island chateau. And those Chicago boys certainly stand well with Georges, for he boxed five fast rounds with three sparring partneis and got up a good sweat —which is something more than he

Stars May Twinkle
CHICAGO, June 14.—The South Side Stars may continue to twinkle, the city council has decided. A resolution to withdraw the license of White City, an amusement park if the company permitted the “stars,” composed of th Indicted members of the Chicago White Sox, to play professional ball ther4i, baa been aide-tracked in the eouncfi
did for the strictly New York press delegation last Thursday. Charley White, Chicago lightweight, was also a member of the Curley party of tourists. White Is visiting New York on his honeymoon. "The boy Is clever,” he said after the show, “but I don't see how he can upset Dempsey. He's a good little man, cut Jack is a good big man.” Marcel Denys, a welterweight, was the French challenger's first opponent. Denys, of course, was no match for Georges in hitting power, but he took some good wallops and got home a few returns. Toward the close of the first round Carpentler came out of a crouch and planted one of his leaping lefts on Marcel's neck. Marcel wavered, but did not fall. However, he had enough In one round. Paul Journee, the 240-pounder, mixed it right merrily with Carpentier for two rounds He did not pull his punches. Many found a mark, but at no time was Georges annoyed. He gave Journee a good pasting and at times when the pace was too fast for the big fellow he fell back and allowed Journe* to lead, contenting himself with slipping the blows or catching them on his gloves. Italian Joe Gens was the third victim.

By NEWTON C. IWRKE, International News Staff Correspondent. PARIS, June 14.—Georges Carpentler, as the world well knows, makes his home In Paris, where he Is well liked, respected as a sportsman, etc., etc. But there probably Is no harder town In the world wherein the eager Dempsey fan can find Carpentier money. If you want to bet a silk shirt, a bottle of good champagne, a pair of women's stockings or a breezy bit of silky lingerie for a Parisian beauty on Dempsey's chances, Carpentier’s rooters are right there. But at this stage of the game—let's concede that It may change later—there little chance of getting down any substantial money on Dempsey. Freak beta are numerous. Fx-King Manuel of Portugal, for Instance, 1* backing Carpentler. He Is said to have risked at least a dozen cigarette cases on Georges.

JACK ALSO IS CHAMPION OF CAMP CARD HUSTLERS
BY JACK MCAULIFFE, Retired Undefeated Lightweight Champion. ATLANTIC. CITY, N. J„ June 14. There's no doubt that Jack Dempsey Is a champion with a deck of cards. I helped him remove a couple of hours from his schedule with a game of pinochle today, and he surely took me. I was lucky to get away with my clothes. I had a good chance though, to get a line on Dempsey's condition and temperament. He’s In perfect shape and there Isnt the slightest sympton of nervousness about him. Jack Kearns today told me that Dempsey weighed 192 pounds, but he looked a little heavier to me. His face Is full nnd lie’s carrying some extra weight around Ms hips. The cut over his eye doesn’t look so Bcrious as most people seem to believe It is. It is healing rapidly, as It Is not on the bone. Dempsey surprises me with hie boyishness. He had just the right disposition to carry him through the hard days ahead. He will talk anything but fight. Loafing on the steps of his house today, .Tack watched his sparring partners, M.irty Burke, Jack Renault and Harry V> illiams, dotted to the limit of the style
BAT PICKS DEMPSEY. NEW YORK, June 14.—Jack Dempsey should win the big battle in at least eight rounds. I pick him as the winner because he is bigger, stronger, heavier than the Frenchman and he hits harder," says Battling Levtnsky. "Although Dempsey should win, be will have to get himself Into perfect condition to do it, because Carpentier Is very fast and clever. Aud It is a mistake to think that Carpentier hasn't a powerful punch. He hits hard enough to win even from Dempsey in one blow If he lands it right. Therefore Dempsey will have to be at his best and will have to be very ca re f ul.” WILLIE BOOSTS JACK. CLEVELAND, June 14.—Willie Meehan, pugilistic hero of many bouts, who has fought six times with Champion Jack Dempsey, returned the winner twice, getting niree draws and losing once, says Jack will win not later thau the fourth round, when he meets Georges Carpentier on July 2. "Nothing to it but Dempsey, taie It from me.” he said here today. Meehan Is h<-re to box twelve round* with Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul on June 22.

GEORGES GIVES UP HIS VIEWS ON FIGHT ODDS Points to Records of Great Battles Won by Smaller Men. By JAMES J. CORBETT, Former World’s Heavyweight Champion. -MANHASSET, L. 1., June 14— I motored over to Georges Carpentier's camp last night from my home in Bayside, Just a few miles away, to sav hello and chat with him about the big fight, I found the French champion and several of his camp mates enjoying the cool of the evening on the front porch at Matthews farm, apparently as cool and free as though the match with Dempsey had not been made. Yet. I also tound i rt-erges full of quick interest and seemingly eager to talk of the coming scrap. riie general conversation urn ted to his chances of winning from Dempsey. He 6aid; ‘‘What do you think of the betting on the fight, Mr. Corbett?” "Well,” I replied, "it s 2 to 1 or better in Dempsey’s favor now, according to wha I hear.” “But surely," he came back. "h.tat can make no difference in the fight Itself. The odds can have nothing to do with what Dempsey or I will show In the ring.” I agreed with him that the odds should have no effect on the fight provided the fighters themselves refused to consider them one way or another. “I have Investigated the records of heavyweight championships of the past,” Carpentier continued. "I find that about eight out of ten favorites have been beaten. Your fight with Sullivan was one instance. What were the odds against you?” “Sullivan was a 5-to-l favorite over me. Georges," I said. "And I can remember as though It were yesterday how many an onlooker at my training camp said with a convincing nod of the head that ‘John L.’ would annihilate me.” "And you In turn were the favorite over Fitzsimmons?” “That's right,” I answered. "And Fitz in his turn was favorite over Jeffries and Johnson was the favorite over Willard at least up to the last few hours before the fight, after most of the big bets had been placed?” "There is one outstanding instance where the challenger went into the ring the favorite,” Georges said, “and that was in the Toledo fight when Dempsey was generally picked to defeat Willard?” "That was one big instance,” I answered. ‘Of course, there have been other cases, but they are not worth while recalling.” “Do you know," Carpentler said with a smile. “I wish Dempsey was a 5 to 1 ‘avorite. My friends would get better odds. I would like to see them get all 'hey can. The fact that Dempsey is favorite makes no difference to me. If 1 was favored to win it would be the ■same. The fight is the fight and the best man will win it, rpgardless of tha ulds. The fact that I am smaller than the champion is not worrying me. Smaller men have won Just as often as the large rones. Am I not right?” “That's quite true,” said I, "I was smaller than Sullivan.” "And Fitz, he was smaller than you?” "Yes, and Dempsey was smaller, much smaller, than Willard.” "Then it is. what you call history,” Georges continued, "that size does not mean everything."
