WHO’LL UNSEAT JINX HOLDING INDIANS BACK?
Even Veteran Caret Is Beaten While Tribesmen Suffer in Throes of Slump.
IT’S BECOMING SERIOUS
Wanted: A Jinx chaser. At once. Call Washington Park. Hurry. Members of the Indianapolis team are still under the spell of that Invisible party that directs baseball slumps and they can't shake him off. If you know something, hurry and disclose it. That Mr. Jinx must be rooted out of the Tribe lot instantly or the Indians will be down shaking hands with the Columbus Senators shortly. The home boys suffered their fifth straight defeat yesterday when the Millers walked oft the field toting a 3 to 1 victory. Even the old masier. Pug Cavet, was beaten. Tribe drives went everywhere but the safe spots. Miller fielders thrust out gloves and nonchalantly pulled In everything the Indians sent off their bats. Two scratch hits represented the Tribe's blows for the afternoon off Rube Schauer. who nearly got away with a no-hit game. In fact he couid have beeu fiven the coveted honor and no one would ave whimoered. Coviugtou s hit was a drive to Third Baseman Conroy and it went as a hit because it took a bad hop and struck Conroy on the foot and bounded away. The other Tribe safety was bv Sicking and was a roller to Fisher that Eddie apparently had beaten. Schauer carried a few horseshoes with him at that, for on several occasions the Indians walloped the ball with might and main only to see it go straight at a Miller fielder. Russell lu right and Bandeau in left made spectacular catches on drives that started with all the Indications of going for extra bases. It was a bad day all around for the Indians, but they still have hopes of getting about twenty hits some day and
More Fun for Kids! Due to the fact that the kids of the city enjoyed themselves so much at Washington Park Monday when they were admitted to the game free. Vice President Smith of the Indian> today announced that the gates again would be thrown open to the boys of bchocl age tomorrow. Hereaiter every Monday and Thursday will be free days for the boys Os grade school age, not even war tax being charged. They will occupy the bleachers tomorrow the same os on Monday. About 500 of the little fans were on hand Monday and tills number Is expected to increase tomorrow. Tune up your luugs boys, and turn oat and root for the home team!
plenty of runs. When that happen*, Mr. Jinx no doubt will climb on the 1 tiacks of s rival ciub and then watch the j Indians smile! Today was another day and Manager Hendricks hoped to toss the sand on the ! track. Harry Weaver was the probable! pitching choice. Numerous fans are staying with the Hookers during their sinking spell and J they are out each day pulling for a re verse. Other fans somewhat dejected. but they'll recover instantly when the home boys tack up one on the right side of the ledger. - The New York Giants dropped six In a , row before they won yesterday, so It Is plainly seen that slumpitls happens to j the best of clubs, and that It’s only a matter of time until a team shakes It off.! Bill Sehirmer, Id fielder formerly with! the Ciccy Reds, was signed for the Tribe utility role yesterday. He worked out i before the game and performed in anappy Style. WASHINGTON PARR GOSSIP. It was only the second defeat charged , against Pug Cavet this seaeon. The southpaw had won eleven straight victories previous to yesterday and had twelve wins out of thirteen starts. In seven of the nine innings the Indians failed to reach first base. Only five j Tribesmen saw the Initial sack, two on scratch hits and three on walks. Schaner fanned five. Pitcher John Fenl Jones, who Is still bothered by a weak arm. says his salary wing is showing gradual Improvement. He pitched for a semi-pro team at Danv.’llo, 111., last Sunday and won, allowing five hits. The fans would like nothing better than to see Jones round into form and they'd soon make him forget the criticism he received In the spring if he could produce s victory. Jores was the Indians' leading hurler last year. Walter Rehg Is hitting the ball hard, but Is not getting the "breaks." The changed batting order seems to be carrying some reverse stuff. Sam Crave, New York sports writer, baa the following to say regarding the heavy hitting in the National League: “Any pitcher who has a change of pace has a chance to head off all the slugging that is now going on in the National Teague. A hurler who has no change of race, however, stands little chance to choke off the many batting rallies that are featuring most of the games. Whether the baseball that is being manufactured is more lively than we th:nk It is or not, the fact remains that there are many more home runs being made by mediocre hitters than ever before. "There Is no doubt that the present generation of fans have been educated ttp to the Babe Ruth style of long drives. They want to see swats sent over the fences. The era of the home run appeals to the present day fans. The days when small scores and pitchers* battles were popular have come and gone. “The hurrah punch now Is the circuit clout. They are the wallops that appeal most to the average baseball patron. The spectators are alwavg looking for the over-the-fence wallop and remain at the narks until the last lnnine, hoping for the iong drive that will change the whole complexion cf the contest “At a game on the Polo Grounds recently, which "the Giants won 5 to 3* not one of the 15,000 fans left the park until the end of the game. They remained, hoping to see a climax that would turn the whole complexion of the contest. And a home run might have done It. “Well, according to the writer's oolnlon anything that can hold the Interest of the public up to the very last minute is the biggest thing that will promote the Interest of baseball. “When the spectators' Interest Is continued up to the time the last man is pot out it is assured that the game is a contest. “That Is what baseball wants, what It needs. That makes baseball. Those one-sided games appeal to only the partisans who want to see their own team win as soon as possible." Winners at Ascot ASCOT HEATH, England, June 15. The Ascot stakes, of 2,000 sovereigns, over a course of two miles, wag won Tuesday by Sir H. Cunliffe-Owen's Snear Wort. J. Shepherd's King's Idler was second and W. M. G.

Illinois Ring Bill Suffers Blow When Gov . Small Rebels SPRINGFIELD. 111., June 15.—The proposed Illinois boxing bill Is in desperate straits. It is an cods on bet that it will not become a law. It Is doubtful If the agreed bill that the House passed last week will even get to a roil call in the Senate. Governor Small gave to certain Senare lenders Tuesday morning the strong Intimation that if the bill came to him he would veto It, but gave no reason for his apparently changed attitude on the measure. Administration leaders In the Senate ar once aet to work to atnve off any chance that the Senate would concur with the House In passing the bill along to the Governor. Careful check up of the Senators has indicated that, left to Itself, the Senate would pass the bill. With the weight of the administration thrown into the balance against passage.

The Sure Thing Guy PARIS, Jnne 15.—The old “snre tiling” confidence game, which vvus worked to death at Reno prior to tbe Jefferies-Johnson fight, reappeared in Paris recently. A slick looking Individual would begin conversation with strangers around the American bars and then confide he had just landed from the United States. “I’m on the inside. It’s a frame-up and 1 know positively who will be the winner,” says the snre thing bird. “I got every nickel I could beg, borrow, or steal on It, but It’s a cinch I want to get more down. Now, I won’t ask you for a sou, but If I tell you the winner will you put down a hundred francs for me aud pay me after you collect?” A good many tourists fell for this fellow, and It was only when Americans started comparing notes they discovered the fraud. Half of them hod been told that Carpentler was a sure winner and the other half that Dempsey was certain of victory. Thus he believed himself certain to collect from half the persons he tipped.
WHO’LL WIN?
CHICAGO, June 15.--Jtm O’Leary, famous sportsman: “Looks like Dempsey, but the other fellow has two good hands, two good legs and a good head Carpentler won't Let Dempsey hit him if he can help It and will make a running fight cif it, as Corbett did with Sullivan.

June 15.—“1 haven’t had a final understanding with any one regarding the referee of the big fight, but you can say for me that Dempsey and myself will have at least a word or two to say about the selection of the third man,” said Manager Jack Kearns today. “It looks like every one but the champion and I has taken a shot at naming the man who will officiate at Jersey City. Where do they get that stuff? We’ll have our candidate to place before the New Jersey boxing commission and Promoter Tex Rickard. I cannot name him now; it wouldn't be fair to the man I have In mind.

The manager of the champion admitted as much in an unguarded moment. And this, despite the fact that another has already announced himself as the winning candidate. The question of who will officiate when Dempsey and Carpentler get together probably will be decided tomorrow at a meeting scheduled for Jersey City, when the members of the New Jersey boxing commission, Promoter Tex Rickard and the managers of tbe rival fighters are to get together. Harry Ertle. who has the backing of New Jersey politicians, is the boxing commission’s candidate. Jlmy Dougherty or Jim Corbett hold the upper hand with Kearns and Dempsey. Bob Edgren Is favored by Descamps and Carpentier. And there you are.

NERVOUS WAYS USUALLY MEAN THEY’RE READY Corbett Says Good Fighters Always Are Temperamental When on Edge. CITES OWX EXPERIENCE BY JAMES J. CORBETT, Former World’* Heavyweight Champion, NEW YORK, June 15. —I’ve been hearing and reading quite w bite of comment about occasional displays of “nerves” by Georges Carpentier and Jack Dempsey. Like many others who are recording the progress of the rival, boxers in training, I have visited both camps, yet so far I have failed to notice anything uni usual in this way. From my own experience and from what I have observed in years of follox&i ing boxing I have never yet seen a to**, notch boxer who did not show a touch of temperament at times and I fall to sea why any particular importance should De attached to such a thine plodders not fc ’ USUALLY GOOD. If Dempsey were to plod along in his rifilu,, , r .? utlae i showing no more Individuality than a truck horse, or If Carpentler drifted along from day to day w.th never a flash of Impatience, taking everything as It came to him with the patience of a milch cow, there would be reason for comment. Something Would be wrong. Dempsey and Carpentler are both full of nerves. Certainly they are. If they were not they would not be where they are today. They are like thoroughbred race horses, dancing at the barrier and eager to tear into the stretch. The nervous energy that is In them, with their wonderfully muscled bodies to obey it? command, makes them great fighters. Babe Ruth, for instance, has nerves. Babe’s nervous temperament asserts itself at the moment be crashes Into s baseball for a home run. He Is keyed up. eye, mind and muscle working In perfect coordination as the pitch whizzes up tu the plate and in the Instant that determines whether he will swing on the pill or not hls nervous voltage is uppermost Nervous energy will be uppermost In both Dempsey and Carpentier July 2. After they have received final Instructions from the referee and go to their corners, back to back, to await the harsh clang of the gong, they will both ba a tingle of nerves. I’ve been tber* myself and I know. GEORGES PLACID AND IN SHAPE. My visits to Carpentler’* camp have been as pleasant and uneventful, In a way, as a visit to a quiet mill pond. Georges Is quiet, quick- wltted, fast to pick up the thread of a conversation and withal the very embodiment of pent-up energy, under control. But on the surface he Is as placid as Mirror Lake. That means he Is In condition —great condition. I have studied Dempsey more closely than I have the Frenchman, for I have. had more opportunities and it will notj surprise me to see Jack give more outward evidence of nerves on July 2 than his opponent. I say this simply because I believe Dempsey capable of being keyed up to a higher pitch than Carpentier. It means nothing aside from this, nothing In the way of unfavorable comment as applies to’the champion. Dempsey’s rushing style of fighting Is the best Indication in the world that he Is a veritable mine of nervous energy, the sort of nervous energy that predominates his cyclonic style of fighting. It Is that same sort of energy that givesta Carpentier his speed and lends the snap! to his great right hand. And no great fighter could be a great fighter without it. iCopyrlght, 1921—8 y International News Service.) SOX GET PITCHER.
