SENATORS NEXT TEAM TO SHOW AT TRIBE LOT Rowland’s Boys to Make Appearance After Miller Wind-up Today. TRIBE DROPS LONG ONE
Fallowing the series wind-up game with the Millers this afternoon local fans will get thely second 1021 glimpse of the Columbus Senators when Clarence Howland bring* his Buckeye boys to Washington Park tomorrow to remain the week out and also ml* in a double header with the Indians Sunday. The Rowlandites are the present occupants of the A. A. cellar berth, but they have not lost hopes by any means and probably will give the Indians the same terrific opposition they offered on their first appearance here In April. Clint Rogge was slated to do the Tribe hurling In the curtain game with the Millers today and royal Indian supporters were predicting that tne oig fellow would come through. He was overanxious when he faced the Saints last Sunday and couldn't find his steady ways, but this afternoon he vas expected to display some of his former curves and speed. The Indians nearly came out of their slump yesterday when they chased the Millers ‘fourteen innings before succumbing to a heavier hitting attack. The score was 8 to 2, the Millers getting five runs in the fourteenth frame. From the third inning until the fourteenth the visitors did not score and the game fairly sparkled with brilliant fielding. By scoring twice in the ninth the Indians set the fans wild, for it seemed that the slump was over at last, but the Hendricksmen simply could not get that needed run over. _ It was the sixth straight defeat suffered bT the home bovs. The Indians leaped around like schoolboys yesterday when Shlnners tied the score in the ninth with a triple, but instantly the Tribe batters fell back into. their hitting slump and their finish came when the Millers bombfrded Petty with base hits in the fourteenth. . . . In the very first frame the jinr started working again on the Indians when Covington crashed the ball only to hit into • double play. The drive was a “regular" drive, but Pitcher Bill James took a chance, thrust out his glove and the ball stuck. He pegged it to first for a double killing and tne Tribe's nice start was ruined. Sparkling fielding plays were made by ! Sicking. Fisher, Wade. Russell and Shlnners. Russell even knocked himself out j cnce when he crashed into the right field bleacher fence in chasing a foul from ' Schreiber. But the crash didn't prevent Russell from clinging to the ball and of ; course that hurt the Tribe's chances i again. Weaver and James were the opposing ; pitchers when the game started and they j finished even, the Tribe's hurler retiring ! for a pinch hitter in the ninth and James going out to make room for Smallwood when the Indiana knotted the score la the ninth. WASHINGTON PARK GOSSII*. Henri Rondeau certainly covers wide territory in left field for the Millers. The fans witnessed a good ball game, even through the home team lost. Itehg’s error was on a long fly driven out by Mayer In the scond inning. It : appeared as though Waiter could have . used two hands, but preferred using one. Mayer did not get any safeties until the thirteenth and fourteenth Innings. His hit in the last frame was a scratch through Schreiber. Second Baseman Fisher has been going big with the bat in this series. He has been prominentliy connected with nearly all Miller rallies. Morrison made a great sprint from first to home when he scored on Sbinner's drive In the ninth. Morrison was slated to perform In right field this afternoon in place of Ktnseila. Tribe players are taking the criticisms hisrW from the stands too seriously. The i •nvll chorus is not made up of the real fans, but of that type that always strings with the winner and howls at the loser In order to make him go deeper into rut:' If the Indians would stuff their ears to the shouts of the anvil brigade they would get along better. The knockers always are in the minority and the Tribesmen can rest assured that they will bear plenty of shouts of approval when they finally emerge from the slump. Being able to stand the gaff is part of the business of a professional athlete. Many fans and big league scribes had Babe Ruth on the pan this spring because of bis surplus weight, but look at the Babe now! He was deaf to the anvil chorus and soon had the voices of the knockers drowned out.

RING LEADERS MEET TO PICK TITLE REFEREE Rickard Urges Jersey Boxing Commission to Select Man Known Internationally. JERSEY CITY, June 16.—One of the preliminaries to the Dempsey-Carpentier fight was being fought here today. It was the usual squabble over a referee. The New Jersey boxing commission, which has sole poyver to name the snoti who will enter the ring on July 2, with Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier, met at its offices here. Promoter Tex Rickard was to.be present himself and, in an ex-officio way to represent Managers Deseamps and Kearns. The commission is reported to have favored Harry Ertle, native of New Jersey Ertie’s name did not figure iu the list of possible referees named when Rickard got the fighters together. Rickard's job is to convince the commission that the best, interests of the game and of this particular fight will be served If a referee of natioual or international reputation is chosen to keep himself between the spectators and the fighters. The five men named as possibilities when the articles were drafted were: Jim Dougherty, Robert Edgren. Jim Corbett. Jim Jeffries and Bill Brown. With the announcement today that the monster arena for the title fight is to be completed early next week, Jersey City began to awaken to the near approach of the biggest sporting event iu her history. Jersey City is facing a big problgm of feeding and housing thousands of visitors July 1 and 2, and as she boasts limited hotel facilities, it is a certainty that many thousands of fight fans will have to sleep in Pullman curs or find hotel accommodations in New York. Newark or some of the smaller towns around the Metropolis. The Jersey City Chamber of Commerce announced today that it will do everything it can to cooperate with those who will have rooms for rpnt during the week of the big fight Everything at the com maud of the city will be done to make the stay of the visitor* as pleasant ns possible, for Jersey City wants to get all of the advertising she can out of the “battle of the century.” The biggest problem of all will lie how to feed the thousands who will expect to get at least one meal in this man’s town July 2. The Chamber of Commerce also hopes to curb profiteering in food and, other necessities to the visitor. And it’s a big Job.

Every detail of the dial leuger's training was filmed by the earn era men who went to Sherry Park with Georges at 7 o’clock. The private work-outs on closed days this week have shown him at his best. Carpentier displays a peculiar ten-pera ment In this matter of private work out. Although on most occasions he iikfs the limelight, he likes to do his serious .raining undisturbed.

CHALLENGER AND CHAMP LIKE TO MIX FUN WITH TRAINING
By TAD. NEW YORK, June 10.—What a difference there is in the training camps of Dempsey and Carpentier, compared to other iiig fellows. Carpentier probably Is the happiest heavyweight contender we've had the pleasure of watching. He's forever laughing, playing tricks on his mates and telling jokes. He’s playing leap-frog, fooling with the kids and tossing an occasional sweet glance toward some good-looking girl who happens ,to be looking on. There's nothing on his mind but his hat. He loves his work because it’s play to him. Dempsey is nothing but a big boy around a training camp. He’s picking on someone around the breakast table in a joking manner or putting salt in the trainer's coffee. He usually has a dog or some other animal for a pet and teaches it tricks. 'Ptatning for Willard at Toledo was a picnic for Jack. There, on the hot sands of Maumee Bay In the afternoon, he had

four little kids, perhaps 5 years old. One was a little girl, with blonde curls and she was his particular pet. He was her “feller.” She cut off a curl for the sun-bronzed Dempsey and he carried It with him all the time. He played jealous of her and she liked it. When Jack Kearns had extra company at the training table Dempsey delighted in helping to serve the guests. That was his dish. What a difference from other big fellows in training. Although quite affable and polite, Willard went through his stunts like a trained elephant. He had his stunt to do and did it, seldom speaking to any one. He came in alone and left the ring alone. Jim Jeffries was a tough man, too; one to whom yfttt fee] like saying mister. Jeffries was very* business-like in his training. He seldom looked aside. There was a deadly silence around Jeff's camp. Jim Corbett was a hard man In a training camn He was all business. , was little fun.
Can’t Criticise Kearns for Wanting Something to Say About Referee
By JACK McAULIFFE, ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. June 6—lt’s nothing nnugual—this squabbling over a referee for a heavyweight match. 1 don’t blame Jack Kearns for wanting to have something to say about the official. He’s putting a lot Into the hands of one man. Any number of things could happen that might cause an inexperienced refer ee to lose his head. Fouls figure frequently in Carpentier's record. If the Frenchman should claim e foul, if he should hit Dempsey low or if .Descamps should Jump into the ring, as he has done in other contests, -it would take u cool man to handle the situation. The French fighter hasn't as much at stake as the champion and he can afford to affect a nonchalant air. Descamps told me he would accept any referee because he knew the promoter and the Jersey commission would not pick an official who would not give Carpentier a square deal.

JACK REACHES TOLEDO SHAPE, CORBETT SAYS Jim Believes Champ Could Scramble Through Ropes for Big Fight Tomorrow. By JAMES J. CORBETT, Former World’s Heavyweight Champion. ATLANTIC CITY, June 16.—When Jack Dempsey trained for Jess Willard, at Toledo, I watched the progress of his work, and I can say today that he looks to be in as fine conditionnow as be was in 1919. Dempsey Is almost as finely drawn already as a thoroghbred race horse to {face the barrier. He could hop into the ring with Carpentier tomorrow if necessary. In fact he has reached the point near his top form a bit too soon for his own benefit, and will have to exercise exI treme care to avoid overtraining. I The decision of Manager Kearns to 1 give the champion several days rest was i certainly a wls,one, and during the next i week or ten days, according to Kearns, Jack will take an occasional layoff, doing only the lightest kind of road work or maybe playing a ball game. Despite the fact that both challenger and chnmpion have practically reached top form "this early, I do not look for any harmful results. Jack Kearns is a very keen judge of condition and particularly Dempsey’s. He knows every whim and every move of j the champion and he is the one man with 'the possible exception of Teddy Haynes, Dempsey's constant companion, whom the champion can’t fool into believing he is feeling'like a colt If he isn’t. Descamps and Gus Wilson are just as well posted regarding Carpentier's moods. If anything, they are more attentive to him than Dempsey's trainers, but Carpentier demands that sort of thing. He is in the habit of being waited on at everv turn, whereas Dempsey, who got used" to shuffling for himself a good many years ago, knows how to help himself, and does. Dempsey today Is a bundle of steel springs.
