THREE GAMES ON WEEK-END HOOSIER CARD Single Contest Today and Twin Bill Tomorrow at Washington Park. DANFORTH BEATS US With three games scheduled over the week-end the Indians have high hopes of treating the fans to a series of victories at the expense of the Columbus Senators. A single game today and a double header Sunday complete the series with clarence Rowland's boys and, with Dandy Dave Danforth out of the way, mere is uo reason why the Hoosiers should not make it three wins before Monday makes its appearance. The Toledo Hens will be here Monday to take a whirl at the Hendricksmen anu it behooves the locals to cop this Senator series if they are to prevent themselves slipping into seventh place, where the Hens now hold forth a few games ahead of the last-place Columbus team. The Indians were not up to form yesterday and the Senators gallope t away with a 7 to 2 win as a result of good pitching by Danforth and poor support by the Tribe defense behind Sterling Stryker. ... At the outset of the game Stryker bid fair to give Danforth. the Senator ace, stiff opposition, but as the game grew old Stryker's support gave way and the visitors were enabled to break through. Somewhat discouraged over the poor support given him, Stryker then faded in the ninth and the Columbns athletes pounded the ball for four runs and an easy-vic-tolanforth was slightly wild and it seemed that the Indians had a splendid chance of knocking him for a goal. However. he refused to crack and with a few “breaks" in ms favor he withstood everything the Hendriekmen launched. The Tribe apparently felt too good ever their success in getting out of the slump the dav previous, for thev were off color at the bat. in the field and on the baes. It was Just one of those days when things go wrong. Cavet was slated to pitch for the Indians this afternoon and the tall flinger was more than eager to step out and put the home boys on the right track. The Indians usually do better behind Cavet and there was every reason to believe that the Hoosiers would put one over today. T Despite the recent reverses of the Indians there are indications that the double-header Sunday will be well attended The majority of fans understand that all teams must suffer through slumps at some stage of the season and they are predicting that the Indians soon will be back in first division stride. The first game tomorrow will be called at 2 o'clock. WASHINGTON' PARK GOSSIP. Brained got four hits for the Senators yesterday. He's a dangerous man in tne pinch. The first two Columbus runs were unearned. two errors behind Stryker paving the way. l*o Dion made the greatest catch on a foul flv seen at Washington Park for several seasons It wss on Herzog in the seventh and Leo had to fight the roof of the Tribe dugout in order to make the play. Two of the Indian errors were on f round balls in the outfield, one by _hinners and one by Rehg. Shinners got a couple of more stolen bases. Schreiber completely fooled the Senator* with his delayed steal in the second frame. fielders on both teams had trouble with the sun and the short * f ops were sent out to field the balls hit to abort left. It didn't work very well. Th-re wss bsd running as well as good work on the paths. I'mplre Finneran kept his eyes peeled on Danforth'* offerings and Dandy Date did not resort to his "cheater.'’ grout Joe Keliey of the New York Yankees was still In the city yesterday and attended the came. He apparently is interested in Tribe, talent for he ha* been here for three series.

July 2. favors the selection of Jameg J. Jeffries, former world's champion, as referee of the championship contest. Edgren made this announcement after another conference with Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey, on the referee situation, over which there is a controversy because of the desire of the New Jersey boxing commission to appoint a New Jersey referee as the third man In the ring. Kearns Is opposed to the selection of Harry Ertle. city marshal of Jersey City, who is unofficially said to be the chftlce of the commission. “If the referee finally is left to me for selection. I sha? l recommend the choice of Jeffries." Eugren said. “H, has an unimpeachable reputation for honesty, he knows the game, and has a world wide reputation as a former champion. “When the Carpentier-Dempsey match was first made I was the choice of the principals as referee. But I am willing to atep aside in favor of Jeffries or any one else if the situation can be adjusted." French Net Team PARIS, June IS—Andre Gobert. W. H. Daurentx. Jean Samazeullh, J.

CREAM OF THE LAND CONTESTS TRACK HONORS

World’s Titleholders Defend Laurels in Collegiate Meet at Chicago. HOOSIERS PLACE BIDS CHICAGO, June 18—America’s best athletes from seventy-one universities and colleges competed in the first annual national intercollegiate track and field games on Stagg field today. With the track In good condition records were expected to fall. Forty-one sprinters faced the starter in the 100 yard dash. A majority of the men have stepped the distance in even time, or better. The century should be a thrilling race between Hayeß of Notre Dame .uu Lindsay of Rice Institute of Texas, who have covered the course in 9 3-5 seebne's. Earl Eby -of Pennsylvania, crnck mid-dle-distance runner, took part in the half-mile, and said it was nis last race. Earl Thomson of (Dartmouth, holder of the world's record for the 120 yard high hurdles at 14 2-5 seconds, was expected to win the the event in easy fashion. Thomson also was scheduled to participate in the 220 yard low hurdles against Desch of Notre Dame, world's record holder. Brutus Hamilton of Missouri, national pentathlon and decathlon champion, who accompanied the American Olympic team to Antwerp last year, was to make a strong bid for individual honors. Hamilton was entered in five events. Gardner of Yale and Merrick of Wisconsin were to fight it out in the polevault. Gardner tied for first place in the pole-vault in the eastern intercollegiate meet and Merrick won the event in the “Big Ten” classic. The feature of the meet today was the participation of the Buker twinß from Bates College. Both have made good showings In every contest in the East this year. Illinois was represented ly eleven of her best athletes, and dopesters predicted the lllini would cop the meet. Class A-Plenty for Fans at Big Court Event at Woodstock Afternoon Tea and Other Extra Features Planned at Western Title Meet. By CHARLIE LOGAN. And furthermore, they're golu’ to serve tea! Yes sir, besides having an entry list including some of the country s best players, and a program that will attract tennis fans throughout this section of the luited States, the officials of the Western Tennis Championships, carded on the Woodstock courts during the week of July 11, are planning to go over big in the social line, with box -lartiea and “social teas" as a brace of big “sideline features.'' Standing by itself, the Western championship affair is one of the biggest tennis tourneys in the country, or has been in the past, it always draws the ! heavy entries and the court scraps are always worth while. But this is Indi unapolts’ first crack at the event, and the officers of the lutlianapolis Associated Tennis Clubs ire plauuing to deliver a | real for sure K. O. That's how It comes that they ring In i the tea parties and other social affairs. IDEAL PL M E I OR NET 1 VENT.

To Ktart with, tho Woodstock grounds are an ideal place for a real tennis party. The clubhouse is an ideal place to stage an entertainment for the visiting play* and fans, anu local tenuis l ousters are going to make the best of it. This Is not going to be a tournament for stars ouly. It is the plan of the tourney supporters to line up the "social players" as well as the champions and near champions. If they can put this new angle jver lti big league atyle, then Indianapolis will have started something new iu the net line. An honest-to goodness entertainment committee I<U oeen given the task of arranging s.i elaborate program to keep the players and fan* busy when there is nothing doing on the -ourts. There will be evening entertainments, such as dances, music and vaudeville stunt*, and everybody is going to enjoy every minute spent on the grounds. The officials are also drumming around for all sorts of entertainment, such as the aforementioned box parties and teas, to offer the fans when play is in progress. indications are that the entry list to this year * Western meet will be just as classy, as far as the enrollment of star talent is concerned, as any other ever staged. The tournament officials lire lu communication with ranking players throughout the country, and are contl dent that they will line up an nrray of stars that will make other cities pull the "how do they do It” Btuff. WESTERN CHAMP TO PLAY HERE. William T. Hayes, Chicago, ranking twentieth in the national rating, and twice winner of the Western title, lias already filed his entry for the tournament. Hayes - won the tourney last year, and, therefore, will meet this year's winner in the challenge round, In the event he is defeated in the tourney play. A victory this year will give Hayes permanent possession of the Western tennis championship trophy, one of the most prized awards in the net game Hayes has also sent word that he will bring at least four other Chicago starlights here with him for the tourney. Reid and Caran, Cleveland city doubles champions, are coming for the big show. They will team in the doubles and go out after the singles title. This puir is said to be one of the best in the country. Johnny Hennessey, the greatest player ever produced in Indiana, will also be among tl ose bidding for the singles title. Johnny has a raft of admirers who can't see him anywhere but on the victory side of the ledger. In the double* Heunessey will team with Burdick, formerly of Chicago, and one time winner of the Western doulles. Hennessey and Buriiic*t have been working together on local courts every day and, so fnr, nothing has shown in the ranks of local talent to give them a real run for their money. So, it looks like Indianapolis has more than half a chance of boasting the Western single* and doubles championships. The six courts at Woodstock have been resurfaced for the Western play, and two entirely new “championship courts" are being built for the big fireworks. Carpenters are also at work on a large grandstand to take care of the crowd of fans who surely will turn out for the matcl es. It was announced today that the tournament committee is pulling every string to Induce the traction companies to run special interurbans to and from Woodstock during tournament week.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JUNE 18,1921.

DEMPSEY’S CAMP MATES AND TRAINING STYLE ARE PREFERRED

By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK. June IS.—Which of the rival fighters—Dempsey or Carpentier— Is getting the greatest benefit out of his sparring partners? Since the champion and challenger started training this question has been discussed pro and con, but as Carpenter's work has been done mostly in private, it has not been answered with any •legr>e of certainty. Carpentier appears to be in very fine condition. The same may be said of Dempsey. But an athlete may look physically fit for battle and still lack the toughness he will need in the ring, and this is the business of his sparring mates. A comparison of the men who are assisting Jack and Georges to round Into shape apparently shows a balance in favor of the champion. Dempsey has four big fellows —rough and ready mixers, Burke, Ghee, Renault arid Williams. He has Irish Patsy Cline and Joe Benjamin to help him develop speed. And Jack Kearns is constantly on the lookout for tough, big fellows to work with him. Carpentier started with Jeanette, Jour-

Captained ty Devereaux Mllhurn, one of the greatest backs in the history of international polu, the Americans swept their opponents down to defeat with a brilliant crowd looking on. King George and members of the royal family, the King and Queen of Spain and scores of members of the nobility were numbered in the great assemblage that witnessed the match. The teams will rest up until next Wednesday, when the second match Is scheduled Should the Americans win it. they will recover the historic cup, as the competition is for the best two in three matches. The score by periods (chukkers) today: Americans 212 022 20—11 British 012 100 00— t Goals—Stoddard 2. Hitchcock 4. Webb 4, Miiburn 1; Tompkinson 3. Barrett 1. The Americans swept the Britishers off their feet in the first chukker. The British were on the defensive throughout, with the Americans pressing continually. The British hit their stride with the start of the second period, however. The riding of both quartettes was furious Both sides threatened, but each broke through but once The. same terrific pace was maintained In the third chukker, each team scoring two goals. The defense of both was slightiv lax, due to the hard riding on both sides The fourth chukker score was: America. 0; England, 1. The tide began to turn In the fourth ehvkker. The Englishmen showed more dash than In any other period and only superb defensive work by the American* kept the score down The Bcore for the fifth chukker was: America, 2; England, 0. making the total; America, 7; Eng land, 4. After the British spurt In the fourth period the Americans again assumed the aggressive Iri the fifth and by furious riding and brilliant individual pla.v swept their opponents back and scored two goals. (Yipt. Devereaux Miiburn of the American team made his first goal in the fifth chukker. Hitchcock accounted for the other American score. In the sixth chukker America again scored twice while England failed to score. The American goals were made by Stoddard and Webb. Bright sunshine greeted the crowds that began arriving early to witness the first polo trophy match since I‘Jl4. The field was hard and dry. Captain Miiburn, who Is regarded as the world's greatest back, was the center of interest. The polo rotnmiasionaire dropped dead In the grandstand Just before the arrival of the King and his party. The news was kept quiet. The arrival of the King was the signal for the playing of the British national anthem, followed by the StarSpangled Haulier. The line ups of the rival fours were ns follows; AMERICANS. Position L. E. Stoddard Number 1 Thomas Hitchcock Number 2 ,1. Watson Webb Number 3 Devereaux Miiburn Back BRITISH. Lieutenant-Colonel Tomklnson .Number 1 Major Barrett Number 2 Lord Wodeliouae Number 3 Major Lockett Back The overwhelming defeat of the British team came as a distinct surprise to the thousands who witnessed the match.' The challengers swept the defenders off their feet from the start uud acquired a lead which was never overcome. The Americans Individually and ns a team, outrode their opponents. Devereaux Miiburn, captain of the American team whose physicians permitted him to play only at the last moment because of his injured back gave an exhibition of riding that was equalled only by that of J. Watson, playing No. 3. Thomas Hitchcock, No. 2, was deadly In wielding the mallet, he and Webb scoring four each of Americas eleven goals. Major Vivian Lockett, the British captain, playing back and Lord Wodehouse No. 3, starred for the British. Lieut. Col. H A. Tomskins on the English No. 1, displayed very weak hitting at times.

Crack Speed Pilots Shoot at Uniontown Trophy Race Prize UNIONTOWN. Pa., June 18—Twelve of the country’s most daring auto drivers today had their mounts tuned for the 220-inlle grind on the local track. Today's race is for the Universal trophy, twice won by Tommy Milton. The drivers entered were Eddie Ilearne. Tommy Milton, Jimmy Murphy, Eddie Miller, Eddie Pullen, lloseoe Sarleg, Itulph Mulford, Ira Vail, Jules Ellingboe, Jerry Wonderlleh, Johnny Soules and Tom Alley. Barney Oldfield, former king of the drivers, was to act as official pacemaker and lead the speedsters as they started on their long grind. His One-Two Left BY JACK McAULIFFE, ATLANTIC (ITT, Jane 18. —Jack Dempsey's right hand was his greatest weapon at Toledo—now his left is the best. I heard a lot about the improvement In his left hand, but I got the first proof of It yesterday when lie whs sparring with Battling Ghee, the colored boy. Ills left Is not only the best, hot he has perfected the greatest of all punches, the one-two left of the original Jack Dempsey. It is the greatest blow of the ring, because there Is no defense against It. Against Ghee several times he shot In a terrific short left to the body and then to the Jaw. Twice he had Ghee out with that punch and had him a sure victim—but he held it back. If Dempsey gets an opening for thnt left In the first round and gets It over with a right cross, the Frenchman will go down and stay down. VET HORSEMAN DEAD. NEW YORK, June 18.—Manley E. Sturges, a prominent horseman and at one time of Dan Patch, a famous iacer, died iMiday at his home in fonkO'n In wr

nee, Marcot and Italian Joe Gans. This quartet is still holding sway at Manhas set and we have heard SOS calls for more men. Cans ranks with Benjamin and Cline in usefulness. Marcot is just a human punching bag—a mere toy in Georges’ clever hands. So this leaves Jeanette and .Tournee as the men who are really being depended upon to whip the Frenchman into shape for the battle of his life. Are they capable of doing it? Jeanette is pretty fat and he is a veteran. He can still move around, however, and he is clever and can hit. Withal, he is a valuable man. Journee is plenty big enough. He weighs about 215 pounds. He can, or should be capable of hitting a mighty hard punch and what he does in private with Georges 1s a secret. But the fact remains that he hasn't shown any-, thing startling In his public work-outs with Carpentier to date, though he seems to be willing enough. To a man up a tree, it appears that Dempsey’s sparring mates and his methods of tearing into them and permitting them to tear into him are superior to those of the challenger.

This Settles It PARIS, June 18. —Carpentier will defeat Dempsey. Dempsey, despite a very fine record which no one can deny, U not of the irreat line of fighters which produced Corbett, Fit ztd nun on a and Jeffries. The American will Rrive the French champion a terrific fight, but will be unable to score. All tills is the opinion expressed *by one of France's leading sport writers. Now you know !

Battling Ghee Gets Straightened Out in First Go With Jack Craves No More of That Dempsey Person After One Little Tilt. By SID MERCER. ATLANTIC CITY, June 18—Battling Ghee, a heavyweight person from Memphis, is satisfied that Champion Jack Dempsey "kin hit lak a mule kin kick." Following his first experience as a sparring partner of the champion Friday afternoon the Battler propped himself weakly in front of a mirror in the cottage of Dempsey's sparring partners and ruefully contemplated a recent extension of the right side of his mouth—a cut about three-quarters of an inch longlugged at a loose front tooth and gingerly fingered bis puffed brunette features. lils eyes had a far away look like those of a gent who lias attempted to negotiate too much high proof hootch. In fact, Mr Ghee wasn't altogether there. He was trying to pull himself together mentally and physically. lie had been monkeying with the Dempsey buzz saw. When he staggered out of the open air arena a flock of experts trailed him for an Interview. "Yo kain't believe nobody no more." complained Mr. Ghee. "Kid Norfolk dun tol’ me Mlstah Dempsey couldn't hit me But Ah knows bettah, man. Ah knows bettah; ain't lie just up an’ bust lue pretty ?" "You were too rough with him. Bat tier,” suggested a scribe. "Too rough." moaned the Battler. "Say ah was only In fun but Mlstah Dempsey he socked tne. If ah was too rough what would you call hi in." “You mustnt mind a little thing like that.” comforted a bystander. "Go right out there tomorrow and show us something. You know his style now." "Yes still, 1 know his style, all right," wailed the Battler. "But ah ain't got no call to get any better acquainted with it. Ah know Mlstah Dempsey's style and them ain’t uo kind of styles for colored men. Trouble Is, he knows where mah face Is." "Better luck tomorrow," came sympathetic suggestions. "You gave Jack the toughest argument he has had since he came down here " "Meblie they ain’t goln - to be no tomorrow for me,” warily replied the Battler. "Ah got uiah folks to look after. Mebbe I gave him tough argument, but look what he gives me. Ah kain't eat no pohk chops for mppah tonight.” Mr. Ghee may get over his experience with Dempsey but he will never be the same. He lias been hanging around for eight days waiting for the chance he got yesterday, and now he is satisfied. Jack Kearns hoped to get him to go on again today. It was rumored however, that a big dark man was seen moving off in the gl< om back of Airport last night muttering to UiutsiHf: 'That Kid Norfolk ain't no frlcn' o mine.” GEORGES HIDES WORK. MANHASSET, 1,. I , June IS.—For the first time in a week Georges Gar pettier indulged in what could really be called “secret training” today. Hu boxed in private with a barn, a canvass screen and half a dozen Manhattan constables p e t w(>C n him and the curious pnblie. Fortunately for them, two of Georges' favorite targets, Paul Journee and Italian Joe G.'ns had good excuses for not being hit too hard today. They each have a bout of their own Monday night and have finished their training. Carpentier take a great deal of Interest In trying *o develop the bulky Journee Into a first class heavyweight and gives him constant advice.

GUARDING EYE CHAMP’S ONLY PROBLEM LEFT

Corbett Says Dempsey Is All Set if He Can Protect Injured Optic. ONLY TWO WEEKS MORE By JAMES J. CORBETT. Former World's Heavyweight Champion. ATLANTIC CITY, June 18.-Jack Dempsey is taking gcod care of the eye that was Injured when Larry Williams accidentally butfed him about two weeks ago. ' The injured eye—his left one—has healed up nicely, but Is still tender and he cannot afford to take chances of reopening the cut, so his sparring partners have orders not to bounce any punches off the left side of his head. He wears a head gear and gauze to protect the eye. The champion cannot take too much care of his eye. There have been scores of cases in boxing where pugilists have been beaten because of being blinded by blood from a cut on eyebrow. Years ago Joe Gans lost a fight against Frank Erne, in the old Broadway Club in New Y'ork, as a result of a cut over one of bis optics. The clever Gans was so confused and blinded by the dripping blood that he was almost helpless against Erne. Gerirges Carpentier has a quick right hand. Furthermore, he is u clever boxer, and if Dempsey's eye should be opened at Jersey City, there is no telling what sort of an advantage it might give Carpentier, a wily scrapper who certainly would make the most of it. As for that—you know the old saying—'‘all's fair in love and war." The big fight is Just two weeks away. With a fortnight to go, Dempsey is in fine condition, and ns his training campaign is being conducted now, I believe lie will be able to continue working almost every day without great danger of overt raining. Much depends on the amount of work he does. Since he resumed his gym stunts and his boxing he has cut the period of his daily stunts to about thirtyfive minutes of fast, hard work. Within a few days more, providing all is going well, he probal ly will pitch in for a much harder work-out now and then Just to assure himself that he is really is good as he feels.
