INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1921.

TRIBE EFFORTS GO FOR NAUGHT Home-Coming Game Proves Disastrous—Brewers Remain Over Week-end. TWO GAMES SUNDAY. Tomorrow will be a bargain day tor tile fans, a double-header being scheduled between Brewers and Indians at Wn-hlncton Park. The first game will start at 2 o’clock. In ortler to make the twin bill possible the Monday game with the Milwaukee outfit will be moved- up. With ('las* A baseball weather prevailing the dull managers decided a double attraction Sunday would be more popular than single games Sunday and Monday. The burly Brewers were still the visiting attraction at Washington Park this afternoon and Jack Hendricks’ ludlans were expecting another lively time with the gang from the land of the pretzel-w-hat-used-to-be. Evidently what used to be placed in Milwaukee pretzels now must be injected into Brewer bats, for the manner In which Jack Egan's gang walloped the ball in the series opener yesterday was frightful from the standpoint of the Iloosier fan. The final score in the Indians’ homecoming game was 17 to 3, all In favor of the visitors. Until the fifth inning the contest looked like a real ball game, with Rogge and Northrop staging a lieat pitching battle. Also up to that point the Indians led, 2to 1. But what a difference a few minutes can make! Eight Brewer runs went over in the fifth after two men had been retired. It win n case of hammer, hammer, hammer and the Tribe outfielders were given plenty of exercise. There wasn't even a chance for an out on any of the drives and It was necessary to send Caret In the box in order to retire the side. The Brewers simply swung their bats and started around the paths. With eight runs In for the fifth frame, the score mounted to 9 to 2 in the Brewers' favor. In the sixth the Eganites made It two more, then two more in the seventh, four more in the eighth and then jet for fuu they didn't s- ore In the ninth. The Tribe was not hitting what Northrop Jerked np at 'em. Five bits represented the Indians' total for the afternoon. Eddie Sicking getting two of the number. The Tribe was again crippled due to the absence of Tex Covington by illness. I.efty Morrison tried to play first base, but when the tight places cam" I.efty forgot where the bag was stationed and a* a result the Tribe defense was seriously handicapped. At any rate the Brewers are to remain here over the week-end and the fans can look forward to having a good time watching to see how the Indians are going to stop ’em—if they aro to be stopped.

SCENES SHIFT FOR GIBBONS BOYS

By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Bports Editor. NEW YORK, July 23.—Big brothers who used to lord it over the kid of the family can sympathize with Mike Gibbons. Mike used to be the big boss of hts brother Tom, but things are all changed now. Tom's chief claim to fame used to rest in being the brother of the famous Mike. Now Mike is known as tho brother of the famous Tom, Mike, the “old phantom,” Is here training for a rather inferior bout with Angie Ratner. Tom is getting ready for a crack at the light heavyweight champion, Georiea Carpentlcr. “Beftiro we knew anything about the game I used to hnve it all ever Tom.” Mike said today. “He was Just a little fellow and l could cuff him around whenever I wanted —whenever father wasn't looking. "Then I started boxing and ns Tom took on size, he thought tie gloves gave him a chance to get even and he started to learn tho game. But. he didn't get along very fast. He learned how to box, but he didn’t develop punch enough to hurt me. I could easily avoid anything he tried to give me. “But Tom grew bigger, ho became a better boxer and ha learned to hit. He

Navin Says Attendance Is Good Considering the Nation’s Business Slump DETROIT. July 23 Frank Navin, president of the Detroit Tigers, declares huslraws here ha* been bptter than last year, when attendance figures broke previous record*. 'I. onsidering the slump in genera! husltiess, especially in theaters, moving pictures, ana other amusement*. 1 think t lie attendance has been absolutely phenomenal," Navin said today. “We are highly satisfied with the attendance L. re de-nlt-e the many counter attractions.

I don't want to stop anything that he doesn’t pull.” Despite the reversal of conditions, Mike is getting a lot of pr'dc out of tho rise of his brother and he boasts: “I told you so.” “Several years back, when I was going good, I told the sport writers that Tommy was going to get there some day, aud he did. "Os course, I think Tommy will heat Carpentier, and there ’s nothing personal in my Judgment. “I know he Is going to win, because he is a better boxer and a harder hitter than the Frenchman. “I have seen Carpentier in action. He has nothing but some flashy footwork and a good right hand. He won t get his right over on Tom like he did on Dempsey's jaw. Every time he misses he's going to get one In the exchange that will wear him down just like he was battered down by Dempsey. Tom can hit to the body Just as hurd as the ehamI>ion can and what is more, he knows Just where to hit. Tom has been studying the vital spots for two years and he knows them. Tom lias two good hands and what is more-—he can take one. He will not have to take many from any boxer, because he is clever enough to get away from them.

America vs. Britain in Dual Track Tilt at Harvard Stadium CAMBRIDGE., Mass., July 23.—Tt was America vs. Britain at Harvard Stadium today when the Joint Harvard Yale track team met to contest athletic supremacy with Oxford and Cambridge Universities of England. Each team was conceded about an even chance for victory. Only first places will count In the scoring unless a tie results. In such an event, second places will bo scored. Many expect such an outcome and believe the Americans have a good chance of winning on such a basis. British strength iu the 440 yard dash, the 880 yard run. the one mile run, two miie run and the hammer throwing, is expected. The American athletes should excel In the hurdles, shot put, high Jump and broad Jump, with an even chance in the century dash.

TAD’S TIDBITS 111 lIXS AND BECKETT. Here i* the story of that BeekottBurus muss that we had a tip on a few weeks back. A London paper printed it and it's rather interesting. Give it the o. o. "An unofficial dust up between Tommy Burn?, and .1 ■ Beckett at Leeds has been tho subject of sensational rumors in the boxing world. 'l. ■ Sunday Express ha* iiiHiie first hand Inquiries and Is able to tell the correct story. "It seems that mi the day following the Northern Union football match between England and Wales at Leeds, when Beckett, Burns and Wilde were honored spectators and wore duly photographed in front of an admiring crowd, a difference arose between Burns and Beckett. "Beckett, it is nnderstod, objected to a certain article of Burns' wherein a description of the Moran Beckett tight suggested criticism of tho manner In which the Fonthampton heavyweight champion stood up to the American boxer. Beckett, resented innuendoes contained in the article, and especially the suggestion that he was so fearful of Moran’s Mary Ann that he went down and stayed down to a vacuum punch. “At the hotel in Leeds Burn* saw Be.-kett and went across to shake hands with Southampton’s idol. Rut Beckett, it Is said, refused. In lact, he was so incensed with Tommy Burns that when he met him afterwards in the corridor which led to the bedrooms be went up to the light heavyweight boxer and said: Did yon say I was u coward when 1 fought Moran?’ “Words followed. Beckett was furious. Burns stood his ground. In a momoni smashing blows were being exchanged. It was a fiercer fighi ihfiu was ever witnessed at the Albert Hall, or even in the go.id old days of boxing. ' Thero was no quarter, no sparring for points. At ore moment Beckett was down; In another lie was up again, hi* collar torn from his shirt, his coat bespattered with blood. Both men were thoroughly roused and seemingly ready to light to Ihe bitter end. "Friendly counsel finally prevailed; explanations were forthcoming, atid th boxers shook hands, went to dinner together, aud later in the evening visited th Empire Theater. Next day they were loth boxing different opponents and backing each other to win.” ON GOING STALE. IJow many times have you seen n fighter lose through overtraining? Think It over. Think of all the champs and bum* you have se?-n tight. Can you reaiy remember more than two? Then why Is it when you xvatch a champ tiuxir g In the gym and really working about forty minutes a day you intimate that le might overtrain? Most of them never work hard enough each day to call it work. When Jim Corbett brought Tom Cowler to America from Australia he sent the Cumberland “man mountain” to Dougiaston, L. 1., to train. .Tim got him u match against Gunboat Smith and hired Billy Rodeitbaeli to train him. Corbett was awfully anxious that Cow ler should make a good showing and. above all things, wanted him to bo in superb shape. •Tim used to visit the joint three times a week and then Cowler had a pretty good workout. Corbett sneaked up on a day when he wasn’t expected, however, and at 8:30 found Tom asleep on the rubbing table. “The >at Is killing me, Jim,” he said. “I eaxvn't work." Anyone at that moment handing Mr. Corbett anew horseshoe would have found It In two pieces with teeth marks showing. "Look at that Mg stiff in there dying from work.” piped Jim. “He’s dead. 1 worked six months for Charley MMeheil, and for the Jeffries tight I boxed twenty rounds every day for six weeks with Gus Ruhlin. Cowlt r‘s dead after a week. “He reminds me of tlie tramp listening to a pal in a box oar. One tramp said: ‘Dusty, 1 got an Idea for a food machine. Ail ya gotta do is to make a wish, then turn ml 11 crank and out comes the food nil cooked and ready to eat.’ “The second tramp smacked his lips and said; ‘Good idea, Hawkins, but who’s gonna turn the crank?’”

NO IN AUSTRALIA. We learn from Australian papers that a fighter’s second has no right to toss a towel info the ring as a token of defeat for his man. TMs happened when Charles, the French middleweight, lost to Billy Shade there recently. W. F. Corbett, hi the Sidney Referee, lias this to say regarding the manipulation of the laundry : The throwing tn of the towel from (he. French angle on Saturday night caused a great deal of talk. In my report of the contest I referred to a sta dlum rule which debarred seconds from Interfering. The referee only was allowed to stop a battle. For some time this provision was rigidly Insisted n- n, but after a while It became more noticed in the breach than the. observance. The management has now decided to prevent an occurrence similar to that of Saturday night tnking place in the future. They will not interfere with the throwing up of the wipe, while the boxer concerned is In his corner for the minute’s spell, unless it appears to them that doing so Is unwarranted. But no second shall he permitted to declare his principal beaten while a round Is In progress. It Is contended, and correctly, that, when boxers are fighting, the refer ee sees as much as the seconds, and Is equally, or more, competent to form an opinion as to w hether one. or the other man is in such a condition that he should not be allowed to continue. THE INNOCENT BYSTANDER. Dear Tad—Here’s one for the book: The other night a bunch of us wmre talking baseball in a cigar store where most of the chatter concerns ponies. Wa mentioned li3be Ruth and two or three others said that he was the greatest ever. One of the crowd, who didn’t know a shell full about baseball, wanted jt know who rode him and who was Ala owner. \ , /

I like to think of our country as a good sporting country. If 1 had my wish I'd want a Republic where everybody can play. "it is not becoming, perhaps, to philosophize about golf, but let me say to you. Mr. Barnes, that you are typical us the best in a noble and becoming sport. And let me say to you golfers who hope to better your scores—that takes you au in—l have seen the champion of this day drive into the rough and then stop and plant his feet and never drive until ne was confident and sure of himself, if we only apply that poise and confidence to other things in life we *lll ichieve even more than we have." factories and r o iaothe mb Barnes’ score for the seventy-two holes of play follows: —Thursday MorningOut 445 35 833—33 In 344 444 244—33—69 —Thursday Afternoon— Out 534 490 385—39 H‘ 634 453 344—30—75 Out 525 555 334—37 In 455 844 844—30—73 —Friday Afternoon — * Out 444 343 435—34 In.. 404 445 434—38—72—289 The complete scores of those who went through the seventy-two holes play in the championship follow: James yj.
