HIDE-AND-SEEK IN A. L. RACE Yankees Back on Top by Slight Margin—Pirates Easily Lead National. NEW YORK, Aug. 15—The Tank-*** started their midwest aehedule today In first plaoe in the American Leaeue one* spaln. thanks to the Chicago White Sox, who toppled Cleveland when Red Fab<-r rnme back Sunday and held the champions to fire hits. Five points now separate the pace-making American .League teams. In the National League the dashing Pirates still hold the lead by four and a half grmes. The Giants are hanging on doggedly, but have failed to take advantage of chances to overhaul and go ahead of Pittahnrgh and seem unable to deliver the punch necessary to a pennant winner. Asa result of persistent backwardness shown by the Giants, baseball critics to general are already conceding the pennant to George Gibson's team, though the race has seven more weeks to run. The Boston Braves, eight games behind Pittsburgh, are apparently out of the running for’good. The same holds true of Washington In the American League. The Senators are nine and one-half games in the wake of the Yankees. Washington, which assumed the role of a contender with the long string of victories ten days ago is slipping and the Senators are giving away slowly to the Browns, which seem to have found themselver at last. Detroit is on the way back alone, having turned over fifth place yesterday to the Red Sox. The champion Dodgers have come out of their slump and are playing good ball, threatening to finish at least in third place In the National race. GEORGES SOON* TO RETIRE. BOULOGNE. France.

The Christamores, Dougins Tailors, White Sox. Brookslde Independents. Independent Ramblers.

With Brief consistently pounding out homers, there Is every Indication that he will eclipse the j present record by several.

Simpson Takes State Golfing Laurels in Match With Sanders Veteran Takes Youngster Down at Fortieth Hole of Bitter Struggle. SOUTH BEND, Ind., Aug. 13.—The Indiana golf tourney for 1921 Is over and Johnny Simpson, who is at home either in Indianapolis or Vincennes, is cloaked In the championship garments. Simpson defeated Danny Sauders, South Bend star, at the fortieth In le Saturday afternoon, on the Chain-o'-Lakes course, after staging one of (he prettiest tight* that ever brought victory tn Hoosier title play Teh morning round of eighteen holes of championship play was finished with the match all square, but Sanders got away to a flying start in the afternoon session and was four up over Simpson when they teed off for the fifteenth cup. Here Simpson was confronted with the task of winning the next four holes to get another clear shot at the title. He got the breaks and performed the task. Simpson shot uncanny golf to square the match at the thirty sixth hole, while Sanders, not accustomed to the strain of such play, showed signs of ‘blowing.” The first three extra holes were squared, but on the fourth Simpson won the match and championship of Indiana when he went over for a three, Sanders taking a four. It was a great match for Simpson to win, and one that more than did credit to the golfing ability of Sanders. Johnny, the tried and true veteran of countless tournaments, found lu this South Bend youngster of no experience to speak of a real foe and be had to play tbe greatest golf of his career to take the hero roll in that last act. Bert Ball and Herman Sieiki-n, a pair of Indianapolis golfers, won the laurels In the president and director flights, respectively. Ball defeated Pete Shaffer, 1 up, and Sielken was 9 up with 8 to play In his match with Charlie Taylor of La Porte. Central A. A. U.

TRIBE FALTERS OVER WEEK-END Indians Drop Three Out of Four to Hens in Saturday. Sunday Bills. The Tndians didn't do very well over the week-end Asa matter of fact they I finished on the short eud three times i out of four and unless they take an instant brace they may succeed in ousting | the lowly Senators from last place. ! In Saturday’s double-header the In- * dtans downed the Toledo Her,* in the first clash, 6 to 5; dropped the second : bill, 5 to 6 and then Sunday tlie Hens stepped out and made it decisive by copping both ends of the twin card, 7 to 1 and 7 to 5. It was sad to see the Tribesmen lake those beatings, but that's basebalL The Hens were hitting hard Saturday and Sunday, while the Indians were hitting only in spots. Perhaps the team will do better on the road, for a number of the players seem unable to play at top speed at YVashiugton Park. The practice of some fans in rooting for the opposition whenever the home team falls behind has upset certain members of the club, and as a result they are unable to give their best here. Therefore, the Tribe may show a little form on the YY'estern trip that starts Wednesday. Rogge hurled the first bill of Sunday’* double-header against McCullough. The\ Hen hurler gov away in easy fashion, for the Indians weren't hitting and all tha breaks went to tha Hens. In the second contest Caret opposed Wright, and it j was more of a match, for the Indians I located their batting eyes to some extent. ' However, the Her.s couldn't be stopped and they emerged victors again. There was no game carded at YYashi iugton Park this afternoon and the fan* | will have plenty of time to tune up for the big exhibition between the New York Y'ankt-es and the Indians tomorrow. Mr. Babe Ruth is coming and he promise* to extend himself in an effort to drive the ball over into the railroad yards. Th Taukees and Ruth are due to reach the I city tonight and they will he quartered at the Lincoln Hotel Ruth will t>e tha i guest of the Rotary Club at luncheon toi morrow. Following the luncheon Bab* • will go to Washington Park to demouI strate his over-the-fence punch. A FOUND THE ASSOCIATION. In order to fill Bruno Betzel's shoes ' properly at second base the Louisville | Colonels swung a deal Saturday that transferred Buck Herzog from the | Senators to the Kentucky outfit. Betzel U out of the game with a broken leg. i It is not known what sura the Colonels j paid for Herzog, but at any rate Herzio .is now a Colonel. No matter how o'.d Charlie grows he manages to get in on the money deals. Sana Van Dyke, who tried out for an j outfield berth with the Indians last spring, seems to have made good in tha Michigan-Untario League. In fact he i made so good that the Boston Americans I bought him and then announced he would bp turned over on option to the Rochesi ter Internationals. He will not join I Rochester until next spring. When Sara . was with the Indians he couldn’t hit. , This town must be a jinx on hitting. Artie Butler, K. C. second sacker who I deserted the team several weeks ago ' during the hot spell, has been rej instated. i ;The Indians will visit the four Western A. A. cities before again appearing at Washington Park, The trip starts ! after the Babe Ruth game tomorrow. ! The Indians are short a catcher again. Luke Sewell, whom the Tribe obtained from Cleveland on option, has been recalled by Tris Speaker. Manager Hendricks sent wires out today in an effort to locate a backstop to help Leo Dixon. A. A. MEETING. The regular weekly meeting of the board of directors of the Indiana A. A. U. will be held at the Chamber of Commerce dining room tomorrow noon.
