KELLEY BOOSTS HOOSIERS, THEN SAINTS BRACE Mike’s Players Must Hare Heard Him Telling How Good Indians Looked. TRIBE DEFENSE CRACKS By ED SHAVE, St. Fnul Jura Sports Editor. ST. PAUL, Au(. 31.—You never can tell what's going to happen on the ball Held. After Monday’s game here, which the Indians won in easy fashion, 8 to 0, and In which the Hooslers looked like champions in ail departments. Mike Kelley, boss of the Saints, expressed the opinion that he didn't understand why the Indianapolis team was not one, two, three in the American Association race. Mike's own players must have heard him talking, and the Indians themselves must have decided to prove that he didn't know what he was talking about. At any rate, when the Tribesmen and Saints squared away for their second game of the series Tuesday the standard of baseball delivered by both teams was exactly reverse to what it was the day previous. The Saints braced in all departments while the Indians cracked wide open in pitching and on the defense. On Monday the Indians played with dockilke precision, only to fall to pieces and drop Tuesday's game by a 7-to-l score to the Saints. Sicking contributed two errors in the pinch Tuesday and KlnselUi also came through with one costly mUplay. Several plays which might have been chalked us as errors escaped the detection of the official scorer and went as hits for the Saints. It was a loose, uninteresting game. The Eendrtcks clan slapped Mali for four bingles in the first frame, but could put over only one run, even with & stolen base and an error thrown in. Baird. Schrelber, Covington and Shiners got the singles which helped put over the lone counter. From then on. Hall blanked the Hooslers. giving them one hit in the •econd, one in the fifth, two in the sixth and one In the eighth. A one hand stab by Haas near the left center field fence robbed Shinners of a hit and a duplicate stunt by Uendryx In the ninth peeved Schreiber. Wearer was touched for five runs In the third when the Saints bstted around. X>reesen opened with a double. Four •ingles, a sacrifice and three errors were Chalked up and five counters came over the platter The only other scoring during the game was done In the fourth, when the Saints got to Weaver for three hits, which coupled with a walk netted two runs. Retarding the nice thinrs said of the Indices after their grand showing Monday, Mike Kelley said tha Hoosiers undoubtedly had the best Infield in the league, a speedy outfield with good hitting strength, a fair catcher in Dixon and a pitching staff that stacks up not half bad. With the remarkable base running record being bung up by the Tribe, Kelley said It must be that the team has had more than its share of bad luck, otherwise he couldn't figure why it was not in the first division and fighting for the pennant. There was a possibility of a doubleheader being arranged for this afternoon. In case two games were played today both clubs will get holidays on Thursday and Friday. Bnnnr Brief. K. C. first baseman, drove out his"thirty-third home run of the season Tuesday. It was made to Dave Danfort h. Minneapolis, fighting for first place in the American Association with Louisville, has lost two important players through injuries, it was announced Tuesday. Catcher Mayer, with a broken bone in tii irft forearm, is through for the season. and Pitcher Smallwood lias broken a finger on his right hand. Barney Friberg. Kansas City outfielder and former Chicago Cub, made anew IKTI American Association record *or putouts when he accepted nine chances in Monday's grme. Friberg retired the side In the ninth by three catches.

Ring Fans Crave Return of Georges, but Fear He Means to Stay at H^me

The report from Faris that Georges Carpentier is doubtful whether he will he able to fight Tom Gibbons for the light heavyweight championship has been received with mixed feelings in this country. There will be some who will take tbe statement with a grain of salt, pointing out unkindly the highly prosperous time that Georges Is likely to have if he returns to box here. Others will say of the French boxer what they said of the French tennis player recently at Forest Hills. But still others, and perhaps the majority, will regret any such intention on tho part of Georges. Carpentier himself Is quoted In the cable dispatches as referring to the possibility of this giving up the plan to meet Gibbous. The Frenchman told fellow countrymen that he will have to return to Paris and undergo an examination from specialists before he can ron<h a decision concerning another trip to the United States. H's broken thumb apparently ts still giving trouble, and even his “health ’* to use Uarpentier’s own word, is unsatisfactory. Whether or not this bad “health” Is the result of injuries from Dempsey s powerful body blows U a matter of conjecture. In .addition, there are the firm objections of Mme. Carpentier. and the alluring call of an aluminum utensil factory. in which Georges Is Interested On the other side are the glory and the great financial return that would be gained by future appearances In tho American ring, where every champion Is a p nun of wealth and thj ropes aro of gold But it would bo cynical to tint that tho French champion will be Influenced by any reasons as sordid as these. If he stays in Paris It will bo becanso ho has decided thnt boxing is not the gentlest sport for the manager and owner of an aluminum utensil factory. Even Tex Rickard may find himself unnble to cope with tho lure of commerce. And if it is a matter of health we may take Georges' word for it that th rigors of the Great War, combined with the effects of his meeting with Pempsoy, have conceivably undermined the general health. His retirement, of course, would not boa good thing for boxing. It would leave the light-heavyweight field with ont a champion, thus creating the same situation thnt existed when Jim Jeffries retired with ,h!s heavvweight title. The same confusion, claims and counterclaims would probably follow, and it would be years before tho situation would be cleared. Most followers of boxing will pine heartily for Georges' return.

PIRATES BACK HOME TO FIGHT

Eastern Games All but Ruin Gibson’s Lead—Giants Face Test. By JACK VEJOCK. Sporting Editor, International New. NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Pittsburgh's plucky Pirates retreated from the East today, a somewhat battered but far from beaten ball club. Winding up their last eastern and only disastrous road trip at Brooklyn, the veterans trekked back to smoketown with a fine lead of 714 games reduced to 1(4 games by the Giants and Dodgers, but determined to fight to the last ditch for the pennant. George Gibson, the usually taciturn pilot of the Buceanneers, expressed the sentiment of his players briefly but forcefully Just before boarding a train for the West. “We’ve certainly fonnd the going rough during the last few days." said Gibson, “but we have no alibis to offer. Five straight defeats by New York was a hard blow. The Giants simply played better bail than we did however, and our hats are off to them. “We’re going back home to fight it out to a finish. Two-thirds of our remaining games will be played at Forbes Field. That's something of an advantage.” Gibson is confident that his team has the strength and balance to continue tha pace it has been traveling. Elated over their recent triumphs the Giants today prepared for the hardest assignment they have tackled this summer—a Western road trip with the pennant at stake. The Giants invade Pittsburgh Sept 10 for the last clash with the Idrates and if the race continues as close as it Is now, this series probably will decide the pennant.
