STATE TENNIS FIELD CUT TO CLASSY TALENT Six Local Players Among Eight Fighting for SemiFinal Berths. DOUBLES PLAY OPENS FORT WAYNE). Ind.. Sept I—Real features were expected to crop out In the Indiana State open tennis championships on the Fort Wayne Country Club courts today. Semi-final round positions were st stake in today's matches, anu the clever players surviving the early rounds were expected to get out and step some before dropping out of ths spotlight circle. In the upper half of the draw, johnny Hennessey, present State champ, was to meet his veteran Indianapolis rival, Fred Appel, and Ralph Burdi-k, Indianapolis citv champ, was paired with Walter Wlrthwein, the Ohio State University man. There were three more Indianapolis men in the lower half, Fritz Bastian and Albrecht Kipp being scheduled against each other, and Jack McKay being on the booka for battle with W illis Fulton of Toledo. In the event that Hennessey and Burdick win today, and they should, easily, Johnny will get the chance to square accounts with Burdick for that city championship defeat in Indianapolis recently. Johnny Is anxious to show the fans that he was far from being ready for play when this match was staged. It was hoped that Julius SagalowOty would the power to give Hennessey a Lattle yesterday afternoon, but Johnny had a lot of fun hustling ‘‘Sag" around the court after all si rts of fancy drives. Julius lost, but he snowed the fans that he clubs a mean ball for one so young. Fritz Bastian won the best match of the tournament, to date, when he took the long end of his affair with E. L. Westenhover of Cleveland. The scores were 7-5, 6-4, and It was a real contest all the way. Gage Hoag, once a State champion and one of our best tennisers. tried to get back in harness after two years of looking on, but Jack McKay got rid of him In a hurry, the count being 6-0, 6-2. The men’s doubles and women's singles got under way yesterday, but, there were no special attractions on the early cards. Today was set for the start of the matches that really count.

INDIANS CLOSE TRIP IN WEST Tribe Returns Home Following Series Wind-up Fray With Saints Today. ST. PAUL, Sept. I.—The Indians today were to close their 1921 play in the western half of the Hickey loop, when they met the Saints in the wind-up game of the local series, jess Petty was slated for mound duty and his mates were hopeful that he would put across a winner and thereby give them au even break here. Following the contest this afternoon the Hooslers will depart for Indianapolis tonight. Friday is an off-day. A scries will be opened with the league-leading Colonels at Indianapolis Saturday. The Indians’ manner of playing while here has been erratic. They looked like world beaters th first day, but ou Tues day and Wednesday there wasn't much to their r.ttack. Ou both Tuesday and Wednesday the Tribe obtained as many hits as the Saints, but far less runs. Watson, pinch hitting for Bartlett in the eighth inning, got a homer over the lelt field wall tor one of the two runs which the Indians chalked up against Rube Benton in the third game of the series Wednesday. The Saints beat the Hoosiers by knocking Cavet out of the box in the fourth inning, scoring the five runs that gave them a 5-2 victory. It was one of the fastest games played at Lexington Park this season, one hour and 23 minutes being consumed for the pastime. Benton held the Indians in leash and turned them back scoreless with the exception of the first and eighth frames, when three aud two hits respectively, accounted for the Hoosiers' two ruus. Cavet started off nicely and allowed but one hit until the fatal fourth xvhen he blew up. Two walks, five Saint hits, including a double and a mUoue by Sicking was responsible for five ruus. Bartlett relieved Cavet in the fourth with two out and retired toe side after Dresseu’s single had scored Allen. Burt left pitched to only nine men la the fifth, sixth and seventh. Innings aud then Stryker finished. Baird onened the game with a single. Schrelber and Itehg were easy out*. Covington was hit on the head by a pitched hall. Shinners’ single scored Baird.

The weather broke lust, right yesterday, and something like 800 boys and girls took charge of Broad Ripple Park to have the time of their young lives on one of the classiest pienk-a ever staged for a crowd of kids.

The mob of happy, howling youngsters pranced up Meridian street from The Times office at 8 o’clock yesterday morning and a short time later they piled off eight Broad Ripple "specials,” to take the park by storm.

The kids had a wonderful time from the word go, and the many pareuts who accompanied their children on the big party enjoyed themselves just as much as did the youngsters themselves. One of the big features of the picnic was the track and field meet, which the Station P lads copped with a total of 21 points. Station U came in a close second with 20 points, and the Street Boys were third with 18 points. Other teams finished in the order named: Station 11, Station G, Suburban Bovs. Station M, Central Station, Stations Q O and S, and Stations L. X, Y and T.

The manager and captain of the Riversides accented the verdict gracefully and tharked those present for giving audience to their protest. In a parting statement they said the Riverside team members bore no hard feelings over the FINDS SAILING EASY Has National Hit Honors All but Cinched—Great Race in American. By JACK VEIOCK. International News Sport* Editor. KEW YORK. Sept. I.—Rogers Hornsby ia as good as “in” with another National League batting championship. The star swntsman of the St. Louis Cardinals, with 202 hits and a batting average of .113 in 125 games, is more than sixty-five points ahead of his nearest rival and unless he suffer* an unprecedented slump ha will breeze under the wire a two-time champion. The batting race in the American League is far from settled. Harry Heilman of the Tigers, who has been leading the league for a good many weeks, is hitting .308 today, with Cobb and Ruth close on his heels. Heilman recently went through a batting slump that cut his percentage down to within striking distance for Cobb, who now is but three points behind. George B!sler. last year s patting champion, la hitting .373 and climbing rapidly. The hitting of Hornsby this year has been decidedly brilliant. The Cardinal star reached and passed tk 200 mark in base hits at Philadelphia yesterday, incidentally, registered his twentieth home run of the season. He has an outside chance of beating the National League record for the most base hits in a season. This record waa hung up by Willie Keeler, when he made 243 hit* as a member of the Baltimore Oriole* In 1914 and while Hornsby will have to £o like a house afire to get forty-two hits In the twenty-nine remaining on the Cardinal schedule, it Is a good bet that he runs his totai well up to that mark. The American League record for the most base hits in a season, is 257, hung up last year by George Sisler. ‘Babe Ruth, w'ith forty-eight home runs to dote. Is four ahead of his 1920 mark at this time. Bir League Stuff The Yank* took the Washington Senators into camp in a terrific slogging bee.
