HOOSIERS PULL UPSET, BEATING LEADERS TWICE Indians Enjoy Rest After Bumping Colonels Both Ends of Double Bill. MORRISON IN SPOTLIGHT .Tack Hendricks’ Indians were feeling somewhat chesty today over their big achievement of yesterday and the fans certainly were proud of their Hoosiers, even though the team is down in the race, . locking off the league leading Colonels twice the same day is some stunt, anu in putting over the double victory the Tribe demonstrated some high-class baseball. The scores of the holiday attractions were S to 1 and 7 to 3, Jess Petty hurling the first contest and Fug Cavet the second. Tlie closing struggle of the afternoon was the real "whizz” affair and the fans were kept on their toes nearly throughout ihe battle. Gene Morrison was the hero of this combat with two sensational catches that cut ofT runs and stopped Colonel rallies. The Tribe negotiated four double plays in this fray, Baird to Picking to Covington thre“ times and Morrison to Schreiber for the fourth. Petty gave up only five Mis in the first game and the rooters agreed that it was one of the best games pitched at the Tribe lot this season. The Colonels used both Koob and Long in this game and the Indians hammered both, their big inning being the seventh, when six runs were scored. The Indians pot u rest today, after which they will depart for Columbus to open a series with the Senators. Following the Columbus series they will visit Toledo and Louisville before returning home to meet the four Western teams la the wind-up games of tho American Association season.
WASHINGTON PARR NOTES. Tribe fans have not had many gala mi? but fhev certainly enjoyed a big feast yesterday. Morrison's sensational catches were made in the sixth and seventh innings of the second game. Two Colonels were on the sacks each time. In the sixth be went to his left to make a shoestring and in the seventh he went to his right. This second catch was the more sensational. He took the ball off his toes while running in at full speed. He th*n tossed to Schreiber for a double killing. Walter Rehg was banished from the second gamp in the fourth round for imitating Umpire Connolly's pose in calling runners out at first. Hank Schreiber got two tripes, but one was wasted when he dashed beyond third and was caught. Baird added two more thefts to his rapidly-mounting stolen base totaL Shinners cut in with one. The Hoosiers certainly look good when they win. That second game yesterday provided more thrills than probably any contest at the park this season. Os the Indians' ten hits, seTen were for extra bases.

Scarlet Followers Looking Forward to Another Big Season Bright Prospects at Wabash for Football, Basket-ball and Baseball. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 6 Monday was Labor day, but the real ‘‘Labor day" with several weeks of them following, starts here next Monday when the Wabash College football candidates open their practice for the season. With nine games on the schedule, the first one coming on Nov. 24 when Augustana comeg hero, there is little time to waste and Coaches Vaughan and Huffine have plenty of practice sessions slated for the Scarlet athletes. The loss of Captain Thompson and Burns in the back field and Cash at guard, means quite a jolt to the team. It is also doubtful if Kessler, at guard, will be able to hold down his old position. "Kip” broke an ankle before the ciose of the season last year, and it is a toss up whether or not it will stand up under the strain that eorn“s with the gride game. Dalrymple. center, is the fourth man who will not be back in harness. Starting with the fall term followers of the Little Giant athletic activities are counting on another successful season In the three main branches of sportsbaseball, footfall and basket ball. Not one player is lost on the baseball or basket halt teams, aud the Wabash enthusiasts are counting on "going big” in these lines again. Wabash will go East on Oct. 15 to meet Army at West Point in football. It ir, also a probability that Illinois will be met twice in basket-ball. Rumors that the baseball team would make a Southern trip next spring have been floating around town for the past several days. The Scarlet had a winning combination on the diamond this year and Coach Scholler is expecting to see even a better nine next season.

MIDDIE SCRAP PROVES FARCE Wilson and Downey Wander Through 12 Rounds in Aimless Fashion. BT .JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Sej>t. 6.—Johnny Wilson is still wearing the middleweight cham* pionship crown today, even though it is tilted to a precarious angle. The Charlestown (Mass.) Claimant of the title made immortal by Fitzsimmons, Ketchel and Papke, earned a draw with Bryan Downey at tbe end cf twelve ronnds in Tex Rickard's big pine saucer at Jersey City Labor day and the question of who's who remains unsettled. The New Jersey boxing commission meanwhile Is holding up Wilson's end of the money—s3s.ooo—until it Investigates the efforts made by the champion. Wilson was ludicrous,* it is true, but n more so than Downey, after all is said and done, for the Ohioan is the personification of clumsiness. Principals and managers involved in ihe bout have been asked to appear before the boxing commission Thursday afternoon. The commissioners will ask particularly, “why Wilson fought in such a listless manner,'' according to Commissioner Charles McNair today. The only thing that can be said la Downey's favor is that he showed a willingness to mixit and tried hard to force the fleht at times. Wilson, probably remembering the Cleveland bout, tried to make a careful fight and depended mostly on countering after Downey's clumsy swings had either landed or gone swishing by the mark. The middleweight division is ineeed a htige, side-splitting Joke, if Wilson and Downey are to be recognized as the best men In It, and there are at least 35.06 Q metropolitan fight sane who will have other engagement any time this pair ii rtmatched around New York. Monday's bout was without a donbt the most thorough exhibition of ineompe* tency, wild swinging, clumsy countering and aiuggish ring generalship that has been seen around this neck of tbe woods for many a day. It went tha limit and was the limit. Johnny Buff, the little flyweight cham- 1 pion. showed more ability as n boxer, a clean hitter and a ring general in five rounds against Indian Russell, a wildeyed wild man from Harrisburg. Pa.; than both Wilson and Downey exhibited in their whole twelve rounds. Buff earned the right to keep the Rickard belt, whereas Wilson retains his because Downey was unable to knock him out. ,
