MILLERSCLOSE TRIBE SERIES; BLUES FOLLOW Indians Step Out Today With Hopes of Grabbing One From Cantillon. GOSSIP OF THE TEAMS The Indians had their last chance today to trip up the slugging Millers and It was probable that Harry Weaver would be trotted out to use his assortment of curves In an effort to give the Hendrlcksmen one game out of the series. The Kansas City Blues, another hard-hitting crew, will be here tomorrow to make their first appearance at Washington Park and they will remain for four days. With the Blues will Mr. Bunny Brief, champ home run batter of the American Association; Beals Becker, who last winter was reinstated In organized baseball after being an outlaw for awhile; Kube Lutzke, former Indianapolis lnfielder; Nick Carter, former Indianapolis pitcher, and Dutch ZwiUlng, former ludiauapoils outfielder. The Blues are tied with the Senators for second place in the early A. A. standing and they have been picked by various sport critics as one of the formidable clubs of the 1922 race. The Miller-Indian contest at Washington Park yesterday was a wild affair, the Tisitors finally flninshlng on the long end of of a 11-to-9 score, Umpire Murray donating the Tribe its ninth run in the ninth on a play that had many of the onlookers puzzled. However, the extra run was not of Importance because the third out was made a few moments after it had scored. The Indians used fifteen players in a hopeless effort to grab the contest out of the fire, four of the number being pitchers, two pinch hitters and one a pinch base runuer. Hill started on the mound for the Tribe aud he was opposed by Mangum. Both were east and did not last long. Seib followed Hill on the firing line and Williams followed Man- r gum. W .en Seib weakened Petty went , Ir. for the Hoosiers and when Williams I •j.ew up for the Millers Haid took up ) the pitching for Cantillon. Petty later dropped out for a pinch hitter and Pug i Cavet finished. Hatd stuck it out for the : visitors. Dacia ‘earn got an even dozen hits, but! the Indiin defense cracked and the Cantlllonites were handed a few unearned markers. Walter Rehg had a tough day In left field, three errors being cnaiked against him. He also had a difficult time at the bat. The aun seems to be bothering Walter this spring, for last year he committed only six errors the entire season. There was so much batting, poor pitching and substitutions made that tbe game consumed more than two hours. In the first inning Minneapolis scored twice and the Indians came back with three. In the second frame the Millers scored four times and the Indians came back with three again. In the third the Millers scored two more, but this time the Tribe was unable to follow suit. In the ; seventh the Millers stepped out for three additional runs and the Indians man- j aged to get one over In their half of the seventh. The Tribe scored one marker in both tbe eighth and ninth Innings against 1 none for Millers, but the Cantillonites didn't need any more and they finished two to the good.

The Indians got a run donated to them in the ninth in this manner: Sicking doubled after one down and Morrison walked. Attreau batted for Cavet and grounded to Jourdnn, Sicking and Morrison advancing. Baird bounded a fast one down tbe third base line and the ball bit Sicking In the legs. He turned and sprinted home while tbe Miller infield stood still, wondering what it was all about. Catcher Mayor shouted some orders and then Third Baseman Conrov got busy and threw the ball to second, trapping Morrison off the bog. While the Miller infield was running Morison down. Sicking crossed the plate and Umpire Murray allowed the run. According to the rules the game was over when the batted ball hit Sicking. The rules permit a hit to Baird under the circumstances. Evidently Umpire Murray did not see the bated ball hit Sicking. Catcher Mayer of the Millers drove the ball over the left field fence in the sec- ; ond inning with one mate on. It was his second homer of the series. Purcell got a triple for the Tribe and j Rondeau a tbree-sacker for the visitors. \ Sieking's two hits were doubles. Others to get doubles in the game were .Tour don, Russell and Browns for the Millers and Covington for the Indians. Slicker Parks, former Michigan University pitching star, failed to stem the tide of Milwaukee base hits and the Hens went down for the third straight time before the Brewers at Toledo yesterday. The Colonels, who are Heating tbe other Twin City team just as rudely as Minneapolis treated them, took another game from St. Paul yesterday. The hits were evenly divided, but the runs ttfere not. Loudermilk and Schupp went along merrily at Columbus for eight Innings in qufte a pitchers' duel, each being equally wild and each equally stingy with the base knocks. Then Manager Rowland had a bright idea and substituted Jake Northrop in the ninth for tbe "string beun.” Jake was even wilder than Grover and walked in the wiuning counter.

TENDLER TRIES TO SQUEEZE ON BENNY’S SHOES Quakertown Boxer Makes Effort to Annex Title by Verbal Route. CHAMP WON’T MEET HIM By HENRY FARRELL. NEW YORK, April 19— Lew Tendler, the Philadelphia southpaw boxer, says be is the new lightweight champion and he is going to be a real title bolder by meeting all comers. Benny Leonard, on the books as the best of the 133-pouudcr*, Is still around, but seems to have lost the decision on the telegraph wires. Leonard dislikes Tendler so much that he won't even tight with him. i.utl it is a safe bet that he won’t counter the verbal sleep producers of his yuukertown rival. Tendler is good and mad because Leonard failed to include him on the ltct of invitations that were sent out to help him swell his bank roll at Michigan City next July. He says some mean things the bad thumb that Leonard has developed several times when a promoter was about to get him in the ring aud be goes so far as to openly assert that Leonard Is afraid of him. Tendler is a vietlin of tbe aloof attitude that tbe United States has taken regarding th<* International Boxing Federation. If Uncle Sam would join the austere European body which is running the tight business, Lew could claim tbe title aud grab the crown with a few vicious words, fie might not get the title but lie would have some fun in the attempt as Eugene Crlqul. the French featherweight champion. did recently In Paris. Arthur Wyns. a Belgian, holds the European featherweight title, and it seems that be won't fight Criqui. The Frenchman, following the letter of in ternatlonnl boxing law. challenged W yns six months ago, and when six months had rolled around without getting any response. Criqui went to a newspaper office, weighed in and went to an empty boxing arena that night. When the wee hours of the morning came around and Wyns had not appeared, Criqui claimed the tltlp. Wyns protested that he didn’t know anvthing about it and Criqui was pre vailed upon by bis friends to give the title back to tbe Belgian after he had won his morale victory. If Leonard had won his title tinder tbe New York rules, Tendler could get some place with a claim for default, as the Walker law requires that a champion winning a title under its rules must defend his title ones every six motnhs when he is challenged by a bonl fide contender. TVonderlich’s Change of Cars Leaves Place Open for Another Speed Pilot Jerry Wunderlich has left a place for another driver in the .Vl' tnl’.e race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Mat 3". with the announcement that he lias purchase.! one Os tile Dues. tit), rgs which completed in the French. Grand l'rix race at Le Mans. France, last July. Wunderlich was named by Mne Harvey ss the pilot of her Frontenne when the car was entered, but Wunderlich, who was recently in Indianapolis closing the details for the purchase of the Duesenberg, leaves the I.os Angeles woman without a driver. He Is taking the car to the Pacific Coast to enter it in two races and will then bring it ba<-k to Indianapolis for the 500 mile affair "There'll be no water in my gasoline this year." said Edie Hearne after he had entered his ear in the local race May 30. Last year Hoarne’s car went "dead” far from his base of supplies at the pits A hasty examination convinced the veteinn that there was a large quantity of water in his fuel. He had to quit the race.

M s MAHON-DALTON BOUT ATTRACTS Keen interest is being taken In the Patsy McMahon. J immy Dalton bout to be staged under the auspices of the Imperial Athletic Club at the Broadway Theater next Monday night. Each scrap r>er has a large following and. according 1 lv> he opinion of ring fans, the lightweights slack up Just about even Dalton has had more matches recently than McMahon, but Patsy Is training hard for the bout and has promised bis friends be will be In top form. The lightweight championship of the city Is claimed by both scrappers and much rivalry- exists be- | tween the two. The bout will be a scheduled ten round affair and will be the main go of an all-star card. Patsy is scheduled to meet Bed Herring at Bir I mingham, April 2r. He recently drew I with Herring in the South. The semi windun go on the McMahonDalton card promises to be about as atj tractive as the main go.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES.

BILLIARDS

| Billy Evans Says

Golf Conditioner for Other Sports Golf seems to be a conditioner for every other line of sport Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, is strong for golf. While far from a Jock Hutchison Dempsey plays a pretty game. During spring traluing trips most of the athletes play as much golf as baseball. Asa matter of fact, some managers are of the opinion that golf Is being overdone by the ball players. Jake Schaefer, billiard champ. Is the latest title holder to sing the praises of golf. While most of the star golf players are expert at billiards Schaefer Is the first billiard player of note to risk his hands swinging golf clubs. Schaefer Insists that the use of the wooden and iron clubs improves his I n? game of billiards and that the short golf game, putting and pitching, Is helpful to his short cushion work, nurse and masse shots. “My father always advised that I stay away from all outdoor sports to protect m'y hands. When I took ttp golf many blllard players shook their heads. They figured my billiard game would be ruined. “A billiard player, like a golfer, must have extremely supple wrists and fingers and free working shoulder Joints. Golf has improved my billiard game. The only danger to a billiardist in golf Is that his fingers might stiffen a little. But I have never been bothered that way." Willie Hoppe, who Irled in his recent match with Schaefer to regain the title that he held for a dozen years, is a great lover of baseball. Hoppe once told me that he greatly regretted that he didn't go in for baseball as a kid rather than billiards. Hoppe always regarded billiards as a business rather than a sport. Really no game is more dangerous on the hands than baseball, yet Hoppe used to take all kinds of chances. When playing exhibitions in a major league city he usually worked out with one of the teams prior to (he start of the game. ' In this respect Hoppe used to make all kinds of worry for his manager. Fortunately, however, his love for baseball never in any way slowed up his billiard game. -|- -|- -|- -I- -1- -ITy Cobb Likes New Shortstop Ty Cobb is positive the weak spot on the Detroit infield, shortstop, has finally been taken rare of. The Tiger leader is certain that •Topper" Rigney is destined to beeome a fixture and will develop into a real star. Cobb goes even further, and says that inside of two months the baseball experts will be saying a lot of nice things about the young man. "Rigney is certain to make good in the American League," says Cobb. “The youngster got away to a rather bad start in the Cleveland series, but that doesn't mean a thing. “Higtiev Is a youngster who has never been above the Mason and Dixon line for any greater length of time, and everything Is new to him. Just as soon as be'gets acclimated, gets to know his batters, and realizes that the big league brand of baseball is played Just the same as la the Texas League, watch his smoke. "Rigney is fast, can go equally well to either his left or right, and has plenty of nerve Unless lam a poor judge of ball players this young man Is one of the best infield recruits that has broken into the major leagues In If Rigney comes through as Cobb believes he will, Detroit will have a mighty fine infield before the season Is over. Lou Blue at first and Bobby Jones at third are both great players, who already have proved their worth. They can field. hit t throw and are fast. In fact, do everything well. Cutshaw at second is a veteran player who has slowed up considerable, yet he will be of great aid in schooling Rigney.

LIVE COMMENT ON FEATURE TOPICS BY N. Y. SCRIBBLER — BY DAVID J. WALSH.

NEW YORK, April 19. Perhaps he might do better if he . hanged his name to John J. Smith He could then go messing around with a lot of .bird raters and nobody would care either one way or tbe other.

WHOA BILL’S SON With tho Minneapolis team this spring la a young man who has seen Indianapolis before, only through younger eyes.

COLLEGE NINES HAVE BUSY DAY, Purdue Beats De PauwWabash Loses to Illinois— Notre Dame Is Victor. Four Hoosier college baseball team* aired their ambitions Tuesday with varying results while another game, ButlerState Normal, was postponed until today on account of wet grounds. Purdue nosed out De Pauw in the tenth inning at Lafayette for a 7 to 6 victory, while Noire Dame and Wabash invaded foreign territory to gain an even spilt for i Indiana baseball. The Irish ran wild against the University of Louisville and won, 13 to 4, but Walash was jolted by the University of Illinois to the tune of 11 to 1. De Pauw, showing unexpected hitting strength, pushed the Boilermakers hard all the way and It was not until the tenth inning that the Lafayette nine was able to shove over the narrow margin of victory. Straek, who entered the game as a pinch hitter in the tenth, scored the winning run as the result of a clever Purdue bunting game. The Methodists outhit Purdue. 11 to 9. but seven errors, as against three for Purdue, had their effect on the final result. Campbell, Purdue's sophomore hurler, was hit hard by the Tigers, and Wallace finished the game. Bills, on the mound for De Pauw, pitched a creditable game and held the Boilermakers to eight safeties. A spring training trip proved its advantage over a rainy season 1n Crawfordsville and the University of Illinois nine, in mid season form, handed Wabash a drubbing. The heavy stick work that last year made the Scarlet aggregation one of the best college outfits in Indiana, was missing yesterday and tbe Illinois twirlers let Coach' Scholler's boys down with two hits. At no time did Wabash have a chance and by scoring nine runs in the first three innings thj Illini got away to a start that decided the victory at an early stage. With every man on the team hitting safely Notre Dame opened up on Louisville with an attack that netted eighteen hits. Castner led the onslaught with two home runs. Magebney. who pitched tbe first five Innings for the Irish held the KentnckiaDs to a lone hit. Ratcbford, who succeeded him. turned opposing batters back in good fashion until the ninth when a late rally netted three runs. | Additional Sports, Page 9
