BREWERS HERE FOR ROUND OF THREE GAMES Harry Clark’s Boys Have Been Going Good—Blues Blanked by Weaver. GREAT CONTEST SUNDAY After knocking off the K. C. Blues three out of four, the Indians today were to* entertain the Milwaukee Brewers in the opener of a three-game series at the Tribe lot. This Brewer gang has teen cutting up down in Louisville and apparently Harry Clark, who is trying a come-back as manager, has got the boys from the Cream City working their heads off. Dick Gossett, former Indian catcher, is with the Milwaukee team. New players with Clark are Myatt, Griffin, Melillo and Johnson. following three games with the Brewer*, the Indians will pack up Wednesday night and depart for Minneapolis, where they will aid the Cantillonites open their home season Friday. Fans were still talking today of the great game won by the Tribe Sunday over the K. C. Blues. Harry Weaver opposed Bono, the K. C. ace, ou the mound Bnd scored a sensational victory, 1 to 0. Harry certainly had a-plenty and it was one of the best games <ever staged at the Tribe park. It was necessary for Weaver to uncork all he had, for Bono was in grand form also and gave up only five hits. The lone run came in the seventh and it came in clean-cut fashion. After one down Purcell singled to center and stole second. Sicking, nest up, bounded to I.utzke and was thrown out while Purcell advanced to third. Two out and a man on third. Lefty Morrison was at bat. The fans were on their feet shouting for a hit. Did Lefty hear Sue appeal? He did! Smack! The ball skimmed down the right field foul line for three bases and Purcell whome with what proved to be the "• nning marker. Lefty was left stranded at .bird, but nobody worried over th*c, for Weaver was going too good to let the visitulrs ever, think of scoring. The victory Sunday gave the Indians three out of'four in the series with the slugging Blues and put them In a tie with the Brewers for second place in the A. A, standing. It was Weaver's third win of the season in as many starts, the youthful flinger having defeated both saints and Millers previous to blanking the Blues.
The Blues got seven hits and the Indians five. Extra base hits were scored by Weaver, Schreiber and Morrison of the Tribe and Murphy of the Blues. Murphy batted for Skiff in the ninth and doubled to left center. Two men were cut at the time. Lutzke, who went big throughout the series, then closed the game with a long fly to Hehg. The fielding was good on both sides, only one error, a bad throw by Weaver, being made. Lutzke's fielding at third base was superb. Covington went up in the air for a Baird high throw in the third and prevented a K. C. run. Weaver struck out six men and did not issue a pass. Wilbur Good, one of the best hitters in the American Association, was fanned twice by Harry’s curves. By scoring the shutout Weaver was presented with two hats by Harry Levinson, hatter and sportsman. Levinson also is offering a hat for home runs scored by home players at Washington Park. In the Saturday contest at the park the Blues won the laurels. Bto 4. Bartlett got away to a bad start on the mound and the Blues obtained such a lead that the Tribesmen were unable to catch '11?. The feature of the game Saturday was a home run beyond the flagpole by Lutzke of the Blues with two mates on base. Petty was slated for Tribe mound duty in the opener with the Brewers this afternoon. Cavet was ready for work if Petty was no feeling keyed up properly. I Nothing for Blues INDIANAPOLIS. AB. R. H. O. A.

Notre Dame, back home after a successful spring training trip that netted seven consecutive victories, was to play W'.-consin today at South Bend. Practically every college nine In the State will go into action this weekj some playing as many as three games.

Butler played errorless ball while three raisplays were chalked up against Chicago. Purdue was unable to solve the do livery of Cotter, Buckeye pitcher, at necessary moments and this coupled with Ineffective hurling by Wagner and Wallace resulted iu rather an easy victory for the Ohio team. Wagner showed to better advantage ut the bat for Purdue than In the pitcher's box, collecting a single, double and triple for three of the Boihrmaker's six hits. Notre Dame made a clean sweep of its seven-game spring (valuing trip by shutting out Dayton University to the tune of 10 10 0. Mawrevcny, on the mound for (he Irish, held the Dayton outfit to two hits and was never In danger. Bradley for Dayton, pitched superb hall for live innings, but the Catholic sluggers opened up In the sixth and by counting ten runs In the last four innings ran up a one-sided victory. - Rare pitching by William* was the deciding factor in Hanover a 5 to 2 victory over De Pauw. The Hanover twlrler was touched for two runs in the first inning, but turned the Methodists back with ease af’er this session an dgot away with a three-bit game. Bills pitching for De Pauw, was helped on to defeat by his teammates’ five errors. ‘Paris Is Fine Place, Bui— ’ PARIS, April 24.—Jack Dempsey aays : “Paris is a fine place, but they certainly take you." Taxis are the only cheap things 1n the French cupltal, according to the champion. Dempsey went to the races yesterday, but didn't bet.

Walsh was a specialist, a spitball pitcher. Unquestionably he had the greatest control of the spitball of any twlrler who has ever used the moist delivery. The spitball is difficult to control, yet I never hoard any one say they ever saw Walsh have a streak of wildness. It was uncanny the way he could make the spitter behave. With the count three balls and two strikes few pitchers who have ever used the spitball would resort to that style in the pinch. It was on such occasions Walsh insisted on using It. “No crippdes to pick oa in a pinch,” was his slogan, and he religiously adhered to it. While Walsh has twirled scores of remarkable games, two contests stand out from his point of view. One of the games was a 1 to 0 affair he lost to Cleveland back In 1908. The late Addle Joss pitched against him. Walsh struck out fifteen men, but Joss was even better. Ha didn't allow a run or hit, and not a Chicago player reached first base. It was a perfect exhibition of pitching on the part of Joss. -I- -1- -1- -|, -|. No-Hit Game Against Boston The other remarkable game pitched by Walsh was staged back in 1911 against the Boston club. Walsb won the, 5 to 0. He didn't allow a run or hit and struck out eight men. Only one man reached first baae to mar a perfect exhibition of pitching. I umpired balls and strikes in that game and recall the situation as well as if It was happening today. Clyde Engle was the only man to reach first base. In the fourth inning, with two down, he worked the count to three balls and two strikes, fouled off a couple and then walked on a fourth ball that was wide of the plate. Outside of that one man Walsh pitched perfectly and was equally well supported. The fourth ball on Engle was so wide of the plat there wasn't even the slightest protest. After the game was over and It was discovered Engle wns the only man who reached first base I was mighty glad she ball on which 1 walked him was so bad that no oue questioned my Judgment. Had'it been close I might have been accused of spoiling a perfect pitching r<^ord. Walsh was In great form that day. His spit ball wns unblttable and his control perfect. Engle was really the only batter he was 1n trouble on. The Red Sox were a hard-hitting club, which made the feat all the more noteworthy. For a pitcher to so handle n line-up Including Speaker. Lewis, Carrlgan, Wagner, Terkes, Gardner, Engle and Heudrlcksen was certainly going some.
WIQISCHOOI Fslrmount Academy was the winner in a triangular track meet held at Fairmount Saturday with Wabash nnd Bhiffton as the other participants. The final standing was Fairmount 47; Wabash 44; Bloffton 8. Marks of Wabash was the in dividual star taking 20 points, all first places. Morrow also of Wabash was second high man with 12 points, while Brookshire of Fairmount was ees-ond with 11. Ten records made at the Grant County frark and field meet held at Fairmount a week ago were broken. Freeton won th* Jackson County track meet held at Seymour Saturday, taking 33 roints. CrothersTille was second with 7 and Houston was third with 12. A good deal of Interest la being taken In track meets in thia section of late was evidenced by the large crowd which attended the meet at Seymour. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., April 24 --Gar field and Wiley High School* of Terre Haute won first and second honors In the first annual Indiana State High School wretting meet at Indiana University Saturday night. Wiley came through with 84 points, Garfield, 90; Bloomington, 14; Gary, 8, and Bluffton, L The beat match or the meet wa* the 135-pound bout between Cordell of Garfield and Haul of Gary, Cornell winning on decision. BIG LEAGUE STUFF Home run* accounted for three of the •even runs made In the Chioago-St. Lout* game in the latter’s stronghold. Kenneth Williams, who hit three homers on Satnrday, olllged with another yesterday. So did johnny Mottll of the Sox. Likewise, Johnny Tobin, who won the game for the Browns in the tenth inning with a drive Into the right field bleachers. The Pirates cln'tn thee have found the way to beat the Cubs. Just hammer the everlasting daylights out of the Chicago pitching. Good stuff, but not new The l’lrates got to Jones, Freeman, Kaufman and Stueland for twenty-two bits, winning, 14 to 3. The tnneb-opprewsed Reda took another one in the nape of the neck, young Gillespie being easy for the Cards. Horneby was not credited with a single time at bat. passus and sacrifice hits being liberal. Another well-pitched game, this time by Waite Hoyt, allowed the Yankee* to turn tiie Senator* hack for the fonrth time in succession, 3 to 0. A great throw by Fewster. doubling Judge at the plate, prevented the Senators from scoring in the first Inning. The Tigers won another gama from the Cleveland Indians, shoving the latter more firmly Into second place. Th* Indians outhit tb home club. Oldham relieved I'lllette and put on the thumbscrews when Cleveland threatened in the ninth. Ty Cobb Is still running his club from the bench. Making It six out of eight from the club that gava them the moat tronble last rear, the champion Giants again beat the Brooklyn Dodgers yesterday, 7 to 3. Nehf went the entire route for the Glanta and was supported in sensational style. The Dodgers looked bad by comparison. WASHINGTON CREW WINS.

Golf Association Puts Ban on Pools to Stop Gambling Betting on St. Louis Tourney Last Summer Causes Action to Be Taken. By HENRY FARRELL. NEW TURK, April 24. —Fearing the intrusion of the professional gamblers, the United State* Golf Association has put the ban on pools, Starting on a harmless scale among club member*, pool making stood out as a real menace at the Nailonal Aluateair championships In St. Louis last summer w hen professional gamblers started a big pool. Chick Evans waa the first one to point out the evil arising from poor sports among ticket holders who openly criticized play of their "man" on several holes, yne pool promoted by profeaslonal gamblers in St Louis Is said to have amounted to $5,000. Several others were for SI,OOO uud Deg amounts. The action of the association In prohibiting pool aelllng may cut down the practice to some ext. ut by stopping the sale of tickets around the courses, but the golf body will find the same problem in lighting the gamblers that other sports have experienced. Real golf sane and club members will respect the order of the association, but the professional gambler will work from the outside If he finds the game at all profitable. Tennis, long considered the purest of all sports, is not escaping tho taint of gambling although It is being afflicted less than any other sport. Betting on •ennls and rowing is done, however, on a rather “amateur basis " Many bets were made openly at the National tennis championships last season, but the weil kown figure with the derby hat, the half burned cigar In his mouth nnd the handful of bills did not make its appearance. Danger from the gambling in sport depends on the type of game. The most feckless gambler In tho world would never think of approaching a star tennis or golf player with an "offer." Gamblers In those sports are merely a nuisance to the spectator and an annoyance to tho competitors. Weissmuller to Honolulu HONOLULU, T. 11..

CHAMPION AND WILLS MAY BOX IN LONDON GO Mystery of Jack’s European Trip Cleared a Bit by British Cable. By DAVIS J. WALSH. NEW YORK, April 24.—1 tis all very clear now. When, a couple of business men like Messrs. Kearns and Dempsey set blithely forth on a pleasure tour of Europe, we raised the interrogative eyebrow and wondered who was going to pay the-luxury tax. Kearns and Dempsey are all for luxury, but they pay the freight from the gate receipts. The first intimation that the receipt was about to lift itself >upon a feeble elbow and look around for a home came yesterday. It came in the form of a cablegram from George McDonald, British promoter, to Dla Bollings, British fight manager now In this country. George wished to ask Dla what he might be able to do from this end of the wire about a Dempsey-Wllls fight in London. “Con you get Wills to come to London to box Dempsey. (signed) “George McDonald, Regent Palace, “London, Southwest.” Could Dla get Wills? It seemed entirely possible. Indeed Mr. Wills appeared quite enamored of the idea and suggested that he jnight become restive waiting for the next boat to sail. However, that wouldn't do at all. These sort of things will have to be “smoked up” with a bit of diplomacy and the hasty appearance of Wills in London might have the appearance of coarse work. The British would think the}’ were being rushed into something. Therefore, Wills and his manager, Paddy Mullens, were made to say that they would b* ready to sail on or about May la. By that time the groundwork for the bout, If any takes place, will have been carefully completed. London, Paris and the continent in general will have seen Dempsey and that irresistible boyish grin, the newspapers will have deplore-l the fact, over and over again that Europe has no man worthy of being sent into the ring with the champion, Dempsey will have studiously avoided the mis-step of appearing In anything but exhibitions, and, In short, the public will be clamoring for an opportunity of seeing the champion In action against a real opponent before he returns to America. Enter then the dark and fearsome Mr. Wills. Not before- That would be extremely bad business. He will just happen to appear upon the scene and Europe, which has no objection to mixed bouts, will be ready to listen to what he might have to say. He will be dareful in Ms choice of words and actions, this Mr. Wills. He will be quiet, restrained, polite and altogether persistent. And long before negotiations ara completed the young bloods of London will be lining up waiting for the box office window to open. That bout, if held, will draw big and p>ay big. Pleasure trip? Well, perhaps. And then again Dempsey may find himself In the position of the well and widely known bus driver who rode around on the front seat of his vehicle ou his day off.
