RAIN PREVENTS SECOND BATTLE WITH BREWERS Series Will Be Brought to Close Tomorrow —Indians Cop First. PETTY, PURCELL STaR No game at the ball yard this afternoon. Kain of the mornlnj caused the second contest of the Brewer-Indians series to be postponed and the series will be brougnt to a close tomorrow. The Tribesmen will collect their belongings and beat It north after 'The Wednesday contest and they will not return until they have made the rounds of the circuit. The Indians will help the Millers open their home season in Minneapolis Friday uud it is said club officials in the Flour City are making arrangements to handle a record crowd. The Millers have been going so good they have the fans back home excited and the Cantilloniies are due fir a royal homecoming. Jack Hendricks’ Indians got away to a fast start in the series opener with the Milwaukee Brewers Monday and put over a 6 to 1 victory. Jess Petty had something and Duly through the batting of Dick Gossett, forint r Indian, were the Brewers able to score. Dick got a triple and home run, his circ lit going over the low left field fence. This run was the first marker of the game and came In the fifth frame. When Dick got that homer the Tribesmen apparently decided they had better get busy at once and In the sixth they shoved around three runs. They cam* back with three more In .the seventh stanza and this lead put the game aaMy out of reach of the visitors. Harry i“urcell was the hitting star of the Indians with a triple, double and a single. Petty also got a triple, much to the surprise of everybody in the park. • In fact it was Petty who started the Tribe on its way, for he was first up in the sixth and when he uncorked that three sacker Pitcher I.ingrel of the Brewers weakened and three runs followed before he could retire the sld. The Tictory yesterday put the Indians nearer the league leading Millers, for over at Columbus the Senators upset the form sheet by defeating the Cantlllonites. Melillo, the Brewers new center fielder, had six putouts. Lober in right field didn't have a *:y ball :o handle. Each side pulled two double plays. The Indians are keeping- rignt after their twin killing reputation' The fans were liberal in applause for Dick Gossett, former Tribesman. Baird pulled up some in hitting by getting two safeties. He has been slow jn starting this season. Schultz hatted for Pitcher Llngrel in the seventh and singled. He was stranded, however. Kimpiing finished on the mound for the Brewers. Lear, Brewer second baseman, played lifeless ball. He appeared to be peeved over something. Baird and Purcell tried some daring base runniug and they got tv,-ay with it. It was one of Petty's good games. He had nice speed and twirled in a careful, effective manner. Jess seemed to possess ; great confidence and the Brewers apparently were made to feel that his \ southpaw slants were too much for them ' Hank Sehreiber played high class ball around the short fieid. It was Caret's turn on the mound today. The postponement caused by the showers leaves him still up for tomorrow i Rogge or Weaver will be usejl in the | Miller opener in Minneapolis Friday.

Reynolds-Buzukus Mat Bout to Be Refereed by Vet Farmer Burns Jack Reynolds will return to Indianapolis tomorrow, following his bout at Plymouth, Ind., tonight and will finish his training here for his match with Peter’Bnzukos, Greek welterweight of Ran Francisco, whom he meets Id the headliner of the mat card to he held at the Broadway Theater Friday night. Announcement was made today that "Farmer” Burns of Omaha, Neb., would referee this match. Jack is a protege of Burns, who gave the Indianapolis boy his first training in the wrestling game, and was pursuaded to come to Indianapolis to referee the match between Remolds and Bud’kos, which Is expected to be the toughest mixiip Jack has had here this season. "Farmer" Burns has not been seen In Indianapolis since the night twenty-four years ago when he iost his world's heavyweight title to Dan McLeod at the old Grand Opera house, which stood on the site of the present Keith's Theater. Although he is 62 years old, he Is one of the "wonder men - ’ of the age, his clean living and splendid physique making him apiiear as a man of fortyfive instead of over sixty. Burns is the only wrestler that ever held three championships at one time, holding the middleweight, light heavyweight and beavvweight titles simultaneously. On account of the fact that Buzttkos at one time defeated Reynolds, and Is considered one of the best men In the game today among the welterweights, interest In Friday night's clash is running unusually high. Promoter Barton reports a large advance sale for the show and It looks as if a packed house would see the affair. Pete Zbvszko and Hugh Webb of Terre Haute will meet In the seml-wind-up and another good preliminary Is being arranged to precede this match. College Baseball Georgetown. 8; Georgia Tech, 7.

celebrate when he heard that a Pemp-sey-Wills match was being smoked up In England. He shifted a cigar and remarked : “I can't see the use of leaving right array.’’ McDonald hasn't enough money to buy a ring for Dempsey and Wills to fight in and the big promoters of London who can be counted on a couple of fingers, seldom deal through an agent. Kearns being in Europe. London and Paris, promoters don’t have to cable over to learn if Wills would journey to London for a fight. Kearns knows that he would and Kearns has the authority to close for both Dempsey and Wills If he finds the right spot and the right cash on the other side. There is no doubt that Kearns and Mullins agreed on the essentials months ago. The only things remaining are the place, the promoter, and the cash. When Charles B. Cochrane, one of the few men 'n Europe able to swing such a bout, says he wouldn't consider it. and when Maj.

Purdue Stages Big Day With Bat and Maltreats Butler Wisconsin Gives Notre Dame Good Beating in First Irish Defeat. LAFAYETTE, lnd., April 25.—Purdue ran amuck here yesterday and using a baseball bat to good advantage slaughtered and mutilated Pat Page's b?>ys by a 15-to-5 score. Griggs, for Butler, was ineffective, and Purdue greeted him with a deluge of extra base hits. He retired in the fifth Inning after nine runs had been scored by the Boilermakers. Hooker finished the game for the Pagemen. Campbali, the I'urdue pitcher, on the other hand, pitched a fine game and had the Butler players completely baffled in the early Innings. Only eleven men faced him In the first four innings. Late in the game with his teammates possessing a commanding lead he eased up and Bugler counted twice in the fifth and three itrnes ill the ninth for their only runs. Blessing and Goett featured Butler's play the former hitting for the circuit in the ninth frame, while Goett contributed the fielding feature of the game ly making a remarkable bare handed stop of a hard-hit drive and throwing the runner out at first. Other Purdue stars in addition to Campbell, who cleaned the bases in the fifth frame with a two-base hit, were Wagner, W. Fawcett and K. Fawcett. Wagner led the Purdue batting spree with a single, a three badger and a home run. W. Fawcett hit for three bases while K. Fawcett collected two doubles. The two teams were to play here again today but rain made the game unlikely. Staton, who pitched Butler to two shut-out games In three days last week, was to oppose Wallace of Purdue. Wisconsin University broke Notre Dame's winning streak of seven straight victories Monday .at South Bend by humbling the Irish by a 9 to 1 score. It was the first home game of the season Rnd a dlsai>polntment after the successful Southern trip. Hoffman of Wisconsin wus too strong for Notre Dame and allowed only two hits. The Badgers collected fourteen off of Fahey and Mageveny. Falvey pitched the first eight innings.

Ruth Has Task to Break Record What chance has Babe Ruth to break his home-run record in 19227 Last season Ruth made 59 home runs, breaking his previous mark of 54. In 1920 Ruth made 54 home runs. That seemed to me a most extraordinary feat. I thought it would stand as a record for years to come. Yet the following season Ruth upset all the dope, and predictions of the experts, by knocking the old ball for 59 circuit drives. In 1921 Ruth took part in 152 games. He was at bat 540 times. That means he made one home run In every nine times at bat. Even If Ruth wasn’t under suspension until Slay 20 and was able to start the season, I don't believe he would top his mark of 69. The big fielder Insists he is shooting at 75 home runs. I am of the opinion (hat 59 home runs Is going to stand for some time. I have a number of reasons for so thinking. It is a certainty that the ball will not be so good this year. The pitching will be better. A number of pitchers will, have recovered from the handicap placed on them when freak deliveries were eliminated. The pitchers are going to work more carefully on Ruth. -I* -I- -I- *1- -I- -ILate Start Proves Big Handicap Ruth’B greatest handicap this year Is going to be his late start. year by May 20. the date for the raising of Ruth's suspension, Babe had twelve home runs to his credit. To make up for the loss of those dozen homers is going to be some task. However, In 1920, when Ruth set a record of 54 home runs he got away to a very poor start. During the month of April ho didn't pole a single home run. He broke into the home run column that year on the first of May and by the 20th had only five home runs to big credit. In addition the enforced layoff due to the suspension Isn’t ftoing to sharpen the Babe's batting eye. There is nothing like hitting against real pitching In actual competition to strike one's stride a the plate. I don't think Ruth has a chance to do any record smashing this year as far as borne runs are concerned. The big fellow, however, Is a superman aud does the seemingly Impossible. Ruth has one other ambition in baseball—he would like to load the American League In hitting. If he would make up his mind that smashing the home run record was out of the question this year and did more bunting, mixed them up, he would have an excellent chance to realize his ambition. One thing is certain, no matter when he makes his debut, Ruth will do many a thing this summer that will make the fans talk. lie’s the big thrill In basball.

Fans Given Plenty of Thrills in Bouts Between City Rivals Dalton Outpoints McMahon in Main Go—Glick and Bridges Battle Hard. Boxing fans were treated to plenty of thrills at the Broadway Theater last night, where bouts between local rivals featured the program staged by the Imperial A. C. In the ealn event of ten rounds, Jimmy Dalton outpointed Palsy McMahon; in the semi-final of eight rounds Sidney Click and Bobbie Bridges fought a sensational draw and in the preliminaries. Chuck Turner outpointed Jack Curley In six rounds and Bobble Ash stopped Bobble Harrison In one round. The fistic card drew a full house to the Broadway and the rooting of the fans during the semi-final and main go, became a constant din. Jimmy Dalton appeared to be In better shnpe than McMahon. who did not seem Inclined to cut loose until late In the bout. Dalton set a fast pace and rushed Patsy to the ropes DEMPSEY IS REFEREE. FARIS, April 25.—Jack Dempsey acted as referee and gave Billy Balzac the decision over Maurice Prunier after a twenty-round bout for the middleweight championship of Fra nee. many times, where he scored with right hand punches. A cut over McMahon's left eye was opened early in the scrap und this seemed to bother the south side boy for a while. Patsy's habit of falling back Into the ropes proved costly to his point total, for Dalton invariably followed him Into the ropes and scored. Patsy's best punch was a straight left In the open and a left hook in the clinches. Dalton did considerable rushing and was the aggressor most of the time. He didn’t slow down once and he had McMahon on the defensive a great deal. At one time Patsy seemed to slow down considerably after a siege on the ropes. McMahon steainpil up in the final round, but It was too late to overcome the lead Dalton had taken It was a hard fight and both boys were heavily backed by cheering followers. The Gllck-Brldges scrap was a thriller from bell to bell. Bridges had the advantage In weight, but Glick didn't mind It a single bit, and the way the boys fought had the crowd In an uproai throughout the eight rounds. First one boxer seemed on the point of gaining an advantage, then he would falter slightly and the other mauler would creep out In front. It was a battle worth while and the excitement was so great that the rounds seemed cut about in half. The rivals fought a somewhat different fight than on their previous meeting Glick did not use his straight left with (the same effect as at Tomlinson Hall. Sidney showed some Improvement, however, In general boxing skill, for he called on his right for better usage. Bridges did considerable boring In and often scored with lefts Glick seemed to be the stronger at the finish As for the damage, Bridges had a bruised eye and a puffed ear and Glick a scarred nose.

BIG LEAGUE STUFF When It comes to drawing fine decisions. award the gun-metal engagement ring to Speaker’s Indians.

The Reds lost their tenth game In eleven starts, the Cardinals winning. Ken Williams evidently Is out to annoy the Honorable B. Ruth as much as possible.

YANKS GETTING A GOOD START WITHOUT RUTH Huggins’ Club Winning Right Along, Although Not Aided by Babe’s Bat. GREAT PITCHING STAFF NEW YORK, April 25—Now that all of us has managed to work off a full head of hysteria upon the subject of Babe Ruth’s value to a ball club, jr.st how much does the esteemed Babe contribute to the success of the New York Yanks 7 As the most prolific Individual on record for driving in and carrying In runs last year, he was hailed as the greatest single factor on the Huggins’ payroll. Asa permanent box holder to date at local games, his value to the cause has been exactly nil; yet, the Yankees have gone out and won nine of their first eleven games, and unless we are grossly at fault, they will continue STAYS UP TO DANCE. PARIS, April 25.—Lee Matin today headlined Jock Dempsey, heavyweight cl tampion of the world as follows: "The man who doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn’t gamble—lt’s Jaek Dempsey—but goes to bed very late—because he loves to dance.” to play championship ball, Ruth os no Ruth. The Babe may have v>een Indispensable to the Yankees of 1921, but not to the team that is now front-running the American League. The answer is that Miller Huggins has assembled a different kind of a ball team this year. Gone :s the haphazard hit-or-miss machine that drove on ahead on the sheer power or its attack. That, club leaned upon Ruth and Bob MeuseP as an inebriate leans upon the most convenient lamp-post. But that kind of stuff is out now like the family cat at daybreak. Huggins has a stronger, younger and faster team on the field, a team that is making its breaks with a more diversified attack and a keener defense. Even the old-timers in the line-up hare come to realize that they are on their own merits and are playing up to the fact from first to last. The suspension of Ruth, in this respect, has been a windfall to players like Pipp, Schang, Baker, Fewster and others who hitherto have been forced into obscurity by the glare of Ruth's personality and ability. You can blame it on the pitchers, if you so desire. Certainly that “five-star” staff of Mays, Hoyt, Jones, Bush and Shaw key knows no superior in baseball, but the point being overlooked is that while this staff has been holding teams to low scores, the Yanks have been pulling out victories by one and two runs. They never did that in the old days when all of a dozen hits were often needed to score a couple of runs. With his star hitters out, Huggins simply went into the open market and took unto himself a fine defensive. The siainbang school, w'hich was never the Hugging style, is in temporary eclipse.
