TRIBE PUSHED TO HOLD LEAD Millers Gain as Result of Monday Games—Jonnard Due Today. Clinging to first place In the A. A. race hy a single point the Indians today were expected to forget the reversal of form that knocked 'em out Monday and try to turn back the hustling Saints in the fourth of the series. Big Claude Jonnard •was slated to do the Tribe pitching and the tall right hander was out to annex his eighth straight victory. Some ground was lost by the Indians as a result of the outcome of the Monday games here and in LouisTille, the Saints defeating the Uendrlcksmen, 8 to 2. and the Millers downing the Colonels in an eleveu-lnniDg match at Louisville, \\ hen Henri Rondeau cracked one on the button for the circuit. The Tribesmen had a slump in fielding Monday and also were puzzled by the good pitching of Rube Benton, who held the locals to eight hits. Krueger got two of the eight safeties and lex Covington pot the Tribe's only extra base smack when he tripled Sicking home in the first inning. The Tribe's only other run came in the eighth when a tit, 1 aui error helped. „ An error in toe outfield put the Saints on their way to two runs in the third inning and another error gave them a third run in the fourth. Five misplays behind Cavet during the contest put the game •well within possession of the Saints and also bad a tendency to cause Cavet to ease up in the box. Asa result the Saints totaled fifteen hits during the afternoon. , . . „ The Indians had trouble with the umpires again and there seemed to lie sound reasons for creating a fuss. Doug Baird finally was banished from the game and his removal forced a big change in the Tribe line up, Rehg changing from left field to third base, Purcell going to right field and Brown shifting over to left. Fusing with the umpire uset the usual hard hitting style of the home crew, and it was an easy matter for the Saints to trot off with the day's honors. Perhaps the lax playing was due to a let-down after the double victory of Sunday for a few of the athletes did not seem to be in the proper mood to battle at their best. But today was another day and there was expected to be a better spirit in

Indian circles. The attendance Monday was encouraging and the attendance this afternoon was expected to be even better.. The race Is warm and thrilling and the | fans are worked up to a point now where they stay until the last man Is out and pull for victory In regular old-fashioned pennant-rooting style. When the game looks hopeless Walter. Rehg continues to shout and try his hardest. Walter is not affected by temparaxuent. He's In there all the time, boots ! or no boots. Doug Baird apparently had second base stolen when T’mplre Connolly; called him out. Pouz then proceeded to j get himself kicked out of the game. j Hank Schrelber struck at a wild pitch for the third strike and Umpire Paly called it a ball. The Saints kicked and Italy reversed h!s decision, leaving liank the “goat" for he had stopped running when he heard Paly say “ball.'’ Pitcher Bentor had seven assists, which means he had something puzzling. Clyde 'Telb batted for Cavet In the ninth and singled. Some feat, that. A pitcher acting as pinch hitter and getting a bit. Baird make a fine running catch of a foul bail hit by Boone in the fourth. It was “kids’ day” and the small boys made plenty of noise despite the Tribe defeat. The forward-looking fan is buying tickets now for next Sunday's MillerTribe clash. Veteran Joe Rlggert got four hits for the Saints. Goivln and Haas each got three. Two of Golvin’s safeties were doubles.

SECOND DAY OF ENGLISH MEET Jock Hutchison Qualifies for Title Rounds Barnes Stages Big Comeback. BY WILLIAM J. HUNTER. Former British Amateur Golf Champion. SANDWICH, England, June 29—Jock nutchlson of Chicago, defending his title of British open golf champion, today assured himself of a place In the championship play by returning a 78 or the final eighteen holes. This, with Hutchison's 71 of yesterday, breaking the course record, gave him a medal score of 149 for the thirty-six holes. Hutchison did not play nearly as brilliantly as ho did yesterday, although he did fairly well In making the turn in 38. His direction was bad at times, however, and twice his ball sought the bunkers that await the unwary. Jim Barnes, however, staged a brilliant come-back after his mediocre round of yesterday by scoring a fine 72 for a medal score of 154. The American champion started out* at a remarkable clip, being three under fours for the first nine holes. He required exactly five putts for the first five holes. In addition, Barnes’ long driving was a distinct feature and his recoveries from traps was brilliant. Joe Kirkwood, the Australian, also shot a 72 today, and took the lead among the early scorers with a total of 147 for the two' days’ play. „ .. . I Although Hutchison total strokes failed ; to equal Kirkwood's It was evident that , Jock was not exerting himself to the utmost. His play indicated that he was : striving merely t • make his qualification secure. Owing co a misunderstanding with his caddy, Jock once became trapped because he was unaware of the proximity of a bunker. He took three putts at the eighth and topped his drive at the seventeenth but otherwise his play was sound, although It was apparent that he was not tjisposecl to take unnecessary risks. His card follows: Out 544 543 544—38 In 444 554 455—40—78 Harry Yardon returned u card of 80, which, coupled with his score of 72 yesterday gives him a total of 152 for the qualifying round. Ted Buy of England, who won the American open title at Toledo in 1920, returned a card of 75 for today’s 18-hole round, giving him a grand total of 150 for the two days' play.

Ryan-O’Dowd Bsut Here July 3 Looks Like Sure Thriller Botlu Boys Rated High in Bantie Ranks — O’Dowd Has Decision Over Taylor. The Bud Taylor-Herbie Schaeffer bantam bout at. Washington Park last week was good, but the Tommy Ryan-Kddic O’Dowd bantie scrap at tho ball park the night of July 3 will be better, according to the opinion expressed by local fistic followers. Ryan aud O'Dowd are rated higher in the bantamweight ranks and are more experienced. Ryan hails from McKeesport, Pa., and he is a whale of a mixer. He was outpointed by Joe Burrnan In a sensational bout Derby night at Louisville, but he gave Burrnan all he could handle and was in the action every second. . O’Dowd is tho boy who gave Johnny Buff, present bantam title holder, a great tight in New York a year ago. barely losing the judges’ decision after twelve rounds of sensational fighting. He also holds a newspaper decision over Bud Taylor, gained in a scrap In Louisville, July 18 last year. Ryan is scheduled to arrive here this week and go Into hard training. Tommy hopes to get himself established here for future bouts if he beats O'Dowd for he believes Indianapolis to lie a growing boxing elty and of greater posslblllties than McKeesport. : Tom Dillon, matchmaker of the Progress Athletic Club which will stage the Kyan-O'Dowd bout.

Billy Evans Says

Babe Ruth has given up any hope that he may have had of breaking his 1921 record of fifty-nine home runs. While Babe was on the suspended list during April and May I talked that question over xvith him. At. that time he believed that if be got off to a good tasrt he might better fifty-nine. It is a matter of record that nothing helps the batting eye as much as real pitching in actual competition. Babe did a lot of practice hitting between the opening of the season and the raising of his suspension, out the old batting eye xvasn't properly trimmed. Ba.be soon discovered that the pitching he had faded In batting practice in no xvay compared to the real stuff. Asa result lie was slow in hitting his stride. Recently In St. Louis, Babe cracked out his sixth home run of the year, his third in three days. It was a terrific drive that cleared the right field wall by thirty feet. Just before the game started the next day I remarked to Babe, “What about | breaking the old mark of fifty-nine home runs'/” He smiled broadly and replied, “I have Reynolds Grapples With Hindoo Star in Last Bout Here THE CARD TONIGHT.

just about decided that fifty-nine home runs is going to stand for 1922. I bad hopes that I might smash it, but have decided It Is a bit too much for me to shoot at.” I agreed with Babe that to break his mark of fifty-nine homers after a six weeks’ suspension was practically an impossibility. However, don't get the impression that Babe is ready to turn his home-run crown over to someone else. “While I don't expect to break my mark of fifty-nine,” continued the Babe, “you can tell the world that I will top the home-run hitters In both the American and National Leagues when they ring down the enrtain. “I don't know how many home runs 1 will need. It may be twenty and It may be forty. Whatever It is I will make them. I will still be the home-run king at tbe close of the 1922 season. "1 fully expect to be out in front by Aug. 1. Once I am out in front the boys are going to hax-e a hard time catching me Spotting hitters like Williams and Hornsby a dozen home runs is some handicap, but I feel that I will prove equal to it.” BIG LEAGUE STUFF The Cards made further Inroads Monday upon the Giants* margin of safety at head of National League procession by beating ihe 4 humps for tlie second time In succession.

The Dodgers came from the rear in the ninth with a four-run rally, tying the score, and then beat the Pirates In the fourteenth, 6 to 5, when Wheat's single sent Johnston home from second.
