ELM DECIDE AMATEUR DIAMOND TITLE Only Independent Teams Can Compete for Big Trophy. FIRST GAME AUGUST 13 Interest is growing rapidly in the third annual Times City Independent Amateur Baseball Tournament, and managers o i teams are now asked to file their entries for the event. The entry blank carried in the Times today must be filled out and mailed or brought to the Times sports desk. It is planned to start the elimination affair Sunday, Aug. 13, and games will be played every Sunday thereafter until one team remains undefeated. The victor will receive the Times trophy, emblematic of the city independent championship. No Age Limit The tourney is open to all teams not affiliated with leagues of the city amateur association. There is no age limit, but due to the class of teams entered In the two previous tournaments, it is hardly an event for the junior nines of the city to compete in. When all entries are received a meeting of managers will be called and the rules of the tournament discussed. At that time managers will be asked to file the names of their players. Each club is permitted fifteen players. and additions or changes can not be made after the player roster is filed with the tournament directors. Last season thirty-two teams competed in the event.

GEORGE BURNS No player on the Cincinnati club has done better work for the Reds this year than George Burns. Burns has taken the place of Eddie Roush, Cincinnati favorite, and filled It most acceptably. He has been a lifesaver for the Reds, while the Giants have missed him greatly. Burns was obtained by Cincinnati from New York last winter in a trade that took Heine Grob to the Giants. Unquestionably he Is one of the greatest outfielders in the history of the National League.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DPTD HURLERS TD FIGDI I! OUT OF SLUMP Only Remedy at Present, Is Way Hendricks Views Situation at Minneapolis. By Time Special MINNEAPOLIS. July 27.—Indians and Millers again today. Manager Hendricks indicated Hill would be his choice tor pitching duty. The Tribe boss was plainly worried ! today over the recent weakening of his hurling corps, but he took a broadminded view of it and said the boys simply would have to fight their way back to form. In the series opener with the Millers Wednesday Pug Cavet took a lacing and the locals won, 8 to 3. The Millers found the veteran southpaw's curves to their liking and collected sixteen hits. Included was a home run by Magee. The Magee circuit smash came in the first inning and put the Tribesmen under a disadvantage right off the bat. By fighting hard the Indians managed to tie the score in the fifth, but the Millers again rallied and drew out in front for a safe lead. Rube Schauer was found for nine hits, but he refused to be rattled to any extent and the Tribe could not break through his good defense. The Indians had the bases filled in the ninth, but the timely hit was not forthcoming.

By F.DBIP. ASH Big treat in store for Indianapolis aquatic fans when the big events are I staged in the Broad Ripple pool Aug. 10. 11 and 12.

A. U. officials j that he intends to make Johnny Weiss j muller, champion of 'em all. paddle ! lively. Blake Is especially desirous of grabbing the 220 yard title laurels from the Chicago phenom and, though he may not achieve such a great feat, he may be able to force Weissmuller to set a record. At any rate Indianapolis is going to see many nationally known swimmers in action and the men behind the meet are making every effort to make it the greatest aquatic event In the city’s history. Water sports are on the boom In Indianapolis as recent events staged by the Hoosier Athletio Club brought out. During the two-mile river swim the bunks were lined with spectators along the course. In the pool con- j tests held later Broad Ripple again was the scene of a largo gathering of aquatic followers. Did you notice what those former Yankee bench warmers recently traded

—— Star Gazer Dopes Lew Will Lose Fi y United A' etc § NEW YORK. July 27.—There weren't many stars visible on the night Lew Tendler was bom and therefore Leftlo Lewie will see more than plenty In his fight with Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, in Jersey City. Thursday night. Such Is the way of the stars, according to the scientific deductions of Prof. Gustave Meyer, the Hoboken stargazer who made his reputations three years ago by assuring tho world that Jersey would never go dry. By the signs of the infallable Zodiac, by the signs of that goat, the crab and the sting-tailed scorpion. Professor Meyer predicts that Leonard will beat the Philadelphian. ‘‘Benny had the martini planet, Mars, In friendly aspect to the sun at his birth." the professor explained. “At Tendler's birth Mars was badly pspected to the sun.

LEONARD DAS < [DDE DN DOPE FDD TULL BOUT Scheduled to Meet Lew Tendler in Jersey City in 12 Rounds. By WESTBROOK PEGLER, United Xews Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK. July 27.—As the fighters rest awaiting the hour to weigh in for the richest championship battle ever promoted at weights below the heavyweight, the eastern sporting populace has forgotten temporarily that the horses are running at Empire City and that the New York and St. Louis Clubs in both leagues are at each other’s throats in contests for the pair of pennants. Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, took just enough exercise Wednesday to keep his muscles flexible and Lew Tendler of Philadelphia, his left-handed opponent for Thursday night's 12-round no-de-cision fight In Jersey City, also refrained from all but the lightest work. An awkward but fairly scientific left-handed boxer with a heavy left punch to the body describes Tendler. His record does not prove him -A knockout swatter against first men. But he got into a noisy personal squabble with Leonard by seizing Leonard’s appearance forfeit of $5,000 when the camp failed to meet him In a fight arranged for a year ago. claiming that he had broken his right hand. The boys called each other “piker” for the next six months and suddenly discovered that they had aroused about $500,000 worth of interest in their quarrel. That was when Rickard stepped in. He confidently expects the receipts to exceed $400,000. The "daylight” battery of electric lights with a silver reflector, which hung above the ring at the ‘LeonardBritton and Lynch-Buff battles in the metropolitan velodrome, has been installed in the Rickard bowl. This is the first night fight ever held there and only the third one since the arena was thrown together to seat 90.000 people at the Dempsey-Carpentier bout. The other was the petting polka between Johnny Wilson and Bryan Downey. One wager of $6,000 to $2,000 was recorded in Wall St. that Leonard will either knock out his man or receive the decision in the majority of the newspapers. “I'll win by a knockout witn a right to the jaw, my usual punch, within eight rounds.” Leonard ventured to say. Tendler wouldn't call the round or name the blow, but ho also promised to knock out somebody. Rocky Kansas, who whipped Tendler and was whipped four times by Leonard, picks the champion to sto his man in seven rounds. ™ menials Washington and Delaware Sts. Clothing for Men and Boys.
