TICKLISH NINTH. BOT HINT POT TIMED IT Weaver Goes to Petty's Rescue and Saves Game With First Ball Thrown. By Timet Special MINNEAPOLIS, July 29.—1 t was a case of Harry Weaver to the rescue in the third contest of the TribeMiller series Friday, and Harry delivered like a home-town hero. Speeding along with the game well tn hand and the score standing 4 to 0 ; In their favor, the Indians nearly i taw their lead and victory capsized In the ninth. Jess Petty had gone along in sensational fashion for eight innings. He had outpitehed Hollingsworth, late of Pittsburgh, and had permitted the j Millers only five safeties. Homer by Brown in First Eddie Brown had put the Tribe on j the way to a grand start in the opening inning by clouting a home run j with Sicking on. In the fifth inning the Indians made their total three i and in the seventh they made it four. The victory looked Lke it was “in” I without much doubt. The ninth arj rived and the Millers faced their last | chance. Wade started it with a ! single and Magee did likewise. Conroy was rushed in to bat for Jourdan, a left-handed sticker. Conroy permitted the third strike to be called and the Millers created a rumpus over Umpire Murray’s decision. Mayer lined to Brown for the second out.

Tying Run Was in Third Defate got an infield hit that swiped Schreiber. It flustrated Hank and he threw wild to second and Wade scored. Rondeau then blasted a triple, sending Magee and Defate home, making the score 4 to 3 in the Indians’ favor, and Rondeau perched on third with the tying run. Schauer, a right-hand hitter was started to the plate to bat for Pitcher McColl. Manager Hendricks then called Weaver to the mound. Manager Cantillon re called Schauer and sent In Yingling. a left-hand batterup. Harry refused to quiver in the pinch and his first offering to Yingling drew a swing and the ball was popped to Covington for the gameending out. It was a nervous, but happy crew of Hoosiers that trudged off the field aftsr that thrilling sess.on. CLUB STANDINGS

CASE OF JESS A PUZZLE, BUT FANS PULL FOR HIM

By EDDIE ASH Southpaw Jess Petty nearly finished with a splendid victory for the Indians at Minneapolis Friday, but he couldn’t quite make the hilL Nearly over, but not. Harry Weaver had to go to the rescue. For eight innings Petty had a shut-out, then in the ninth he weakened. The tame old bad breaks pursued him. However, Jess got credit for the victory and for that the Tribe fol- i lowers feel elated. Jess has been popular with Washington Park crowds in the face of a poor pitching record. Couldn’t Get Started His case is one for the fans to puzzle over. First, he seemed unable to stay with the A. A. pace. He ! got many trials, but failed. Manager J Hendricks didn’t drop him, however, and used him occasionally. The fans lost confidence in the oitcher. Then his mates seemed to lose confidence and their support was ragged behind him. 1 Th.s caused a complete change of I attitude toward Petty on the part of ; the fans. They swung in behind him | again and on every opportunity they lent encouragement. Same in All Sports Same old story in baseball and in all sports. When an athlete becomes the under dog the rooters invariably have a change of heart and. start boosting him. Even though Jess failed to finish that game in Minneapolis Friday, he p.tched a whale of a game until the ninth. Perhaps he is on the way to a successful come back. The fans are going to get Petty our of the under-dog class if the power of good will and grandstand encouragement can do it. Manager Hendricks ; apparently was wise when he stayed

GOLFERS* • UP FOB STfiTE TOUfIIEf PIS! French Lick Course Thrown Open for Practice as Meet Approaches. During the next several days—to the start of the Indiana golf tournament, Aug. 14—the French Lick golf course will be thrown open to the Indiana golfers for practice. Several of Indiana’s best players, those who have thought themselves possessed of the ability to win, have been going the rounds that they may .know the golfing eccentricities of the course. The course, as it stands, is in the pink of condition, but is not at all easy to negotiate. The course is long, the putting greens are elevated and a longer shot is necessary to get home' than is thought by the approaching player. Frequent hanging lies are encountered and, besides, the course, up hill and down, over picturesque terrain, is physically hard to negotiate. All of State Stars to Enter Thirty-six Voles a day over dEffi French Lick course is about for human endurance. About all the golfing cracks of the State have said they will enter —Johnny Simpson. Btat echampion last year; Dan Sanders of South Bend, runner-up to Simpson; Bobby Resener of Kokomo, 1920 champion; Baxter Sparks of Terre Haute, pupil of Jim Barnes, and member of the Princeton University team: Ed Lennox, Eddie Zimmer and Will Diddel of Indianapolis, all former State champions, and Burr Sweezy of Lafayette, a former champion. Every Club in Competition ! Besides there will be Charlie Taylor of La Porte, who is always fighting it out for the honors. Kokomo will send others besides Resener. Goldfers will report from Marion, Richmond, Ft. Wayne. Logansport, in fact from every club that is a member of the State association, according to G. A.
