Tribe Returns Home for Long Stand, Open Thursday With Milwaukee

CAUSEY COMING IS EXPECTED TU USMANS Recent Defeats Leave Them in Third Place, but Not Far From Top. PLAYERS IN BATTING SLUMP Pitchers Have Had Lots of V Trouble and Breaks Were Against Them. Starting Thursday at Washington Park Jack Hendricks' Indians will begin a home stand that will extend until Aug. 28, and during that time Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Kansas City, St. Paul, Toledo and Columbus will appear in the order named. • It looks as though this string of contests on the home lot will tell the tale regarding where the Indians are going to place in the pennant race. Western Teams Going Big The long road trip that closed in St. Paul Tuesday was costly, but the fact must not be overlooked that the Indians bumped into the four western teams when each was at the top of its stride. The Indians are returning home in third place, but not far removed from the lqad position. The club has been suffering a batting slump and the pitchers have not been going any too well. The team is due to pick up in all departments and it looks like a case of do or don’t, starting with the burly Brewers Thursday. Pitcher Cecil Causey of the Giants is scheduled to don a Tribe uniform Thursday and he will be used in one of the Milwaukee games. Place Hopes in Causey He is a twirler of experience and accustomed to pitching under fire and doubtless will be able to brace the Tribe staff for the hot finish. The fans hope he is capable. He is needed. Asa result of the double defeat suffered at the hands of the Saints at St. Paul Tuesday, the Tribesmen dropped into third place in the standing, the Brewers moving up into the runner-up position, next to the leading Saints. „

HOME RUNS RESPONSIBLE Dressen in First and Haas in Second Beat Indians Twice. ST. PAUL, Aug. 2.—Home runs put the rollers under the Indians in the doubie-header wind-up of the IndianSaint series and the Hendrieksrren left St. Paul Tuesday night feeling groggy and glad to get out of these parts. The Saints annexed three out of the four games. After_ xhe first of the series the Indians fell into a batting slump and their attack was weak. In the first fracas of the twin bill Tuesday Hill and Benton engaged in a pitching battle and the Saints won it when Dressen hit a home run in the fifth inning. It was the only run of the game. Petty weakened in the sixth of the second grume and the Saints loaded the bases. Christensen was due at bat, but Manager Kelley substituted Bruno Haas. Mike guessed right. Bruno drove the ball on top of the skating rink in left field for a home run, four markers counting. The final score was 5 to 3.

GOLF AND TENNIS WILL AFFECT FUTURE BALL TALENT

By BIVVY ETAES What effect is the growing popularity of golf and tennis having on baseball? I have reference to its effect on the attendance at the games; also what part it may play in determining tho future standard of skill. There is no doubt that golf has weaned many a baseball fan from the game, particularly the middle aged or older fans. There comes a time in the life of every Individual where the need for exercise makes itself apparent. Golf is the ideal exercise. It offers fresh air in the outdoors, with plenty of exercise, yet lacking in strenuosity. Merely Amusement Baseball to the older fan offers merely amusement. Golf offers amusement plus exercise. Tennis, while it has become very popular, hasn't materially affected the attendance at the major league games. Big tennis matches are not daily occurrences, hence tennis, as a magnet for the crowds, does not cut in on baseball at all. Relative to the standard of play in the major leagues I am positive that sooner or later the growing popularity of golf and tennis is certain to have a serious effect. Golf lures many a youngster who otherwise would be spending his spare time playing baseball. The position of caddy at the golf links offers good pay. The boys are well treated. Most parents are delighted to have the youngsters spend the summer months as caddies. It

keeps them out of mischief. Incidentally they get time to play golf, and most of the clubs hold tourneys for the caddies. Two “Caddy” Champs. At the present time Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen are the two most talked about golfers in the world. They are ex-caddies. The success of these two great players Is an inspiration to every youngster. Most of them get tho championship germ and hope some day to emulate the deeds of Hagen and Sarazen. Tennis is a game that has a direct appeal to the youngsters. Neither golf nor tennis is affecting the attendance at baseball, but unquestionably the two sports are threatening the future standard of skill at baseball because each is luring so many youngsters from the ball field.

SAVE YOUR AUTO-TOP

Your auto-top costs considerable money to replace and is good for about two years, all told, if you "let it alone.” If you “WAXMUBH" it every six months, which takes from fifteen minutes to a half hour, it will last six or eight years, look good and stay good. You smear on the WAXMUSH with a hunk of cotton waste, or cloth, and In a minute or two rub off the excess, which brings out a black lasting luster. Requires no skill to use, just a matter of smearing on the soft WAXMUSH, and a dollar can Is enough to give a very large top two coats, a year’s supply. WAXMUSH is soft and mushy but it dries quickly, makes 'the top very black, waterproofs it and renews its life. You can use your car as soon as you have finished Waxmushing it, for It is then perfectly dry. It is the greatest stuff you ever saw, beats top varnish and all other jireparatlons made for tops and is far more lasting. You know how thread or cord is strengthened and waterproofed by waxing it, that is just what WAXMUSH does to your top and the surface looks almost like new. Rub your hand over the upper flat surface of your top and see if It is not commencing to get a little rough and dry, a sure sign that the life is leaving it. Unless properly treated it will soon become leaky and the material

PITTSBURGH GOT REVENGE ftFTER WAITING fl YEAR Drub Giants Four Straight and Even Up for Their Walloping Last Year. By WESTBROOK PEOLER. Vnited News Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Bellowing a rude and raucous roundelay about revenge, the pluperfectly priceless old Pirates of Pittsburgh wiped the i uddy smears from their bats, sheathed those weapons in the batbags and quit the Polo Grounds under cover of the Tuesday evening twilight, leaving evidence of fearful carnage on the Harlem River’s bank. They had squared up the awful grudge which had been rankling under their hirsute Pirate wishbones since that series late last summer which wiped out their lead, threw them off their swashbuckling stride and robbed them of a pennant. The Pirates are known as a singing ball club. Rabbit Maranville gargles a sassy second tenor and everybody knows what a second tenor can do with "Sweet Adeline," which is the Madelon of the Pittsburgh ball club. There were men on last year’s team who plucked more chords on their Spanish guitars than ground balls off the greensward and others who reached higher for midnight minors than for long afternoon fii“.‘! to the cigarette sign. The team came to the Polo Grounds with a lead t.f about nine gomes late last season and went away absolutely beaten, smashed, demoralized. Have Long Wait They waited a long time for their revenge but now they sing again. By taking Tuesday’s game in the shower* at the Polo Grounds, the Pirates made a four-straight sweep of the series with the Giants. They hauled them down to within half a game of | the St. Louis Cardinals whom the I Giants firmly pressed back to what seemed to be a respectful three paces by the four-out-of-five triumph of last week. The Pirates took the Giants’ pitchers its they came and whaled every man that John McGraw dared send to the Action Station. Tuesday's game was a 10-to j 2 slaughter and the total of runs scored in the scries was Pittsburgh, 37; New York 10. Over in Brooklyn the Cardinals were deprived of the chance to come abreast of the Giants when the ticket taker at Squire Ebbet’s meadow took a look at the pitiful slimness of the crowd and a simultaneous look at the gloomy skies, and called the game off because of rain, hoping for a fair day on which to hold a future doubleheader. ONE OF LIFE'S JOKES Amateurs Can’t Box Dempsey But College Ball Teams Meet “Pros." They disqualify amateur boxers for appearing in boxing exhibitions w;th Jack Dempsey because boxing Is under the control of the amateur athletic union authorities in this country and in Canada. Yet a college baseball team can play games in the early season against minor and major league teams where admission fees are taken up at. tho gate. Os course, the college ball players do not get any of these gate receipts, and then again the ath let;o authorities throw up their hands when it comes to making any real es fort to control baseball.

will rot away. Give it a good coat of WAXMUSH, which is not only the best top dressing made but the easiest to apply. If your car is ‘'black” you can use WAXMUSH on the body, fenders and wheels to protect the finish from the action of the sun and weather. It waterproofs either anew or old finish, puts on a thin protective coating and brings up a nice lasting luster. Mud and dust will then come off easily without injury to the varnish underneath. Why let the finish of your car become rusty, your top leaky and go to pieces when you can save both at so little expense and effort. WAXMUSH Is made by an old compounder who has had more than twenty years practical experience making wax compounds for protecting and renewing painted, varnished and dyed surfaces, a very careful man who thoroughly understands the work. WAXMUSH is not sold through dealers. We will send you a large full size can by parcel post prepaid, with all the simple directions for using, upon receipt of and dollar. Just enclose a dollar with your full name and address very plainly written or printed and we will know what you want. Address, The Waxmush Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. There is an opportunity for energetic men everywhere to establish a business of Waxmushing cars in their locality.—Advertisement.
