By EDDIE The Indianapolis ball club is trying to land Pitcher Bob McKinsley, one of the hurlers In the twenty-inning scoreless game played at Akron. Ohio. Sunday. He is a southpaw and has been twirling in a spectacular manner all season in the Akron Industrial League. McKinsley allowed only five hits in the twenty innings Sunday and fanned thirty-three. He is a member of the Firestone nine, one of the strongest industrial teams in the country.

Reports from Akron Monday stated that McKinsley was lined up for a trial with the Cleveland American League team, but Indianapolis club officials say they had obtained a promise from McKinsley to join the Hoosiers before Cleveland dickered with him. W. C. Smith, Jr., vice president of the Indians, went to Akron Monday to try to land the player. If Cleveland grabs him. Smith intends to take the matter up with Commissioner Landis and try to prove that Indianapolis holds priority claim in dealing with the pitcher. If the Indians are fortunate enough to land McKinsley It will mean a big start in the bolstering of the Tribe hurling staff for next season. The Toledo Hens were to open their their final series of the season at Washington Park Tuesday afternoon in a double header with the Indians. The Hens have been showing signs of strength recently and it looks like another hard round of games for the Tribe. The poor old Senators got knocked off again Monday, losing to the Colonels. The other A. A. teams took a day off.

Ns

This is Dave Rosenberg, middleweight champion of New York. That is to say, he’s champion by virtue of the State boxing commission's decree. The commission ruled that Johnny Wilson had defaulted the title by disregarding challenges the members considered he should have accepted. Rosenberg was next in line. How much respect the public will have for championships won thus remains to be seen. They're good only in New York State.

ENLARGE BRUSH STADIUM New York Management Announces Plans for Increasing Seating Capacity. By United Newt NEW YORK. Aug. 22.—Brush stadium, the famous grand stand at the Polo grounds in the lee of Coogan’s bluff, is to be remodeled and enlarged. Plans have been filed In the bureau of buildings for anew threestory, fireproof stand, which would give the fans an additional deck of seats and greatly enlarge the present seating capacity, which is fewer than 40.000. The new plans would swing back Babe Ruth’s favorite right field wa.ll for a considerable distance, and probably would compel sluggers to hit their homers beyond the reach of the outfielders.

PHIL DOUGLAS MAY sue ram fir HEAiITJAMAGES Attorney Says Amount to Be $300,000 Unless Hearing Is Granted. fly United Newt NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—The Idea of crippling the Giants by deserting them when they had greatest need of him, was original with Shuffln' Phil Douglas and was not implanted by gamblers or other outside influences, his attorney, Edward Lauterbach, said Monday. Lauterbach insisted, however., that Douglas was in a “dopey” and sluggish mental condition at the time, due to his recent treatment in a sanitarium. Lauterbach said Douglas could have named his price to sell out during the world series with the Yanks last fall. The Shuffler refused, however. Douglas, clean-shaven, well-dressed and apparently recovered from the after-effects of his recent experience*, called on the lawyer in the afternoon. Mrs. Douglas wan with him. She plainly showed the traces lof care and worry. Keeps Silent While awaiting word from Judg® Landis on Phil’s appeal for a reopening of the case, Douglas will say no more, his lawyer said. Phil is- appealing on the ground that he wa not permitted to have counsel at the meeting in Pittsburgh, at which he was expelled from organized baseball. Lauterbach later said that If the National League and Commissioner Landis did not give Douglas a chance to vindcate himself in a hearing with counsel to direct his case he would bring suits against the league and the Giants for a large aggregate amount. It might be as high as $300,000, he said. CHICAGO —Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, left for Los Angeles to spend a short time at hi home before resuming his exhibition tour.
