RAIN MARS GAMES IN TIMES INDEPENDENT BALL TOURNEY

RIRSIDtS A! RED SIX BATTLE TO HO I TIE Will Play Double Bill Next Sunday—Rain Caused One Postponement. Rain in parts of the city Sunday interfered to some extent with the games in the Times trophy tourney for the city independent amateur baseball title, but the teams got through the day with only one postponement and one tie resulting. Tl\e Riverside-Red Sox contest developed into the hot struggle predicted in advance and wound up with the score knotted, 1 and 1, seven innings. Due to wet grounds, the game was late in starting. Schmutte and Frye were the opposing pitchers and each twirled fine ball. Lots of Strikeouts Two new strikeout artists appeared in two other games of the afternoon. ” Sagalowski fanned seventeen batsmen of the St. Phillips team in eight innings, the Em-Roe No. 1 crew winning, 7 to 4. In the Maywood GrayBelmont contest, won by the Maywoods, 20 to 5, Martin of the winners breezed sixteen. The Vonnegut-Oliver match was the only game postponed, the diamond being loggy with mud. The tie game and postponed game will be played off next Sunday as part of double-head-ers. The Central A. C.s displayed unexpected strength Sunday when they trimmed the Meldons, the strong south side team, 9 to 3. Number of Teams Left Ten teams remain in the running for the championship, and the field will be reduced to four during next Sunday's contests. The schedule, assignment of diamonds and umpires will be announced Tuesday or Wednesday. It will be unnecessary to have a meeting this week, and managers of surviving teams are requested to bring their umpire fee for next Sunday to the Times sports department.

Here and There In Sportland By Dick Anderson

A YANKEE polo team triumphed over the crack team of Argentina in a match at Rumson, N. J.. recently. The playing of the .South American team was disappointing. land the team was expected to 8# clean everything 1 in sight. %. * J# Polo doesn't mean much to thrilling sport it is, hut one that -JSK requires an un- f'-.v usual amount of ANDERSON time and practice and considerable money. THE love for racing horses spreads over many a sphere. The recent purchase of a fast colt by Rear Admiral Grayson and one by Irene Castle, the noted danseuse, illustrates the wide range. The naval officer paid JS.OOO for his colt and the dancer gave $4,000. THE eajl for grid practice has resounded throughout the land. Stars of last year and those ; who aspire to star on the football field will soon be kicking the pigskin about on the many college gridirons. Football furnished many surprises last year and anything can be expected this year.

By Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 28.—A trick of the Ohio River many years ago is giving Indiana "the finest race track in the world.” To be accurate, the track will not be in Indiana ; proper, although on the Indiana side ! of the Ohio River. It will be in the part of Kentucky that is in Indiana. j Once upon a time the Ohio River I four miles above Evansville meandered away from its channel. Green , River Island, Kentucky, instead of j remaining midstream, became a part of the Indiana mainland. Kentucky, looking toward the rich i tax yield from the farm land on the , "Island,” proved that even though her ; island had deserted her It still belonged to her. Thus a part of Kentucky is in Indiana. Years passed. Kentucky became a great racing center. Latonia, Lexington. Churchill Downs are names known wherever j man has knowledge of horse racing. A fourth track was needed to comj plete the circuit. Western Kentucky ; was the logical place. But there is j no large city in western Kentucky nor is there a highway bridge across the I broad Ohio below Louisville. I A. B. Dade, one of the best known

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

race track starters in America, had an Idea. He lived In Henderson, Ky., ten miles from Evansville, Ind., largest city In the lower Ohio valley and with splendid hotel accommodations. Said Dade: "We'll build a race track in Indlhna." Indiana held up its hands in horror. Betting machines cannot be used in Indiana. , Dade, together with several associates, organized the Green River Jockey Club and bought most of Green River "Island" from Lee Baskett, a fellow townsman. Baskett was named president of the club. Before Indiana citizens could catch their breath the club had awarded contracts for the track, which will cost $300,000. First races will be held Oct. 17. The track, named Dade Park, is said by experts to be on the finest racing soil of any track In existence, due to deposits by the river. In order to keep out winter and spring Hoods a large retaining wall surrounds the 215 acres In the park. There will be a mile-and-an-eighth track, with two chutes —a mile chute at right angles to the concrete grand stand and a seven-eighths mile chute. The sixteen concrete stables, with thirty-two stalls each, already are completed, and a concrete highway and bridge over lowlands are under construction. There will be parking space for 2,200 autos. Thoroughbred racing at Dade Park will be conducted under the rules of the Kentucky racing commission, the head of which, Robert Hunter, lives in Evansville. The park will also be a member of the grand circuit for harness races. Visitors will see another peculiarity of the Ohio river when attending the races. Henderson is twelve miles downstream from Evansville, hut the shortest way is via the new race track—upstream and then cutting across. This is because the Ohio forms a cornplets temi-circle at Evansvilla.

BASEBALL COMMENT, GOSSIP Departure of Hill Weakens Tribe, But Helps Prospects Next Season—lndians Surprise Pans by Winning Three Out of Four. By EDDIE ABU Indianapolis fans were entertained by a few surprise parties over the week-end. They saw the Indians c ome out of their slump Saturday and Sunday and win three out of four games from the Senators. The Tribesmen perked up just wh en everybody expected them to slip down into the second division and, as a result, the team was still sticking In fourth place Monday.

Another Interesting event was the announcement of the transfer of Pitcher Carmen Hill to the New York Giants. Carmen held the Senators to four hits Saturday and scored a 2-to-0 shutout and that feat convinced John McGraw he was worth taking for a trial. Hill had been pitching good ball and had established himself as the Tribe's mainstay. Os course the staff is weakened by Hill's departure, but Owner Smith believes his team will gain more in players next spring than it could by keeping Hill here the remainder of the season. McGraw has promised to ♦urn over four players to Indianapolis next year if Hill makes good, otherwise the rigjithander will be returned. It was not a sale and not a definite trade. It’s a case of Indianapolis getting players if Hill makes good. The fans hope he is able to make the big league grade, because it is a wellknown fact that the Indians need plenty of new blood for 1923. The loss of Hill during September may mean the loss of a first division berth for the Indians, but there’s not a whole lot of difference between the first division and second division unless a club finishes first or second. The Indians were In Louisville Monday after enjoying their "winning streak" over the tail-end Columbus crew. The Colonels will be played Monday. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, after which the two teams will come to Indianapolis for the final games of the season at Washington Park. After dividing the double bill with the Senators Saturday, winning the first. 2 to 0. and losing the second, 5 to 3, the Indians stepped out Sunday and annexed two contests, 7 to 4, and 14 to 7. The Sunday attendance was held down because of threaten-

ing weather and a shower shortly after 2 o’clock, but the enthusiasm was there, nevertheless, especially during the batting rallies held by the home team. The Tribesmen got fourteen runs on fourteen hits in the closing contest Sunday, which was quite a contrast to what the team had been doing. Some ragged ball was played by both teams, but the fans enjoyed the run-making. Baird and Brown got home runs in the first game Sunday. Rogers Hornsby tied Ken Williams for home runs when he made his total thirty-two Sunday. The Cardinals lost to the Giants, however, in a slugging match. Keep your eyes on the Cincy Reds. They won a twin bill Sunday and arc threatening to overtake Cards and Cubs. CITY CHAMPIONS Brooksides and Broadways to Play Milwaukee in National Series. The Brookside Odd Fellows are city champions In Class AA of the Amateur Baseball Federation and the Broadway M. E. team is the Class A tltleholder, as the result of the final games in the title series at Pennsy Park. Both champs had easy times in winning the last contests. The Brooksides defeated the Crescent Paper Company, 20 to 1, and Broadway defeated the American Central Life team, 16 to 7. Broadway will go to Milwaukee on Sept. 9 and 10 in the national elimination series, while the Class A champs of Milwaukee come here to play the Brooksides at Washington Park on the same dates.

PHIL'S ATTORNEY DECLARES THEY WILL MT USE Asserts He Has Proof Leslie Mann Received ‘Fishing’ Letter. By United Tfetcs i NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—The case of Shufflin' Phil Douglas will not be permitted to rest with his permanent suspension, but will be fought In the ! State or Federal Courts if Judge Lan- ; dis for organized baseball does not ; mitigate the punishment meted out | to the former Giants’ pitcher. John Lauterbach, attorney for Douglas, told the United News that the next step was being delayed because of Phil’s mental condition, for which a nerve specialist now has Phil under observation. Lauterbach hinted at an attack on the legality of Landis' action, pointing out that Landis occupied the duel ! role of prosecutor and judge In the j Pittsburgh hearing. He is dissatisfied j also with the denial by Leslie Mann of j the Cardinals that it was he who re-' j received the Douglas “fishing” letter. Lauterbach has traced the letter which was sent by special delivery and ascertained, he says, that Mann did receive it. He has traced the telephone call from New Y’ork to Boston, also, he declares, proving that Mann discussed the letter with Phil.
