BOXING ON TRIAL

Otto Ray, chairman of the Indianapolis boxing commission, stated Monday night that the glove sport here was in danger of being placed under the ban unless spectators show a better attitude during bouts. Cat-calling, hissing and other boisterous conduct on the part of a few rowdy ring fans must be checked at once or the professional glove sport will be stopped, he said. Permits for two more ring shows have been granted by the boxing commission and the boxing public will be on trial at these events.

One of the feature events on the racing card at the Indiana State fair this year will be the $2,000 Schloss Bros., Clothiers' stake for 2:12 trotters, which will be decided on Thursday, fair week. This big stake attracted a big field of high-class horses, many of which have been winning on the mile tracks and important two-lap track meets, and It should prove one of the best races of the week.

BASEBALL COMMENT, GOSSIP

Johnson Makes Wise Move In Checking “Stalling” Tactics —Baird and Yerkes Star in Louisville Opener—Other Sport Chatter. By EDDIE ASH Ban Johnson, president of the American League, is to be congratulated on the action he took against the Yankees and White Sox for delaying the unfinished game of Aug. 1. He fined Manager Huggins and four New York players and three Chicago players on the charge of "stalling.” The unfinished contest was played in Chicago under threatening weather conditions, and when rain started to fall in the early innings the false moves on the part of the teams occurred. Chicago was leading 5 to 1 when the .

Yankees were batting in the last half of the fifth and the Sox tried to hurry the fracas and the Yankees tried everything to delay the progress of play In order to make it no contest. The umpires finally were forced to stop play before the Yankees completed their time at bat in the fifth, and it went as an unfinished game. The fans were not treated fairly by the tactics employed by the teams, baseball was given a blackeye for the day and It was wholly a case of “jockeying.” Too much of that has occurred In the past. President Hickey has just about stopped such tactics in the American Association by imposing heavy lines, and baseballdom is glad to see the American League bear down hard in an effort to check the trick in the majors. Milwaukee turned on the Millers Monday and evened the series. Schultz’s hit In the ninth decided it. Reb Russell struck out three times against the Dodgers, but Max Carey, Pirate mate, saved the day for Pittsburgh by some remarkable playing. The Yankees edged out a little in the hot American League race by winning over the rival Browns in eleven Innings. Bob Shawkey and Urban Shocker staged a whale of a pitchers' battle. Bob winning the decision, though slightly wild. Johnny Dundee continues to pile up victories and wealth. The junior lightweight champion easily outpointed Pepper Martin in New York Monday night. Johnny weighed only 124 Vi. which ind cates he is trimming himself down to go after the featherweight crown of Johnny Kilbane. Oscar Charleston. A. B. C. “Ty Cobb,” whaled out his twenty-second homer of the season In Cleveland Monday in the wind-up game with the Tate Stars. Jack Hendricks' Indians were scheduled to tangle up In a doube-header with the Colonels at Louisville Tuesday, weather permitting. A second twin bill will be staged Thursday, giving the teams vacations Wednes-

FAST HORSE ENTERS FAIR RACES

The Omaha, Neb., trainer, Marvin Childs will start his crack trotter, The Triumph 2:07V4, in this race. The Triumph was one of the surprise trotters at the early meetings on the Grand Circuit, and since turning Westward, has been performing in rare style over the half-mile tracks. He won a corking race at Davenport, lowa, where he trotted in 2:O9Vi, and

day and Friday. The ponies start ’ galloping again at Churchill Downs Wednesday and the Indians and Col- ' onels changed their program for that reason. The Tribesmen annexed the series opener at Louisville Monday, 6 to 6, Harry Weaver getting the pitching edge over Ben Tincup. Baird starred at the bat with two triples and a double and displayed more ambition than has been his habit recently. Steve Yerkes was the shining light on the defensive for the Indians, when he accepted thirteen out of fourten chances at second base. The victory gave the Tribe four victories out or the last five games played. If they continue that speed the Indianapolis fans will welcome them with open arms when they return home Saturday. The leading Saints stopped the Flues again when they had a big inning in the sixth. It was another victory for Tom Sheeltan. He did not allow Bunny Brief, home run slugger, to get even one safety.

SPLENDID GOLF IS EXHIBITED IN TOLEDO IDIM! Public Links Players Show Stuff in National Championship Meet. ! By United .Vncs TOLEDO, Aug 29—That American j public links golf courses are turning j out some of the most sensational golf I ers in the country was evident hero Monday when the boys who learned their game waiting their turn at public links met in a champonship tournament.

SEMI-WINDUP IS FEATUREOFSCRAPS IT TOMLINSON'S Sidney Click and Jackie Barnhart Mix Things in Lively Fashion. Two interesting bouts and a clinching match comprised the fistic entertainment at Tomlinson Hall Monday night. It was a card of ten-rounders staged by the Washington A. C. and there were thrills a-plenty, even if the wind up affair did turn out to be a slow event. The hot stuff bout was the second on the program between Jackie Barnhart of Terre Haute and Sidney Gllck of Indianapolis, two youthful lightweights. In this scrap the fans were kept in an uproar by the terrific milling and the rivals fought at such top speed that there was little to choose between them when the closing bell sounded. Douglass Wins In the first bout of the evening Bljly Douglass of New York apparently deserved the verdict over Ray Rivers of Los Angeles. Billy did the leading most of the distance, and though he took many Jabs to the face, he never faltered and kept boring In and made it a fight. The wind-up bout between Jimmy Dalton and Happy McHenry went the limit of ten rounds and ringsiders figured it was a draw. There was too much clinching, pulling and infighting. Dalton boxed with a bandaged left arm. A. B. C.S WIN AGAIN Swamp Tate Stars in Slugging Match —Charleston Gets Homer. By Timet Special CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 29.—The A. B.

BROTHERTUTTO MEET WILES IN 15RRUND BOOT Jackson Carries Wallop and Wills Must Beat Him for Chance. By WESTBROOK PEOLER, United Xetct Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—Brother Tut Jackson of Washington Courthouse, Ohio, is a boy who uses screen coal for shaving powder, two-inch cable for shoestrings, block and tackle for suspenders and the discarded maintops of the Ringling boys for his shirts. Brother Tut is a black boy, a big boy, and he’s tough. William McCarney, who had Luther McCarthy and a potential million, back in the white hope days, and hasn't had any luck since an accidental punch snapped Luther’s spinal column out in the Pacific Northwest, is responsible for Brother Tut Jackson. William heard about Brother Tut when Tut got into a fight with Sam Langford, down South somewhere, and simply devastlcated the devasticatin’ bear-cat from Boston. William cocked an ear toward Washington Courthouse. Then Brother Tut was matched to fight Jack Johnson down there in Washington Courthouse, and received some publicity during the ensuant negotiations which resulted In the abolition of the match. Fight at Ebbets* Field Tut Is scheduled to fight Harry Wills at Ebbets’ Field Tuesday night. Every one of the forty-some fighters who have raised their fists to him In a year’s career has been knocked cold as a corporation Judge. A couple of the boys escaped in one bout, but were squashed Into the rug In return matches. Brother Jackson Is to go fifteen rounds or less with Wills. He Is a man of tremendous strength and Is loose muscled, which makes for hard punching. Wills must win this bout in order to get that match with Jack Dempsey for which he Is signed. If Jackson should win he probably would have to go through the tedious routine of knocking out Kid Norfolk, Bill Tate and the Jamaica Kid before qualifying for Dempsey. KITTENBALL TITLE GAME Brightwood and Garfield Girls Meet at Riverside Park. Viola Duckworth, the "Babe Ruth" of the City Kittenball League and her Brightwood team of girls were scheduled to meet the Garfield Park girls in a game to decide the city championship, at Riverside baseball diamond so. 1, at 2 p. m. Tuesday. Miss Duckworth has a record of eighteen home runs this season, and the Brightwood team has made on an average of thirty-three runs a game. Kittenball is played under a combination of indoor nnd outdoor baseball rules. An Indoor baseball is used, but the game is played on an uitdoor diamond.
