Indians Open Long Jaunt Thursday With Colonels in Louisville

Two Postponements With To ledo Hens Here Prove of Benefit to the Injured Members of Depleted Tribe Squad, ELKS* ROOTING PARTY READY FOR KENTUCKY VISIT Smith Continues Search for Talent to Bolster Team as His Athletes Face Extended Campaign Through West, It's a bum snow that doesn’t help somebody. Weather sharps and average citizens caret figure any benefits Mo be derived from a snowstorm in May, but the Indianapolis ball i team can. The more it snows in May. the less games the Hoosiers | play, and the less games the Hoosiers play the less defeats they’ ! suffer.

No game at Washington Park Tuesday, no game at Washington Park today. The Toledo Hens packed up their luggage this morning and made ready to slide out of town this afternoon. The two postponements were welcomed by the Indians. They are crippled and short of hired hands. Owner Smith started nit re telegrams ! over the wires Tuesday night search I lng for talent. Anew infielder may jbe obtained shortly. Bring him on! Why Postponements Help The two days’ rest helped the inI jured digits of Sicking and ChristenI bury and brought Jay Kirke that ; much nearer recovery. On Thursday | the Indians open their long road trip | at Louisville and they will be away from home until May 30. They will visit Louisville and the four western A. A. cities before returning to Washington Park. The athletes are rather pleased to hit the road at this time because playing before the home fans with a crippled line-up hurts their pride. They are confident something will happen during the remainder of May to pull them out of the rut. And if they strike a winning streak on the road they will not have cause to worry when they return. The fans 1 will be out In force May 30 to shout i “howdy." The Elks’ Party Bad weather halted the Colonels and ! Senators in Louisville Tuesday and reports from there today Indicate,! \ there was not much change. The Indianapolis Elks have a gala day scheduled In the Colonel city Thursday as a part of the celebration the Louisville Elks plan to stage on the first 1923 visit of the Indians to their city and the local Elks were worried today because of the liklihood of their big party being damaged by the elements. They have arranged for a special train, but of course this can he cancelled If Louisville weather reports Thursday morning indicate gloom. The Tribe hall tossers are scheduled to depart early Thursday morn- ; ing and the Elks’ party four hours | later. Minneapolis. St. Paul and Milwaukee have voted against the proposal of the Indianapolis and Toledo clubs 1 that the league ban be lifted on taking players from the majors on option. according to information received from Chicago today. Kansas City, Louisville and Columbus had not announced their stand on the question up to noon today. It is not thought Kansas City will vote for a change and Owner Smith of the Indians expressed the opinion thot his proposal appeared lost. This means the Indians wall have to scurry around and obtain aid wherever they can. At best it. means they are in a bad way, for the present, at least.

GIBBONS READY FOR DEMPSEY THINKS CHANCE IS HERE WAITED FOR OPPORTUNITY WILL FIGHT, NOT BOX

By TOMMY GIBBONS (Challenger of Jack Dempsey) Written for the Lhiitea Press. ST. PAUL, Minn., May 9. Every one is asking me what prompted me to sign up with Jack Dempsey for a heavyweight championship bout in Shelby, Mont., on July 4. It seems to lie the general opinion that I am sure to lose or those questions would not be put to me. Every one has the ambition to reach the top in his profession and for years T have had the ambition to become the heavyweight eh am (>ion. So when the opportunity came 1 felt that 1 was ready for the best bid T could make, f accepted. I think my record of thirty victories in thirty four bouts by knockouts wi 1 be sufficient proof that I also have a punch. The force of the punch does’nt mean so much, because it counts just as much to put an opponent down for ten seconds as i tdoes for 110. Tt is said that I am a bettor boxer than Dempsey and T believe I am. But T am going into fight Dempsey and not to box him. For three years I have been point ing for this chance. I never bothered Dempsey with challenges and I made no effort to get a match with him until I felt certain that the time had arrived and that I was in my best possible form. I feel that way now and for that reason I accepted the bout.

CLIFF DURANT ARRIVES IN TOWN TO TAKE CHARGE* OF HIS SPEEDWAY TEAM i Murphy, Hartz, Hearne and Duray Among Stars Entered — Newcomer to Race Is Harlan Fengler, Mechanic for Second Place Driver Last Year, Cliff Durant, "The Mad Mullah of tlie Speedway,” arrived today to take command of his speed squadron—the eight-car racing team that he is to lead in competition on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Wednesday, May 30, when the stars of the speed world meet in the Eleventh Annual International Sweepstakes, the | famous 500-mile race. Though his home is in California, where he jis recognized as the premier motor car magnate of the Pacific Coast, young Durant came to Indianapolis from his estate at Roseeonnnon, Mich., where he had been in training for more than two weeks.

It is generally admitted that Durant has brought to Indianapolis the greatest team that has ever gone on any race course. He has a fleet of the best cars that money and brains can produce, and he has the world's great--1 est drivers on his squad. There is the present champion of the speed world. Jimmy Murphy, winner of the last 505 mile race. Murphy has won the past three events on the Pacific Coast : with his Durant Special and anew j world's record was established each

SOME OF STATE’S BEST AT IRWIN FIELD ON FRIDAY Great Performances Looked for When Butler and Wabash Athletes Clash, Four men who rank among the fastest sprinters in the Central West will meet when Butler and Wabash clash in a dual track and field meet at the Butler athletic field Friday. The meet will start at 2:30 o'clock. Gray and Northam of Butler are the speed kings who will race Knee and Van Arsdale of Wabash. Each man has an official record of ten seconds for the century and Gray is credited with having stepped the 100 in 9 4-5. Sure to Be Close The meet is sure to be close. Griggs defeated Thorn of Wabash by a narrow margin in the shot-put. at the Drake relays. These two rival athletes played center against each other in basketball and also met on the gridiron. No better broad-jumpers are on any team in the State than the two who meet Friday. Van Arsdale has a record of 22 feet 3Mi inches. Northam has jumped 22 feet 5 inches. Butler depends on Graham, a former Technical star, and Harmeson, ex-Manual athlete, in the pole vault. Wyatt Good Hurdler. Coach Pat Page knows that his hurdlers, Wilson and Stewart, will have a real problem to solve In both the high and low hurdles if they go up against the speedy Wyatt. However, Wyatt may not be in the meet, as he is on the ball team that meets State Normal on Friday. Woods, the Butler College track captain, has a slight edge over the Wabash high Jumpers, hut the high jump is always an uncertain event. Leslie, the tall Butler football and basket-ball star, will find a worthy opponent in Thorn in the discus. Coach Higgins is bringing the wonderful Wabash relay team to Indianapolis. Butler has a great relay quartet When these two teams meet the local track followers will see re-enact-ed the grea? relay race that was held at the Drake relays a few weeks ago.

Milton won the 500-mile event in 1921, when he piloted a Frontenac In the international speed struggle. The California hothouse speed pilots here for the May 30 grind were a frigid lot today and they were grouped around hotel radiators most of the time. They came here determined to rush the season on the straw hat opening, but they were not anticipating a snowstorm and their straw skimmers were forgotten headgear today. AMUSEMENTS
