Indian Hopes Are Revived

CHANCE TO GRAS * FIFTH POSITION IN LEAGUE RACE Tribe Victory Today Would Mean Second Division Lead —Campbell Is Star, With a chance to grab off fifth place in the A. A. standing by a victory today, the Indians were hopped up and anxious to tangle with the Brewers in the second game of the series. Bono was the probable Tribe! pitching selection. Fifth position isn’t much, but it rep-! resents the top team of the second j division and is a far better place than| “down below.” Fans who were not scared out by i the summer showers previous to the Tuesday fracas at the ball yard got more than their money’s value of entertainment. It went twelve innings and the Tribesmen nosed out a win, 7 to 6. Franklin Lad Shines Spud Campbell delivered the smack that sent in the winning marker and it was his fourth hit of the contest. The lad from Franklin was "Fred Peamot” himself and he was right tere with the story' book heroics. His “punch hitting” is becoming a regular thing- at Washington Park and his batting has won him a place in the coveted circle of consistent swatters. Other outstanding figures in the j extra inning affair were Pug Cavet, Eddie Sicking and Eddie Brown. Cavet relieved Hill on the mound after two out in the fifth inning and the veteran | southpaw put the cold storage to the j Brewers attack by permitting them only three hits the remainder of the game. Sicking accepted fourteen out of fifteen chances at second base and squeezed in the tieing run in the ninth by a well-placed bunt. Pott lasted until the fourth in the box for the visitors, after which Keefe took up the job. It Pays to Battle The Indians won because they kept everlastingly at it. They got hits aplenty, but many opportunities to win before the twelfth were ruined when a run-getting safety was not forthcoming. Walter Rehg got only one hit, but two terrific smashes off his bat were pulled down by classy defense on the part of the Brewers. * Eddie Brown collected four hits and kept the Indians' hopes aglow, and his fourth hit developed into the winning run. He tripled in the second and singled in the eighth, tenth and twelfth. For the Milwaukee boys Griffin got a triple, double and single The Tribe’s winning marker was gistered like this: Brown singled and i rueger walked. Janvrtn attempted; to sacrifice and popped to Keefe. Kirke flied to McNulty, making two out. Spud Campbell then clipped one over second and Brown scored. Campbell handled six chances in the field and caught the Brewers flatfooted on a delayed steal.

Just a Bone URBAN SHOCKER. Bp XEA Scmic* ST. LOUIS. June 6.—Pitcher , Shocker of the St. Louis Browns | is regarded as one of the best pitch- j ers in the American League. All j of which is preliminary to the statement that ever, the wisest of heads can make the most ludicrous mistakes. In a recent game with Washington the score a tie. the bases filled \ and one out, the Browns’ infield | moved in to cut a possible run oft at the plate, in case a ground ball was hit. At a tense moment with the count two balls and two strikes on the batter. Shocker made a quick turn in the direction of first and snapped the ball directly over the heart of the bag. No one was within ten feet of the throw. Two runs crossed the plate and the runner on first reached third.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Advice From Friends Is Often Detrimental By Mike Brady Western Open Champion

BEWARE of accepting too much promiscuous golf advice from well-meant friends or playing companions. Their intentions may be all right, but if you are having trouble with some department of your game and they start to advise you what is wrong, it is an even chance that the advice may in the end turn out worse than the disease.

In other words, there may not be anything fundamentally wrong with what you are doing, hut simply that you temporarily are hurrying the stroke or doing some little thing easily corrected if properly diagnosed. Every prominent golfer has had the experience of sometimes getting a trifle off his game during an important tournament and of having some kindly intentioned friend step up and try to tell him what is the matter with his game. More often than otherwise this friend, or well-wisher, plays around in 90 to 100 and knows comparatively little about the finer points of the game. There are men who can’t score in low figures themselves who, I’ll admit, have a pretty

good idea of golf fundamentals, but taken by and large it is inadvisable to accept willy-nilly the advice of anybody and everybody. The best thing to do when you go off your game is to have the professional give you half an hour. He may straighten you out in ten seconds. I have seen the best of professionals go wrong on their game, worry and fret and apparently he unable to diagnose their own trouble, thpn have a brother professional tell them the trouble with one glance at their swing.

PAPYRUS WINS ENGLISH DERBY BEFORE THOUSANDS Heavy Wagering by People of All Classes at Epsom—Airplanes Help Direct Jammed Traffic. By United Per** EPSOM DOWNS, England, Juno 6.—Papyrus won the 140th English Derby today from a field of nineteen starters. Pharos was second and Parth third. Papyrus finished ahead by a length. Doric name in fourth. Donoghue rode the winner. Tt was the jockey’s third successive victory in this classic. The odds were: Papyrus, 100 to 15; Pharos, 10 to 1; Parth, 11 to 1. The time was 2 .40.

Papyrus is owned by B. Irish, Pharos by Lord Derby and Parth hy M. Goculdas. In spite of the threatening weather, there was a tremendous crowd on hand to witness the classic. The only entry was FoxhaJl Keene's Top Boot. Town Guard, which was the favorite before the race, was ridden by Jockey Archibald, American. King and Queen Absent King George and Queen Mary did not attend the race because of the illness of Princess Christiana, a relative. Their absence, however, did not influence the great assemblage, which wagered, screamed and cheered with picnic joviality. Roads to Epsom were teeming with endless throngs from daybreak this morning as all England, it seemed, moved on the Downs to celebrate a national festival in the running of the Derby. Even the visit of a parliamentary commission to the betting inclosures, study the possibility of taxing betting, was not noticed. While airplanes soared over the streams of traffic directing the policemen below by wireless, the crowds continued to go in Rolls-Royces, flivvers, motor buses, donkey shays and afoot. Masses Collected The vast expanse of greensward, which enabled many thousands to see the race free of charge, was the arena into which the masses poured. The wagering was heavy. The English Derby at Epson Downs was originated by the Earl of Derby In 1780. Two of the horses entered were owned by women. They were Lady Nuburn Holmes’ Portumna and Mrs. Bender’s Skias. The betting fluctuated hourly up to the start of the race. During the night heavy support for Papyrus and Pharos put Town Guard in third position as favorite, but later he recovered and shortly before starting time he was quoted at 11 to 2 . Most of the tipsters avoided advising bets on Town Guard, despite his popular favoritism, due to sensational rumors that he had gone lame. The Prince of Wales was an interested spectator of the big event. The Fountain Square A. A.a will play at Stones Crossing on June 10 and at Brooklyn. Ind , on June 17. All players are requested to attend a meeting tonight at the manager’s residence, 1322 Fletcher Ave. at 7:30. The Squares have shifted their line-up and several new faces will be seen Sunday State clubs desiring real competition, address M. F. Stafford. 2634 Northwestern Ave.

BOXING AND BAIL GAMES DON'T MIX One Sure to Suffer at Gate, Promoters Agree, By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, June 8. —Day by day there is getting to be more business In sport and less sport In business. While Jack Dempsey is vacationing in Shelby. Mont., ready to pick off a cool $300,000 for whatever he does on July 4 In a ring with Tommy Gibbons and Luis Angel Firpo is down in Havana ready to knock down a hand-picked opponent, for a few thousand pesos, the fight promoters and baseball magnates have decided to call off competition and adjust their schedules so they won t conflict. Attendance Falls There has been a minor furore recently over the decreasing attendance at boxing carnivals and ball games in cases of conflict. Os course. Jess Willard and Louie Firpo drew most of the customers, who would have attended a game at the Polo Grounds the afternoon of their battle. Then the Yankees drew a lot of prospective customers who might have attended the Criqul Kilbane fuss last Saturday. The owners of visiting ball clubs have raised a howl. They know Saturday afternoon In New York means a lot of money. Fuss Is Settled The local park owners threatened to refuse to permit their parks to he used in the future for boxing and just when there seemed to be a nice little war ready, the affair was settled. Henceforth and forever the boxing matches to be held here will be held a t night when they conflict with baseball games. Tt is figured that when fights are held in the cool of the summer evenings, the race fans and others will be attracted. In this way the baseball club owners and the fight promoters will both get "better business.” A. B C.S LOSE TO STARS S4t. Louis Team Bunches Hits In Eighth Inning. By Time* Special ST. LOUIS. Mo..

SENIOR CIRCUIT HAS NEAR FENCES IN TWO CITIES Philadelphia and Chicago Parks Give Swatters Advantage, By BILLY EVANS Why the decided difference in horns runs between the National and American Leagues? At present the edgs is almost 2 to 1 in favor of the NaLeague a livelier hall than the Amsr- hII lean League brand? raCT^£<fg||£|j|||w That question has many times. There used In the two major leagues. It EVANS is the identical same ball. That eliminates the lively ball possibility. The next question that might bd ; raised is: Are the National League : batters superior to those of the i American League? I seriously doubt if there is any marked difference in, j the ability of the major league bats* ma. Batters On a Par On the whole I am inclined to tiling the batters in the major leagues ars very much on an equality. That eHmi. | nate3 the chance that the National League has many more sluggers than i the American. What about the pitching? Pitching runs in cycles. For the past four oil five years I am inclined to think that j the pitching in the National was 3 trifle superior to that of the American. That in a measure accounted for -tha American League batters supremacy; in long distance slugging. It is my belief tha a change had ! come and the pitching edge is shift* ing back to the American. That fea* ture accounts for some of the differ* ence between the two majors in tha matter of home runs.

Big Difference in Fields Then there Is the matter of small ball parks. At the American League park in Philadelphia the making of a homerun is now a far more difficult matter than in former years, due to a higher wall in front of the left field bleachers. ■ * The small park of the Philadelphia Nationals has made for many home runs in that league. The enlarging of the seating capacity of tha Chicago National League park has also encroached on the playing territory. Many more home runs are being made there because of the smaller playing field. Thus you have a few of the reasons why there is such a marked difference between the home run totals in tha two major leagues, with the National boasting a top-heavy margin.
