Starting Thursday, the Trihe will play four games in Columhus and then stop in Toledo for a round of battles before returning home.

The Hendricksmen were out to make a desperate effort to down the Minneapolis crew in the series wind up this afternoon an they still felt the sting of the defeat suffered Tues day in the Riley Hospital fund game. The Tuesday score was 6 to 4 Mr. Mayer Hit One The Indians went down fighting in the big feature contest Tuesday, but failure to bum properly snuffed out a couple of rallies and checked their | own attack. Catcher Mayer of Min l neapofis helped spoil the afternoon for the home team when he clouted a home run with one mate on in the i sixth inning. Both teams extended themselves ; before the Riley day crowd And there - was some fancy baseball played in the field. Outfielder Milan cut iri with a lining catch in the opening inning that cost the Tribe a run Veteran i though he is. he made a play of the ! college boy type when he left his feet j and did an “Annette Kellerman ” to i snag Rehg'e bid for a hit in short i center. Christenbury was running on j the bases at the time and was doubled | up easily. Fact of the matter the Millers ; executed three double plays and each smothered a Tribe rally. I-ate Chances Snuffed Out The Indians had splendid chances to j overtake the visitors in the seventh I and eighth innings, but poor hunting i in the seventh and lack of a timely hit 'ln the eighth chilled their efforts. Burwell went the full route on thp mound for the Tndians. and Phillips and Ayers worked In the box for Joe Cantllion's crew Brown covered a wide range of ground in center for the Tribe Tues day. He gathered in six fly balls. I/eo Dixon led the swatters of the home team with three hits. He's climbing in the averages. Ted Jourdan wag very prominent in the attack and on the defense for the Millers. The many kids present pulled rtard for a Trihe victory, ami they were disappointed when the visi tors finished on the long end. Commissioner of Baseball La.ndis threw out the first hall and convinced the players and rooters that he hnj not lost his “whip,” The jurist was an attentive fan and watchpd every play closely.

Most Golf Failures Are Chiefly Mental By Mike BradyWestern Open Champion IF there is anything that “gets a golfer’s goat.” to use a bit . of slang, it is to come to a pond hole, or a big hollow, or a wide and deep bunker, know lie has plenty of distance to carry any of them and, time after time, fail to do it. Such failure is absolutely mental. You are afraid of driving into the pond, for example, so what follows: As you tee the ball you probably are keyed ; ...... up to a high tension and the most logical resuit is that, in your anxiety to get over, you look up before the elubhead has come down on the ball. If you don’t do that, you probably are so Ay* determined to get. across that you attempt to press jy:>.■ jiß and either top or slice or do something else equally disastrous. Jp Again, you may keep your eye on the ball, pill Jmjji but are so afraid that you won’t get it in the air IBBMEdKlllif for enough carry to clear the obstacle that you in voluntarily drop the right shoulder, endeavoring to get under the ball, and only succeed in hitting back of the ball, catching it on the lipslroke and topping it into trouble. Again, you hurry t.he stroke or forget to pivot, or do some thing else contrary to what you do on your strokes where no trouble looms. What you should try to do is to relax even more where the trouble looms than you do normally. Try to make the whole stroke a.,s smooth as possible and if you succeed in mastering yourself and clear such obstacles a few times, you will thereafter laugh at your own previous fears.

FIRST CLASH WITH GREB SEES TOM ON LONG END Rivalry Scrap Staged in St, Paul and Gibbons Displays Class —Kane Becomes His Manager, By 808 DORMAN, NEA Service CHAPTER IV SHELBY, Mont., June 13.—Everyone told Gibbons that Harry Grab would eat him up. But Tommy was ambitious. This was the ‘first meeting of the rival light heavies. Greh had just beaten Georcre Chip and had a twenty-karat reputation. But Gibbons was fighting in his home town, so it was St. F’aul against Pittsburgh, the town that grew Greb.

Veil, Tommy gave Harry such a lacing that it look him five years lo go t the Pittsburgh boy in the hu mor of getting in the ring with him again Joe Was Hard One Gibbons now was studying to be a two .styled tighter—infighting and long range. Tommy next beat Gus Christie at Winnipeg, and Vic Hanson at St. Joseph. Mo. Then he ran into Joe Her rick hnek at Winnipeg. Herrick was a tough customer Gibbons dm-k -d a left hand punch and ran into his -lbow It cut his eye. The blood streamed down his face. He could hardly see. Folks wanted to stop the row. But some doctor there saved Tommy. He ran out to a drug store and got a stick of caustic. It stopped the bleeding. Then Gibbons wadd in. In the twelfth and final round he floored Herrick two or three times and won the decision. The fans liked it so well they matched the two again. In the second fight, Tommy had Joe on the floor most of the time. But he wouldn’t Rtay down. Kane Joins ’Em T'p to 1916 Mike and Tommy had been managing their own affairs. They were getting a lot of work, hut the business end interfered wdth their training. They met Eddie Kane in Chicago on one of their trips. They liked him. “You have to live with a. man before you can understand him.” says Tommy. "Kane got us matches. He made us money. We've never been sorry we invited him into our circle.” March 3 Tommy boxed Bert Kenney. He learned something in that scrap that helped him climb. He bad Kenney nearly out in the second round. He told Mike he would finish him in the third. Tommy was all warmed up. Mike doused him wdth cold water. But after being cooled off Tommy couldn’t get going again. He was as cold as If he hadn’t beer, fighting at all. No More Cold Water After the bout the brothers talked it over with Kane. They decided It wasn't any more sensible to cool off while fighting than It would be to throw cold water on a race horse between heats. They saw thjy had been working against one of nature’s laws. Tommy was careful when he fnet Jackie Clark. VI went through the fight like a shot. All he used the towel for was to wdpe off his face, and as a blanket around his shoulders. Then along earn* the big one— Battling Levinsky, light heavyweight champion. Ts Gibbonß beat him he would he somebody then besides just Mike Gibbons’ brother.

COEOREU BANTAM STAR DOES WELL Edwards Outpoints Rhodes — Fast Black Is Swift. Fistic fans of the city who attended the all-colored show at Tomlinson Hall Tuesday night passed a favorable opinion on the prowess of Danny Edwards of Brooklyn, champion of the colored bantams. Edwards outpointed Rube Rhodes of Terre Haute In ten rounds, and did It decisively. He sent Rhodes to the canvas for the count of nine In the fifth and sixth rounds and kept up a fast attack throughout. Rhodes was game and scored several times with a hard right. Edwards has met a number of the high-class bantams of America and his experience ccunted. Fast Black of St. Louis was too swift for Jack Brooks of Indianapolis in the welterweight semi-windup, and danced in and out and scored with lefts and rights. Brooks covered most of the time, but Black gave a fine exhibition of sparring and bored through his opponent's defense many times. Tn the prelim Eddie Jacobs outpointed Jess Bell in ten rounds. It was a slugging contest and the boxers grew tired swinging.

THE PLAT Here Is a play that came up in tho 1917 world series between the New York (Hants and t.he Chicago White Sox There is a runner on first and one man out. The batter hits a pop fly to the seoond baseman Disgusted with his eftort ho runs half way to first base and then turns toward his bench, practically conceding the out. Tho second baseman, noticing this, pur posely trapped the’ bait Instead of making tho catch. The runner on first held his base to avoid being doubled The second baseman, after trapping the ball, threw it to tho first baseman, who touchivi the bag with his foot, and then touched the runner standing on the bag. Figuring the side was retired, ha tossed the ball into the infield. What about the play? THE INTERPRETATION The first baseman did not make the play eorreetly to complete a double play. After receiving the ball he should have first touched the runner on first base. That would have retired him as he was forced to advance to make room for the batsman In first touching the bag, retiring the batsman, he removed the force, and the runner standing on first was entitled to that base.
