INDIANS RETURN AND AWAIT BIG SERIES WITH K. C. Tribe Takes Three Out of Four From Millers as Road Trip Ends, After grabbing three out of four from the Millers in the wind-up series of the long road trip whiclbolosed Sunday, the Indians have today and Tuesday to rest before tackling the Kansas City Blues at Washington Park Wednesday. The two-day vacation will be appreciated chiefly by the pitching staff, which is badly in need of a lay-off. Some of the Tribe athletes came through to Indianapolis directly from Millertown today while others dropped off in Chicago to witness the Tigers and White Sox plaj' this afternoon. Hitting Is Big Feature In the Minneapolis series the Indians broke even Saturday and then grabbed both games of the Sunday twin bill. Each game there saw plenty of batting. The scores Saturday were 6 to 5, Indianapolis, and S to 7, Minneapolis, and the results Sunday were 11 to 10, ten innings and 7 to 4, both in the Indians’ favor. The closing tilt Sunday was a bobtailed affair of five innings cut short by the 6 o’clock Sunday baseball law. Eddie Brown smashed a home run in each of the Sunday contests, his safety total for the afternoon being five. Hill and Cavet toiled on the Tribe mound in the extra-inning game and Burwell pitched the five-inning victory in the second. Janvrin got a homer in the first game. Ix>st Only One Series The Hepdricksmen were worsted in only one series during the long trip. Kansas City taking them for feur out of six games. The Hoosiers were unable to improve their position in the A A. standing, however, and they are still sixth. Perhaps they will get going again during the home stay. They have been hitting hard and the pitching has been fair in spots, but bad fielding has interfered with their advancement. Janvrin bas improved as a hitter, but has slumped in fielding, whereas fielding Is supposed to be his strong point. The team’s record on the road was thirteen games won and twelve lost.

LIGHTWEIGHTS ALL SET FOR RINGING OF BELL Crowd of 80,000 Expected at Yankee Stadium Tonight When Leonard and Tendler Clash, By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, July 23.—After six years of rather trifling ease, Benny Leonard, the good-looking lightweight champion, will have to go to work in the Yankee stadium tonight when he meets Lew Tendler, the less handsome challenger, from Philadelphia. For the first time since he won the championship, the experts reckon that Leonard will not only have to work, but will be forced to serious manual labor.

During the six years of his reign, the champion was mostly engaged in preventing an opponent from mussing his patent leather locks. Twice he was driven to the epoint of anger, where he was forced to knock out impudent opponents who took liberties with him. White and Mitchell Charlie White knocked him through the ropes once in Michigan City and so stung the pride of the title holder that he knocked White out for getting too fresh. Once again Richie Mitchell socked Benny Hat on his back and the champion flattened him right back for good. Leonard and Tendler met once before. but the meeting in Jersey did not assume the laborious proportions that surround the second battle tonight. The first bout was a node cision thing and the cnampion’s work of the night consisted only In being on his feet when the bout ended. He was in an erect position at the end of twelve rounds and he won the popular decision by a great finish after Tendler aroused a fury inhim by almost knocking him out. Heavy Advance Sale Jimmy Johnston, promoter of the fight, tonight expects a crowd of SO, 000 in the stadium, and he figures on counting $600,000 from the gate. Advance sales have gone.beyond $350,000, and many seats are available for the last minute rush. Largely because there has been so little Tendler money on the market.

You’ll find Fatima in cigarette history. —a smoother, cooler smoke There is no doubt about it—a few —rich, but not heavy extra cents certainly do make a dis—mild, yet not flat ference. And the proof is in Fatima’s and with that rare delicacy of taste better taste. FATIMA —a mild cigarette , Liggett & Myers Tobacco Cos.

the odds favor Leonard at 2 to 1, with very little betting. Most of the money being offered is on knockouts and the round. Leonard figures that the first meeting with Tendler taught him all he needs to know about beating a southpaw and that he will be in a position to step out tonight from the first gong. He will have to do some • stepping with a decision at the end of the bout, and a realization with it that the referee and judges in New York haven’t any too much consideration for a champion. Tendler’s Chances Good On the books I>eor.ard looks like a winner, but Tendler has a fine chance to win if he uses his head and closes his ears. The gates to the stadium will be opened at 5 o’clock. The program will start at 8 and the principals for the main bout will have to be In the ring not latfer than 10 o'clock in accordance with the rules. Leonard and Tendler were to weigh in this afternoon and they had forfeits up to make 135 pounds. If Leonard failed to make the weight, the title will be at stake provided Tendler is not over 135 pounds. While rain was falling In a torrent Ildnle Groh smacked a single in the fifth inning and drove In the run that gave the Giants a victory over the Phils Sunday.
