He knows "good morning,” "how are you?” "nice day,” “glad to see you,” “how much?” and several others. His pet phrase, however, according to his household staff, is ‘teee you tomorrow.” When the sheriff in Indianapolis told him he would be arrested if he knocked Joe Downey down, Firpo said “see you tomorrow,” and the sheriff thought it was a fine joke, his interpreter said.

Richie was cut over his right eye in his battle with Tim O’Dowd at Louisville last Monday night. Labor day intervenes before the next bout at the post and Captain Wilson, the promoter, was convinced that it was next to impossible to secure a first-class man for Lissee for Tuesday. Wilson, therefore, got in touch with both Sparks and Dugan, the bantams scheduled for the semi-windup and arranged with them to appear in the wind-up.

INDIANS TO TAKE ON LOUISVILLE HERESATURDAY Tribe Closes Disastrous Western Trip With Defeat —Brown Again Ready, The forlorn Indians, after a disastrous trip through the western half of the A. A. circblt, were steaming back home today, much the worse for wear and tear. They got knocked off again In St. Paul Wednesday, 7 to 1, thereby making it an unanimous victory series for the Saints. Five games played in St. Paul and five games lost. The Tribesmen drew well in the Saintly city and made a few of the contests close, but ultimate results in each strugglge were the same—they got licked. Saints and Blues Reign The A. A. race has settled down to a two-club fight between the Saints and the Blues, with the Saints holding an edge of one-half game today. The Louisville Colonels challenged for a time, but apparently they have shot their bolt and it looks like Saints and Blues tq the wire with both clubs poison to all the others. Cavet started on the Tribe mound in the final at St. Paul Wednesday arid lasted until the fifth. During that time the champs blasted ten hits, including three drives over the fence. Bono finished In the box. The score was 7 to 1. The fourth inning saw four Saints cross the plate and clinch the honors. Chardie Hall hurled for the winners and held the Indians to seven safeties. Large Day for Haas Bruno Haas enjoyed a huge day for the Kqlleyites, his batting record showing a home run and three sin gles. It was the Tribe’s sixth successive defeat, as they dropped the last one with the Millers at Minneapolis Saturday before moving to~ Bt. Paul. Eddie Brown, chief Tribe slugger, probably will get back in harness Saturday when the Indians clash with tne Louisville Colonels at Washington Park. He was injured in the Minne apolis series and his big bat was missed in the St. Paul smuggles. The Indians will need much re building over the winter, if it Is possible to find players to rebuild with. About all the Tribesmen can’ hope for tho remainder of this season is to crawl back to fifth position and maybe into fourth! Big League Liners The Reds dropped a half game in the National League pennant race Wednesday when the Braves broke up a tie in the tenth and won. Genewieh outpltched Benton slightly. The Cubs pounded Wilbur Cooper for five runs In the first two innings and beat the Pirate*. The Tigers took the last game from Washington .Senators after they had scored nine runs in three innings off Mitchell and Marberry. After the third inning Marberry held the Tigers runless.

SANDIDGE FIRST NAME ON TIMES CONTEST LIST Uncle Sam Employe Early Bird Managers, Give Your Stars a Chance for Trip to Cleveland, On the job. An employe of Uncle Sam knows the value of promptness. The very first name turned in on The Times contest to find the amateur baseball player in Indianapolis came from the Postoffiee Athletic Association. U. D. Sandidge is the player’s name.
Sandidge works for Uncle Sam and his initials are U. S. That's a combination hard to beat. And he is No. 1 on the list. Frank Brown, manager, turned in the name. .Managers Urged to Hurry Another blank Is being carried in today's editions of the Times. There is no use waiting. Managers cut out the blank and save it if you are not quite ready with the names. Don’t make it necessary to get a back, edition to obtain the blank. It surely isn’t much trouble to cut them out of the paper. Do It NOW. Don’t overlook this bet. The player selected gets a trip to Cleveland free with a chance to try out for national honors before big league scouts and players. All expenses are paid by the Times. What Townes Says “It will go down through the years as one of the outstanding events in baseball history.” And by “it” Clayton C. Townes, “daddy” of the National Baseball Federation, simply means the world’s greatest amateur tournament opening in Cleveland, Sept. 24. “The idea of gathering scores of ambitious and worthy sandlotters together, following their selections as the best in their home towns, will result in untold good to not only the boys themselves but likewise the different amateur organizations, and the game itself.” Bowling Meetings The Capitol No. 2 and Commercial in order to draw up schedules for the regular season.
