Millard Says Big Match Will Be Slugging Affair, With Results a Toss-Up

JfIBESMEN VISIT EASTERN CITIES FOE[SHORT TRIP Jpen in Columbus Wednesday —Team Skids Badly in Labor Day Bill.

"No game at Washington Park toiay. The Indians took a day off and packed a few belongings for the short eastern trip opening in Columbus, Wednesday. The trip calls for series with the Senator and Toledo Hens. The Colonels of Louisville made Labor day a hard one for the Tribesmen. McCarthy's boys grabbed both holiday contests. 4 to 1 and 7 to 6 In the opener Wayland Dean, the youthful ace of the Louisville -hurling staff, was much too strong in the pinches for the home clubbers. Balloon Ascends in Ninth The second affair was a wild one in which the Indians were made to look bad. The Tribesmen had the game in their favor, 6 to 2, when the ninth inning arrived and then the balloon went up. Five Colonels scored and away went the ball game. pitched effectively, but apBeared careless at the start of the ! "?Tnal stanza and the visitors perked up. It w r as not long until the Colonels sent him to the showers. Bono took up the job and the visitors found a hole through Terkes and kept mounting their run total. Petty was called in and committed a balk, the field umpire ruled, and the winning run scored from third. Jess Looses His Noodle Soheprier was the athlete who skidded in from third with the winning marker. Petty started the trouble when he failed to keep his eyes opened, he forgot to watch runner on third. Daly, the plate umpire, ruled Schepner out, but when the Colonels protested he conferred with Killian and Killian whispered something in Daly's ears about a balk. That settled it. Daly changed his decision. The Indians stormed and Tom Whelan was banished. Previous to that it appeared as though Killian missed a play at first base that would have retired the Colonels. If it is a fifty-fifty argument in this league the Indians always lose it. The Tribe’s losing streak has cut them down in the standing and Minneapolis is pressing them for sixth place. Looks like the home boys are going to land down next to their old friends, the Toledo Hens. Yerkee can’t cover enough ground around second base. Janvrin has a bum leg and can’t play. So there you are.

ACT IN TIES CONTEST BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE Cleveland Trip Free of Expense to Best Amateur Baseball Player, Who will have the distinction of being chosen the best amateur baseball player in Indianapolis? It will bs quite an honor, and besides that flu lucky player gets a trip to Cleveland Sept. 24 at the expense of The I Times. It is surely worth an effort. Yet i some of the managers are slow in I sending in the names of their stars. And these same managers, after the contest is over, probably will say: “Oh. shucks, why. v/e’ve got a player lots better than that one on our team." Now Is the Time Now is the time to show what you have. All the claims in the world arc, not worth much. It's the fellow who delivers the goo,ls---not the one "who might have delivered" that re ally gets the credit Players who were members of disbanded teams may turn in their own names. Don’t be modest.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Jess Asserts Both Are Natural Battlers and for That Reason Anything Is Likely to Occur —Jack Smarter — Firpo Harder Hitter, By JESS WILLARD, Former Heavyweight Champion. |r-p | HE Dempsey-Firpo fight will be a slugging match, with the I*■ I result a toss-up. Dempsey is not what you would call a clever boxer, and Firpo is even less of a gymnasium sparring man. It will be a primitive battle.

A grizzly be£r will rip Into a gorilla. A pile-driver will crash against a buzz-saw. They talk about the wallop in Dempsey's punches, but I want to tell you that Firpo hits the harder. My ribs have bent and my head has whirled under the blows of each. I know. Both Defrmined Scrappers And the punches won't fan the air In this coming battle. Both men can be hit. Dempsey hasn’t, often had to take the full force of a straight blow in a vital place, but his policy is to plunge in regardless of punishment. Firpo looks from the ringside as if you couldn't mise him. He isn’t as easy a* that But the trouble come* when you crash home your sledgehammer blows and they fail to make any impression on him. Both have the fighting spirit That is an essential element, and If It Isn’t born in a man it cannot be trained Into him They have plenty of confidence and determination. The Champ's Advantage Dempsey has the advantage of ex--1 perience Firpo is larger and heavier, and I think stronger. Why,is the result a toss up’ Well, as I analyzed their qualities in fighting them both and in thinking them over while my bruises healed, they are pretty equally matched, man to man. They are much more on the same level than the crowd In the SPADES ADVANGE IN TIMES MEET 1 East Side Nine Downs Y, P, C,s at Riverside, 5-0, I Good pitching by Francis And fault* loss support enabled the Spades nine ! to defeat the Y.

arena is going to believe before the fight starts. No Cinch For Jack Th° champion hasn’t any walk over at all. The challenger could do better later, but he is a first-class fighting man now. Then count in a large element of luck. It is a greater factor in a heavyweight fight than anywhere else in the boxing game. I count luck for at least thirty per cent. With big men evenly matched one is almost as liable as the other to be first with a decisive blow. The one who lands a knockout need not be the heaviest, hitter. Dempsey Won’t Wait As soon as the gong sounds, as I dope this fight. Dempsey will rip Into Firpo with everything he has. Dempsey doesn’t wait for them to come to him. Firpo. in our fight, started right in the center of the ring, never gave any ground and kept hammering away That is his type. T believe Dempsey will find Firpo ready to stick rigM along at his pace and shoot back ns savagely as he re reives. * Usually I don’t go to fights a* a spectator. I intend not to miss this one.

AMERICA SHOWS ■ ITS SUPREMACY IN TENNIS WORLD Australian Team Defeated in Davis Cup Play Four Matches to One, By Vnited 'Sties FOREST HILLS, Sept. 4.—America has again demonstrated her. undoubted supremacy in the tennis world by defeating Australia, strongest of the score of challenging nations, by four matches to one, in the international competition for the Davis cup. Rcovering all of the brilliant tenris of which he is capable, \villiam M. Johnston defeated John B. Hawke® Monday in straight sots, 6-0, 6-2, 6-1. Critical interest had been aroused ih the battle of giants between William T. Tiiden and James O Andetsoh. Their previous encounters had resulted in one victory for each. Monday Tiiden demonstrated his superiority by defeating the tall Antipodean. 5-2. 6-3, 1-6, 7-5. Anderson had caused a distinct shock to American tennis enthusiasts : by his defeat Friday of Johnston, considered well-nigh invincible before any one except, possibly, Tiiden. America was relieved to see “Big Bill’’ turn back the invader. The American team as a whole had almost assured itself of victory when it won the critical doubles s;t Saturday. Now Australian tennis must look once more to the future.
