Georges and Tom Ready for A ction —Thrills Promised in Colonel Series

INTERNATIONAL MATCH STIRS RING INTEREST

Frenchman and Yankee Close Hard Training and Await Call to Arena Saturday—‘Experts’ in Doubt, Bv JAMES KOLBERT United Press Staff Correspondent MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., May 29. —Georges Carpentier and Tom Gibbons have finished the hard grind and now are drifting along on light calestenics to their ten-round bout here Saturday. They are on edge and fear overtraining. Gibbons wound up with ten sizzling rounds, while Georges idled around Wednesday.

The "experts” are becoming ad-dle-headed trying to dope out the winner. Tuesday they watched Carpentier work out and came away shaking their heads in foreboding for Gibbons. Wednesday afternoon they flocked to the Gibbons camp, and after seeing a dazzling exhibition of boxing, walked out, still shaking their heads. It is almost the consensus of opinion that the bout is a toss-up and the “experts" are advising against putting up bets. MANMEASY CITY $ WIN South Side Team Hops on Shortridge Hurlers, Won. Lost. Pet. Technical 2 0 1.000 Manual 2 1 .667 Short ridge 0 3 .000 Manual had an easy time at Garfield Park Wednesday with Shortridge in a city high school baseball series contest and defeated the North Side team, 13 to 3, in a Severn Inning contest. The winners hit hard and were aided by every conceivable sort of misplay by Shortridge. Simms started on the mound for Shortridge. Smith then took up the burden and he was followed by Connell. The last named had the most luck. Higgs, who pitched the first five innings for Manual, allowed only one scratch hit. Cleary pitched the sixth inning. Cassidy went to the hill in the seventh and got into trouble through his wildness. He forced in two runs. Rose was put into the breach with the bases full and one out. After one man had scored he retired the side without further damage. Rose led the attack on Shortridge with four hits in the same number of trips.

LOUISVILLE RIVALS IN CITY TO MEET INDIANS

Today's Game Called Off on Account of Wet Grounds — Double-Header Friday—Fitz Defeats Hens. Wet grounds caused the postponement of today’s scheduled game between Colonels and Indians. There was too much mud on the field to permit play. The postponement cuts the series to four battles; consisting of two Friday afternoon, one Saturday and one Sunday. The double-header Friday will start at 2 o’clock.

The Colonels arrived in town at noon anck they were feeling chesty. They are one position ahead of the Indians in the A. A. race and they feel very proud of their early season success. Pre-season do pesters didn’t rate the Derbytown boys strong enough to mingle In the first division. Indians Confident , It may be a different story after the series here, however. Ownie Bush's athletes are determined to hold up their heads and they feel confident of ousting the Colonels from second place during the struggles starting at Washington Park Friday. Tex Covington, former Tribe first saeker now with the Colonels, is having one of his good years and he probably will be difficult to retire in the games here. He has been clouting above .400. Three Hits for Fitz Fred Fitzsimmons was the Tribe star in the Indians’ 7 to 3 defeat of the Toledo Hens, Wednesday. The Mishawaka Marvel worked like a horse on the mound and contributed two singles and a double at bat. The Hens used two pinch hitters in the eighth, but Fitz tightened and disposed of both without damage. The fielding feature Wednesday was a running back hand catch of a hard drive In right center by Christenbury. Shannon was the victim of Christie’s fancy fielding. One man was on base at the time and the drive looked good for three bases before Christie hooked it.

REYNOLDS GETS HAND LOSES Third Fall Is K, 0, and Jap Matsuda Wins, Matty Matsuda, advertised as- the welterweight mat champ of Japan, won two out of three falls from Jack Reynolds Wednesday night before a. large crowd at the Broadway Theater. The deciding fall came in spectacular fashion after 8 minutes and 58 seconds of fast work. The Jap apparently was “all in” as a result of a series of headlocks. Matty was holding on to the ropes and Jack was tugging at him. Suddenly releasing his grip on the ropes the Jap fell on top of Reynolds with such force as to put him out. Reynolds won the first fall in 18 minutes and 26 seconds with a leg split, and the second went to Matsuda in 38 minutes and 6 seconds on a headlock. In the prelims John Nieberger and John Zaner, both of Indianapolis, went fifteen minutes to a draw; Frank (Peg) Gee of Elwood, onelegged wrestler, defeated Ralph Hancock of Marion in a one-fall match and Lynn Curley took one fall from Sam Davis in 22 minutes and 24 seconds. Curley had agreed to throw Davis twice in 30 minutes, but failed. Howard Wiggam refereed all bouts. Tech Wins at Tennis The Technical High School defeated Manual Wednesday in tennis at the Prest-O-Lite courts in two singles and one doubles match. Ravenscroft and Kataenberger formed the Tech team. Dundee Bout Postponed B United Press NEW YORK, May 29.—Rain caused the postponement of the Johnny Dundee-Luis Vineentini contest scheduled for Wednesday night.
