Indians Depart on Trip After Double Header Wind-Up With Colonels
TRIBE TO PERFORM IN > COL UMB US AND TOLEDO Twin Bill Today Closes Louisville Visit to City Rain Ruins Sunday Party With Score Knotted, Colonels and Indians were to do it twice today. The old rivals were stopped by the rainstorm Sunday before they had reached a decision and as a result the fans were to get a doubleheader this afternoon. The score Sunday was 4 and 4, five innings. ' The Tribesmen won Saturday, 13 to 4, with Jess Petty pitching.
Following the .twin bill today Ownie Bush will take his athletes to Columbus and Toledo for a short road trip. The team is due back heme Aug. 5 for a long stay. Kansas City will be the first visiting club here when the Indians return. More than 8,000 fans were presept Sunday and everything was set for an old-time Louis ville-Indianapolis party until the showers arrived. The ball tossers were in fighting mood and a number of Colonel fans were on hand to wrangle with the Tribe supporters. Deberry and Fitzsimmons were the opposing twirlers and both were being hit hard enough to indicate that the score would see-saw. Two games were scheduled, but it was impossible to go through with the program. The Colonels scored a run in the gening innir.g, the Indians counted fn the second, both teams once in the third and in the fifth Louisville grabbed twe and Indianapolis one. Miller crashed a home run in the second and Pug Allen was very prominent with two doubles and a single. Two easy runs for the Colonels in the fifth. Schmanct and Miller were guilty of miscues. Ballenger's error helped the Tribesmen tie the count in their half. Bill Burwell will not be able to pitch for ten days. He is ill and in bed, where he must remain for a week. More tough luck for the In dians. Niles and Hill were due to do the Tribe pitching today.

MR. RUTH BOOSTS WAFTERJOHNSON Bambino Says Washington Star Is ‘ldeal Pitcher,' By y BA Service CHICAGO, July 23.—" Walter Johnson is the ideal pitcher,” says Babe Ruth, baseball's greatest slugger. Prior to his reign as the “King of Swat,” Ruth was the premier southpaw pitcher of the American League. All of which qualifies him as an expert in judging pitchers. “The fans think only of Johnson’s great speed as a pitcher, when as a matter of fact he is the most finished all-round performer in the major leagues. "With his speed, Johnson has a fine curve, a good slow ball and a great change of pace. That's enough for any pitcher. “Incidentally, Johnson is probably the best fielding pitcher In the American League. Washington has five inflelders with him working. “Unlike most great. pitchers, Johnson is a fine batsma,n. He hits ’em hard and is dangerous in the pinch. The averages show him around the .300 mark.”
Billy Evans Says E'S losing his fast ball. •Major league pitchers regard that as the saddest tale of all. Bill Dinneen, American League umpire, was one of the game's greatest pitchers fifteen years ago. lie had a great fast ball gnd ,a wonder curve. Dinneen relied mostly on his curve, using the fast ball as a threat. Continuous use of a curve ball takes much put of the arm and eventually robbed him of his speed. When the fast one was gone, the curve lost much of its deception. No longer fearing the fast ball, the batters hugged the plate so as to be in a better position to hit the curve. "To see some weak batsman, who otjce was lucky to foul you, hit your offerings to all corners of the field, is a tragedy in the life of every pitcher," avers Dinneen. D r —""“ INNEEN quit pitching and took up umpiring at a time L_J when he had several more years of big league service ahead of him. Having a certain amount of pride in his work and his brilliant career, Dinneen didn’t care to have his record dimmed by a poor finish. In this connection there is an interesting story. A certain player known as a very ordinary batter, who probably hadn't made a dozen hits off Dinneen in as many years, made five In one game. “When that fellow can make five hits in five times up, I ought to quit pitching," remarked Dinneeij. A few days later he did.
Just at present there are a half dozen star pitchers in the two major leagues who are passing through the experience that comes to every pitcher, the loss of the fast one. mT is surprising how quickly the batters get wise to the situation and seek to take advantage of it. The other day while sitting on the home team's bench prior to the start of the game, I listened to three or four great hitters discussing a trio of American League pitchers. It would be unkind-to mention names. "You don’t need to worry about his fast spitter any more. It no longer breaks, just tumbles,’ remarked one player. “So and So is about through,” said another player. “He doesn’t throw you ten fast ones in a game. Knowing that, the rest of his stuff is easy.” All of which makes It seem that the loss of the fast ball is a real tragedy in the life of every pitcher.

OLYMPIC STARS REACH END OF SPORT CAREERS Paddock, Scholz and Ray Among Athletes Who-Won't Be Present at Next World Event. The Paris Olympics marked the end of competitive career of a number of American athletes, notably: Charley Paddock, Jackson Scholz, Clarence Demar, Alfred LeConey, Joie Ray, Ralph Spearow.
Paddock, once famed as the "fastest human,” may grace an occasional exhibition in the future, but every one is certain the colorful Californian has taken his last gay fling at big-time competition. Scholz, veteran of ten years’ running, came out of retirement last winter with one thought in mind, making the Olympic team. It was probably a good thing for your Uncle Sam the Missourian had this thought. Otherwise the showing of the Star-Spangled entry in the flat races abroad would have been dra.c, not to say unprofitable. Scholz Will Retire Scholz realized his main ambition at Paris, and now he is ready to return to the sidelines as an observer, carrying with him delightful memories of his two record-breaking days at the Cambridge stadium and his subsequent triumph in the’ 200 meters in France. Scholz may compete in the A. A. U. races later ir. the summer. If he does it will be his swan song. You can never tell what Joie Ray will do. The "Chicago miler is through and perhaps will retire immediately. content to rest on his many laurels. Then again he may come back bristling with fight, determined to prove that his miserable showing in the Olympics was all a clammy mistake. Ray an Olympic Flop Ray is unquestionably the greatest miler ever developed in this country. Yet he has always been an unkempt flop in the international games. Clarence DeMar said before he sailed that this would be his last marathon. The Boston sprinter, 3S years of age, finished third, leading all the Americans. The race went to Albin Stenroos of Finland. De Mar thought he was a veteran. Stenroos, it developed, is 40 years old. This may persuade DeMar to race two more years. Spearow a Disappointment Ralph Spearow, Oregon sky pilot, is expected to renounce his pole i suiting ambitions for all time. Much was looked for from Spearow in the Olympics. His unofficial record of 13 feet 6 inches excited the experts. Anew record was predicted. But Spearow showed little form, falling far below the average. Alfred .Le Coney is another sprinter ( who came out of retirement to run in the Olympics. His act is just about ended. Ray Buker of Illinois is another who is ready to quiu AUSTRALIANS IN VICTORY Patterson and Wood Defeat Kinsey Brothers at Tennis.
