INDIANS BATTLE HARD IN FACE OF HANDICAPS
Tribe Stays Within Striking Distance of Saint Speeders —Eller Dazzles Blues in Series Opener. By EDDIE ASH The city has rallied to the support of the Indians and the Indians are fighting desperately to please the shouting fans. And the home hoys are doing battle in the face of handicaps caused by injuries and sickness. It’s a struggle every day and probably will continue so if the team is to remain on the heels of the leading Saints. That gang from the North has strengthened and seldom loses.
The Indians knocked off the K. G Blues in the series opener here Tueeday, 7 to 5, when Hod Miller relieved Roplequet after the second inning and proceeded to silence the bats of the enemy. Over In Toledo the Saints whipped the Hens Just when many A. A. critics figured it was time for Nick Allen’s tossers to lose. Louisville, in third place, displayed new life on the return to the home lot and walloped the Brewers. Hot days, hot games, hot race. About 8,000 fans witnessed the battle here Tuesday, the crowd being swelled by "kids” and women, it being their "free” day. Nearly every inning supplied thrills and the spectators were kept in a strfte of near collapse until Bunny Brief made the game-end-ing out in the ninth. He made a wild effort to qrash a home run, but he topped the ball and Eller grabbed it and tossed him out. Armstrong was on base at the time.
! j-v OPIEQUET got bad breaks in the second inning Tuesday, but he appeared to lack control and Acting Manager Miller used Whelan to bat for him and then called Eller to the mound Whelan didn't hit safely, but he smashed one hard enough to cause Armstrong to fumble and a run scored on the miscue. Eller was a grand success. He did not permit a hit until the seventh. In the seven innings he toiled the Blues got only three hits and one run. He walked four bats men, hit one and struck out one. The Blues had the bases jammed in the seventh with only one man down. Bunny Brief was up. He drove a. sizzler at Sicking and Edvj die scooped it, tossed to Hodapp and Johnny relayed to Schmandt for a double pl&y- Whew! Blackburn* made a diving stop on Allen’s hard grounder in the sixth and tossed to Gagnon from a prone position. It was a double killing and the fans gave Blackbume a leng round of applause. ODAPP had a good day. He was clever in the field and smacked out three singles. Our outfield was brilliant in left, center and right. Christie banged two singles and a triple. Allen snared seven fly balls in center. Manager Bush viewed ths Tuesday game from the grand stand. He is “doing days” by command of Prez Hickey. Ownle didn’t like Ump Connolly's decisions at Toledo and Connolly cried to Hickey. Ollle Chill and Jim Delahanty are officiating in this series. Chill Is a former local resident. m Ned Niles was slated to hurl for the Indians in the second of the series this afternoon. Q Ray Schmandt collected three hits and a walk Tuesday. He was feeling chesty, and why not? He became a daddy Tuesday morning. Local Boxing Permits The city boxing commission' met on Tuesday night and granted permits for three fistic shows. The Inland A. C. was awarded Sept. 1, and the Washington A. C. was awarded Sept. 22 and Oct. 20. Promoter Harter of the Washington A.

FINLEY TO MEET WALTHER IN BIG BOOT NEXT WEEK Welter Stars to Perform at Fort —Rocco and Buck in Draw, Next Tuesday night’s boxing program at the Ft. Harrison arena will be topped by a ten-round bout between Jimmy Finley of Louisville and A1 Walther of Canton, Ohio, according to announcement of Captain Chase, matchmaker. The outdoor shows at Ft. Harrison are packing 'em in nowadays and Tuesday night’s card pleased a capacity crowd. The main go between Patsy Rocco of Chicago and Soldier Buck of Louisville was a real battle, with honors even at the end of ten fast sessions. Roceo’s Defense Buck appeared the better boxer and harder hitter, but the clever defense of Rocco was hard to penetrate, although the Chicago boy caught enough smacks to have sent a less tough -mauler to the resin. Rocco’s campaign was directed almost wholly at the Soldier’s stomach, and he landed often enough in that section to slow Buck down and earn a draw. Buck's cheek was laid open in the fifth. Rocco was announced as weighing 151 and Buck 157. Happy Atherton started out cautiously in his eight-round semi-wind-up with Mike O’Dowd of Columbus. Ohio, but gradually gained confidence and forced the fighting toward the end in whirlwind fashion, getting the decision. It was a slight edge, but was merited. Briney Takes Count Johnny Murphy of Chicago, a protege of Rocco, knocked out Eddie Briney of Louisville In the second round of their scheduled sixround prelim. Cliff Antrobus of this city outslugged A1 Sampson of New York and won their six-round prelim at 136 pounds. , Royal Cox, Brightwood pride, used his reach, and also his head, in keeping out of the way of the stronger Georgie Herman of Indianapolis and won on points.

NEW YORK GREETS SPORT HEROES OF WORLD GAMES Numerous Yankee Men and Women Winners at Paris Re.r.&u*>,, turn Home on Liner America, By HENRY FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—Many of America’s triumphant Olympic athletes, sun-bronzed, clear-eyed, young men and women who swept nearly everything before them at £aris, arrived home today. Some of the Yankee winners are irfjreland, competing in the Irish games, but the majority landed here today. They will be guests at a dinner tonight.
Their victory at the eighth Olympiad was the most overwhelming in the history of the modern games; their welcome home was the most enthusiastic a sweltering city, in the name of a nation, could give. In Early Morning In the early morning haze, the municipal boat Macon went down the calm harbor to meet the liner America at quarantine. The official welcome was accorded the returning athletes ' aboard the America down the bay. Then, while harbor vessels tooted and shrieked a welcome, the big liner, with the little Macon alongside, went to her pier at Hoboken. Bands were there to blare a welcome and crowds gathered early for a “welcome home” to the victorious athletes. Speech by Hylan The Macon and another municipal boat were to transport the Olympic victors and the reception committee to pier A, down by the Battery, an excellent place to start a triumphant march up the narrow canyon of Broadway in the shadow of the skyscrapers to city hall, where Mayor Hylan had a speech of welcome for the team and a medal for each member.
