BREWERS OPEN SERIES WITH , OWNIE’S'INDIANS Five Contests Carded With Milwaukee Fitz Downs Blues and Tribe Gains on Leading Saints. By EDDIE ASH The visiting attraction changed at Washington Park today. The K. C. Blues moved out and the Milwaukee Brewers unpacked their bats for a stay of four days in the camp of the hustling Indians. One battle was carded this afternoon, a twin bill is scheduled Sunday, and single games Monday and Tuesday. The Sunday bill will start at 2 o’clock.

Carmen Hill was the probable mound worker for the series opener t’h the Brewers today. He has n twirling in good form recently. b Brewers are running seventh but they have a number of hard hitters in their line-up and have given the Indians some stiff opposition this season. While an electrical storm held the league-leading Saints idle at Toledo Friday, the second-place Indians grabbed the series finale from the Blues here and gained a few points In the pennant race. The score was 7 to 2. Big Fred Fitzsimmpns had one of his good days and he was master of the contest after he got his fast ball and knuckle fooler controlled. He was found for nine hits, but a few were flukes turned Into safeties by the trick wind. Fitz struck out four and helped at bat by driving in two runs with a sharp single to center In the fourth. Joe Dawson, late of Cleveland, hurled for Dr. Lavan’s K. C. sluggers and the Tribe collected eleven hits and five walks.

K r ~~~ RUEGER, Schmandt and Sicking -were the Tribe’s leading i—— hitters Friday. Ernie poled two singles and & double. Sicking a double and triple and Schmandt two timely one-base knocks. Hodapp doubled in the eighth and scored on Sicking’s triple. Jones, Burwell and Bailey can not even put on uniforms and Sicking and Rehg barely are able to navigate because of leg injuries. The fans certainly hand the Indians for winning with all those J\ndlcaps to face. Johnny Hodapp accepted eleven chances at second Friday without hobbling once. His play on Branom’s drag bunt in the ninth was a wiz. His pivot work is improving on the Indians’ “Cincinnati double play”— Sicking to Hodapp to Schmandt. Sweeney, rookie outfielder, got three of the Blues’ safeties in the series wind-up. The suspension of Manager Bush will be lifted after today, according to information received from the Chicago office of President Hickey. This will enable Ownie to direct the team

Expert Tennis Talks < By Mercer Beasley

SHIS is addressed to the muny tennis players. The city fathers’ attitude toward tennis has changed sharply in recent years. Tou no longer have to bring your own net3. or chalk your own lines. In most cities the free park facilities for tennis are thoroughly adequate. There is no reason why you shouldn’t develop a good game. And in so doing there is no reason why you shouldn’t learn the rules. The fact that you are playing on park courts and in matches with no great Importance attached thereto is no reason why you shouldn’t respect all the rules of hthe game, just as scrupulously as Pc you were playing in a major league championship. Time after time I have seen park players ignore foot faults, fall to change courts after the odd game, hit the net with the racket and make many other common violations of the rules. The bad feature o( this is that you get in the

Stops Bloomfield in Third — Zimmer, Ledbetter in Golf Finals

BRITISH HEA VY PROVES EASY MARK FOR YANKEE Huge London Crowd Moans as Their Latest Fistic Hope Is Carried Out With Toes Up. By United Press LONDON, Aug. 9.—Tommy Gibbons, American heavyweight boxer, knocked out Jack Bloomfield, British heavyweight champion, in an international contest this afternoon in the Wembly stadium. The end came in the third round of a scheduled twenty-round bout. It was an easy win for the clever boxer from St. Paul. ,

The fighters were slow in entering the ring and the big crowd became impatient 5.% the delay. There K k aHI B • TOMMY GIBBONS. was a big cheer when Referee Corry called them to the center of ring for the final instructions. Gibbons rushed from his comer at the bel4 and tore fiercely into the Englishman. He apparently had been sent out to make a short fight

in the Sunday double program. Otto Miller has been acting manager. Tribe fans won’t see the Blues again until 1925. The Wednesday game wound up the K. C.’s third trip here. The popular Bunny Brief, home-run slugger, didn’t do so well here, but the fans readily admit he can crash the ball. mIMMY ZINN batted for Griffith in the ninth and was a strikeout victim. Jimmy usually hits right-handers. The business manager of the Blues expressed the opinion that Indianapolis doesn’t appreciate its ball club to the extent cities of similar population do. Perhap# the Sunday double-header will show improved attendance. Extreme heat probably kept many fans away during the K. C. series. Jack Hendricks’ Cincy Reds are negotiating for the purchase of Outfielder Christensen of the Saints. Hendricks likes Christensen's fielding and his skill as lead-off man.

habit of ignoring rules and when you do arrive and the city and State tournaments beckon you, you are sure to find yourself at a decided disadvantage. Here's an example: A park player was entered in the city tournament. He was a good player and he fought his way into the finals, meeting a local player of established prestige. They split the first two sets. The park player, in the last set, led by games, 5 and 4. At this point his opponent made a wild shot. It was headed for the back stop. The park player stuck up his hand and caught the ball. Now as the :f?ore was at deuce before the ball was hit the park player’s advantage would been strengthened If he hadn’t heedlessly caught the ball. Under the rule, of course, the point was scored against him. He had gone after the ball. "Well, we catch ’em like that In the parks,” was his futile explanation. *

of it. Bloomfield was cautious and he retreated before the advances of the American, sticking out a left hand to keep Qibbons from getting close. Bloomfield Improved toward the end of the round, but Gibbons had the advantage clearly. Gibbons dashed again from his corner at the start of the second round and carried a savage attack to the Englishman. Gibbons landed a hard left to the body and a right to the jaw and Bloomfield went down for the count of seven. * Another right to the jaw sent him to the floofi for the count of nine and he came up groggy. Falls Through Ropes Bloomfield staggered and fell through the ropes with his head hanging down oyer the press table and his face bleeding badly. His feet were inside the ring and he was struggling to get up when the gong sounded and saved him. Desperate efforts were made in the corner to revive Bloomfield, but he was almost out on his feet when he staggered out for the third round. Gibbons measured him for a right hand and floored him for count of five. Bloomfield struggled gamely to his feet only to be knocked clear through the ropes by a hard left and ancrther right to the jaw. Jack was caught by the count just as the referee was waiving Gibbons back to his comer. . When Bloomfield was picged up and carried back to his corner a moan went through the crowd. Another hope restoration of the British ring prestige had gone the way of Wells, Beckett, Goddard and others. No Doubt About It • There was no doubt from the first gong that Gibbons would win. It was Just a question of the number of rounds ar.d the time that Bloomfield would be atje to stand up under such vicious punishment. Gibbons lost no time In getting started. He started on the attack with supreme confidence and refused to feel out or try the punishing of his opponent. Bloomfield had little but courage and a game fighting heart. He landed hardly, a bjow on the American, and when he did reach the elusive Gibbons there wasn’t enough steam in his punches to do the slightest damage. The crowd, estimated at 80,000 to 90.000, gave Bloomfield a fine testimonial for his gameness and when Gibbons jumped from the ring and started for his dressing room, he was given a demonstration. Gibbons was hardly breathing as he worked his way through the crowd.

TEXAS JUDGES PROUD OF SLUGGING NEPHEWS Hornsby and Falk Both Come From Austin, Where Uncles Rule in Courts af Law, NBA Service AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 9.—Austin, capital of the largest State in the Union, has more than that single reason to feel distinguished. Last week Judge W. Hornsby and Judge Henry Falk got together in a discussion of this and that.

The former casually remarked that his nephew. Rogers, Is again leading the National League In batting. Whereupon Judge Falk returned, ’’Oh. stop bragging, look what my nephew; Bib. is doing in the American League.” Bib is up near the top In. the American League."Yes. sir! And Rogers was raised right here In Austin,’’’ Hornsby boasted. “So was Bib,”-put In Falk. ‘‘ln fact, this still Is his home.” Austin Very Proud The news got around the town with the usual speed that hot gossip travels In towns the size of Austin. Austin threw out its chest when it learned about Its two distinguished sons. Sensational Rise The rise of Falk and Hornsby to stardom in the majors has been sensational. Rogers first came to notice in Ft. Worth In 1913 in a high school league after his family moved from Austin. His brother, "Pep,” was a star pitcher for the Dallas team In the Texas League. He persuaded Joe Gardner, owner of the Dallas club, to give Rogers a trial. The younger Hornsby was a wonder in the field, at short, but poor at bat. Gardner advised him to go out to a smaller league and in due time Rogers joined Hugo, Okla., later shifting to Denison. Texas, where ho was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1915. Falk Collegian Falk first attracted attention when he was with Billy Disch's University of Texas Southwestern Conference champions In 1919. He pitched, played first base and outfield. In 1920 Kid Gleason of the White Sox saw him in an exhibition game and prevailed upon Owner Comiskey to sign Falk. The transaction was made. Now Bib is regarded as or>e of the 1 est looking players in the American League. Falk has a young brother in Texas now who looks even better than Bib did in his college days.

INDIANA'S FIRST ‘BIG LEAGUE’ GOLF AT FRENCH LICK Hoosler Course Will ’Test Driving Power of Pros in National Meet. BySTimes Special , FRENCH LICYC, Ind., Aug. • The man with the punch will win the Professional Golfers’ Association tournament at French Lick, Sept. 14 to 20, when the great pro stars meet in. the annual battle for the championship. That is, the man with the long drive and the long brassie, for the French Lick course, like the modern championship courses, is built for the player of the long carry.
