Three Games Here Over Week-End —Net Doubles Title Matches Staged

Indians battle hens IN TWIN BILL' SUNDA Y * Tribesmen Face Stiff Task in Staying Ahead of Saints— Locals Hit Hard to Win Friday, By EDDIE ASH With the Louisville Colonels showing signs of slipping, the furious A. A. pennant fight threatens to become a two*club battle with Indians and Saints engaged in a struggle down the stretch. Ownie Bush’s athletes still were leading by a few points today and they hope to retain the slight edge over the week-end. They were to meet the Hens in a single scramble this afternoon, but Sunday they must perform twice.

The double-header Sunday is ei pected to attract another capacity crowd to the W. Washington St. yard. Fitz was slated to pitch today and it looks as though Niles and Petty will get the call in the twin program Sunday. Four in Row The Indians walloped • the Hens, here Friday, 13 to 3.. the Saints' blanked the Blues, 3 to 0, at Kansas I City, and Co’umbus noseu. out the \ Colonels at Louisville, 16 to 15. Fri- j day’s win was the fourth straight victory for the Tube. Can not aftoi and to lose even one battle ir this j red-hot campaign—the Saints are ready- to leap forward. That St. Paul crew evidently has haorked all the bad baseball out of system and evidently has settled down for the grand finale. As for the Indians, they emerged from their batting slump Friday and pounded the sphere ail over the lot. It was ar. encouraging sign to Manager Bush. The locals are getting good pitching and if the hitters deliver the team will be hard to check. Another Win for Hill Hill went the full route Friday, while the Indians slammed the offerings of Scott and McCullough in several directions. It took some time to solve Scott, but after the Tribesmen opened up in earnest the tall veteran was driven to the dugcut. The Indians scored ten runs in the sixth inning, every local athlete with the exception of Allen hitting safely in that round. Eddie Sicking got a single and triple in the big stanza, 1 his triple coming with Jhe bases populated. It was a peculiar day for Jack Scott. He started out to be a hero and wound up as a discard. Jack poled a triple and home run in the early innings and pitched effectively until he ‘‘blew” in the sixth. Tribe and A. A. Gossip — : Jimmy Burke, Hen manager, was forced to use a makeshift line-up Friday. Louin▼ille objected to the playing of Shortstop Berg borrowed from Minneapolis, and Burke used Kelly at short and Nicholson, an outfielder, at second. Late m the game Burke received a wire from President Jockey granting him permission to play ft*' Ww Shortstop Helgeth jumped the Hens a few days ago and Second Baseman Maguire is on the crippled list. Hodapp used his long reach in the second inning and leaped and hooked Nicholson s line drive. Schmandt was a star sround the first sack and his fielding of low throws was #pec_aeuiar. Sicking played well at short, but had trouble keeping ins throws to first off the ground.

Scott’s homer in the fifth hopped through the wire fence ni the far left field comer. His triple in the third was misjudged by Alien and went to the left center field fence. Schliebner got three of the Tol-do hitg and pulled a feature catch on Hodapp s foul in the fifth. He reached into a front box and snared the ball with one hand. Christenbury poled two doubles and a single. Carmen Hill helped himself to two hits In addition to twirling effectively. Louisville used sixteen players Friday but fell one run short of knotting the count against the Senators. The Colonels •cared five runs In the ninth. Jack Hendricks had tough breaks at Cincinnati Friday. Boehne opened the ninth with a tripie and only one run was needed to win. The Phillies passed the next two Reds. A double play followed. first to home to third, and the third out was easy In the eleventh the Reds had two men on with one down when Crltz hit into a double play. Critz was the victim of the double killing in the ninth also. The Phils won. 5 to 3. Jack Hendricks signed his 1925 Cincy contract Friday He reached term* with the Red directors several days ago. Milwaukee has purchased Pitcher Eddelman from Flint. He is a lefty and has won nineteen and lost four. Pritchard has been returned to Flint. Denny Gearin. southpaw vet. has joined the Brewers He has been incapac tated by a sor6 arm. Pitchers Willoughby and McCracken and Outfielder Shult ha\ s been purchased from fc-aterloo.

UNKNOWNS SHOW CLASS IN MEETS Qualifying Tourneys Bring New Pros to Front, The Professional Golfers’ Association tourney at French Lick, Sept. 14 to 20, ranks along with the national open in golfing class. In fact, all the big guns of the professionals will be there, with the exception of those who fail to qualify. The qualifying tests, which are now- being held scctionally, are showing there are some great new golfers coming, any one of whom may rise from the mass, as Cyril Walker did at Detroit, to win the champinship. Gene Sarazen is the present champion. He will defend .his title and seek to win that honor for the third successive time. He defeated Walter Hagen last year on the thirtyeighth hole at Pelham. The year before he won the P. G. A. championship at Oakmont, Pittsburgh, from the veteran, Emmett French. If the golfers who attend the meet as fans wish to shoot some golf, they may do so, according to the announcement which comes from the French Lick Hotel, but the game must be played on the lower course.

FOOTBALL SEASON ONLY ONE MONTH AWAY NOW Butler vs, Hanover Sept, 27 Will Open Local Collegiate Season —Few Pule Changes, Football season is only a month away. The official college opening in Indianapolis will be Sept. 27 when Butler meets Hanover at Irwin field. The casual spectator will note only two real changes in the game from last year. The rules committee in their December meeting made a number of changes, but most of these were clarifications or slight corrections and the general aspect of the game will be the same.

The kickoff will not be made from a tee on the forty-yard line. It will be made from the 50-yard line. The rule states the kick-off “is made by kicking the ball from its position while it is resting on the ground. It is not allowable to scrape the earth and no tees shall be permitted, but the ball may be held for the kick.” The second and only other change the casual watcher will note is that the try-for-point after touchdown will be made from the 3-yard line instead of the 5-yard mark. Comment on this last change from football observers over the country, is not favorable. Cunningham in the Boston Post says, “This change seems dumb. The committee has rebuilt the game to encourage open play. Now they insert a clause encouraging mass play on the goal line, with a reward of an additional point if the mass play is only vicious enough.” ' Other changes of little concern to spectators, but important technically, refer to the mechanics of the game. They give officials more to worry over and more authority. Grand Circuit Results At North Rarvdafl (Ohio) Friday Free-for-AU CiaM.

TIINNEY’S ASSENT IS NEEDED FOR GIBBONS BATTLE Tom Agrees to Tex's Terms, but Gene Appears to Be Disinclined, By HENRY L. FARRELL United Prenn Staff Correnpondent NEW YORK, Aug. 23—Articles signing t-ene Tunney, American light heavyweight champion, to defend his title against Tommy Gibbons in Madison Square Garden Nov. 21, were expected to be signed today. One half of the match was closed late Friday when Tex Rickard’s terms for a percentage of the gate receipts were accepted by Eddie Kane, manager for Gibbons. Reports that Gibbons was demanding SIOO,OOO were denied by Rickard and by Kane. Rickard offered a percentage of the receipts, in compliance with the rules of the boxing commission, and it was accepted. Billy Gibson, who handles Tunney. said several days ago that Tunney wanted the match, but insisted Tunney was worth more money than Gibbons,. Rickard made him an offer, told him to take It or leave it, and went to Saratoga Springs to look over Luis Angel Firpo, who is training there for his coming fight with Harry Wills. With Gibbons signed and ready to go, Tunney is placed in the position where ho must accept the match or give evidence of being unwilling to meet the St. Paul boxer. Kane said he would be willing to sign Gibbons for a match with Jack Renault, Canadian champion, who is being steamed up as a heavyweight challenger.
