Fans Prepare to Give Bush’s Indians Noisy Farewell in Final Home Battles
y COLONELS INVADE CITY FOR SIX-GAME SERIES With Three Double Bills Carded, Local Rooters Are Set for Gala Time —Senators Defeated. By EDDIE ASH Ring out, pennant bells! Ownie Bush’s Indians defeated the Columbus Senators Friday, 6 to 5, and made a few more points gain over the second-place Saints and the third-place Colonels. The fans are becoming goofy. Starting this afternoon the Tribesmen were to open a six-game series with Louisville at Washington Park. Two games today, two Sunday and two Monday. Everybody out for the battle of bats I
The series starting today is the last at home for the Indians, and when they leave here Monday night for Toledo they will operate in enemy territory until the close of the season, Sept. 28. In Fighting Mood It’s been a furious race. The Indians have been in the running at all times—never below third. Injuries and sickness have proved handicaps, but Ownie Bush’s hustlers are pennant hungry and determined to fight until the very last. Louisville has had a recent slump, but the McCarthy athletes came to the city today in scrappy mood and with a feeling this series may enable them to get back in wanning stride. Whenever Colonels and Indians I meet, it's dog eat dog. | Tribe club officials have prepared to handle enormous attendance the three days the Colonels are here. (JLiy Morton and Fitzsimmons were the probable Tribe pitching selections for the twin program today. Niles Checks ’Em Indian hopes fell Friday when Columbus rallied in the eighth, scored four runs and drove Bill Burwell from the mound, but in the local half of the eighth the home boys rallied and scored twice, taking the lead again, 6 to 5. And that’s the way the struggle finished. 'Ned Niles relieved Burwell and checked the enemy. Walter Rehg was in the game with wild determination. He got three hits, nearly got four, scored three times and helped cut off a Senator runner at the plate. Krueger drove in two runs. Hodapp one. Jones one. Schmandt one and Jones scored a marker on a double steal.
Washington Park Gossip Fans who have order box seat tickets for Sunday and Monday are urged to ca.. for the ducats this afternoon and avoid the crush around the office. It will heip. It was Burwell's first start in several weeks when he opened on the mound for the Tribe Friday. He was effective until the eighth when his strength gave out Bill is a willing ball player and asked Bush to send ntm out for a test. He believes he will be able to perform regularly the remainder of the season. Hank Schreiber p’ayed swell ball at short for CeUimbus. Third Baseman Davis was banish-d in the fifth for,'disputing a [decision hy Umpire Connolly. Baird look fcavis' place an d started the Senators’ rally gn the eighth. Scout Bill Hinchman of the Pirates says he likes the actions of Johnny Hodapp Hodapp performed in fine style at third Friday. He got one hit in the seventh. Brooks snared one of.his long drives out near the deen center field fence. Sicking and Schmandt went hitless until the eighth when both singled and helped the winning Tribe rally. Sicking get off the victory powder. Baseball Calendar AMERICAN' ASSOCIATION' Won. Lost.

FAMOUS PLAYERS MAY COMPETE IN CITYTOORNAMENT
Local Tennis Meet at Hawthorn Courts Week of Sept, 15. Willis Adams, president of the Associated Tennis Clubs of Indianapolis, today announced plans for the city tennis tournament at Hawthorn courts the week of Sept. 15. Fred Grumme of the Hawthorn Club is chairman of the tourney committee. Rather ambitions plans are under way to make the affair more high powered than is usual with the Indianapolis meet. Some of the local tennis officials are in the East at the national championships and word | received back here is that a numj ber of the best players will com- ; pete in the Indianapolis meet. I Our own Johnny Hennessey will be one of the entries. Among the other stars who have signified an intention of playing here are Vincent Richards, Olympic champion; B. I. C. Norton, former South African Davis Cup player now residing in St. Louis; Kirk Reid of Cleveland; Wray Brown of St. Louis, and George Lott Jr. of Chicago, national junior champ. Such an entry would raise the annual meet much above the ordinary. It is not a tourney's title any more that makes for class. It is the entry list. Indianapolis seems to have found a warm spot in the hearts of many of the net stars and a high class entry list always seems assured in tourneys sponsored by the local tennis association. Big Leagues IOO.SE GOSLIN, Washington outfielder, hit a homer and two singles, drove in one run and scored three himself, beating the Y'anks almost lone-handed for the second time at 5-1, Friday. Eddie Brown’s single in the eighth inning Friday drove in two runs and helped the Robins come from behind and beat the Giants, 3-1. Vance won his twenty-third game of tile season, his eleventh in a row, and ran his total strikeouts up to 202, beating I his 1923 record. Two-base hits by Morrison and Carey in the ninth inning scored the run that gave the rirates a 5-4 vicI Tory over the Reds.
tori ITH a three-run rally in the ninth inning, the Browns beat —the Tigers. 7-6, in the second game, after Detroit had been downed, 30, in the first game. Myatt’s single in the tenth inning Friday, after Speaker had heen passed and a sacrifice hit, pushed over the run that gave the Cleveland Indians a 5-4 victory over the White Sox. Seven extra-base hits and five singles gave the Browns a 6-4 victory over the Phils. Rebind Ehmke's effective pitching Friday, the Red Sox won their third straight game from the Athletics, 5-1.

Hennessey was eliminated by Wallace Johnson whose comeback to his 1921 and 1922 form has been one of the sensations of the tournament. Norton was downed by young La, Coste after the Frenchman had been overwhelmed In the first set. The experts after getting their heads together figured that Tilden, Richards.

Rene La Coste after showing great form in beating Norton, has perhaps the hardest assignment of the day in trying to beat the great Billy Johnston.
