Third Colonel-Tribe Double'Header Ends A* A. Season at Local Park

INDIANS FIND ANCIENT RIVALS HARD TO CHECK Saturday and Sunday Twin Bills Are Divided and Bushmen Cling to League Lead, Ownie Bush's Indians were to close the home season this afternoon in a double header with the Louisville Colonels, the third twin bill in three days. The old rivals broke even Saturday and Sunday, and. as the Saints lost to the Sunday, the local team retained the league lead. Petty and Niles were the probable Tribe pitchers for the battles today.

The scores Saturday were 3 to 2, Louisville, thirteen innings and 3 to 0. Indianapolis, five and one-half innings. Darkness cut short the second fracas Sat. /day. On Sunday the Colonels grabbed the opener, 10 to 2, and Indianapolis the second, 6 to 1. About S.OOO fans viewed the Sun day struggles, extreme heat holding down attendance. Louisville hit the ball hard in the first game Sunday and romped in with the laurels without much trouble. Hill was knocked out of the box and Eller, who took up the job, failed to check the visitors' attack. Southpaw Koob usually proves a mark for the Indians, but after the first inning Sunday he tightened and the Tribe couldn't hit in the pinches. In the second conflict Sunday Fred Fitzsimmons did the Tribe flinging and held the enemy to four hits. Holley and Baylin performed on the rubber for the Colonels. Manager Bush will take the Indians to Toledo Tuesday to meet the Hens in a series. It will mark the start of the Tribe's final road trip. Seven cities will be visited, as follows- Toledo. Columbus. Louisville, Kansas City. Milwaukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis. . Old Jay Kirke helped the Tribe Sunday when he beat the Saints by poling a home run with the bases jammed when Manager Kelley of the Millers u§ed him as a pinch Hitter in the ninth.

SEMI-FINALS IN NATIONAL TENNIS AT FOREST HILLS Four of Greatest Netters Meet for Chance to Play in Title Match, Bv HENRY L. FARRfcLL. Vnited Staff Correspondent FOREST HILLS, N. Y„ Sept. 1 Three former champions of the world and the former holder of the title meet this afternoon on the courts of the West Side Tennis Club in the stmi-final round of the national American tennis championship. William T. Tilden, holder of the 1921 Wimbledon then rated as the world's championship; Gerald Patterson, another winner of the title at Wimbledon; Bill Johnston, winner of the 1923 title at Wimbledon. and Vincent Richards, the 1924 Olympic champion, enter the round before the final to decide the pair that will fight it out for the championship Tuesday. Weather conditions were ideal for the fast play that is sure to come from a quartet of the world's greatest stars. Bill Johnston, the little California star, was to appear in the first match at 2 p. m.. against Patterson, the powerful Australian champion. Vincent Richards, who won the Olympic singles championship at Paris, which was as much of a world’s championship tournament as was ever staged, must eliminate Tilden in the second match at 3:30 p. m.. if he is to get into the final round.

COLLEGE VA ULTERS SEEM TO HA VE REACHED LIMIT Height of 13 Ft, 1 In,, Made in 1912, Has Been Raised Only 1 Inch During Intervening Years, Back in 1912, Bob Gardner set anew collegiate pole vault record of 13 feet 1 inch. It has been twelve years since Gardner leaped to fame by rising above the thirteen-foot mark. That’s quite a span. But in those following dozen campaigns only one scant inch has been added to Gardner’s feat.

Dean BrowniM. University of .Illinois, cleared 13 feet 2 Inches at the Big Ten meet last year. This mark s*i’J stands as American collegiate record. Have the college vaulters reached the maximum In height? Judging from their scant accomplishments in the past twelve years it would appear that such is the case. From 1902 to 1912 some IS Inches were added to the mark, 11 feet 6 inches being considered a top-notch effort a little over a decade ago. Charles Dvorak of Michigan was one of the best in the country along about the beginning of the twentieth century. He was good for around 11 feet 6 Inches every time out. Then came Martin Dole, Stanford and others with leaps of 12 feet and 12 feet six inches, followed by Gardner and Brownell. And there is has stopped. True, stars like Frank Foss and Mark Wright have bettered Brownell's performance, hut not as college athletes. Ralph Spearow, University of Oregon man, who went over with the 1924 Olympic team, has been credited with a leap of 13 feet 6 inches in practice, but in actual competition has fallen far below that figure. In the recent international games he failed miserably. Track and field records —most of them —are being smashed every season, but the pole vault sees very few changes. Crum Shifted Around Cal Crum, veteran right-hander, recently with Tulsa of the Western League, has been signed by Fort Smith of the Western Association.

FAIR RACE CARD GEES ORDER WAY AT LOCAL TRACK Four Events on Program First Day—Pacing Feature Tuesday, Race Program Today At State Fairground, 1 P. M. 2:18 Pace, Purse SI,OOO starters. 2:08 Trot, the Horseman Stake, Purse $3,000 —3 starters. 2:20 Trot, Purse SI,OO0 —IS starters. . 3-Yc-ar-Old Pace, Purse SI,OO0 —6 siarters. The week's harness racing at the State fairground track started today at 1 p. m. Four events were on the day's card, with the Horseman stake for 2:OS trotters as the feature. Other events were 2:18 pace 2:20 trot and 3-year-old pace. The Horseman stake had an entrust of twelve, which Included Fayette National, the sensational Milwaukee trotter, which has been going good on the Grand Circuit and Western Circuit and is the leading money winner of the year among the trotters. Six are entered in the 3-year-o!d pace. Theodore Guy, Sep Palin's good colt, which has won on the Grand Circuit this year, is the favored one here, but there are some other fast steppers, including the fast filly, Albia Maxey. An unwieldy field was to face the starter in the 2:20 trot as eighteen have been declared in. John Gallagher of Dick MaMahon's stable with an impressive victory last week at Milwaukee looks like the choice here. A dozen starters were cardM in the 2:IS pace. Anything was liable to happen in this event. The big feature for Tuesday is the $3,000 three-cornered match race between Single G, Margaret Dillon, and Sir Roch, three famous pacers. All of them arrived from Milwaukee Sunday and are reported in good shape. The trio raced sensationally at the Wisconsin State fair.
