Indians Open Long Road Trip—National Net Singles Title Match Staged
tTRIBE IN ENEMY CAMPS REMAINDER OF SEASON Bushmen Perform in Toledo After Dividing Six-Game Series With Colonels—Schmandt and Miller Out. The league-leading Indians were in Todelo today to open their final road trip of the season and the pennant will be won or lost in enemy territory. Seven cities will be visited by the Tribesmen and they will close at Minneapolis Sept. 2S. As the long trip started, the Hoosiers were out in front by seven points, with the Saints second and the Colonels third.
Owing to the fact the Saints have | an advantage in playing all their remaining games on the home lot, the majority of A. A. critics favor them to annex the flag, but you never can , tell in baseball and the Indian play- I ers, as well as the Colonels, refuse ! to be counted out at this time. 24 for Petty In the Tribe’s at-home wind-up Labor Day. the double-header was divided, Indianapolis taking the first, 6 to 2, and Louisville the second. 6 to 0. Jess Petty registered his twenty-fourth pitching victory of the season when he turned the Colonels ! back in the day’s opener. Estell was too strong for the Tribesmen in the ; second and scored a shut-out. The three twin bills between the j old rivals were split. The crowd Saturday numbered about 5.000, SunBiy about 8,000 and the attendance i Monday was about 7.000. Season’s Attendance The Indians doubled their last year's attendance, but were kept from the high figure by poor weather on their Sunday attractions. Local total attendance here passed the 200,000 mark. It was 103,000 in 1923. The Indians were crippled as they started down the long, long trail. ! Otto Miller, second-string catcher, has an injured back and Ray Schmandt, first baseman, is forced te take a few days off because of the illness of his wife. Both men are expected to rejoin the team when it reaches Columbus. Walter Rehg has a lame leg. but probably will have to get in the game. The Local Wind-up .

CRITICS THINK JOHNSTON MAY DOWN BILL TILDEN Champion Has Narrow Escape in Semi-Finals Against Richards —Will Feel Effects of Strenuous Battle, By HENRY L. FARRELL, By Vnited Press Staff Correspondent United Press Staff Correspondent FOREST HILLS, N. Y., Sept. 2.—Two years ago, Vinnia Richards, making a desperate effort to win the American tennis I championship, met Billy Johnston, the California star, in the semi-ffnal round of the national tournament.
Richards fought so furiously he carried Johnston into an extra set match and he took so much out of the little Californian that Johnston had nothing left when he met Tilden in the final round and “Little Bill” went down. There were possibilities of a repetition of 1922 in the final round of the championship this afternoon at the West Side Tennis Club when Tilden and Johnston took the court. History Repeats Where Johnston slumped under the physical pressure and the nervous strain that the youthful Richards put him through in 1922 it was Tilden today who might suffer a relapse in form after the narrowest escape he ever had from losing his championship. While 10.000 spectators looked on in amazement here Monday afternoon, Richards came within the proverbial flee’s whiskers of downing the great champion. Tilden was so near exhaustion and his nerves were so frayed from the strain and heat he scarcely could make himself audible in the last set of a desperate fiveset match when he asked the umpire to please keep the stands quiet. Will Feel Effects "Tilden will feel the effects of that experience Tuesday and he will have to be al! that Tilden ever was to beat Billy Johnston,” one of the officials of the tennis association said after the match. Johnston never had a better chance to win back his title than in the match this afternoon. Tilden to win must be the greatest player that ever lived if Johntson is in Monday's form. In the semi-finals Johnston swept through to victory' over Patterson, the Australian. 6-2, 6-0, 6-0.

MS IS SIGNED FOR MATCH HERE AT HARTER SHOW South American Heavy- ' weight to Box at Tomlinson Hall Sept, 11. Promoter Steve Harter today* announced he had signed Quentin Romero Rojas, South American heavyweight, to box an opponent to be named later, here at Tomlinson Hall. Sept. 11. It will be the opening of the local indoor fistic season. Rojas has been getting much publicity in the East, where he disposed of Jack Sharkey at Boston last week. He stopped Sharkey in eight rounds, much to the surprise of Boston glove followers. Sharkey was being boosted as a comer in the heavy ranks. Rojas outpointed the Tankee and then put the sleep punch to him near the finish. Rojas has learned fast in the short time he has been in the States and he is proving a mild sensation. Promoter Harter was forced to offer a big guarantee to get the South American here. Harter said he will bring other fistic headliners to Indianapolis for his shows if the Rojas attraction proves a drawing card.
