Indians Shift to Columbus Sunday After Series Finale With Toledo Club

RIBE CARDED 4 DAYS IN CAMP OF SENA TORS Wind-up Battle With Hens Is 'Rubber' Game Petty Scores Victory No, 25 —Hodapp Shines, By United Press TOLEDO, Sept. 6.—This was the Indians’ last day in Toledo during 1924 and they hoped to capture the edge on the series by annexing the wind-up struggle this afternoon. The Iloosiers will shift to Columbus Sunday to open a four-day stay at the playground of the Senators. Manager Bush was undecided this morning about his pitching selection for today. Hill, 3lorton, Niles and Smith were ready for the assignment.

The Tribesmen retained their slender league lead as a result of trimming the Hens in the fourth of the series Friday, 5 to 3. The Saints and Colonels also won Friday and kept the pennant race red hot. Southpaw .Jess Repeats Jess Petty registered his twentyfifth win of the season Friday. Toledo getting to him in only one inning, the eighth. The Tribe lefty made a quick recovery in the ninth and turned the Hens back in one, two, three order. He held the enemy to seven hits. Paul McCullough was found for twelve hits in eight innings and Giard one in one stanza. The Indians tajlied one marker in the first Inning, one in the second, one in the and two In the eighth. Oh. yes. was the usual struggle, despite me thirteen hits. Johnny Hodapp banged out two triples in four trips to the plate and Eddie Sicking and Pug Allen each poled three safeties. “Hodie” is doing very well on this eastern trip. Sehmandt Returns Ray Sehmandt got back in the game at first base for the Tribe, but failed to get one safe. Christenburv. Sehmandt and Petty were the only Indians who did not find a safe spot. Christie has been in a slight slump. Three hits by Pug Allen made Manager Bush hop with glee. If Pug regains his old batting eye the long, long trail won’t be hard to travel. Pug helped win the Hoosiers many ames before he fell into a slump. The weather here has been cold and attendance at the Tribe-Hen games has been a Joke.

Y., Sept. 6.—'“Just my luck if something does happen. It’s the easiest fight I ever had, and I’ve been afraid it was too good to be true.”

Harry Wills, training here for the contest against Luis Firpo in Jersey City next Thursday, made this comment when told immigration authorities held a warrant for Firpo’a arrest: “I never felt so good before,” Wills said. ‘‘l never worked better or tried harder to get into a fight and felt so sure of myself. Firpo got a big reputation by staying a couple of minutes with Dempsey, but I look upon him as a cinch.” In Camp Six Weeks Wills, in appearance, carries out what he says of himself. The big negro fighter is in splendid condition. He has been living and working here for six weeks. Some experienced' trainers thought Wills was doing too much strenuous work and (hat he was running the risk of going stale. He has mixed so much play and amusement with work, however, that lie seems to have gotten himself just at the proper edge. When he finished work with his sparring partners hero Friday, he had nothing but a good perspiration to show for tho exhibition. He wasn't blowing a bit. He’s I tvting Chesty "I could go into a finish fight and I know I could outlast any fighter in the business.” Wills said. Wills lias been complaining about his inability to get more sparring partners, but he tiiinks now that it was Just as well that he didn't get more help as he might have done too much work. In his boxing, Wills does not seem to be carrying out any particular style of attack and says he has not made any definite plans. He says he'll make his fight when he gets in the ring.

ROMROJASIN HARTER FEATURE Jersey Heavy to Sub for Fitz —Hard Puncher and Willing Mixer, Joe McCann, Newark (N. J.) heavyweight, has been substituted for Young Bob Fitzsimmons to clash with Romero Rojas, Chilean heavyweight champion, in the main go of ten rounds at the Washington A. C. show, Tomlinson Hall, next Thursday night. McCann was obtained by Promoter Harter when Young Fitzsimmons asked to be taken off the card. Fitz’s manager said his fighter was unable to do sufficient training, owing to recent illness. Fitz requested a postponement of the match, but Rojas refused because of many offers ho has for bouts in the East. McCann will not make a bad substitute for Fitz. He is a hard hitter and is known as a trial horse. He fought Luis Firpo once and scored a short knockdown over the South American. Among other heavies he has met are listed Floyd Johnson, Bartley Madden, Jack Clifford, Young Fitzsimmons and Bob Martin.

HAL MAHONE IS ALL BY HIMSELF IN 2:05 PACE Nebraska Gelding Too Good in Final Day's Feature at Fair —'Pop'Geers Memorial Fund Started The feature event of the closing program at the State Fair races Friday, the $9,000 Governor’s Stake for 2:05 pacers, did not furnish many thrills. Hal Mahone, the bay gelding from Omaha, Neb., driven by Childs, was just too good. This fast wiggler was first to the wire in every heat.

The third heat supplied the best race when Logan Hedgewood set the pace, but was caught in the stretch by Hal Mahone in a good finish. The best time made was 2:05% which was good considering the cool weather and a breeze blowing against the horses down the stretch. The secondary feature, the $2,000 Kurtze Amusement Company stake for 2:11 pacers was won by Derby Dillon, a two-time victor this week, after Little George surprised by taking the first heat. The first heat was won in an exciting stretch duel in which Bessie McKiyo could not stand the winner’s rush. Not in Form Bessie McKiyo was thought best in this race, but is not in her best form at this time, having Just recovered from a sick spell. The last heat was negotiated in 2:05%. The best entertainment of the day was furnished in the 2:09 class trot in which an extra heat was necessary to decide the winner. Miss Ellen Todd, which won the first heat, could not be kept at her task in the remainder and with victory in sight on two occasions, including the raceoff, broke within the final 200 yards. Jean Axworthy got away to a fine start and won N the second heat. Lewis Azoff was second in both the first and second heats after getting away last in the field of eight. In Third Heat Supreme Justice was the third heat winner. Miss Ellen Todd, with a good chance of victory, "broke” in the stretch. Again in the extra heat, with the three winners battling it out, Miss Ellen Todd decided to run instead of trot, and Supreme Justice came home ahead in the slow time of 2:11. A fund for a “Pop” Geers memorial was started at the State fair among the drivers. It is planned to appoint a committee, which will decide on the form and place of the memorial for the groat old harness horse race driver, who was killed at Wheeling, W.
