Owrtie Bush’s Indians Paul Camp for Big’ Association Series

,A. A. INTEREST CENTERS IN MINNESOTA CAPITAL Hoosiers Hold Only Slight Lead as Rivals Square Off for First Battle—Monday Games Split, By Timet Special ST. PAUL, Sept. 23.—Lexington Park was expected to he the scene of plenty of action this afternoon when the Indians of Indianapolis clashed with the Saints in the opening game of the series that may decide the 1024 championship of the American Association. The series calls for five contests.

The Hoosiers were three points ahead in the pennant race this morning. While the first and secondplace clubs are staging a scramble here, the third-place Louisville Colonels will battle the Millers in Minneapolis .starting Wednesday. (lose With Millers When the Tribesmen finish here I they will go to Mirfneapolis to close the season and the Colonels will come here. The Colonels still have an outside chance at the title. Jess Petty was slated to perform on the mound for the Indians this afternoon. Nick Allen's choice of pitcher for today was not known. Cliff Markle. local ace. beat the Hens in the second half of Monday's twin bill here, and he struck out fifteen men for a near A. A. record. 29 and 7 Jess Petty, the league's leading twirler, has won twenty-nine games against seven defeats. I Both Indians and Saints divided double-headers Monday, the Tribesmen beating the Brewers. 6 to 4. at Milwaukee and losing the second. 11 to 5. The Hens trimmed the Saints here. 10 to 6. hut Allen’s team copped the night cap. 5 to 2. WIND-UP AT MILWAUKEE Christie Bangs Timely Homer—Brewers Pound Ball in Second Game. Bn Times Special MILWAUKEE. Sept. 23.—Chris tenbury’s home-run with Sicking on base and the pitching of Eller, who relieved Morton, were outstanding features of the Indians' 6-to-4 victory over the Brewers Monday in the first half of the day's double-header. The feature of the second contest, won by Milwaukee, 11 to 5, was the slugging of th home team. Smith. Morton and Eller were driven off the Tribe mound. Niles, the fourth hurler used by Bush, was fairly effective. Opinion here is that the Indians will need the services of Rehg and Allen if the pennant is going to he annexed by Indianapolis. The two players were out of the entire series here because of injuries. Tom Whelan. also, was in no condition to play. If Bush is able to win with his crippled line-up. he will be performing a “miracle.” according to views of looal scribes.

NEW AND OLD COMBINE ON MANUAL GRID SQUAD Red and White Will Miss Backfield Stars, but Newcomers Appear Capable—Big Staff of Coaches, By DICK MILLER Manual plans to make an about face in football this fall, and a visit to their practice gridiron at Garfield Park, will convince any one that they mean business. A large staff of coaches is direct in? the squad. Athletic Director 11. F. Bannon is assisting Head Coach C. E. Swanson in getting the early season squad into shape. L. B. Maxwell of Illinois, Ragsdale of Franklin, former Sheridian mentor, and ■skarr are v assisting him, with Burl Evans teaching the freshmen the rudiments.

A number of the old men ar** bank, hut no doubt Manual will miss the Corum brothers and Howard, back field stars. The signal caller of the earn probably will h chosen from Cassidy. Klapper and Marshall. Cassidy looks best at this stage, although exceptionally light. Swanson has drawn Kellermover back out of the line and is using his ISO pounds as line smashing material. lie also has Cochran fight ing for the job. Martin. Stoeffier, Higgs and .Noil are almost sure to perform in the back field. With this array it is noticeable that there is more weight than last season. Malone at ( enter Malone is being groomed for the center position and several other candidates are endeavoring to show that they are to be taken into consideration. Eichman of basket baj! fame is out and his 175 pounds and that of Merrick, Littlejohn, who scale almost as much, m.ike good prospects for ll.v places. Hale. Frokall and Rrlde,l are also big men who are going to make a bid for tackle and guard po sltions. Hutton, who was center last year, has been moved out to end. Rose has about cinched the other wing. Manual seems to have more o'd men back than Tech and far more than Shi rtridge. The team will he more beefy than it was last year, although not as heavy as they will find Tech when opposition between the two starts. Manual Handicapped Manual is handicaped because it has no field near the school, and has no place in the park to dress. There is no t -ckling dummy. Swanson and his aids are doing their best to overcome these handicaps. The barkfield candidates run at and tackle each other. One man is used to form interference. They pass, kick and catch the ball. At the other end of the field Maxwell works with the line material. Opponents of Manual better hold that hall, as the Red and White boys surely are mastering the recovering act. The team is far from in condition and needs lots of work. Forty men are out in suits and this number will be increased to sixty. Manual oj>ens its schedule with road Rippleß Eriday at Garfield Park. Kouthsidcrs play Wabash here Oct. 3 and go to Bloomington on Oct. 4. Brazil is met Oct. 10 and Newcastle Oct. 11. Evansville Central is played there Oct. 18 and Emerson at Gary Oct. 25. Linton is played there Nov. 1 and Wiley, Terre Haute, there Nov. 8. Tech comes next on Nov. 14. There is a ten-day rest and the season closes with a battle with Shortrldge Nov. 26. AMATEUR GRID The Western Ramblers want games with fast, city team. Address M Williams, 404 Minerva St. The Ramblers play in the 70-80-pound class. The Western Triangles. who claimed the city grid title last year in the 30pound class, are playing in the .35-40-pourid class this season and want panics. Call Belmont 4794 and ask for Bob.

MERXLE FAILED TO TOUCH SECOND The famous Merkle game, ending in a tie when New York could easily have won had Merkle touched second base, was played on Sept. 23, 1908.

NATIONAL TANGLE DUE FOR UNRA VELING IN N. Y. Pittsburgh Series in Gotham May Straighten Things Out —Pirates Kick on Monday’s Postponement, ' By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Stuff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.—With the American League pennant race practically decided and the Washington Senators almost a certain winner, the tangled National League battle may be cleared in the series between the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates starting here today.

Fair weather was prevailing today and it seemed the Giants couldn’t sneak over another postponement as they did Monday. Postponed at Noon The Pirates were aroused when the first game of the series was | called off at noon Monday, claiming die field was in good shape at game time and that the gan/ie might have been played. When the Giants announced that the postponed game would be played on Thursday, die Pirates howled as they had planned to play a postponed game with the Cubs on that day. They carried a. protest to the National League office. If the Robins and the Pirates win today, the Robins will gain first place by a six-point margin and the Giants will have a one-point margin in second place-. Two-Game Lead The Senators and the Yankees won their games in the American league Monday and remained in the same positions. The Senators still have a lead of two games. They have won seveu out of their last ten games against the hardest competition in the league. They have only six more games t<2 play and if they win four of them the Yankees would have to win all six of their games to tie the Senators. If the Senators only split even in their remaining games, ticYankees could win the pennant by winning their six games.
