- \TIRRIN’ the DOPE ) By VEDDER GARD
rt~-|N TUESDAY night at the llj I Ft. Harrison arena the la3t I fight show of the season at the post will be held. It is the seventeenth program of the summer. Approximately 550 rounds of milling by 160 mitt slingers have entertained some 42,500 fans, estimating an attendance of 2,500 at each show. The accumulated force of the hundreds of blows Frank Skinner, lime-keeper, has tapped the gong would raise a Ford coupe twenty feet from the ground. Lieutenant Porter has stood up in the ring eighty-five times and announced the fighters. Probably nineteen times he, pointed at the wrong man. The tape wound around the gladiators’ lists would reach from Mooresville to Martinsville, counting the detours. Eighteen thousand times the fans have booed the referee for not making the battlers “break.” Eighteen thousand and one times the same fans have yelled, “Let ’em fight.” On 857 occasions fans have been heard to say, “I’ll never come back.” Five hundred and fiftyseven times the same fans were on hand at the next show. The referees have traveled around the ring exactly as far as the merry-go-round at the State Ifaii ent last week. V L i the end Is finally at hand. On Tuesday night Skinner taps the gong the final “ding,” Lieutenant Porter announces and point' for the last time, the last yards of tape will be wrapped around big paws, the fans will have their farewell say-so, the referee will dance his final steps. Tt is the end. Goodby fort boxing, good-by, good-by —until next year. * * * This is the time of the year for t.ho <rubbei>stamp cartoons with a big football player crowding other sports off the athletic stage. Each fall we look eagerly for some new idea on the subject. Eaoh fall we are disappointed. * * * o ' ° : ACROSS THE HOARD TODAY : 0 On Saturday tha 535 place parlay on Pomney. Altawood and Gibbons went, over like a, top. In fact, the two first named horses won. Gibbons was scratched. As we said before, we should never play them to win. Barleycorn in the steeplechase lost by a nose In the last stride. San tTtar was out of the money In ' rovinglon Handicap at Estonia. Pr 1 ,.,.. *g Doreen won the race. We have tried to beat Princess lloren twice anil failed. On one occasion she carried 129 pounds, and on Saturday 130. She is a great, filly, and we salute the Queen of the Thoroughbreds. We picked up $24.75. and the bankroll now stands at $372.25. Today we Avili piay $5 to win and $5 to place on IrOBWEF. In the first Estonia. Two across the boird goes on DIANELLA, a first starter in the second race. A $5 wln-and-pE.ee parlay goes on GIBBONS in the fourth and BOON COMPANION in the fifth. And just on a hunch wo will try a $2 across-thfv hoard parlay on MONDAY MORNING In the fifth at Aurora and CHRISTMAS MORNING in the second at Latonia. There’s a parlay that should rein. This Is Monday, and we hope it’s Christmas, with the mutuel machines playing Santa Clans. * * * mUST fmpposin’ you wero a big league pitcher and opposin' the Detroit Tigers. What would you do when the third, fourth and fifth batters came up? They are Wingo, Cobb, and Heilmann in the hatting order used Sunday. All of them are hitting around .370. We know what we’d and over in a dead faint.
Beautiful Latonia opened its fall race meeting on Saturday with some beautiful prices for those lucky enough to pick the long shot victors. Here are- the prices on the winners for a $2 ticket starting with the first race: $30.70, $lO, $20.40, $27.70, $6, $11.20, $12.20. ,* * % The intercollegiate football guide has finally subeumbed to the trend of the times. As long as we can remember it has been 25 cents. This year up in the a comer is the sad news—“ Price P 35 Cents.” • • • npTl ROB ABLY a good way to I r** I make Dazzy Vance “mad" 1 would be to mention Hawks to the Brooklyn mound ace. No, Dazzy hasn’t had any chickens swooped down on lately—just at couple of games spoiled by the pesky Philadelphia bird. Last Tuesday Vance pitched a one-hit game against the Philly outfit. Hawks got the lone hit in the second inning. On Sunday Dazzy came back with a no-hlt game. But the Quakertown team counted a run in the second inning. Who do you suppose scored? Hawks was the gentleman’s name (Dazzy calls him something else). He hit a fly to left field and Johnston muffed it and then made a wild throw-ln. Later Hawks went over the plate on a sacrifice fly. These Hawks_are "ornery” birds. * * • The saddest words of tongue or pen are these: TOO LATE. Colunibu defeated Louisville in a double-header on Sunday. St. Loufs in the National defeated Pittsburgh twice. * * * <nr ELL Mike Kelly up and did yy it. The popular iAdianaphis Spartanburg club to the penhnant in the South Atlantic Association. A victory on Saturday in the last scheduled game gave the flag to Mike’s outfit. Top o’ the mornin' to ye, Mike. * * * Just pay your installment on the income tax on Tuesday with the interest on the third Liberty bond issue. Good and bad news on the same day,

Double Play Title to Brewer*
By Times Special MILWAUKEE, Sept. 14.—When the Milwaukee A. A. team, seventh in the race, completed three double plays in the Saturday game with St. Paul the world's record for two-ply killings was broken. The total of 183 bettered the record of 182 held by the Washington Senators. Washington established the previous record over a season of 154 games, but Milwaukee boosted the mark in 152 games. The Brewers made another double play in the first game at St. Paul, which raised the record to 184 in 153 games. The sensational fielding of Mellilo, second baseman, is responsible for the honor brought to the Brewers. The dandy little player has covered much ground and has contributed many brilliant stops. One week ago Saturday Mellilo broke the field record for second basemen when his total chances accepted surpassed the mark established by Nap Lajoie seventeen years ago. Mellilo has been out of the game several days, owing to an injury, but his mates have carried on with the double play feat. FIRST GAME Elwood Eleven Beats Kokomo—One Gridder Hurt.

LEADERS ARE NOT WORRIED Orders for Series Tickets Being Taken by JPfratea and Senators. By Henry L. Farrell, 1 United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Pittsburgh and Washington have advanced so near the pennants in the major league that orders for tickets are being taken. The Pirates need eleven more victories to cinch the National League pennant and the are within, thirteen games of the American League flag. Giants’ Chances Fade The Pirates and the Giants have sixteen more games to play, and if the Pirates win eleven of them the Giants could not beat them If they didn’t lose another game for the remainder of the season. The Senators have nineteen more games and the Athletics have twenty more on the schedule. If ih# Athletics won every game of the twenty games—whioh would be a miracle as well as a record — the Senators could lose six more games and still beat out Mack’s youngsters. Battle for Third. With the Senators a cinch for the pennant the fight between St. Louis, Detroit and Chicago for third place is holding the attention of American League fans. A fe*- points separate the three contenders. The Browms, playing the best ball In the American League, won six of their eight games last week and took third place.
