tirrin: the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

O" *l\ T CE more Indianapolis Is forced to admit thfat It Is not a good sport town. Jtie Amateur Baseball Association pulled the proper strings and obtained the national class AA baseball series here in September. But the local boosters were forced to admit defeat and gave up the tournament when It was found that financial backing was not available. The sandlnt meet will be held ill' Philadelphia. It was through no fault of the Indianapolis association that the teams could not be brought here. It just cost too much. People do not turn out to witness the amateur contests. On different occasions the local teams have played games in fan effort to raise money for the tourney. The dif not even pay expenses. This is not a sport town, compared to many other cities. There is no getting away from the fact. There is one team,in Indianapolis which probably is glad things turned out as they did. That is the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company ball club. That outfit looks like the winner in class AA. Under the old arrangement | the aggregation would not Itave got a trip. Now, the champion team of the*clty in class AA will go to Philadelphia as will also the class A winners. It’s an HI wind that does not blow somebody good. • * • Ho hum, the Tubs lost another game by one rim. .Just one run spoils many a stocking and ball game. i* * * The Cincy Reds are due to win a game at Boston today.

QUAUFYING PLAY STARTS IN STATE AMATEUR GOLF TOURNEY

BREWERS CAPTURE OPENER Only One Game Played Sunday—lndians in Bad , Shape. Jack Leliveli’s Milwaukee Brewers captured the first game of the series with the Indians Sunday, 7 to 1, and the second fray of the scheduled double bill was postponed on account of mud and occasional showers. The teams were to battle again today. The Bushmen are playing this Important series badly handicapped by injuries. Added to that, Outfieldeg Matthews drew • a thre-df#y suspension Sunday from President Hickey for fussing with Umpire Magerkurth, Saturday. Pitcher Burwell held down Matthews’ petition Sunday. Threatening weather held down attendance Sunday to aboAit 5,500 and it was necessary to tise sawdust on the field to enable* a contest to be staged. Henry for the Indians and Robertson for the Brewers were thff opposing pitchers in a* series opener. The Brewers scared three runs in the second imping, one In the eighth and three the ninth. The Indians got their bne marker In the sixth. An error by Ttoter in the second inning and soirie loose defensive work on the infield put the Brewers on their way, t Milwaukee -got twelve hits and Indiana poke- t am . The Tribesmen lost the series wind-up w(<h the K. C. Blues, Saturday, 7 tc>| 6. Umpire Magerkurth, who came into tb* A. A. when Ollie Chill wag released, appears to be "hard" again/st the Indians. He banished Manager Bush and Wld Matthews Saturday. President Hickey lost no time In 'ordering Matthews suspended. The Milwaukee Club is strong enough to get by on Its merits without being aided by the crippling of opponents, but Hickey seems to enjoy going out of his way to favor the Brewers.

The Indians are In sad shape for this important series. Shannon Is out with injuries. Matthews is suspended. Holke is playing with a bad foot. Slcklng’s throwing arm is sore, Fisher has a bad wrist, Hartley a bruised finger and Miller a spike wound. Henry held the slugger Shulte to one hit Sundajf. Reb Bussell gave the fans a thrill in the ninth Inning with a perfect throw to the plate to nail a runner. Shulte was on third and tried’ to score on Btrohm’s fly to Reb. The throw came without a hop and Hartley caught the ball on Shulte’s back as the runner started a slide. i Griffin, Brewer first sacker. made a one-handed catch off the Milwaukee dugout roof of Rehg’s foul In the third. The Indians lost a run In the second when Yoter was retired at third for the third out before Holke crossed the plats on Henry’s single. Louisville knocked off Kansas City in a double-header Sunday and Increased its league lead. Today was "laides’ day” and "kids’ day" at the Tribe park. Minneapolis has sold Ted Jourdan, first baseipan, to Birmingham of the Southern Association. Manager Alien of the Saints, Catcher Hoffman and Pitchers Kolp and Farquhar,' were suspended indefinitely Sunday for creating a disturbance in Toledo, Saturday. They had a run-in with Umpire Kuhn. When-in Indianapolis recently Allen and Kolp w r ere banished by the umpires and it took the police to eject Allen, hut President Hickey overlooked the rough stuff.

The Tribe had a twlrler at both ends of the list. Elmer Yoter appeared to be playing third base for Milwaukee. In the early innings Sunday. The sawdust made' him dizzy. Was that sawdust on the diamond. or was It dandruff off Umpire M&gerkurth's skull? Bome fana hadn’t Been sawdust since the saloons closed. The Brewers weren't bothered by the sawdust. Milwaukee still has saloons. The setting was perfaqt for Prexy Hickey to have hit the siwdust trail. Having been defeated in the light heavyweight class, Paul Berlenbach Is going to enter heavyweight ranks. That recalls an incident of a few years ago when the Louisville Colonels returned a couple of ball players to the St. Louis Browns “for more seasoning." English sheiks don't have to stand on the comers to make "catches” these days. They merely go down to the channel and toss in a fishing line. The boys don’t bait their lines with night crawlers. They use chocolate caramels and such. There are so many- girls trying to swim the channel that English candykitchens are doing a big business selling fishing supplies.

—1 PPROXIMATELY 100 persons A braved the rain and spent •* H an enjoyable evening at the South Grove clubhouse Saturday night, the occasion being a reception for Miss Elizabeth .Dunn, who recently won the Indiana State women s golf championship. Miss Dunn is the first player to represent a municipal course to win the title, and the members of the South Grove Club, which she represented, were so proud of her achievement that they jusf had to tell it some other way b’esides In words. A dance was enjoyed as Ahe cool breezes came through the ball room, and songs rendered by Miss Martha Robihson and her brother William met with favor. Harry Schopp then made a presentation speech In behalf of the women of the club, giving Miss Dunn a beautifull hand bag, “just large enough," he said, "to carry back the trophies from the Women's Western golf tournament at Chicago, the last week In August.” Miss Dunn let all know' she was happy when she was In the midst of the South Grovers. It was a well planned evening- enjoyed by persons who represented all the municipal golf Courses. Mrs. A1 Roy and other women of the cluo, deserve great credit. It rained Saturday and Sunday, and not a single golfer stood on the front porch and swore at the weather man. Every golf professional and chairmen of the greens committees stood with eyes lifted to the heavens and seemed happy that the heavens were opening up with a life saver to the courses. The fairways had reached a stage where It was like bouncing balls on concrete pavement to drive or pitch a shot on them. The green that makes golf courses pleasing to look at had disappeared, but today they were again beautiful and natural. Strange what a little rain will do, 'and It was so Inviting that many players braved the showers and visited the links over the week-end. We have no kiclfe to hurl at the weather

But, when the drive hits the soft, damp fairways of the course built northern Indiana lakes, when the pitch shots drop dead where they light and the roll-up shot is as uncertain as the winds, then the handicap to the southern Indiana players will be met. The more we think the more we are becoming resolved to expect a northerner to the 1926 champ.

Atherton-O’Dowd Go Attracts

Interest is steaming up in Tuesday night's boxing program at Ft. Benjamin Harrison. Happy Atherton, local bantam, is said to be in the best shape of his career, and his friends are confident he will defeat Midget Mike O'Dowd in the main go of ten rounds. Happy took a long workout at the Arcade gym Sunday and displayed good punching power during strenuous sessions with Tony Ross and Mickey Satnick. The Atherton - O’Dowd match stacks up as one of the most promising for action that has been staged in the “punch howl” this summer. Fans also are eager to see the Frankie Jones-Billy Shine scrap. It will be Jones, the boxer, against Shine, the slugger, and the affair Is not likely to go the limit. Everybody is predicting a knockout. Mickey Satnick, who battles Willie Sullivan in the semi-windup of ten rounds, has attracted a large following of supporters here and is being made a favorite to “take" the Cincy boy. Satnick has boxed here twice this summer and won both bouts. There will be five bouts Tuesday and Captain Clark, Army matchmaker, has his arena force ready to handle a large crowd. Tickets are on sale downtown at the Clark & Cade drug store, Claypool Hotel.

TENNIS CHAMPIONS WIN AND LOSE IN TOURNEYS Richards Beats Tilden—Miss Wills Victor Over Mary K. Browne —Contrasting Form Shown by Titleholders. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Sta/f Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—With the astounding return to form of Miss Helen Wills, national tennis champion, in the fashionable Maidstone tournament, and the surprising defeat of Big Bill Tilden, national men’s champion, in the Crescent Club tournament, tennis fans had something to ponder over today.

At no time since she attained national prominence did Miss Wills show more effective strokes and more impressive stamina than in winning the final round of the Maidstone tournament against Miss Mary K. Browne, a fellow Californian, who is. at \he most conservative estimate, orfe of the four best players In the world. The victory of young Vincent Richards, who met with little success In European tournaments, probably will be glossed over by the partisan rooters for Tilden, because the champion has been beaten seven times this year in important competition. But the defeat of the champion must mean that he is not in the shape he should be at this important stage of the season, if he has not really slipped to the point where he is in dire danger of losing his championship. With the magnificent tennis, and the stamina that Miss Wills showed in defeating Miss Browne, the critics who saw her believe that she has little to fear in tfie- Seabrlght tournament starting today, and not so much more in the national championships at Forest Hills.

She was accompanied by Miss Leister, a Baltimore nurse. A member of Miss Barrett’s tug party returned to Dover this afternoon and before rejoining the tug said the swimmer was going strong at 2 p. m. and in very good spirits. The informant estimated that at 2 p. m. Miss Barrett was only ten miles off shore, although it was believed here that had reached midchannel at ,1 p. m. Miss Barertt was swimming well and headed for Calais, but the ebbing tide was carrying her toward Cape Gris Nez.
