Ktirrin’ i the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

mNDIANAPOLIS gets a lot of knocks as being a poor sport town, but the city seems to like the swimmers. According to Paul Jordan, president o fthe Indiana-Kentucky A. A. U. and director of the meet at Broad Ripple, this is the only city In the United States that supports an aquatic tourney by money taken In at the gate. In other cities rich clubs ‘‘dig down’ to cover expenses. Os course, there have been deficits here in the past, but lat year's tourney paid its way. One must go to far-away Honolulu, in the very land of the “human fish,” to find a city which dares to put on "a swim tournament with the expectation that the admissions will cover the expenses. * • • The weatherman evidently wants the swimmers who are here for the A. A. U. meet to feel at home. .* . v M~‘“~IOPEST MR. C. C. (Cash and Carry) Pyle is back from i___J France, where he signed up Suzanne Lenglen for an exhibition •tennis tour of this country/ Pyle he will have ten of the “world’s best” tennis players in his entourage. There is nothing email about Mr. Pyle’s statements. And a strange thing about him Is that some of his wild remarks later turn out to be founded in fact. We can hardly swallow that “ten of the world's best,” however. That's sorta Pyle-ing it on. * * * The Cooperative Amateur Baseball of this city has lived up to its name. The loop had a highly satisfactory season—AND THERE WERE NO PROTESTS. * • • ID you know that Indianapolis was the first city to s__J attempt a three-day swim program. Back in 1921 Jordan put on the first tourney of that sort. It was an experiment that worked out. On the first day of the meet a heavy rain poured down all afternoon, but some S4OO was taken in at the gate. The swimmers didn’t care; most of the officials wore bathing suits; the spectators looked on frdm the stands. * * * LAUFER of Clncinnatt, who will be seen at ___J the swim meet at the Ripple tonight, Wednesday and Thursday, probably is the greatest all-round swimmer in the world tpday. His versatility is amazing. He paddles the dashes and the distance events. Ha splashes through the water with equal facility, using the crawl or breast or back stroke. Many beBiieve he is the coming speed star Uncle Sam's best bet In the 1928 Olympics. • • Ho-hum—the New York boxing commission had a session again today. Why don’t the members just stay in session? Upon second thought, it might be better not to meet at all. They never do anything much—and when they uo somebody else un-does it. • * • SHE captain of last year's swimming team at Yale will be seen the Ripple meet. He is William Hall, fancy diver of national reputation, competing on the Huntington team. Hall lives in Ft. Wayne. Three swimmers are iVere from Huntington under the direction of Jolly J. Barr, former Purdue swim instructor. According to Barr, Hall finished second in a 1924 Olympic diving event which was won by White of the Pacific coast. Hall was second in the national Intercollegiate diving event this year. He also was second in the national A. A. U. indoor meet at Chicago. Other swimmers from Huntington are Miss Colleen Utter, a coming youngster, and Robert Bonebrakes, who holds the State Y. M. C. A. record in the 40-yard swim.

SECOND ROUND OF MEET \ / Favorites Come Through Easily at Start of Play in Women’s Tennis. Bu United Prcts FOREST HILLS, N. Y.. Aug. 17. —Lacking the enlivening presence of Miss Helen Wills, national champion, the women's national tennis championship went into its second day today with a record of unexciting first round play behind it and a prospect of wet courts and maybe rainy skies ahead.

ON TRAIL OF THE TRIBE; NEWS AND GOSSIP

Bu Times Bneclnl MILWAUKEE, Aug. 17.—Ownle Bush’s third-place Indians were to make their final 1926 appearance in Milwaukee this afternoon, and tonight they will be on the road to Minneapolis, where they open a fourday stand Wednesday. Today’s contest was the fourth and last of a disastrous series for the Hoosiers. They got knocked off again Monday, 11 to 10, in a wild battle that saw three pitchers operating on each side. The Tribesmen have dropped their last five starts, the final two in Kansas City and three here. Faeth or Henry was to get the Tribe mound assignment in the windup with the Brewers this afternoon. Henry started Monday's fray, but was withdrawn in the first inning. He was followed by Wisner and Hill, and Hill was charged with the defeat. With the score knotted at ten and ten, Carmen took up the box burden in the ninth and the winning run was scored off him. By winning Monday, while the league-leading Colonels were held idle by wet grounds at Kansas City, the Brewers made a gain and drew within one game of Louisville. The Monday battle at Milwaukee was another heartbreaker for the Indians to lose, and Captain picking was in the depths of despondency as he left the field. He had a brilliant day at bat, collecting a home run, double and three singles in five trips to the plate, and he stole a base, but he ruined the day for Indianapolis when he dropped a pop fly after two men were out In the seventh and Milwaukee scored four runs after his error. Bush has a most puzzling bail team. It is leading the league in the fielding averages, but despite that fact errors have cost the Indians time and again. The Tribe “boots” seem to come at critical periods and the pitchers appear to crack in the spots, where the miscues occur. It is a most unusual condition. Ralph Miller swatted a home run Monday in the first inning with the bases filled. He also got two singles. The Ft. Wayne youth drove in three runs Sunday and four Monday. The absence of Shortstop Shannon, who has been on the hospital list for a long stretch, is gradually killing Tribe pennant hopes. Sicking is erratic in the short field and Miller is a better second baseman than a shortstop. So there you are. Carter, the college rookie obtained from Cincinnati, lacks league experience to play regularly against tough opposition. was third succegmllL.i da3 a " h< “ In i>ian lost hr a r.nerun margin during the current eerie*.
