\tirrin’, I the DOPE By IT2DDER GARD

be nice to sit around the lobby in August and talk about who you will meet in the coming world's series. That's what the New York Yankees are doing these days. It is said by Eastern sports’ writers that the Hugmen fear the Cardinals more than Pittsburgh or Cincinnati. Take it or leave it. Maybe it's just a, dream. The Gotham club probably doesn’t fear any of them very much. It shouldn’t. Os course, the Yanks have not won, but they are so close that it would take a cataclysm to dislodge them. Exactly nine games separated Cleveland from New York before today’s schedule. Such a lead so late in the season is almost insurmountable. The Yankee infield seems a hit wobbly and Manager Huggins admits such a condition when he displaced Koenig, the former St. Paul player, at shortstop for the important Cleveland series. However, the American League pace-setters need only to win half their remaining games to cinch the flag. Cleveland won't win all its games. Batting and pitching have carried the team to the top and will keep it there. * * * rrrilSß EDERLE need not sigh, M as Alexander the Great L I once did. There seems to be more channels to conquer. William Wrigley, Jr., has offered $25,000 to the first one swimming the Catalina channel. What's a little dough to a gentleman like that, who Wednesday paid $50,000 for English, Toledo’'’ star shortstop? Gertrude, hurry back home! There’s some twenty-three miles of choppy water between Los Angeles harbor and Catalina Island waiting to be conquered. And there’s a pot of gold awaiting. * * * A publicity note from Wittenberg College says that the freshmen caps weigh only one-half ounce. These probahly won’t rest very heavily on even a freshman’s brain. • • • This may be unkind, but when the golf writers speak of the good iron game of some of the women, we wonder how skillful they are at wielding the flat irons in the kitchen. * • • The Waterproof Garment Workers are on strike. Probably getting ready for another rainy fool ball season surh as was dished out by the weather man last fall. The moisture grid fans prefer does not come from clouds. • • M*~~ ~~“| AYBE you noticed that every game Wednesday in —J that tight National League race was won by one run. Cincy and Pittsburgh each lost by 2 to 1 scores, while St. Louis went into the lead by a 4 to 3 eleventhinning victory over Boston. The Cubs nosed out Philadelphia, 3 to 2. In only one inning was more than one run made. The Cards, got a pair in the second against the Braves. All the other tallies were made with much travail one at a time. None of the pitchers needs hide his head today after those exhibitions of hurling. The scores looked like old times.

every third hole. A detachment of eighty-five soldiers handled the galleries. Par for the course is 35-S5, and most of the players who went around Wednesday, played above the score. Here and there a player was a stroke under. Ralph Stonehouse, assistant pro at the Highland course, shot a 68 to tie the course record held by Leonard Schmutte. Charles Hall, Birmingham, Ala., set the gallery groggy by missing a four foot putt that rimmed the curb and which would have been a 67, anew course record.

With the course drying it was felt that the course record would be shattered by one cf two strokes during the play. MacDonald Smith with a 69 in practice and several 70s could do that very thing. A large gallery followed Hagen, Jock Hutchinson, Eddie Held and

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ON TRAIL OF THE TRIBE; NEWS AND GOSSIP

Bu Times Hocoial . _ . , ST. PAUL, Aug. 26.—OwnieBushs Indians were to make their last 1926 appearance at Lexington Park this afternoon in the sixth and final game of the series with the Saints. The Bushmen won three and lost two previous to today. Friday Is an off-day for the Tribesmen and they will spend It traveling to Louisville, where they open a round of three games with the Colonels Saturday. The Hoosiers kicked Wednesday’s fracas away in the ninth and St. Paul won, 6 to 5. Schreiber put the winning run for St. Paul on base with a miscue. McMillan, first up in the final stanza for the locals, was safe on Schreiber’s low throw. Cullop sacrificed and Stuvengen was passed purposely. Henry thereupon lost control and walked Foss, filling the bases and leaving the way open for McMillan to score on a long tly, there being only one out. And Bruno Haas quickly produced the long fly and McMillan scampered home after the catch with the run that brought victory to St. Paul. The Indians were out-batted, thirteen hits to eight, but they reached first eight times on walks issued by Sehupp. The Tribe was minus a punch, however, and missed many opportunities to drive in runs. Hoffman crashed a home run double and single for the Saints Wednesday. Bruno Haas was prominent with three hits, one a double and he also pot a sacrifice fly. The Indian* were charted with two rri*r. by Malthewa and Senrelber. and both

mlsruen helped the Saints score. The one St, Paul error did not figure in the Tribe scoring. The Indians continue to lead the league in fielding, but the occasional “boots'' made by the team are of the most damaging type. Schreiber accepted eight chances Wednesday, but on his ninth chance he uncorked a bad throw, and that cost the game. The Indians missed a splendid chance to rally in the eighth. Schreiber opened with a double, hut was nailed at third on Holke's attempted sacrifice. Sehupp dropped out for a pinch* hitter in the eighth, and Meade pitched the ninth for St. Paul. This was originally a five-game series, but there was a postponed contest left over from the Indians previous visit to St. Paul, hence the six games. Manager Rush used Miller in right field Wednesday in an effort to brace the line-up against southpaw pitching. The league-leading Brewers made a big fain WedncsdJiy by taking a double-header rum Toledo while Louisville and Indianapolis met with reverses. The Brewers are fattening their percentage to protect them during their final road trip. MilwiVikoe has been bothered by only one alump this season. Louisville has skidded badly twice and Indianapolis three times Louisville is in the midst of its second "slide” now. HAPPY IS OUTPOINTED Atherton Loses to Flyweight Champ in Ten-Round Bout.
