■rr-iUD TAYLOR of Terre Haute R finally la going to get his _j~T. chance at the bantam title. The Hoosler has been chasing Charley Phil Rosenberg for a long time and finally has caught him. The two are scheduled to meet at the Cubs’ baseball park, Chicago, on Sept. 16. According to the Illinois boxing laws the bout will go ten rounds to a referee’s decision. The weight Is 118 pounds and the title Is at stake. The battle Is on. There doesn't seem much chance for a slip. Promoter Jim Mullen has signed both boys and the forfeit money and contracts are In the hands of the Illinois athletic commission. A number of Indianapolis fans are planning to make the trip. They want to be on hand to see a native Hoosler crowned king ofthe bantams. • * * Don’t let that story about “Pop” Ederle’s summer home confuse you. The “summer home” Is a two-room bungalow. Several like It may be found around Broad Ripple on White River. * • * mNDIANAPOLIS is a rather peculiar city. It does not let the fact that It is very much Inland interfere With being interested In water sports. National swimming meets are held at Broad Ripple pool, and we notice that some of Dodge's high speed motor boats are equipped with Duesenberg engines from the local factory. Wade Morton, the Duesenberg auto race driver, piloted the Baby Watercar at Manhasset Bay, N. Y., during the gold cup regatta in the Dodg# memorial race last week and furnished plenty of thrills when his boat turned over while going at about sixty miles an hour. A press dispatch said that Morton knew the boat was likely to tip at high speed because of the position of the motor, but “took a chance.”

Expectation is half the pleasure in most anything. The fight fans had better make the most of this phase of the DempseyTunney battle. It won’t last long once the two get into the ring. Did someone ask which one would be on his feet at the end of the entertainment? That’s a funny question. * * • mHE following little poem concerning Suzanne Lenglen and her recent leap into the ranks of the professionls Is about fourth hand. We take no credit whatever except in being lucky enough to run across it. The lines of wisdom were printed first in the Detroit Saturday Night, a weekly paper. It was 1 reproduced in American Lawn Tennis and then the New Yorker, in which publication we spied it. The author’s name is John Benson. We pass along the following bantering lines: Suzanne, you shock us, you really truly knock us, By being a professional in sport. To think that they are paying a girl like you for playing, Who have been your family’s support! My goodness, dearie, aren’t you a little leary —Of being a professional like Grange? When you have changed your rating, can you keep people waiting? Won't customers feel it's a little strange? Suzanne, start thinking! There is no use in blinking A point on which a lady must make sure. The course that you are taking, will you at that be making As much as when you were an amateur? * * * Just how long will some of the sports writers continue to call Alfred Chapin the protege of Bill Tilden? The young man is grown up. even has a wife, and seems very capable of taking care of himself. Tilden and Chapin are in the finals of the national doubles tourney. It’s about time to begin calling Alfred a partner—not a protege.

Double Victory Over Chicago Boosts St. Louis Stock — Yanks 2 to 1 Choice. By Henry L. Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Sept. 3.—St. Louis became the favorite again in the betting here today to win the National League pennant. Betting commissioners in the financial district, said they had a lot of money to lay at eight to five apd the price might get better. Following a double victory over the Chicago Cubs Thursday, the Cards gained a two-game lead over the second place Cincinnati Reds and Increased their advantage over the Pittsburgh Pirates to three full games. The Reds got a bad break by being stopped by rain after getting away in the lead against the Pirates. The scene of battle shifts again today, the Cardinals moving into Cincinnati and the Pirates Invading Chicago. St. Louis at Oner The series In Cincinnati, between the two leading clubs, will be one of the most Important of the season. The Cards haven’t had any too much luck against the Reds this season, as they have lost eleven out of eighteen games, but it may be a different club that Rajah Hornsby leads into the Red domain on this last trip. Smart baseball men here figure that the Cards not only have a good ball club, but they have become Inspired like the Boston Braves of 1914, who rose from the cellar in mid-July and won the pennant nnd the world's series in straight games from the Philadelphia Athletics. Hornsby, who has been off his hitting game this season, and who possibly will not lead the league for the first time in seven years, is hitting again and that means much for the chances of the club Yanks Far Ahead The situation remains unchanged in the American League, as the leading Yankees and the contending Cleveland- Indians were idle Thursday. The'Yankees still have a lead of six games and are heavy favorites. Odds of 2 to 1 are quoted that they will be In the world series. Cleveland has the greatest pitching staff in the American League and the Yankees have been holding their lead through the efforts of Shocker and Pernock, the only pitchers who can be counted upon. Dutch Ruether, purchased from the Washington Senators, won the first game he pitched for the Yankees, but he is not well and will not be of much service to th 6 club during the race or in the world’s series. Although the playing season was shortened this year to permit an early series, it is understood that if the Yankees win they will hold out for an opening day on Oct. 2, so as to get in a Saturday and Sunday in the big stadium. The American League Club, according to the rules, openr the series this year.

ON TRAIL OF THE TRIBE; NEWS AND GOSSIP

Bu Times Special TOLEDO, Sept. 3.—When club officials of the Indians concluded they were out of the pennant fight and let Carmen Hill, their leading pitcher, go to the Pittsburgh Pirates, they evidently had the right hunch. The Tribesmen played a doubleheader with the Hens here Thursday and finished on the short end in both struggles, 3 to 2, the first tilt, and 2 to 1, fourteen innings, in the afternoon wind-up fray. The pitching was brilliant by all htrrlers who participated in the twin bill, but the Hen twlrlers were better supported. In fact it was errors that cost the Indians both contests. Sicking booted the day's opener away and Miller handed the second fray to the Hens. The series was to close today, after which the Bushmen will hustle to Indianapolis to open a round of battles with Louisville Saturday. Dutch Henry allowed Toledo only six hits In the Thursday opener, hut a bad first inning, in which the Hens scored three runs, put the game our of the Tribe’s reach. Sicking was charged with two errors in the first conflict, his first mlscue helping the Hens during their early rally. v Henry and PfefTer fought out a mound battle, and Pfeffer got the breaks. Wisner and Maun engaged In another pitching duel in the second encounter Thursday, but neither finished, Speece relieving Wlsner and Ryan relieving Maun. Both Wisner and Maun dropped out for pinch hitters who failed to hit. George Fisher got a home run in the sixth inning of the first game. The second skirmish was a spectacular affair. It was settled for the Hens in the fourth extra round when Maguire doubled and Urban singled. Field events were held between games Thursday. Matthews of the Indians and Lebourveau of the Hens

It was “Meade-Stengel day,” and fans paid tribute to the Hen president and manager. Stengel was notified his job was good for 1927. Absence of Carmen Hill, sold to the Pirates, did not handicap the Hoosiers Thursday. They a batting punch in the pinch and the infield defense cracked just enough to permit Toledo to win each fracas. Maguire, Hen second-sacker, accepted eighteen chances Thursday with no sign of an error. He got two doubles in the day's wind-up conflict. Toledo seeks to unseat the Tribe from third place. Kansas City also seeks to horn into the first division. Louisville was less than one game back of the leading Brewers this morning. Infielder Carter, obtained by the Tribe from the Cincy Reds and released recently by Manager Bush, has signed with Peoria of the ThreeI League. The leading Brewers were blanked by St. Paul Thursday, and the slugging Colonels failed to make a run off Sommers of the Senators in the first half of Thursday's doubleheader at Columbus. Sommers allowed only three hits. Louisville won the second fray without trouble. NEW YORK BOLT Bu United Press NEW YORK.
