JACK NO LONGER GREAT, BUT APPEARS GOOD ENOUGH TO BEAT GENE

INDIANS rAIL TO HIT BALL Fans Hope the Home Boys ‘Key Up’ and Do Some Damage. The Indians got five hits Monday —and one was a bunt and another an infield roller. Th 9 Saints won, 8 to 0. Fans and Manager Bush are wondering what the Indians think bats are for. Evidently the ball is too small for the home boys. Henry opposed Pipgras for a few innings Monday and Sindlinger of Fatricksburg, this State, finished. Pipgras won by a dec'sive margin. In fact there wasn’t any margin. It was St. Paul by a mile. The Indians are like Indianapolis boxers. No sock. The Tribe hits Monday were as follows: Hartley, two, including a triple: Matthews, one; Sicking, one; Fisher, one. That's all. The Saints announced before the game Monday they were here to knock the Tribe out of second place and evidently the threat “skeered” the Hoosiers. They died without kicking. Thero are six lays left for the Indians to warrant the fact they belong in second place. The fans enjoy seeing the Indians heat St. Paul and the rooters hope they’ll get some measure of entertainment during the remainder of the series. The Saints obtained seventeen hits Monday, and most of the blows were right on the bugle. Bruno Haas got a freak home run that started as a double. The ball struck the left-field bleacher fence and caromed over into the galvanized tube that lays against the left field fence. The said tube is the infield canvas roller. Bruno also got a single a,nd double. The second fracas of the series was carded for this afternoon. “Mjjor” Magerkurth, the "loud speaker” of Tom Hickey’s umpiring staff, and Derr are . umpiring the current series.

ASK FOR AUTO BRAND

I incline privately to the hunch Dempsey will win aqd it will be no great surprise to me if the fight goas the limit of ten rounds. I think the fighting fury of the champion, backed up by a zealous desire to embarrass his traducers, will carry him through. At the same time I am convinced Dempsey has run his race and is ready to bo bowled over by the first topnotch fighting man he meets. In some respects I esteem Tunney a topnotch fighting man, and in others I do not. Gene Unusually Cautious Tunney fights with a super-cau-tiousness that is not wholly characteristic of great fighters. I seen him in all his Important fights and only-once did I see him adopt a warlike, aggressive attitude. This was in his fight with Tommy Gibbons, a year ago, when he won by a knockout In twelve rounds. Tunney tells me he will fight the same kind of fight against Dempsey this week. "I will tear into him from the start and knock him out early,” Tunney says. Personally, I don’t believe he can knock Dempsey out, hot if he crowds him from the start he has a fine chance to win. I think the first two rounds will tell the story of this fight. Dempsey will bounce from his corner and begin whamming rights and lefts at Tunney’s body and head. Some of these are bound to connect. In the old days one of these would be enough to bring Tunney down. But (Turn to Page 11)

CARDS AND N. Y. YANKS APPEAR TO BE CHAMPS St. Louis Two Games Ahead, With Only Five to Go — Cleveland Hurt by Boston.

Bu United Press __ _ NEW YQRK, Sept. 21.—St. Louis was within reach of the National League pennant today, *two games ahead of the Cincinnati Reds and only <Jve games each to go. The Cards can lose out only by dropping three of their remaining games while the Reds make a clean Rweep. Cincinnati went to pieces Monday and dropped a double-header to the Boston Braves while the Cards were Idle. The Reds almost seemed to have cracked under the strain In their showing against the Braves played indifferent ball to lose 4 to 3 and 3 to 0. Eddie Roush, the Reds’ center fielder, pulled several boners that will go down in history and messed up whatever chance Luque had of saving the second game. The Reds will play one more game with the Braves here, then three with the Phillies, then the final game of the season with the Cards next Sunday. The Cards play two more with Brooklyn, two with the Giants and the final with Cincinnati. If the Reds can win the next four games while the Cards do no better than break even they will enter the final game tied and the penant will be decided Sunday. It is their only hope. In the American League the Yan-

kees’ hold on first place was loosened a little Monday when the Chicago White Sox took a doubleheader from the New'Yorkers, 7-3 and 4-3, but Cleveland lost to Boston, 3-2, so the danger to the Yankees was not as great as it might “have been.
