JUNE 29, 1928-

Only Five-Game Difference Between First and Sixth Places in A. A.

Blues Climb Over Saints and Are Second to Lead- • v ing Indians. MILLERS TIE TOLEDO Columbus Team Held Idle Since Monday. Rain knocked out two games in the A. A. Thursday, but two changes occurred in the standing when Kansas City downed St. Paul and went info second place, climbing over the Saints. Minneapolis nosed out Milwaukee, leaving the Brewers fourth, and giving the Millers a tie with the Hens.for fifth. The Toledo-Indianapolis and Co-lAin'ous-Louisville contests were postponed. Laying off twice while o'/r.onents scheduled exhibition games, plus bad weather, caused a combination of circumstances that put Hie Columbus team out of action since Monday. A few more jolts, and the tailenders will go into bankruptcy, for it cost something in salaries and hotel bills to keep a ball team on the road with no gate money to help. The Indians, though idle Thursday, held to their lead of two and one-half games. Minneapolis and Toledo tied for fifth and sixth positions are only five games from the top. With a margin of only five games separating the sixth team from the first makes the race the best in league history. Louisville,, in seventh place, and Columbus, last, are playing an improved brand of ball and no doubt will cause much grief to ivals above them during the second half of the campaign.

Carl Lind Shapes Up Like ‘Find*

, - \ ...W:., ,1 Jm. ■

When Lou Fonseca was injured in the opening game of the season, Manager Roger Peckinpaugh put Carl Lind, a rookie, at second base to fill his shoes. Lind did well in the field, but was a little weak at the bat until Cleveland entertained the eastern clubs at home in early June. Then he started hitting and raised his mark above .300. He looks like one of the finds of the season. Ripple Boxing Bouts Tonight The ring show carded at Broad Ripple Park Thursday night was postponed until tonight because of threatening weather. The same program will be staged, Matchmaker Atherton stated. Frankie Clark and Frank Gierke will battle in a six-session match to top the show. There will be three four-round scraps preceding the feature. The first bout will start at 3:45 (and. s. t.). More ringside seats will be available for tonight’s program at the bathing beach arena. SEES ONLY GEORGETOWN Jack Mara, one of the best schoolboy athletes in New York City, announced that would attend Georgetown this fall. He played three sports, excluding football, which was barred at his school.

Fifteen Vets / Expected for I. U. Eleven Page to Line Up Grid Squad Early Next Fall. By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., June 29. Fred Hill, Paul Balay, Carroll Ringwait, Paul Harrell, and Richard Garrison, of Indianapolis, are among the 18 men named by H. O. “Pat” Page, head football coac hos Indiana University, as probable candidate who will make strong bids for positions on the 1928 Crimson squad. In addition to the men named, Page is anticipating many other promising candidates. Because of the two-team schedule of fourteen games, and the stiffness of the games, the Hoosier pigskin pilot will need more and larger men in moleskins, he says. Charles (Chuck) Bennett of Linton will pilot the Hoosier offensive machine this year, with Bob Matthew of Gary in charge when the Hoosiers are on defense. Indiana is one of the few teams in the country to use two captains. Fifteen letter men are expected to respond when Coach Page issues his first call for practice, to start Sept. 15. The same assistants who aided Page in his 1927 campaign are to return this fall. Wally Middlesworth, a star at Butler under Page, will assist Pat in drilling the ends and backs. Otto Strohmeier of Chicago, and E. C. Hayes, track coach, will drill the linemen, and W. H. Thoirt, former lowa star, will break In the freshmen.

J., were tied for the lead, each having a perfect score from Thursday’s play. CASTOFF OF WHITE SOX Pid Purdy, who is playing a nice game for the Reds this year, belonged to the Chicago White Sox once, but wasn’t thought much of.

There’s no explaining the terrific hitting spree that Val Plcinich with the Cincinnati Reds is enjoying.
