Indians Wind Up Miller Series; League Leaders at Home Saturday

Tribe Improves Advantage by Winning Wednesday as Saints Lose. STAGE BIG SEVENTH Four-Run Rally Does It; Schupp Shines. Bn Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, July 19. —By coming from behind Wednesday to beat the Millers, 6 to 4, while St. Paul was losing to Louisville, the Indians of Bruno Betzel improved their league lead and are sure to return home at the head of the big A. A. parade. The Tribe was to close the series here this afternoon andthen hop a train for Indianapolis tonight. The team has an off-day In the schedule Friday. On Saturday, at home, the Louisville Colonels will be met. Steph Swetonic was slated to hurl for the Tribe pacemakers today. In the Wednesday contest the Indians were outhit, nine to eight, but they had a “fat” inning, the seventh, when they sent Van Alstyne to the showers by an attack that scored four runs. Leverett dropped out for a pinch hitter and Ferd Schupp took up the pitching and baffled the Millers the remainder of the distance. It was a great victory for the Indians for they were trailing, 4 to 2, before the huge rally in the seventh. Connolly and Comorosky each got two hits of the Tribe eight safeties. Emil Yde, prominent with his bat the day before, hit for Leverett in the seventh Wednesday and delivered a timely single. Leo Cotter, Miller first sacker, brought grief to the Indians in the fourth when he clouted a home run with two mates aboard. And in the fourth Orsatti hit for the circuit with the bases empty. Comorosky got a two-bagger and a single. He has been “poison” to the Millers during the series with his timely swatting and swift fielding. The league leaders played errorless ball while the Millers had only one miscue, a bad throw by Van Alstyne. Connolly tried a delayed steal in the third, but was nipped, Mancuso to Van Alstyne to Jacobs. Only ten batters faced Schupp in the three innings he operated. He allowed only one single. The Indians are leading the sec-ond-place Saints by two and onehalf games.

HP WO stars of the tennis world, Rene LaCoste and Henri Cochet, gave stumbling exhibitions during the recent Wimbledon tournament, as you can see from the photographs here. During the final match of the men’s singles, which he won, LaCoste slipped and fell just at the net, while Cochet, in the semi-final match with C. Boussus, another Frenchman, slipped forward after retrieving a shot. These falls are probably the only falls the French stars will suffer this summer as they are not expected lose any titles.

of his training today weighing five or six pounds more than he will when he faces. Gene Tunney at the Yankee Stadium a week from tonight. The challenger is not so far along in his training as Tunney, but Heeney will put on speed now while Tunney slows down in an attempt to dull his fighting edge. That matter of the ale is significant. Heeney has been drinking it all his life, and when he gives it up to start "drying out” for a fight it means he is nearing the peak of condition. Supreme confidence is the Keynote in Heeney’s camp. The challenger honestly believes Johnny Risko is a better fighter than Tunney, and since Heeney has whipped Risko he can see no reason for worrying about Tunney. Heeney does not under rate Tunney. He realizes the champion is a clever boxer and expects to receive several jarring blows to the body and head. ✓ The challenger’s tactics wili be simple. He will try to chase Tunney into a corner and pound away at him at close quarters until Tunney wilts. The great question, of course, is whether Tom can chase Tunney into a corner. Dempsey couldn’t. Jim Braddock, who was adaed to Hetney’s string of sparring partners recently, is proving valuable. Bi addock, a fleet 175-pounder, is big enough to stand up and trade punches with Heeney, and, at the same time, move fast enougn to make Tom take some exercise.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Hudson Wins Singles Title in Trapshoot Captures State Crown With 196 Out of 200 Targets. The State singles trapshooting championship went to D. M. Hudson Wednesday at the Indianapolis Gun Club traps, where he smashed 196 targets out of a possible 200 from 16 yards. Hudson, shooting in the thirty-fourth annual tournament of the Indiana State Trapshooters Association, put up a wonderful display of markmanship. High amateur honors in the event went to Mark Arie of Champaign, 111., who broke 197. Arie was barred from winning the title because he is not a of Indiana. C. D. McGary, a professional shooter, turned in a perfect score for the 200target event. Today’s feature event was to be the State doubles championship, divided into two events. Fifteen pairs of targets are on the first event and ten pairs on the other. The State handicap shoot also was to be run off today. It was a 100target event.

906 Is Official Count of Entries in Times All-A. A. Team Contest Business of Picking Winner Delayed as Selections Are Awaited From League Writers.

I After careful count of the selecI tions received from fans in The Times all-A. A. contest the official figures reached 906 when entries closed, and it is now up to certain sports writers in the other seven American Association cities to file their opinions in order to permit The Times sports staff to determine a winner. All but two A. A. baseball experts were heard from by this morning, the writers at Minneapolis and Kansas City having waited until the last minute to decide on their favorites. But at all events, The Times contest went over in fine style and next year the prize list will be increased three-fold. The event conducted by The Times this season was an experiment. The awards were nominal, but the manner in which the affair took hold proves that Indianapolis and nearby cities are interested in baseball to the extent they follow the dope.
