Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y.. Aug. 23.—Your program announces that the day’s racing here begins at 3 o’clock, but actually the day’s track activity begins at dawn or

dawn-up, as they say over in the ktables. This is a phase of the sport unknown to many of the thousands wh and sit in the stand; and watch the sleek - looking high - geared thorough bredi convert gaudy assets into draii liabilities. To your oatmunching correspondent it is ine most fascinating phase

of the sport, and perhaps the most picturesque. This is the back stage set up. Here all the intricate machinery of the business is thrown into motion. In the drifting haze of the early hours the champions and potential champions, the platers and prospects, the enduring old campaigners and the leggy baby racers with startled miens and jumpy nerves get out on the tracks to test their speed. tt a tt Strange scenes are enacted as the rising sun routs languid shadows from the empty ghostlike stands, which six hours later wilt pack with the most emotional type of sports followers any world knows—the man and woman who gambles on the speed of a thoroughbred. ts tt tt ONE set of horses after another is led out on to the main track. In numbers these sets run from four to twenty. There ' are times when there are more than a hundred horses on the track galloping, jogging or running up to their full power. For the most part these horses are handled by exercise boys and embryonic jockeys. But in many instances the star riders of the sport are to be seen working out their favorite mounts. You will see Laverne on Victorian, Earle Sande on Chance Shot and Chick Lang on Reigh Count, and this in spite of the fact that at about this time ot the morning the milkman is still making his deliveries and Mr. Gus H. Businessman is throwing a shoe at the alarm clock. tt tt tt Standing along the rail of the track are the trainers, and often the owners, armed with stop watches with which horses bearing their silks are clocked at various lengths. tt a tt THERE is a grim seriousness about this business, and little wonder, for this is the basis on which that trick quality, known as form, is figured. The trainer can tell whether his horse needs more or less work; whether he is ready to “go to the races” or whether he ought to be kept in the barn. The top-notch trainers know their horses from the top of their ears to the last hair strand in their tails.

Heavy Blow Dealt Flag Hopes When Roy Receives Split Finger. s SOS IS BROADCAST Speece Clears Bases With Homer, but Loses. / / BYi EDDIE ASH Tribe club officials kept wires hot today with messages striving to land a capable catcher to rush to the aid of Bruno Betzel's Indians in Milwaukee as they invaded the Brewer stronghold for a five-game series with Jack Lelivelt’s Brewers. Roy Spencer, mairiStay receiver for the league leaders, was injured during the finale battle with the Millers at Minneapolis Wednesday and will be out of action indefinitely. Catcher John Riddle of the Quincy Three-I League team, the Tribe “farm,” was notified to collect his “tools” and speed for the Cream City to join the Betzelites and remain with them until further notice He has been batting around the .300 mark in the Three-I, but is lacking in experince for regular duty in Class AA.

Places Tribe in Hole In the meantime the Indians, with their lead chopped to a game and a half, must depend on Florence for first string catcher, and Florence is not a Spencer by a long shot. The injury of Spencer was about the hardest blow that could be suffered by the Hoosiers during the drive for the pennant and Manager Betzel expressed deep concern over the outlook when he talked with Secretary Clauer over long distance phone from Minneapolis late Wednesday night. Fracture Feared A foul off the bat of Mancuso in the seventh inning Wednesday caught Spencer on the bare hand and split a finger. Roy left the field with blood streaming from the cut and Manager Betzel fears the finger is broken. Spencer left for Milwaukee with the team and he was to have the hand put' before the X-ray today. Chances of landing another good backstop are far from encouraging at this time of the season, Secretary Clauer said today. Spencer has caught nearly all games since the A. A. campaign started, the Tribe pitchers are accustomed to his work and his accuracy in throwing has discouraged enemy base runners. Furthermore, Roy gradually has been pulling up in batting and has brought his average to the .271 mark. He got a home run Wednesday. EDERLE ENTERS SWIM TORONTO, Ont., Aug. 23.—Gertrude Ederle of New York City, first woman to cross the English Channel, has entered the star field of distance swimmers who will break the water in the ten-mile women’s marathon of the Canadian National exhibition here Aug. 29.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Injury Takes Him Out of Game

, W /*>5V > , ' V. V

Catcher Roy Spencer

Something happened in Minneapolis Wednesday that may develop into a serious handicap to the Indians. In fact, fear is felt that the Tribe pennant chances are dimmed. Roy Spencer, mainstay catcher, was injured and is out of action indefinitely with a split finger. Tribe officials are making frantic efforts to land another good receiver, but the outlook is discouraging. John Riddle, with the Indians last spring and now w r ith Quincy, has been notified to report to Manager Betzel in Milwaukee. Riddle is aggressive, but lacks experience. In the meantime Pep Florence, second string catcher, must endeavor to fill in for Spencer.

With Indians in Minneapolis

Bp Timex Special MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. 23.—IndianMiller battles for the 1928 are over, as Minneapolis copped the last struggle here Wednesday. 8 to 7, in eleven innings, giving the Kels three of five tilts in the series. The pennant rivals met twentyfour times this season and the Millers captured thirteen of the contests, with eleven going to the Tribesmen. In Milwaukee Today Asa result of the defeat in the series wind-up, the Betzlitesf left for Milwaukee Wednesday night only a game and half on top and they are sure to be handicapped heavily in future games owing to the indefinite loss of Catcher Spencer, injured Wednesday. The Indians made a gallant fight against the mauling crew bossed by Mike Kelley and came from behind to tie up the conflict in the ninth at 7 and 7 when Byron Speece poled a home run with the bases populated. Lucky Bingle by Cotter But in the eleventh the Millers got lucky and Cotter's hit Just over second base with two out enabled Emraer to score from third with the deciding run. It was a “bleeder” safety that Warstler made a frantic effort to field in time only to miss' getting Cotter by a step at first. Had Speece succeeded in retiring Cotter, the battle would have ended 7 to 7, for a cloudburst hit the park and flooded the field a moment after Emmer crossed the plate. It was a tough “break’’ for Speece because he deserved to win after crashing his homer good for four tallies in the ninth. And he pitched brilliant relief ball from the seventh until th% eleventh. Ferd Schupp looked like himself in the first inning when both Yoter and Hayes popped to Haney, but subsequent happenings proved that the star left-hander lacked sufficient rest to be sent against the Kels again. *He was through before the second inning was closed. Layne’s home run in the second round cleared the left field fence on a line, just scraping the top of the wall. Matthews, hero of the Tuesday game, whiffed his first two times at bat Wednesday with Brillheart, a left-hander, dishing them up. Boone tried to pick Hayes off second in the second inning and when he threw the ball into center field the Miller second baseman reached third in safety. Yoter stole a hit from Layne in the fourth when he went deep behind third base to scoop up his grounder and then beat the runner with a lightning throw across the diamond to Cotter. Emmer made a sensational catch of Connolly’s line drive in left field, taking the ball at his shoetops with his gloved hand.

No-Hit Game Bp l tilted Tress Toronto. Aug. 23.— John Prurihomme. Toronto pitcher. pitched a no-hit, no-run victory over Jersey City Wednesday in a game ended in in the seventh inning by agreement. Two walks with two out in the seventh kept the pitcher from a perfect game. He retired the first twenty men to face him without allowing one to .reach first base.

Spencer made a nice play on Hayes in the sixth, taking his roller in front of the plate and winging him at first. Emmer proved a fine substitute for Zach Wheat, getting a single in each of his first four trips to the plate. Emmer pulled one for the books in the seventh. With Layne on third, Spencer hit a foul fly to the left fielder who returned the ball to second base for no apparent reason at all. Layne scored easily. Connolly leaped in the air and made a wonderful glove-handed catch of Bryiheart’s liner and then threw to Burrus to complete a double play on Mancuso. Miller fans gave Spencer a big hand as he left the field when injured in the seventh. Roy is recognized in Minneapolis as one of the outstanding catchers in the league.
