WHEN the Waco club sold Art Shires, a first basemen, to the Chicago White Sox, Shires revolted. „and said he wouldn’t report and went home. He complained that the Waco club could have made a better sale and inasmuch as he was to get a split on the sale price they should have done it. But Shires came around and joined the White Sox recently and in his major debut banged out four hits, including a triple. That was his way of making his presence known.

INDIANS’ LEAD REDUCED TO DANGER POINT; HEAT PLAYS PART IN DEFEAT Leverett Collapses After Holding Blues Hitless Six Innings. K. C. Winning Monday, 7 to 6: Pacemakers Show Signs of Cracking in Face of Handicaps.

H;/ Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Aug. 28— Added to all the grief the Indians have been suffering by injuries and the loss of the slugging Comorosky, the sizzling heat of these parts has made the burden greater for the league leaders. Coming down from the lake region in the northern part of the A. A. circuit, the Tribesmen bumped into one of Kansas City’s hottest days Monday, and the Hoosiers collapsed in the late innings, the Blues winning, 7 to 6. Dixie Leverett, striving for a nohit game, held the Cowboys hitless for six innings and then folded up under the rays of Old Sol in the seventh. He retired voluntarily, and was not taken out. In fact he nearly fainted. And in the eighth Dick Burrus. first sacker, felt himself weakening and he too was forced to quit the game and was not jerked for losing his temper as some reports stated. The Blues have been home for a long stretch and the burning weather was their “meat.” They crashed through with three runs in the seventh and four in the eighth to snatch the fracas out of the fire off Swetonic, who was not himself, having pitched in Milwaukee Sunday. Homer in Tall Grass A home run by Grigsby that got lost in the tall grass in deep right field ruined the Indians. The Betzelites tried hard for a comeback in the ninth, but fell one run short of tying the count. The Blues were forced to use four pitchers—Sheehan, Davis, Murray and Meine—and two pinch hitters to nose out the scrappy Indians. Two games were to be .staged to - day, and one of the largest crowds for week-day in the history of the local park was expected to attend. Kansas City has wot fourteen of its last sixteen starts and is within easy striking distance of first place. Only Slender Lead The Indians were slightly more than one and one-half games ahead of second-place Millers today, and only slightly more than two

With Tribe at K. C.

Bn Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 28. Manager Zwiiling of the Blues planned to send Meine and Zinn, two of his best hurlers, against the Indians in the double-header today. It was thought Boone and Yde would try their stuff against the Blues. K. C. fans are wild with pennant fever and many threw away their hats Monday when the home pastimers rallied and captured the laurels. Pitcher Yde played left field for the Tribe and got away with it. He also got three hits, one a double. Florence batted for Riddle in the ninth and looked at a third strike. The Tribe Infield cracked under the strain during the two K. C. rallies. Better support would have saved the game. The Indians would have been still running. had they made their runs in the same proportion the Blues did on the basis of hits obtained. The Blues only got six blows, but seven runs, while the Tribe got fourteen wallops, but only six tallies. Hits by innings: Indianapolis 210 115 013—14 Kansas City 000 000 33x— 6 The Blues got off to an inauspicious start when Matthews, the first man up. singled. A passed ball and a wild pitch in the first frame made matters verse. Buster Chatham dropped Matthews' short fly in the third, but recovered in time to get the Indian flv chaser at second on a sharp throw to Wamby. Riddle's smash In the seventh took a bad hop over Wilson's head, the Indian catcher getting an extra base on the accident. - Jimmy Worth, outfielder, who batted .344 for Columbia in the South Atlantic League, class B. was to join the Indians today. He is the property of the Pirates. He Is a left-handsd sticker. The Tribe bosses are trying hard to land Grover Hprtlev. veteran catcher with Cleveland He formerly operated with the Hoosiers. The Indians also are about to close a deal for another outfielder, a right-handed hitter. It Is said Clyde Barnhart. of the Pirates. Is the man. Baseball is strange. The Blues lost eighteen games and won five on their last road trip. Coming home thev braced and fourteen of sixteen and are back in the hot pennant fight.

It is no wonder enthusiasm is at fever heat when a glance is taken at the scores turned in for the .18 holes of golf played Monday. George Lance, the defending champion, equaled the local course record of 68, held by John Farrell, national open champion. John Lehman of Gary hit even par 72. Keith Young of Lafayette and Dick Taylor of Greencastle each had 74, and Dwight Mitchell of French Lick, who was State champion in 1925, hung up a neat 75. “Will Bill Diddel’s 161 qualify him in the championship flight?” was a popular question at the first tee this morning as the boys lined up waiting to start. Diddel played his second round late Monday because business made it impossible for him to be here today. It was the concensus of opinion that 159 will be the deciding barrier but the writer thinks 162 will get in. This meet promises to be a big fiesta of upsets, many of which will start with “blow-ups” today and finish in the match play that starts Wednesday and continues thr(sugh Saturday.

FRENCH LICK, Ind., Aug. 28 —Lafayette Country Club took a commanding lead In the four-man team play at the end of eighteen holes Monday.

Cooper of South Bend, stepped into one on the (20-yard hole and the ball missed going in by inches Chu( k Bader had the misfortune of getting a 9 on his card. On the fourteenth his tee shot was In the rough and stopped just at the edge ot a drainpipe. Bader was about to shoot when the ball rolled into the pipe He elected to plav out and the nine was the result. Dwight Mitchell, who won the State title here In 1925, got awav to a poor start and finished the first nine in 40. Mitchell came home one under par. 35. to ring up a total of 75. < Luke Lincoln, of I. C.

Lincoln and son Luke of the Indianapolis Country Club, with 88 and 79. and 167 total. Jack’s Opponent Gets Free Swim After losing the first fall to George Romanoff at Broad Ripple Monday night, Jack Reynolds, welterweight mat star, speeded up and annexed the next two falls and match. During the third fall Reynolds tossed his opponent out of the ring and into the swimming pool. Gus Kallio took on five opponents in his all-comer program and easily disposed of them. Two ambitious matmen managed to stay more than two minutes with Kalho. The outdoor program pleased the onlookers, for there was plenty of action.
