Rallies Win Twin Bill for Indians; New Player Stars Ryan Covers Shortfield in Style; Millers Here for DoubleHeader Tonight: Free for Women.

BY EDDIE ASH The lowly Indians were riding high Thursday night and much to the surprise of the Washington park customers the after-dark doubleheader was won by the home nine, 7 to 4 and 5 to 4. The twin victory failed to get the Tribesmen out of the cellar, but they crept up a few’ steps and are in position to glimpse daylight again if the boys can have some luck with Mike Kelley’s Millers. Minneapolis invades the illuminated diamond tonight with a crew of fence busters and there will be a double-header, with the first contest starting at 7 o’clock. It will be free night for women and children and furthermore it will be the first time the Millers will have played under the lamps Mike's pastimers will be here three days, the series calling for two tilts this evening, one Saturday night and two Sunday afternoon. New Shortstop Shines

The Indians exhibited anew shortstop Thursday night in John (Blondy* Ryan. Holy Cross and White Sox. and the big fellow looked the part of a high-class infielder. Ryan is tall and rangy and is the first man of that build to operate in that territory since the days of Claude Derrick, “way back when.’’ Facing the night lights for the first time, Ryan accepted eleven chances in the two contests and got one hit during the game-winning sixth-inning rally in the windup conflict. He is here on a twentyfour hour recall agreement, but there is every reason to believe that Manager Bush of the Sox will permit the youth to remain with Johnny Corriden the remainder of the season. Bush thinks well of Corriden's ability to teach the fine points. Ryan was a collegian until a few weeks ago and regular play with the leaguers is what he needs. Some of the experience he absorbed Thursday night consisted of being knocked down for the count when a low throw clipped him under the chin. Starting Pitchers Finish The Indians came from behind to win both games and for once in a long time there was no change in pitchers by either team. Jonnard and Burwell were the winning hurlers. In the opener the Corridenltcs scored four runs m the eighth to break up a close fracas, and in the second battle of seven innings the home athletes rallied in the sixth for two markers and victory. The contests were enlivened by several red-hot fielding features, .and from a batting standpoint the Indians outhit the 1939 A. A. champions in both struggles. Bud Connolly, worn to a frazEte and also handicapped by bruises.

CHOCOLATE-BERG BATTLE BOON! TO FIGHT GAME

British Slugger Given Nod Over Undefeated Cuban in Fast Scrap Two Game Little Battlers Slug Through Ten Rods as Howling Fans Forget Dreary, Disheartening Bouts of Recent Dates; Judges Disagree. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Aug. 8— Impelled by the flying fists of two game little battlers, the fight game is back in better standing today. Jack ‘Kidi Berg, the Whitechapel whirlwind, and Kid Chocolate, lithe Cuban sharpshooter, fought through ten furious rounds before 40,100 fans at the Polo Grounds, and although at the finish, it was Berg s hand which was raised, the fight was only won by th proverbial whisker. One judge and the referee, Patsy Haley, gave the verdict to the Englishman, the other judge voting for Chocolate.

While ringside experts agreed that a draw would have been eminently fair, the fight was so cleanly and so desperately waged that it restored the boxing game to something of its pristine prestige. Chocolate and Berg, the former conceding ten pounds in weight, battled furiously from the first bell to the last. There were no knockdowns. but both men landed fiercely and heavily in every round, until the contest developed into one of those thrillers which old fight fans tel us we never see nowadays. Rushing Tactics Win It was a case of a rushing, tearing. two-fisted little fighting man boring in incessantly and giving his sharpshooting opponent no chance to get set for a lethal punch. Berg, outweighing Chocolate, 133% to 1?4, made the most of this advantage to carry the fight to the Negro and pound the body with both hands in close. When Chocolate could wrestle free, he cut and slashed the Englishman savagely. Left hooks sent Berg's head snap-

was permitted to rest during the first tilt until the eighth, when he batted for Ryan and produced with a timely single, driving in Hoffman. He played part of the second fray until knocked out w’ith a bad finger, giving Manager Corriden more grief to face. The alert Tribe pilot is overloaded with bad luck. REMATCH AT RIPPLE Fred Parker, matchmaker at the Broad Ripple arena, has rematched Blacksmith Pedigo of Louisville and Cliff Byrd of Nashville for the main go on Monday night’s wrestling card. The bout will be to a finish, best two in three falls. A supporting card of equal merit w’ill furnish other entertainment.

ping, but down would go the head and in would come Jack with an irresistible rush. Round after round, they kept up the pace, Chocolate now in retreat, now stopping to trade punches in Berg’s favorite fashion, now shooting right crosses to the jaw and body. After gaining the upper hand in the first three heats, due to his accurate punching at long distance, the Cuban slowed down under a ceaseless pounding about the middle, and l erg piled up the lead which won fc is long end of the decision. Chocolate Heartbroken While the fans roared approval and forgot those dreary, disheartening affairs of recent date, the pair scrapped like Kilkenny cats through tfe two closing rounds, Chocolate going “all out’’ in an effort to overcome his opponent’s lead. By his victory, close as it was, Eerg paved the way for a lightweight title bout with A1 Singer, was in interested and presumably impressed spectator at Thursday night’s battle. Singer has announced that he will give the Englishman a chance at the 135-pound crown, but he may change his mind, for this season, at least. When it was over up at the Polo Grounds, Chocolate wept unrestrainedly. The little Negro had not been beaten before in 168 professional engagements and was heartbroken. But he was far from disgraced, for he had fought a heavier man, perhaps the best lightweight of the day, through ten rounds of the most spectacular boxing any one could wish to see.
