Tribe Hits Fall Short 14 Blows Fail to Bring Victory Wednesday; Two Tilts Today, Bu Times Special TOLEDO, July 2.—The current road trip Is wearing and tearing on the Indians. Since leaving home the Tribesmen have dropped five games in six starts, three out of four in Columbus and two straight here Today the Hoosiers and Hens were to mix in a double-header to wind up the series and the outlook for success on the part of the visitors was anything but bright. There will be no game Friday and on Saturday, the Fourth, the Indians will perform in Louisville.

George Smith, Lefty Hall and Mike Cvengros toiled on the Tribe mound. At one stage of the fracas, in the first half of the seventh, the Indians were out in front, 5 to 4, but the Hens scored twice in their half of the inning and it was enough for victory, though two errors by Narlesky helped the locals to an extra marker in the eighth. Curt Walker and Len Koenecke each poled three safeties for the Tribesmen and Bevo Lebourveau collected three for the home nine. Ernie Wingard, Hen hurler, swatted an opport me double in the third inning ol of George Smith and the hit wan registered when the sacks were ioac ed, all three runners scoring. Two 7,'ribe Triples Curt Walker and Ray Ritzgerald got the longest hits of the day, each banging out a triple. The Hens put over whst proved the victory runs in the seventh and Lefty Hall was the victim of the onslaught.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Galleries estimated at between 7,000 and 10,000 moved on to the Inverness layout in mid-forenoon. Some of the forecasts for the open: By Herbert H. Ramsay, President of the U. S. G. A.—The three-day four-round test will end in a triple tie at 290. By Gene Sarazen, One of the Top Favorite Entrants —A total score of 294 will win. By Toledo’s Chief Bookmaker—An American will win. The 1920 championship was played at Inverness. Ted Ray of England won it. Bobby Jones, then a boy wonder, was a contestant. It was his first open. He went on to stardom and for years, until the present one, the open developed into a Jones against the field competition. He is out of competition now. This year the law of averages may trip up a lot of predictions and place some unknown player in the champion’s place. If an unknown does win, he will have defeated one of the grandest collections of players to have entered the lists in many years. Besides Armour and Cotton, there are several of high rank. On the home side are Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Wiffy Cox, Bill Burke, Johnny Farrell and Mac Smith. The foreign favorites are: Archie Compston, Abe Mitchell,

Howdy Wilcox has signed to compete in the fiity-mile race at Walnut Gardens, July 4. He will run a special match event with the fastest car in the time trials as an added attraction. This entry brings the total number to sixteen with such drivers signed up as Mark Billman, Howard

George Duncan, Percy Alliss and Aubrey Boomer. The one chief factor in the title chase is the weather, which is anything but favorable. Golfers and golf writers who have been in Ohio for two weeks in connection with the Ryder cup matches at Columbus and the current open, have lost weight, sleep and tempers because of the high temperatures. NOT BAD MONEY Jack Dempsey grosses around $175,000 a year by refereeing fights instead of participating in them.
