By Eddie Ash Leading Birds Battle Tribe Tonight m • • Lively Fireworks on Tap in Series
TNDIANAPOLIS fans are looking forward to some red hot fireworks at Perry stadium now that the league-leading Columbus Red Birds are in town. The Indians will begin a four-game series with Ray Rlade's swift aggregation under tl?e lights Tonight at 8:15 and will be out to do some catching up. The Tribesmen are runners-up to the Birds and have trounced them four times in six battles this season, Bill Thomas, slender righthander having pinned back the ears of the Buckeyes in three starts. Columbus is booked here for four tilts, one tonight, one Saturday night and a double header Sunday afternoon. It will be Grotto and ladies’ night at the stadium this evening and the Grotto drill team will perform at 8 o’clock. The Grotto band and drum corps also will be on hand.
Last Stand for Four THE four Columbus players barred when the league convicted the Birds of violating the salary agreement will be eligible for the Friday and Saturday games in Indianapolis, after which they will be ruled out for the balance of the season. They are pitcher Jim Lindsey, first baseman Art Shires, shortstop Gordon Slade and second baseman Charles Wilson. Columbus officials are making hurried arrangements to land replacements. Burgess Whitehead star second sacker, will be returned to the Birds by the St,. Louis Cardinals, parent club. The Cards already have put in a recall to take care of Gordon Slade. Disposition of Shires, Lindsey and Wilson has not been announced. Pitcher Lindsey has won seven games for Columbus and it, will be a difficult matter to fill his shoes The Birds concluded a long home stand Thursday and finished with the great record of fifteen victories against only six defeats. nun Senator Regulars Play F'ANS who went out to the Tribe park Thursday saw some class on the field when the Washington Senators stopped over and took on the Indians in an exhibition. About 800 customers turned out. Manager Joe Cronin of the big leaguers started his regulars and the most colorful of the Senator roster. Goose Goslin, smacked out four hits. Washington won. 7 to 5, by pounding seventeen blows. The Indians also exhibited plate power and collected sixteen safeties off Bob Burke. Senator lefthander. Tising. Bunvell and Turner each pitched three innings fer the Hoosiers and Burke went the full route for the visitors. Washington is in second place in the American League race and is stepping on the heels of the champion Yankees, being behind only one game and a half. The Senators landed on Tising for five runs in the second stanza Thursday and never were headed, although the Tribe made a fine threat in the ninth and had the bases filled when the game ended. tt a a ‘Over the Scoreboard' THE Star points out that the disputed score game here of Saturday night, June 3. was involved in determining the "pay-offs” in the baseball pool ticket racket, and that "this is of no importance so far as the writer is concerned." Well, the same thing goes for The Times writer, if the Star is endeavoring to cast reflections by inference. On the morning of June 4 tne Star said the Sigafoos twelfthinning drive went over the scoreboard. The umpires told The Times the ball did not go over the scoreboard, but smacked it and bounced back on the field. Manager Red Killefer of the Indians said Outfielder Metzler of the Brewers brought the ball in. The umpires told The Times the same thing. If the ball went over the scoreboard it went out of the park. Maybe Metzler had another ball in his pocket. a tt u Schacht ‘Goes on Air’ THE Senators whooped things up here when they learned while playing the Indians that the Yankees had lost another battle to the Boston Red Sox. The news led the Senators to inquire “if anybody knew what has happened to the chesty champs, losing four straight to the lowly Bcaneaters." The clowns, Nick Altrock and A1 Schacht, entertained the crowd with a lot of amusing stunts and Schacht “went on the air” for an inning and described the "big game” something on the order of the manner in which Graham McNamee announces world s series battles. "There it goes, he has socked it far and it looks like a home run. and the rightfielder is running. Oh. it was just a fly and the batter is out." Schacht also announced that at least 360,000 people, a tremendous overflow 7 crowd for Indianapolis, were absent from the day s game. e a tt Klein Loses His Pal INDIANAPOLIS fans are wondering what the reaction will be on the part of Chuck Klein now that the Phillies have sold Pinkie Whitney. star third sacker. to the Boston Braves. Chuck and Pinkie have been buddies since the Hoosier slugger graduated to the majors. They spend much of the off-sea-son together, hunting, camping and Ashing. Whitney has been a frequent visitor in Indianapolis and Klein often has accompanied Whitney to Texas. The Phillies apparently have completed the wrecking of their team in the deal that brought a bundle of cash to them. Hal Lee also went to the Braves with Whitney. In exchange, in addition to big money, the Braves sent two players of just ordinary ability to the Phils, Knothe and Schulmerich. BAER IN EXHIBITION By l ime* Special DAYTON. 0.. June 16.—Max Baer was scheduled for his second exhibition appearance here tonight. He started his tour at Pittsburgh Thursday night, facing Seal Harris. Chicago NegTo giant, for three rounds. Jack Dempsey is on the trip aa referee. Additional Sport Page 20
Fight Pictures Here THE Max Baer-Max Schmeling fight pictures went on the screen at the Circle theater here today, and. according to Ace Berry, theater manager, the views are clear and give an excellent view’ of the stalwart heavyweights in action. Baer knocked out the (German in the tenth round and the boxing w’orld still is discussing his marvelous display of punching power. Some New York experts see in Baer the very thing the glove sport needs to restore its popularity. He is said to possess a fighter's heart and about everything it takes to climb up the ladder to the world's title.

Dick McCreary Cops Times’ Golf Laurels Shortridge Ace Downs Tony Petrie Tech Star, With String of Pars on Second Eighteen Holes Thursday: Final Score Is 6 and 4. BY DICK MILLER The crown of champion over the eighth annual Indianapolis Times' high school golf tournament field rested solidly on the head of a great little golfer, Dick McCreary of Shortridge, today. Burning up the course with a scintillating performance of thirteen pars and one birdie in the last half of the thirty-six-hole final match with Tony Petrie, Technical high ace, McCreary won the title with a score of 6 up and 4 to play, over the Pleasant Run municipal links Thursday. Petrie, medalist of the tournament qualifying round last. Monday when he fired a brilliant subpar 71, went down fighting to the north side lad who trailed him by one stroke in the qualifying round. Starting the nineteenth hole after ...
being all even at the eighteen-hole mark, the youthful stars continued even by matching pars for three holes. McCreary went three up at the fifth, sixth and seventh holes, when Petrie got into trouble, but Tony came back with a great recovery shot on the eighth after being wide to get a birdie and win. Petrie three-putted the ninth green to be three dowm at twenty-seven holes. Pars After Pars McCreary continued to click off pars with straight and long wood shots, crisp iron shots and deadly approaching and putting. Petrie's drive on the twenty-eighth found the creek and McCreary w r as four up. The Tech youngster missed a chance when he failed on a threefoot putt for a birdie on the next hole and they halved the thirtieth in perfect figures. The match went dormie w’hen Petrie was wild with his tee shot on the thirty-first and again went over par. Two beautiful wood shots straight down the fairway, an approach within fifteen feet of the cup and an accurate putt gave McCreary his first birdie of the round on the thirty-second to end the struggle.
