New Yorkers Tie in Eight Inning Battle Hughie Critz Will Rejoin Giants in Louisville Today. By T'mrs Sprriril ASHEVILLE. N C, April 13.—A rally by the New York Giants in the closing innings gave the world's champs a 6 to 6 tie with the Cleveland Indians in an eight-inning exhibition game here yesterday. The tilt was called because of a light snow. The Tribesmen pounded Carl Hubbell hard in the opening frames, getting one run in the second, four in the fifth and one in the eighth. The Giants counted one in the sixth, one in the seventh and four in the eighth. Hughie Critz. veteran second baseman of the Giants, who has had an infected ankle treated at Memphis, was expected to rejoin the club in Louisville today, where the two teams will continue their pre-sea-son series.

Attracting greatest attention probably will be the revenge meeting of Duke Ruppenthal. clever Milwaukee welterweight, with Ray (Tuffy) Meyers, Lexington (Ky.) middleweight in the main event for two out of three falls. Several weeks ago the pair were matched here, and Meyers used his fist and his whole repertory of alley tactics to toss the Duke. Ruppenthal demanded a return, to which Meyers agreed this week. In the semi-final, Cecil (Blacksmith) Pedigo, a mat veteran from Louisville, will engage Jack Domir, of Austin. Tex., another of the villains of the canvas square. Bo*t men are familiar figures now on tne Tomlinson hall Friday night events. ( Usually Pedigo sticks to legal ring tricks to win. while Domar is accustomed to use anything but the ringposts to down a foe. The curtain raiser will bring together Bob Webb and Dan Bray, a pair of local middle weights. GRIMM SETS LINEUP Will Use W’arneke. Bush and Root Against Reds. By United Press CHICAGO.

Someone Had Blundered Johnston Moans As He Realizes Fumble Will Cost Garden 10 Per Cent. BY HENRY M’LEMORE Inited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK.

Eastern Roller Team Victorious World's Title at Stake in Game Here Sunday. The “world's series’’ roller polo contests, under way at Tomlinson hall, today were split between the New Britain 'Conn.) and the Indianapolis teams as a result of New Britain's 5-to-2 triumph over the Indians last night. The game for the “world’s championship" will be played in the hall Sunday afternoon. Each team thus far has won two games. Last night’s contest was close in the early periods, neither club scoring in the first frame. Davies slipped the ball into the net in the second period, but a few minutes later Ted Lewis skated in and scored. In the third stanza New Britain took the lead with two goals by Davies, while Lewis added one, and in the last period Peregrin and Davies counted, while the Indians were held scoreless. Both goalies performed excellently, Pence of the Indians, and Jette of the New Britain club each being accredited with forty-six saves. In an amateur curtain-raiser, the Stuck Coal Company defeated the Cockier Red Debils, 5 to 4. Summary: Npff Britain (54. Indianapolis 12'.

He was out to all callers at Madison Square Garden today. His twelve extension telephone line had been clipped. Burglar proof locks guarded his office doors. But he had forgotten to plug the keyholes, and it, was through one of them that I! saw the little giants in his travail. { There he sat at his desk like Rodin's Thinker, only he used both fists. His face was a study in misery, despair, disgust, shame, woe and plain old-fashioned billiousness. Before him. untouched, was his favorite lunch of frankfurters on whole wheat and acidophilus milk. To one who had always known the Rasputin of the ring as a chipper, cocky person, it was indeed a touching scene. It was just a little matter of 10 per cent which drove Johnston into the slough cf despair. The 10 per cent occurs in the contract which Johnston drew up and Primo Carrera signed for the Max Baer fight. The papers contain an agonizing discrepancy. Johnston, in agreeing to give Camera 37 Vs per cent of the net, overlooked the 10 per cent he I must cut off the top for the milk fund. He wants to pay Camera on the basis of 37 1 2 after the milk fund has iiad its cut. Camera wants his cut from the actual net. The milk fund won’t allow this, and as the Garden is wrangling for a piece of the McLarnin-Ross fight, which the milk fund controls, Johnston and his associates haven’t an out. Lawyers Drew' Contract Too Airtight Assuming the gate goes to a half million dollars, which it will, the difference between what the Gar-1 den wants to pay and what Car- | nera wants them to pay, is just under $19,000. This argument, which threatens to cost the Garden the finest heavyweight fight since Dempsey and Tunney went at it in Chicago, could : easily have been avoided. But John- : ston blundered in drawing up the | contract for Primo. The pain of j this blunder is made doubly acute ; by the fact he had considered it his masterpiece. He had enough lawyers to outfit ! a supreme court. The barristers j did everything but X-ray the docu- : ment in their efforts to make it airtight. When it was finished, John- | ston rubbed his hands in glee, patted j i himself resoundedly on the back, and went, around with a look which said: “My, my, what a smart boy I am I." Today he was sitting directly be- ; hind the eight-ball and Camera : who makes no claim to mental agil-1 ity. chops down trees in Maine with renewed vigor. Almost $19,000 worth of renewed vigor, in fact. And you can get a lot of renewed vigor, even I in these days, for that much cash. CRIMSON TO CLOSE SPRING GRID DRILL BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. April 13.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

N. Y. Gambler Bares New Angle on 1919 Black Sox' BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer NEW YORK. April 13.—We were sitting in a case drawing moist circles on the bare table-top with the bottoms of our glasses. "The' real story of that framed world series would make interesting telling.’’ said the little middle-aged man. "but I wouldn't tell it now even off the record. Ifs too long in the past and besides I am doing all right for myself.” The little middle-aged man had a lot to do with world series in which several of the Chicago White Sox players sold out to the gamblers and in accordance w’ith their contract clumsied enough games to lose to the Cincinnati Reds.

n a a THE little middle-aged man smiled. He remarked: "It’s funny seme of the stuff you hear about what happened and what was to happen, about who did this and j who did that. Yes .it certainly is.” j Th 6 waiter brought another round of legal tonic. "I suppose you read Ban Johnson’s account of the frame?” I recalled that Johnson as the j then president of the American | League and politically hostile to 1 Judge Landis, who had recently j been named the dictator of baseball, j had led the fight which brought the matter into court. "Well, among other things,” con-! tinued the little middle-aged man. | "Johnson w’rote the gamblers had certain unanticipated difficulties in getting the ‘fix’ money up early enough and as a consequence the first game of the series w r as played on the level. The fact is that was the one game above all others we just had to have in the bag. That game was vital to the success of our j transaction. There is always more money bet on the first game of a world series than on any other game. tt u m JOHNSON was partly right about our having difficulty in getting the money up, but w’e got it up in plenty of time to convince the White Sox players we W’ere dealing with that they had no fear of a double-cross. But w’e didn’t have it up in time to get the final word around the country to all our agents.” The little middle-aged man paused to apply a light to a cigar that w f as grotesquely large. "This whole thing is really a hell of a Williams. I wish you weren’t a newspaper man. I feel like talking tonight.” And then he went on talking. "So what, did w r e do? We sensed far enough in advance that we might have difficulties, so we settled upon a signal that in no w’ay involved us personally in the use of the telephone or the telegraph w’ire. It was a signal that all our agents instantly would recognize as they sat in the betting rooms around the country’ listening to the play 1 y play description. a tt tt ‘‘AS you know’, Eddie Cicotte was •x~Y the White Sox pitcher in the first game. And since he was the team's star pitcher the odds naturally were heavy on the American leaguers, generally conceded to be much the stronger team anyway. That was another reason those heavy odds —that it was important we have the first game won before it started. "We recognized of course that Cicotte w’as our key man in this game, so we took very good care of him before he went out on the field. We gave him SIO,OOO. He had insisted all along he must win one game in the series to avoid suspicion. That was all right with us but we W’anted to be positive he didn't win this first game. We gave the other six players $5,000 apiece—” "The other six players,” I interrupted. "You mean the other seven, don't you? There W’ere eight all told.” U tt tt “\TO, I mean the other six. One IN of those players they barred from baseball for life didn’t have any more to do w’ith throwing that series than Greta Garbo. One of these days i'll tell you about that. Anyway’, we had to have a signal to

start action from coast to coast. Know what it was? "Well, it was this: We got hold of Cicotte and told him of our prearranged tipoff. We told him it was absolutely necessary that he either pass the first batter or hit the first batter. The instant that came over the wire, our agents would go into action. Look up your records and see what happened.” (The records show that Rath, the Cincy Reds’ second baseman, was the first hitter against Cicotte. The first ball was called a strike. The next pitch hit Rath in the back and he went to first.)

A dual meet is scheduled with Washington at the Delavan Smith field next Friday.
