By Eddie Ash Tribe Pennant Rivals Are Frightened 9 m They See Cooney and Turner in Offing

The Indianapolis Indians are hack in the very thick of the pennant fight and don't he surprised to see the Redskins come through. They have advanced to within one-half game of the top perch and have knocked off six victories in their last seven battles. It’s a good sign when this is accomplished in the stretch. The four western clubs are now making their final invasion of the east and already the Tribesmen have disposed of two of the invaders, Milwaukee and Kansas City. The Blues will Ik? met again tonight, hut the edge in the series was stored away in the Indians’ hat bag over the week-end when they annexed three straight. Under Red Killefer's efficient management, the Redskins have kept close to the No. 1 position despite the long absence of two mainstays with injuries, outfielder Johnny Cooney and pitcher Jim Turner. This situation has led to much concern in the camps of the Millers, Red Birds and Brewers, because they know the caliber of Cooney and Turner and realize that sooner or later both stars will return to action. a a a a a a INN’EAPOLIS. Columbus and Milwaukee are making frantic efforts to strengthen to the Indianapolis threat. The Brewers purchased George Dctore from Louisville Saturday. He is a versatile performer and r a capable pastimer at all positions on the infield and behind the bgt It will be a bic moment in the lives of President NormanPerry and Manager Kiilcfcr in the event the Indians snatch the championship. The Tribesmen trained in their own state this spring and brought loud laughs from the league. Well, who's laughing now? It seems that Chief KilWer knew hi' snowballs as well as his baseballs, and when the barrier was sprung on the new season his Indians were in the * pink ' He brought them along by easy stages and proved that soft southern sunshine isn't so important after all. Instead of collecting a lot of fashionable sun tan. Red's pastimers put on a coat of Hoosier wind tan and it made cm good and tough and capable of bearing up under any kind of weather. a a a a a a IT would be a difficult matter even to manufacture a closer fight than the current race Us Tom Hickey s a. a. Kansas City and St. Paul are not figured in the running any more, but thpre is not a whole lot of difference from first to sixth places. The Toledo Hens are sixth and the standing shows the Mud Hens only eight games back of the pacesetting Millers. The ‘games behind leaders" figures are as follows: Indianapolis, one-half game: Columbus, two games; Milwaukee, three and one-half games; Louisville, five and one-half games; Toledo, eight games: Kansas Citv, eleven games; St. Paul, thirteen and one-half games. The poor old Saints have dropped thirteen in a row. Financial troubles in St. Paul and the threat to move the franchise evidently took the heart out of the Apostle boys.

TRIBESMEN SNAP AT HEELS OF LEADERS

Indians Snare Three in Row During Spurt Women Free at K. C. Finale Tonight; Washington Batting .392. BY EDDIE ASH (Timrs sports Editor. Red Killeter's Redskins spent the week-end in perfect bliss. They rolled up three in a row over the Kansas City Blues and advanced in the topsy-turvy pennant race to within one-half game of the leagueleading Minneapolis Millers. Keep going, Indians! On Saturday night Stewart Bolen blanked the Kaws in the series opener, 6 to 0, and yesterday, in the Sabbath bargain attraction, the Tribesmen took complete charge of the bargain and annexed both ends, 13 to 3, and 5 to 3. Rosie Smacks Homer The crafty Bill Burwell trounced the visitors in the first fracas yesterday and it took seven innings before the Blues solved him for a run. In the meantime the Indians blasted the horsehide to all corners and collected nineteen hits, including u circuit drive by Harry Rosenberg. Hal Chamberlain, young righthander, won the hearts of the Hoosier supporters in the second encounter yesterday. He went to the rescue of Phil Weinert in the second inning and then proceeded t 9 pitch his way to a fancy victory’. The finale of the Kansas City series will be played under the lights at 8:15 tonight and it will be the Blues’ last appearance of the year at Perry stadium. It will be “ladies’ night’’ and women will be admitted free with the customary dime amusement tax. A packed park is expected and the stadium gates w’ill be opened at 6 p. m. to take care of the early goers. Six Out of Seven The Redskins have won six tilts out of their last seven starts and are putting up a great fight to regain the American Association leadership. They are on the doorstep and apparently aim to overtake Ownie Bush's Millers at any time now. Vernon George Washington, Tribe right fielder and leading slugger of the league, "fattened up"’ over the week-end and boosted his average to .392. He collected three blows Saturday night and five in the tw’o battles yesterday. A special box office will be opened at the Perry stadium entrance tonight to take care of box seat reservations made in advance. This arrangement will be made to relieve the congestion at the regular box offices. BIRDS SELL BILLY MYERS Columbus to Receive Two Players and Cash From Giants. By Timrs Special COLUMBUS. 0..

The Birds will receive two players and a sum of cash in exchange. Myers will report to the major club after close of the Association season. Trautman also confirmed he has acquired an option on outfielder Bocek of the Chicago White Sox.

Redskin Rookie Subdues K. C.

! \ "

Hal Chamberlain WHEN the veteran Phil Weinert, southpaw, was knocked out of the box in the second inning of the second half of the double bill at Perry stadium yesterday, Hal Chamberlain, stalwart rookie right hander from California, took up the Tribe mound toil and succeeded in stopping the Kansas City attack. The big fellow then went on to win his game, 5 to 3. He held the visitors to seven hits and struck out four in eight stanzas. . This is Chamberlain’s first season as a leaguer. He was picked out of the semi-pro ranks of California by Manager Red Killefer and lives at Manhattan Beach. He is 22 and looks the part of a future mainstay.

2 Bouts Over Long Route Make Up Grappling Menu McMillen-Strack Clash Will Be Tops’ Tomorrow; Plummer-Marvin Go First on Arena Bill. The Jim McMillen-Charlie Strack match will serve as “tops’ on the Hercules A. C. all-heavyweight mat card at Sports Arena tomorrow night, it was announced today by Matchmaker Lloyd Carter.

First on the “bargain bill” program, which starts at 8:30, will be a tilt between Lou ((Boastful) Plummer, 228, the rough Baltimore husky, and the two-fisted Tom (Bad Wolf) Marvin, 212, of Oklahoma. Both matches will be for two falls out of three with each carrying a ninety-minute time limit. The customary short opening bout will be dispensed with in order that the entire bill may be given over to the feature tussles. Two former college stars will be coming together when Strack and McMillen collide. Big Jim was an all-American grid ace a few years ago at the University of Illinois. Strack was a mat and football idol at Colgate and was twice a member of the United States Olympic wrestling team. Charlie weighs 235 and McMillen 222. Their meeting tomorrow night is a “rubber match” which is expected to provide the fans with plenty of action. The huskies divided honors in two previous tussles and the third encounter promises to settle the argument as to “who’s who.” STEVENSON IS VICTOR IN 100-TARGET EVENT Tom Stevenson missed but three bulls-eyes to win the 100-target feature event at the Indianapolis Skeet Club yesterday. C. O. Free was second with a score of 96, and Davis placed third with 85. Palmer won the seventy-five-tar-get event with a 68. Pratt shot a 49 in the fifty-target meet, and Paton copped the twenty-five-target with twenty-three connections. The four-team event was won by the Crooked Creek Gun Club with 226 hits out of a possible 250.

siveness is not properly applied. A splendid chap in store clothes, he has a wicked temper in a baseball uniform. The Mississippi Rebel actually has stood arguing with customers in the bleachers while fly balls sailed over his head. Walker is of good speed, but is the type who swipes third base with his club three runs behind. He is a good thrower to the wrong base. He has bad hands, is a poor judge of a fly, and weak on ground balls. Otherwise he's all right. a b a W'KITE. iike Goslin. bats lefthanded, and is a fine base runner, but can not be compared with Cobb, as some are doing in Henry Ford's burg. White's only resemblance to Cobb in any respect is that both hail from Georgia.

By Times Special HAMILTON. 0., Aug. 6.—Arrell Reinking, Indianapolis outboard racer, captured top honors in a program at the Hamilton Boat Club on the Miami river here yesterday. The Indianapolis pilot won first in both Class A and B. competition, placed second in a Class C event and third in a free-for all. He has not been defeated in Class A competition this season. Tony Venezia, also of Indianapolis, captured second in the free-for-all event. Jack Smith, Park Hills, Ky., was winner in the Class C division. Rhodius Swim Squad Trims Local Rivals The Rhodius park aquatic team again trounced city squads in the river swim held yesterday afternoon at Warfleigh beach.

Nancy Baumhofer of Rhodius won first place in the women’s swim and tied yvith Grace Kattau of Willard for first place in the women's 100yard free style contest. Charles Goerke, Rhodius star, copped the 440-yard race for boys under 110 pounds, and returned to win both the men's 880-vard and men's open 440-yard swims. OLD-TIMERS ON PARADE By Times Special SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 6.—Two hundred old-time baseball players turned out yesterday for the annual "old-timers’ ’’ three-inning game, held in conjunction with the SealsMissions double-header. George Van Haltren, star with the New York Giants for seventeen years and the oldest player participating yesterday, scored a single in his one time up.

Neither White nor Fox, also an excellent hand on the paths, packs the poundage to get away with what the Peach did. Neither scales more than 150 pounds, if that. Cobb carried 185 at a blinding speed. It is easy to understand how Tyrus Raymond and his sharp spikes whirled infielders around. White has a fair kind of an arm and. next to Goslin, is the best flychaser on the Detroit pay roll. But he lacks stamina, and fails off after going well for three or four days. a a a WHEN balls are hit to Fox in right field, opposing players keep on running. The representative from Evansville, Ind., is the weakest thrower of the group, a streaky bitter, and horrible on off

days, when he can’t judge a fly ball. Frank Doljack, hitting a measly .207, appears to have a minor league complex. Doljack has the weight and shoulder -and wrist power of a great hitter, but seems to choke up in the big show. This marks the third trial of the boy from the Cleveland sandlots. He is .neither fast nor aggressive, but should be a whale at the rubber. Ship Doljack to the American Association, and he'll roar along at a ,370 clip, but bring him into the American League and he gropes in semi-darkness. But a glimpse at the club standings will show you that Detroit is getting on fairly well with Goslin and his mediocre playmates. The laugh isn’t on them. It s on the league.
