By Eddie Ash Indians Coming Home for Last Stand mum They Still Have Something at Stake
1> ED KILLKFER’S Redskins will be home Saturday for a “party night’ game. It will be free to women and the Louisville Colonels will supply the opp<*dtion. The home boys still have a chance to top the eastern division and gain a place in the post-season play-off series, although the outlook doesn t look so rosy following that double defeat in St. Paul yesterday. The Tribe hurlers were tossing the home run ball again and the Apostles were in a receptive mood. Two home runs in the same inning beat Stewart Bolen in the afternoon opener and another four-base swipe helped knock off the Tribe in the wind-up tilt. Too bad. A flock of games will be played at Perry stadium before the 1034 curtain goes down. Louisville will be met in five games, Toledo in six and Columbus in five. The Indians will be in Louisville when the long and hard campaign comes to a close on Sept. 16. aaß b * * higher a club finishes in the A. A. the bigger the cut in the playX er bonus, and for that reason there will be no let-down on the part of the teams. Last year the Indians received S4OO each as a rewaid for landing in third place, and the swag certainly assisted the boys to ease through the winter months. Not many of the players succeeded in finding employment dunng the off-season and the bonus money was a fife eastern A. A. teams except Toledo lost yesterday, and now the Mud Hens have be<>ome ambitious to horn in on the scramble. Therefore it looks as though there is going to be a four-club battle to provide exciting entertainment during September. It will be a separate race * °* course, from the one being staged in the western half of the circuit, where Minneapolis has hog-tied all opposition. B B B B B B THE Millers will meet the high team in the east in a nine-game play-off series and the series winner will battle the International League champion in the annual “little world series. ’ The International also uses the play-off system, but four clubs are involved in it over there, the two highest northern clubs and the two highest southern teams. . . . .. , The Hoosiers won seven games and lost ten on the trip that ended yesterday. Their Waterloo was at Minneapolis, with Home-Town Ownie Bush acting the part of the Duke of Wellington. It's a curious world. An Irish Hoosier ruling the throne in Swedish territory, a b b a a a PETE NEBO, the Florida Seminole, now living in New York, wants Indianapolis fistic fans to know that he desires to make an attempt to give a punching lesson to Tracy Cox in Tracys home town. In a letter to The Times. Nebo penned the following epistle, in part: “I see that Tracy Cox is back in Indianapolis. He ran out on me on the two occasions that we were matched to fight. I would like a crack at him, because I want to lick him. They tell me he is a very good puncher. Well, I have no trouble with punchers. The hard fellows for me to fight are those running boxers who will not stand up and fight. “I gave Barney Ross a great fight in Kansas City last February' 7 and then gave Tony Canzonen a great fight on March 1. I have beaten Benny Bass, who also is rated a good puncher, and also a lot of other good men. I would like to have an Indianapolis promoter match me with Cox. and if the match is made I will not believe it until I see Tracy in the opposite comer.” a a b " b b NEBO gives his address as 318 East Eighty-fifth street, New York, New York. If local promoters are interested, communicate with Pete. With a victory over Tony Herrera under his belt, Cox doubtless will jump at the chance to tackle the Seminole Indian. Nebo has stopped a lot of punches during his life, and is not the Pete of old, but it is possible he's still a willing mixer and no easy mug to tip over. He follows the style of Billy Petrolle and the former slugger, Ace Hudkins—toe the mark and throw gloves. b 1 b B a a “Galloping Ghost,” with No. 77 on his back, will be out in Soldier field. Chicago, tomorrow night playing for the Chicago Bears against the college All-Stars. Every football fan knows that means Harold (Red) Grange, but some of them may not know that it will be his 221st game and the start of his sixteenth season on the gridiron. Nine years ago he was the most publicized football player in the land. Red is going on 30. and has taken about as much punishment on the gridiron as any one player. In his varsity career at Illinois a couple of Minnesota's giants almost wrecked him for good. In his first few years In the professional league he took some awful poundings from the boys who wanted to make him earn his big wages. a a a a a a THE kick-off opening the grid feature in Chicago tomorrow night is scheduled at 8:30 <7:30 Indianapolis time). The general admission is $1 10. In the event of rain the battle will be postponed until Saturday night. Coaches Noble Kizer. Dick Hanley and Jimmy Crowley, who are handling the All-Stars, will speak over radio station WGN tonight at 5:30 Indianapolis time. Their subject will be “Reviewing the College Squad.” They will be interviewed by Bob Elston of the Chicago Tribune.

Zaharias to Wrestle Here After Western Triumphs Colorado Heavyweight Matched with Charlie Strack on Hercules A. C. Card for Tuesday Night. George (Cry Baby) Zaharias, the well-known Colorado Greek heavyweight mat star, will clash with Charlie Strack, crack Boston husky, in the main go on the Hercules A. C. wrestling card next Tuesday night
at sports Arena. Zaharias will come to the local ring following a successful invasion of the west coast where he appeared before large crowds. One of his matches drew 10,000 patrons. Among his victories in the far west was a triumph over Jim Browning, the Missouri “hog caller.” Matchmaker Lloyd Carter figures that Strack, the former United States Olympic grappler, is the type of grappler who will be able to furnish Zaharias with plenty of competition. Strack always has been known here as a performer who stayed away from the rough style of grappling. Last Tuesday night at the arena, however, he proved that he could “get tough” when he “manhandled” Lou Plummer. The Strack-Zaharias tussle brings together two nationally known and “big time” mat aces and is expected to create more than the usual amount of interest. Carter plans to stage the match at Sports Arena if weather permits, but he will take it indoors to the Armory if the weather is inclement.

Giants Return Home Happy Despite Losses at Chicago; Hold Edge of 4 1-2 Games Hubbell Takes Trouncing From Cubs, 1-0, in Finale of Series; Detroit Gains Half Encounter, Although Rowe Is Defeated; Yanks Bow to Chisox, 3-1. BY THEON WRIGHT United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—When you find a bunch of ball players grinning over having tossed three out of four to their nearest rivals, you have what is known in the looney trade as acute paranoic insanity with possible complications of hebephrenic dementia praecox. The vorld champion Giants are coming home in exactly that frame of mind They were busted three times out of four in Chicago. They lost their first series in eighteen—the last having been in Chicago, also. They were knocked off twice without getting a run. And are they happy? They are—happy they didn't lose four straight.
The fact is, the Giants got three out of seven against the Cards and Cubs, which was all they expected. Four straight losses to the Cubs would have been a horse of another garage. Feared Series Sweep It would have meant a series sweep for the Cubs, and a series sweep would have put the Chicago fellows in a very virile frame of mind, so that they might easily have gone on winning more and more straight. Likewise, it would have been very depressing to the world champion Giants, who might easily have gone on losing more and more straight. As it is, they hold a four and one-half game margin, pretty safe at this stage. The Giants look back upon their western tour—if not with pride, at least with satisfaction. They won nine and lost seven, while the Cubs, in the same period, won eight and lost seven. The Cards played the best ball—eleven out of sixteen—but they were farthest back. The averages were: Giants, .563; Cubs, .533; Cards, .688. Yesterday Carl Hubbell took the licking from the Cubs, 1-0, Hughie Critz’ fumble in the ninth paving the way for the only run of the game. St. Louis stayed a game behind Chicago and five and a half behind New York, beating Brooklyn 4-1. Joe Medwick’s double, scoring Jack

Rothrock, broke up a 1-all tie in the sixth. Waite Hoyt of Pittsburgh and Huck Betts of Boston each had a fine day, Hughie shutting out the Pirates in the opener, 7-0, while Waite Hoyt, a Yankee castaway, performed a similar service upon the Braves in the nightcap, 7-0. Detroit gained a half-game on New York in the American, in spite of Schoolboy Rowe’s defeat in the nightcap which broke his streak of sixteen in a row. The Tigers won the opener on successive homers by Owen and Doljack, which broke up a tie in the eighth, Detroit winning, 12-7. It’s a fine lead for the Bengals, five full games. Browns Pass Senators The AthlqUcs assaulted Rowe in the fifth inning of the second game, Bing Miller's double driving in three. They drove the Arkansas scholar off the hump in the seventh, Philadelphia taking the decision, 13-5. Johnny Broaca pitched a four-hit game for New York, but lost to the Chicago White Sox, 3-1. The Sox scored three in the first on singles by A1 Simmons and Jimmy Dykes after Broaca had walked the first two men. St. Louis passed Washington, going into fifth place as Dick Coffman turned back the Senators, 5-4, getting three hits and driving in two runs.

Schoolboy Rowe A DEJECTED figure in the clubhouse at Shibe park, Philadelphia, yesterday, was pitcher Schoolboy Rowe, after he had been knocked out of the box while trying to post anew American League record of seventeen straight mound victories. The Tiger phenom took the beating to heart, but teammates cheered him after the game by discussing the Tigers’ excellent pennant prospects. Above is the Schoolboy, in doleful mien, wondering what was wrong when he was on the threshhold of fame. Perhaps he is saying. as he presses the ball against lips: “Little ball, what now? We’ll get ’em the next time, you worm!” FISHER MNS WEST By Vailed Press COLUMBUS, 0..
