As usual, the material that will oe available is a matter of some doubt at present and will remain on the doubtful list until the players are safe in the fold and practice started. If all of the veterans reI turn, it will be possible to place a j team on the field composed entirely ; of experienced players. In the back field.

INDIANS FACE FOUR GAMES IN TWO DAYS
Tribe in Last Bargain Card 9 of Long Race Slender Chance Hinges on Double-Headers Today and Tomorrow. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports tditsr The last big week-end of the season at Perry stadium is at hand and postponements that have piled up have created two double headers in two days. The Indians will battle the Tpledo Mud Hens today at 3:45 and 8:15 to close out the series with Steve O'Neill's pastimers. The Columbus Red Birds w’ill invade the Tribe park tomorrow and two afternoon tilts will be staged, the first at 2 o'clock. The Birds are leading the eastern A. A. division and are four games ahead of the local Redskins. The Buckeyes will be here for five battles, ending Wednesday, after which the Tribe will go to Louisville to pull down the curtain on the 1934 schedule, playing four games with the Colonels. Positions in Race The chances of the Hoosiers to land in the post-season pennant play-off with the Minneapolis Millers doubtless will hinge on the outcome of the four games at the stadium in two days, today and tomorrow. In the regular eight-club race the Millers are on top, Columbus is second, Milwaukee third. Indianapolis fourth and Louisville, in fifth position, is one game back of the Redskins. Minneapolis is leading the eightclub race by five and one-half games over Columbus in the runner-up spot, and the Millers are leading the western division by seven and onehalf games over Milwaukee. The Indians and the Mud Hens were held idle by rain yesterday and last night, and the six-game series scheduled here was reduced to five games, with Toledo holding an edge of 2 to 1 on the three contests that were completed. Women Free This Evening The Tribe has only a slender chance of catching Columbus, and at the same time the Indians also are in danger of being overtaken by Louisville. The battle for position is filled with fireworks and some lively action is promised in the bargain bills here this evening and tomorrow. Women will be admitted free at both games today. One admission will cover both conflicts at the “twi-light-moonlight” offering. The “Knothole Gang” also will be guests of the management. Millers Trounce Brewers The pace-setting Millers defeated Milwaukee. 12 to 5, yesterday. Columbus split a double-header with Louisville, winning the first game, 5 to 2, and losing the second, 9 to 6. Kansas City nosed out St. Paul, 7 to 5. Minneapolis wasted no time in getting started against the Brewers, scoring five runs in the first inning and two in the second. That was more than enough to vfln the game. Jess Petty allowed Milwaukee an even dozen hits, but the Brewers could mound them into only five runs. Cross, who, as a relief pitcher got credit for winning the first game of the Columbus-Louisville doubleheader, was charged with the loss in the second in the same role. Cleveland Buys Miller Slugger Ab Wright to Join Majors Next Spring. By 1 imrs Special MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. B.—The Cleveland Club of the American League has purchased Ab Wright, star outfielder, from Minneapolis of the American Association, president Mike Kelley announced today.

BY JAMES CLARK Director Indianapolis Chapter American Red Cross Life Savintr and Swimming. THE American Red Cross CityRecreation Department 1934 Water Polo League was the most successful ever to be conducted in the state of Indiana. More than 63,000 persons witnessed the fiftysix games played. The Riviera Club won fourteen straight games and scored 86 points to their opponents 14 to win the league pennant. Ellenberger won twelve and lost two, Longacre won nine and lost four, Rho ’ius won seven and lost seven, Willard won six and lost eight, Garfield won three and lost eleven, Warfleigh Beach won three and lost eleven, and McClure Beach failed to win a game. In picking the all-city selections, the boys were chosen by their ability to play, the number of games they have participated in, sportsmanship, their team record, and value to their team. August Hook and John Moore of the Riviera Club teamed together perfectly and outscored all opposition at forwards. At center Albert Rust of Rhodius gained every rush during the season and is easily the outstanding man on his team. Philip Reisler of Ellenberger, who is considered the outstanding water polo player in Indianapolis, is probably one of the best dribblers ever to play the game in this territory. At one guard Randall Willis of the Riviera Club, a veteran of the sport, captained, coached and led his team to the city championship. At the other guard James Motsinger at Longacre park, former Rhodius star, outplayed every opponent he faced during the season. At goal guard big Joe Klein of the Riviera Club was easily the outstanding guard in the city. He made many sensational stops and was a big factor in the success of his squad in capturing the league title. ,
with 21 victories and six defeats, for .778. Jerome Dean of St. Louis dropped to second place with 24 wins and seven losses for .774.

Ace Linksmen Draw Easy First Rounds in Amateur Standout Players Start in Separate Brackets at Brookline Monday; 68 Pull Byes. By United Press BROOKLINE, Mass., Sept. B.—The long-deferred draw for the national amateur championship, completed last night and announced today by the United States Golf Association, fell short of expectations because no two standout players were bracketed for first-round matches.
Because the draw was conducted blindly with no favoritism shown standout players, it, was almost a certainty that some of the stars would meet other stars in the opening jousts, but by a miracle, there was no such development. Play will start at 8:30 a. m. Monday with Charles Reckner, Mt. Airy, Pa., meeting Sayre McLeod, Convent, N. J. The first ace to tee off is Ross Somerville, Canadian from London, Ontario, who won the title at Baltimore two years ago. He plays E. P. Kirouse of Boston. Don Hamilton of Chicago withdrew. Bill Sixty of Milwaukee was named as his alternate. George Dawson of Chicago was a late withdrawal, with A1 Andreggan, also of Chicago, named as substitute. Plan of the tourney remained a mystery. All that the draw last night did was to determine who plays who in the first round. But the players were not located in the brackets and this locating will be deferred, probably until tomorrow. The sixty-eight players who drew first-round byes also were wondering whom they would play in the second round. OHIO JOCKEY DIES By Times Special VAN WERT. 0., Sept.

B—The Barney Ross-Jimmy McLarnin welterweight championship boxing bout billed for tonight was again postponed today because of rain by officials of Madison Square Garden.

Both fighters will remain in New York. Ross will work at Stillman's gymnasium, while McLarnin has yet to choose a training site.
