Tribe Drops 12th ‘Double’ Of Campaign

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 3. — The Indianapolis Indians tonight make their last appearance of the season in Minneapolis when they tackle the {Millers in a single game out at Nicollet park. After tonight the Redskins will move on to Kansas City for a three-day stand. Last night the Millers downed the Tribesters in both ends of the double-header, 7 to 2 and 6 to 3. The Indians had a bad night in the field and committed four errors in the seven-inning first game and three in the second. It was the Tribe's 12th double-header defeat this season. The gamese were played in stifling heat. In the first contest the Millers pounded Harry Kelley and Bob Martin for 10 hits ge al double and a home run. The I dians were held to seven blows, | Kerby Farrell got two of the Tribe's | safeties and one was good for the! circuit.

In $50,000,000

By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Sports Editor ‘NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—Pvts. Bob Montgomery and Beau Jack are making a grand gesture in the most xtraordinary boxing show ever staged—at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night. For the first time in history prominent boxers are facing one .another free, gratis and for nothing. It is the young patriots’ contribution toward a near $50,000,000 war bond gate. The treasury department, which is paying $12,500,000, give or take a million, to stage the production, is delighted to dish out this kind of dough. Of course, there’s something like an I. O. U, attached to this money. The cash won't be forthcoming for 10 years or so, but Uncle Sam is reliable, The lettuce will be there. From $25 to $100,000 Ten or 12 million seems like an {awful lot of cabbage to pay for a | boxing contest, even one involving two of the best lightweights in the

| world, but it’s perfectly all right be-

| cause it represents the interest that | will accumulate on war bonds pur{chased by fans. 2 Tickets are priced at from $25 to T1000. There are rows at $1000, $5000, $10,000, $25,000 and $50,000 to ‘make up a sum by far the largest

ever attempted in individual bonds -

for a single event. The ringside will be remindful of the Garden's old,

600 millionaires, but there is plenty|

of room for the E-bond boys. There]

are 18,500 seats and every one is re-

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 (U.
