KANSAS CITT, Mo.. July 21.—" Are
we shooting the chutes or playing
ball?” was the question Manager
Hendricks put to his Indian pastim
era at a powwow session this morning
as the Tribesmen prepared to face
the K. C. Blues in the final game of
the series.
The Tribe pilot was plainly dis
turbed today as he looked over his
shattered pitching staff. The sin
gle hurler who did not get In any of
the previous battles here. Harry Wea
ver. ace of the staff, was to get the call
today to try his puzzlers In an effort
to lift the Indians out of the slump.
Old Pug Also Ready
Weaver had not worked since Sun
day and he was to get the afternoon
box assignment today if he showed
the proper stuff during awrming-up
time.
If Harry failed to warm up prop
erly Pug Cavet was to be trotted out
for a second try at the Blues. Cavet
pitched Tuesday and was defeated
only because his mates failed to hit
behind him.
By losing to the Blues Thursday.
14 to 6. the Indians were bumped out
of the league lead, the Saints going to
the top by trimming the Senators
twice in a double-header at St. Paul.
The Hendricksmen still had a
chance of regaining the flag position
before departing from this city, but
It would take a Tribe victory today
and a Saint defeat at St. Paul to do it.
That Bad Inning Jinx
The seven-runs-in-one-inning jinx
caught the Tribesmen again Thursday.
Hill started on the mound against
Caldwell and In the second stanza
the Blues sent Hill to the showers and
then continued to lambast Seib. The
locals scored enough that one Inning
to win, seven markers going over.
Bartlett relieved Seib later and did
a fair job of hurling. Caldwell failed
to stick it out for the Blues and he
was relieved by Wilkinson when the
Indians threatened.
The Tribe managed to total eleven
hits, but that total was nothing com
pared with the fifteen the bat wield
ers from the banks of the Kaw col
lected. Furthermore, the Tribe was
wabbly In the field again, four errors
being made. In other words. It was
just another hard day for the Hoo
aiers.
The defeat Thursday made five
losses in a row for the Hendricksmen
.—and they go to Milwaukee next,
where the Brewers have been wallop
ing the Louisville Colonels.

James Hall of Brooklyn proved the
star of the national swimming meet
yesterday at Broad Ripple. He took
the two big events for men by cap
turing the national junior 150-yard
back stroke contest and winning the
150-yard free style open race. In
both contests he emerged the victor
because of his ability to spurt at the
finish.
HARD-FOUGHT TRAP EVENT
150 Targets Needed to Decide Chicago
50-Target Match.
CHICAGO. July 21. —Although the
event called for 50 targets, it took 150
to determine the winner in a special
shoot at the Lincoln Park traps.
At the end of the regulation 50 tar
gets, 16 yards, C. P. Sheldon and F.
E. Mueller were tied for honors with
perfect scores.
The tied shooters were commanded
to shoot off for honors 4 n blocks of
twenty-five targets. Both Sheldon and
Mueller broke 23 out of the first 25
targets, remaining tied. Then the
pair broke 50 straight, still tied.
On the third block Sheldon broke
25 and Mueller 24, giving honors to
Sheldon.

COIN IN WAVES
PILING UP FOR
LEONARD SCRAP
Receipts to Near $500,000
Mark for Lightweight Bat
tle, Rickard Believes.
By United Vet c
NEW YORK, July 21.—The receipts
for the Leonard-Tendler lightweight
championship fight in Jersey City
next Thursday night are likely to
be nearer $500,000 than $400,000, ac
cording to the returns of the seat
sales already received by Tex Rick
ard.
The out-of-town sales have been
unusually large and if Rickard’s ex
pectations are fulfilled the match will
draw the largest gate In the history
of the game, except the Dempsey-Car
pentler fight.
Leonard and Tendler are still ham
mering away in their Jersey training
camps, the champion specializing on
’eft-handed sparring partners who do
their best to simulate Tendler's style
of attack.
Leonard explained and demonstrated
in graphic detail Thursday Just how
he expects to offset Tendler’s terrific
left hooks to the head and body and
beat him to the punch with hi own
right to the jaw.
"Tendler has been floored many
times,” Leonard said. "If others can
floor him. I can. too. and when I drop
them they usually stay down.”
Tendler will quit training Tuesday
and rest all day Wednesday dry out
Wednesday night and weigh in Thurs
day after a few limbering exercises.
Leonard will work out W ednesday
and then come to New York for the
night. Apparently neither man will
have any trouble making the weight
limit of 135 pounds at 2 o’clock.

THE INDJLAN APOLIIS TIMLS
TILLIE WALKER LATEST TO
JOIN HOME RUN MONARCHS
By BILLY EVANS
Clarence (Tillie) Walker of the
Philadelphia Athletics haa Joined the
select circle of home-run kings.
In the history of baseball, only
five major league players have made
100 or more home runs during their
major league career.
Walker broke into that select quin
tet on July 10, when he poled out
his century home run against the
Detroit Tigers. Walker threatens
to carry off the slugging honors In
the American league this year.
Babe Ruth tops the home-run
sluggers with 176 to his credit. Sam
Thompson, a hard hitter of the old
school when the ball wasn't as lively
as it is today, boasts of a record of
127.
Gawy Cravath, who has passed to
the minors, made 119 circuit swats.
When Hans Wagner retired he had
chalked up an even hundred.
While Walker always takes a
healthy cut at the ball, his home
run fame dates back only to 1918
when he Joined the Athletics. He
made his debut in the American

Walter Hagen, British open champion,

Thursday.
Hagen broke the course record in
the morning when he did a 32-34—66.
His total for the day’s ulay was 66-69
—135. French was 68-68 — 136. Kirk
wood was 72-68—140 and Fownes
76-73—149. The previous record for

The Cub* hopped on Grime* In the etgbtn

League In 1911 with the Washington
club.
After a trade Walker played as a
regular for St. Louis in 1914 and
1916, and in those two years amassed
eleven homers.
Then a trade took him to Boston,
where he replaced Tris Speaker, who
had been sold to Cleveland. With
Boston, Walker got only three home
runs in 1916 and two in 1917.
Walker’s next berth was with the
Philadelphia Athletics. With that
club he really began his home-run ca- j
reer. The rather short left-field I
bleachers In Philadelphia has, of j
course, been an aid, but many of
■Walker’s drives would have been good
for the circuit in a majority of the
major league ball parks.
In 1918, Walker made eleven home
runs. The following season he j
dropped a peg, getting only ten. In j
1920 he jumped his mark to seventeen !
circuit drives. Last season he came ;
through with twenty-three. This year |
he already has twenty-three to his
credit.
Walker is a right-handed batsman,
who uses a long, heavy club and takes
a hard swing at the ball.
FRANKIE MASON TOO MUCH
FOR CARSON IN FORT GO
Ft. Wayne Flyweight tn Decisive Vic
tory—Druley Shades Crouse.
Frankie Mason of Ft. Wayne, con
tender for the world's flyweight cham
pionahlp, proved far too clever for
Don Carson of Indianapolis at Ft.
Benjamin Haxrlson last night. Mason
won the referee’s decision at the end
of ten rounds after knocking his op
ponent down several times.
The first two rounds provided real
exhibitions of the boxing game, but
Mason's body punches began to tel!
in the third. Three times in the fifth
Carson went down, and it was only by
holding on that the Indianapolis boxer
was able to stay.
Carson was plucky and, while out
classed, be never quit trying. The
first round was a draw, but Mason
had the better of the other nine.
Yank Druley of Richmond won a
referee's decision over Buck Crouse
of Louisville in eight rounds of List
fighting. The Richmond scrapper
showed strong in the late rounds of
the battle and the decision was elope.
Four slashing rounds of scrapping
resulted in a draw between Johnnie
Strlckler of Richmond and Mickey
Shea of Ft. Harrison in the opening
preliminary.

DELANCO, N. J., July 2L—Shades of Jem Mace and John L.
Sullivan.
Wonder what those boys would say If they could see Lew
Tendler in his training quarters here preparing for his match with
Benny Leonard?
Any old kind of a shack served those boys when they were work
ing cut for a fight. Accommodations were mostly conspicuous by
their absence.
The summer home of Clarence H. Taubel, millionaire sportsman,
himself no novice with the gloves, provides Lew with training quarters.
The spacious house, fronting the Delaware River, has two square
blocks of grounds surrounding it. The whole is a mass of green
lawn and beautiful gardens filled with shrubs and flowers.
An outdoor boxing ring for sunshiny days and an Indoor gym with
the latest equipment for inclement weather are at Lew’s disposal.
How the hard-knuckled bruisers of the past would gasp if they
could see all this!

ANTI-HUGGINS TALK AGAIN
Erractic Form of Yankees Re
vives Rumors of New
Manager for Team.
By BENNY FARRELL,
United Press Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, July 21.—Speaking of
the peculiar features of the 1922 pen
nant races, a New York baseball man,
who does more than merely look at
the game, says: “Wonder if some of
these fellows want to win the pen
nant?”
Money being the ruling influence of
most of the players, he points out that
some of the players could make more
money by barnstorming and playing!
winter baseball than by living on the
glory of a world series.
He made direct reference to no club,
but he pointed out that star players
would have more in the long run with
the share of a second-place club in the
world series money and a fat winter
contract than they could get out of
the winner’s cut of the fall classic.
He pointed out that it might never
enter the head of the players to throw
games, but they might play carelessly
and without sufficient fight if they
felt that they didn’t care whether they
won or not.
The club owners in refusing to re
peal the anti-barnstorming rule and
in declaring each fall that they make
no money out of a short world series
might influence some players in be
lieving they were doing no wrong if
they didn't fight their heads off for
the pennant.
The in-and-out showing of the New
York Yankees has brought forward
the rumors again that Miller Huggins
will be decapitated as leader of the
American League champions.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., July 2L

New Ross, Ladoga, Brownsburg and
