but Feel They Have the
Better Team.
MILWAUKEE. May 13—Jack Hen
dricks’ Indians today had i feeling that
they had better start winning at oDce or
be forced to suffer a decrease in their
rating in the A. A.
Every member of the fcqctad wai anx
ions to get up in this territory because.
! 11 thought that the early season slump
whim hit them dnring their circuit of
the eastern wheel of the league would be
shaken off after they arrived in the west
ern. half of the loop, but in the very
first game here the noosiers dropped m
defeat again, the Brewers nosing them
out yesterday, 5 to 4.
FEEL NEED OF
STARTING SOMETHING.
’ Therefore, the Hoosier athletes were all
fired up today ready to battle their heads
off in an effort to start a winning streak.
The club is badiy in need of a run of
victories to help restore confidence and the
veterans on the squad hoped to swing the
team back into something like a winning

‘-.racer Eran of the Brewers had a
choice of any number of twirlers.
It was a bad day for baseball yester
day. but the came was played neverthe
less and the few fans in attendance saw
the Brewers edge out a victory.
< avet started on the mound for the
i ribe, bet didn't last and Rogge and
Murray got into the fracas in the clos
ing innings. Despite the defeat, however,
the Indians can t figure the Brewers have
much class and they hoped to prove it
today.
Jake Northrop, former Indian, hnrled
tor the locals most of the distance, but a
threatening rally in the ninth carused him
to be Jerked in favor of Howard, who
put the big check on the Tribe.
Northrop was touched up lively In
ibe fourth and ninth, though it must
be said that Jake was in the game with
plenty of stnff, both in the box and at
bat.
Mostil headed the Brewer attack with
three doubles and his bludgeon kept the
Indians worried the entire afternoon.
An error by Jimmy Smith and a wild
pitch by Murray were costly, the wild
pitch letting in the winning run in the
eighth. The Smith error occurred in the
fourth and permitted a Brewer run.
Ollie O’Hara contributed the field tug
feature of the day with great defensive
work around third base.
Oatrher Hnhn of the locals was fired
out of the game by Umpire Knapp in
the seventh for protesting a decision at
the piste.

The Toledo Hens soon will meet
the Saints. Reger Breenahan either
will continue to live or turn up his

The Senatnrs scratched out another vic

because most of the t’olumbus safeties

However, the Saints have bad all the

can stand a few bad breaks.

‘Hypnotic Eye? of
Descamps Fails to
Halt Yankee Punch
George Chapin, Carpentier’s
Stable Mate , Knocked Out
in Sixth by Tendler.
By HENRY FARRELL,
Unl*ed Pres# Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, May 13.—Another good
foreign fighter gone wrong.
George Papin, lightweight champion
of France and stable mate of the noted
Carpentier, ti>6k his first lesson in an
American ring last night and went to the
foot of the class.
Lew Tendler, the Quaker city light
weight, chased him for five rounds,
caught him in the sixth and put him
out in the ring in Jersey City.
COUNT OF NINE
FOUR TIMES.
Referee Ertle counted nine over the
Frenchman four times. Four times
Francois Descamps, “hypnotic” mana
ger. tapped on tbe corner floor as a sig
nal to arise and the boy got to his feet.
The fifth time he couldn't make it,
despite the frenzied tapping of the ex
cited manager.
Asa tighter Papin is a wonderful
sprinter. If any records were on the
nooks for running backwards the French
man would come close to having all of
them. He set such a dizzy running pace
in his that Tendler couldn't keep
up with him.
Papin was trapped in a neutral corner
in the fifth and was pushed down three
times for the count of nine—a sensation
that had never been bis before. The first
blow was a terrific right in the stomach
and he was out from that time on.
FRENCHIE FAILS
TO LAND BLOWS.
I'apln has nothing but gameness. He
didn't hit Tendler more than three times
in the fight, and not one of the blows
shook the Philadelphian. In leading
Papiu made himself wide open and T'ena
ler went right through with lefts and
rights at will.
