WITH LEADERS
Indians Have ‘Breaks’ to Bat
tle as Well as Ag
gressive Saints.
FLUKE HIT BEATS US
Hoping for better lack today the In
dians were carded to tangle in the sec
ond gar.:'! of the series with the leading
Saints, who were all smiles as a result
at the outcome of yesterday's contest.
It is evident the Hooslers are up
against the same old Jinx that rode them
all last season whenever they met Mike
Kelley's outfit.
Os course Kelley has a regular hall
club, but said club also has a monopoly
on baseball luck when opposed to the
Indiana. N
VISITORS GET
TWO IN NINTH.
The Saints grabbed the series opener
Wednesday. 3 to 1, getting two rues in
the ninth, after two men had been retired.
The Indians had played errorless ball
behind Caret and wnen the Tribe had
knotted the count at 1 and 1 in the
eighth she fans were of me opiuion that
their favorites were on the road to vic

Then along came Duncan with a rab
bit's foot hit that broke up the game.
Caret had two strikes on the Saint
pinch hitter and then he threw a high
curve that Duncan dodged away from.
In stooping, the Saint batsmen lifted
his bat. the ball hit it and popped over
third base into fair territory.
It was the flukiest kind of a hit. but
It was worth gold to the Saints for it
'vent as a double and scored both Berg

That “break" against them was enough
to take the heart out of the Hoosiers.
but Cavet didn’t falter and got Dreasen
without trouble and Pressen is rated a
better hitter than Duncan.
INDIANS’ I.AST
STAND FAILS.
The Indians tried hard 'ln their half
of the ninth, but the best they could
do was to get one man on and away went
the Saints with the ball game.
Duncan's so-called blngie was really
laughable because he did not even strike
at the halL so how are you going to beat i
that kind of base Dall?
Reb Itussel! put on an afternoon show
of his own and was the star Tribe per
former of the day. He taade four diffi
cult catches in right field, one being a :
bavk-hand affair with his gloved hand
that amazed players 3nd spectators
alike. Keb also got a triple In the
eighth and was driven home bv Gossett
eighth and was driven home by Gossett
for the Tribe s only run.
The Saints scored their first marker in
the second, and it also was a lucky run.
Miller, first up In that frame, got a dou
ble on a short fly that Zwilllng played
awkwardly. He advanced to third on
Hargrave's deep fly and scored on Berg
hammer’s sacrifice hoist to Hassell.

Tt. St. Louis Browns and BostonTted
Sox had scoute present at the Tribe-
Saint game yesterday. Bill Frlel repre
sented the former einb and Ed Holly the
latter. Both are said to he interested in
proposed deals for Ollie O’Mara.
O'Mars is said to have Joined the Oil
Citr (P.) outlaw club. In his first
game with that team, according to
reports, he staged a wild argument
with the umpire and lost his club the
game by the forfeit ronte when he re
fused to subside.
President Smith Is In the east and it is
likely he will arrange a deal whereby
O’Mara will be traded to one of the Mg
league clubs, the Bed Sox in probability.
The Indians must receive plenty of good
talent In return, however, or Ollle will
be left outside organized baseball’s fold.
Jsrghammer is still going big against
the Indians. lie Is not rated a heavy
hitter, but he alwnys gets plenty of
hits when the Salntß tangle with the
Hoosiers.
Tarzan Haas, former Brewer, Is play
ing left field for the Saints.
Vet Charlie Hall finished on the mound
for Kelley’s gang yesterday after Wil
liams had retired to let Duncan get that
lluke pinch hit.
Schreiber and Smith are playing
flashy ball around the Tribe key
stone sack.
The batting slump that ZwiUing and
Covington are in Is a severe handicap
to the Indians’ attack.
Charlie Whitebouse. Indianapolis
southpaw obtained from the Millers, was
due to hurl for the Hoosiers today.
Gossetf* tried to stretch a
double Into a triple in the sixth and
was an easy out. It robbed the Indians
of a chance to score.
Murray and McGloon are officiating in
this series. Murray is the -same old .Tim.
the best umps in the league.
The Saints got four doubles In the
game yesterday end all were of the
cheese variety.
t“The Toledo Hens opened their re
turn home by downing the Millers, 3 to 2.
Morley Jennings is back at short for the
Millers.
The Colonels mauled the Brewer pitch
ers and won easily. Betzel and Lamar
were the hitting stars.

LONDON. June 3. —Spion Kop, In win
ning the English derby at Epsom Downs
yesterday, established anew record for
the event and made the fastest time for
the distance in the history of racing.
He covered the course la 2 minutes

BABE, ruth:
Baseball’s king swatter, Babe Ruth,
smashed out three home runs In New
York yesterday, getting two circuit
clouts In the first game of a double
header with Washington and one homer
in the second game of the afternoon.
Pitchers are not taking their caps off
to Ruth; he's knocking ’em off.
His clouts in New \*ork yesterday
brought his season's total up to fifteen.
After drawing three bails and two
strikes in the first inning of the first

Ruth slammed the ball into the upper

GOTHAM TURNS
TO BABE RUTH,
AS LATEST FAD
Baseball’s Socker King Backs
All Other Prominerits Off
the Boards.
THOUSANDS SEE HIM
By HENRY L. FARRELL,
United Press Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, June 3. —New York is
‘‘Babe Ruth crazy." /
He's the latest fad oi a town that goes
the limit in hero Idolatry.
His name and his feats are getting in
big print over the world's news in New
York papers.
He is being interviewed and the “sob
sisters' are pulling yarns out of Mrs.
Babe. /
• Under the bright lights of
they are talking not of Ina Claire, Lenore
Ulrich. Fay Balnter and ihe. others whose
fame is glared to tile night skies, but ol
the new wonder of Gotham-—Babe Ruth,
king of the suckers.
Down In the canyons of commerce or
the lower island, in society and around
the hotels, ttfe question is:
"What did Babe Ruth do today?”
In the stock exchange the baseball
tickers draw almost as many eyesjs th*
tape with the latest quotations.
Visitors In town, usually stumped sot
something to do. ask the hotel clerks how
to while away the afternoon.
“Go see Babe Ruth" is the first sug
gestion.
With the season just about one-fourth
gone, the Rabe has played to more peo
ple than the Yanks drew in tile whole
season of 1917.
In three days this week he has hit four
home runs for close to 90,000 fans. Twice
he has packed the huge Polo grounds
tighter than they have ever been before.
The purchase of Ruth for $150,000,
deemed last winter the prize bit of folly
by venturesome speculators, has turned
out to be tbe shrewdest bit of business
pulled off In the history of baseball.
