TRIBE DEAL WITH THE BOSTON AMERICANS LIKELY, WITH OLLIE O'MARA USED IN TRM
HENDRICKS AND
SMITH CONFER
WITH RED SOX
Indian Bosses in Chicago To
day in Effort to Get Play
ers for Team.
MILLERS OPEN SERIES
Watch for a big deal, fans!
Both President Smith and Manager
Hendricks gumshoed out of town today
In the direction of Chicago.
The Boston Red Sox are playing in
CBicago.
The Red Sox want Ollie O'Mara, slug
ging Tribe third baseman who leaped to
the outlaws not long ago.
Bd Holly, Red Sox scout, only recently
departed from Indianapolis after hob
nobbing at Washington park.
AFTER O'MARA
FOR hOG TIME!
The Red Sox have wanted O'Mara since
early in the season but the Tribe officials
didn't believe it would be fair to lpcal
fans to sell or trade the team's best
ttfcyer, and the original big league offer
Was turned down.
Then, it is said. O'Mara got wind of
the fact that a big league club wanted
him and, it is further said, that when
Owner Smith and Manager Hendricks
Intimated that they would not think of
giving him up until after the A. A.
season closed, he went A. W. O. L.
After O'Mara departed the Red Sox
■rout drifted In and it is thought that
the Tribe directors made a deal.
At any rate Smith and Hendricks are
b Chicago and it is believed that when
•hey return they will have two or three
new players with them.
RED SOX TOOK
FLAYER STATZ.
Outfielder Statz, whom the Tribe
nearly obtained from the New York
Giants, was grabbed by the Red Sox by
the waiver route Just as McGraw was on
the point of sending him to Indianapolis.
Therefore, it is believed the Iloosiers
are due to get help from the Red Sox
through an O'Mara deal or through
purchase.
Any way to get ’em.
That's the Tribe policy now, because
the Hoosiers are up against it and must
have help.
PONGO’S OUTFIT
ON FIRST VISIT
Having failed against the Saints and
Brewers the Indians today opened a
series with the other northern team of
the association, the base-hitting Millers,
piloted by the veteran Pongo Joe t'an
tillon. who has been in baseball so long
that he has to think hard in order to
remember the year in which he entered
the pastime.
This is the first visit of the season the
Millers have made to Washington park
and the fans are anxious to get out to
■ee what Pongo has in the way of a
twee bnsting crew this year.

proprietor, testified that Magee proposed
to him to ''toss" the game, and President
John Heydler of the National league and

them in which he said he desired to make
a clean breast of the entire matter.

trickery and fraud and also the neces
sity of upholding the public confidence
in ’ baseball contests,"

Far-West Baseball Request.
The Indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce today received a letter from
Portland, Ore., announcing the organ
ization of a baseball club among the
leading high school players of that city,
for the purpose of touring the middle
western states and meeting all comers
in the high school, collegiate, amateur
and semi-pro ranks.
The team desires a game in Indian
apolis and steps are being taken to or
ganize a club that can give the western
ers a real battle.
George Welbaum, member of the
Chamber of Commerce Athletic commit
tee, will combine forces with R. Walter
Jarvis, president of the I. A. B. A., and
James H. Lowry, chairman of the board
of directors of the I. A. B. A., and they
probably will begin at once to pick a
team of the players making the best
showing in the local amateur loops to
pisv the Portland club.
The date for the coming of the all-star
aggregation has been left to the choice
of the Chamber of Commerce. The team
will leave home on July 14 and will make
several stops before reaching Indian

game probably will be played on either
a Saturday or Sunday at Washington
park.
Indianapolis ranks among the lending
cities of the country in the amateur base
ball class this year, having an asso

that can take the Portland outfit down
the line in a decisive manner.

Swede Risberg Rumors
CSJICAGO, June 10.—When the White
Sox took the field agpinst the Red Sox
yesterday, Swede Risberg was missing
from the shortstop position.
It was officially announced that he had
gone to San Francisco because of the ill
ness of one of his children.
From another source, however, it was
learned there was a possibility of his
having Jumped the team. Risberg threat
ened to quit last spring, but relented.
There is a chance that the outlaw
which harbors Chick Gandll has been
tempting “Swede.”
