TRIBE FACES BIG CARD WITH COMING OF COLUMBUS; MIDWEEK DOUBLE BILL ON SCHEDULE
HEAVY SERIES
WITH CLYMERS
FOLLOWS BLUES
£ix Games in Four Days for
Indians With Senator
Outfit.
REILLEY HAS BIG DAY
Following the windup game with the
K. C. Blues this afternoon the Indians
will face their heaviest series of the
year when they tangle with the Biil
Clymer’s Columbus Senators for six
games in four days.
Tho extra bill calls for a double-header
tomorrow, single games Friday and Sat
urday and a second twin bill Sunday.
The Tribe pitching staff faces a huge
task, therefore, but it is ready to meet
it, and if the Hoosiers walloped the Blues
again today the old restored confidence
ll expected to carry the team through
the Senator seiles with colors flying.
DUKE GOING LIKE
BIG LEAGUER.
Duke Rellley played in big league style
yesterday and his work was the big fea
ture of the Indians' second victory over
the Blues, S to 4.
The speed merchant got three hits, one
a “sllker” for three sacks, drew a walk,
stole three bases and performed in his
usual brilliant style in the left field.
Duke uncorked his three-base blow with
the bases loaded and that socker
practically won the game.
Charlie Whitehouse faced the Cuban
Tuero on the mound and the local south
paw hurled a fair game. Several times
he gave signs of weakeaing. but he
managed to brace and finished the winner.

Both clubs scored a brace of markers
in the opening, but the Indians started
to draw out in front in the third by
sev ring a third run.
Four more were chased over in the
fourth and one in the sixth, making the
iota; eight.
The Blues counted two in the first, one
in the fourth and their last marker in
the sevtnth.
Manager Hendricks became appre
hensive at times when Whitehouse ap
peared to weaken, but he let the slim
southpaw stay and his judgement proved
correct.
TEX AND WALTER
GET TRIPLES.
Covington and Rehg cut iu with triples
that drove in runs, thereby boosting the
Tribe's rapidly mounting extra-base rec
ord.
The victory gave the Indians five out
of the last six games played, and the
Hoosier athletes have the feeling that
roey have at last struck a winning streak
that was a long ume coming, but never
theless welcome.
Vice President Smith's visit to Chicago,
where he conferred with Ban Johnson on
the Ollie O’Mara case, was without favor
able result to the Indians and the ban
placed against the Tribe jumper by the
national commission still stands.
Therefore, Ollie must remain out of
oiganized baseball for a period cf five
years, and now Ollie no doubt regrets
his unsportsmanlike move in deserting
the Indianapolis club after It had done
the right thing by him when it met his
own term*.
WASHINGTON PARK NOTES.
By jumping to the outlaws and there
by drawing a five-year suspension from
organized baseuall, Ollie O'.Viara lost out
on a three-year contract with the Bos
ton Bed Sox at an enormous salary.
Manager Ed Barrow was wild to ob
tain the Tribe thlrd-sacker and was will
ing to go the limit to get him. liut
Ollie dallied too long in the outlaw
league after leaving the Indiana. He
waa warned that five days would be
given for him to return, but he refused
to act iu thay time, ami then when ha
did come down off his perch it was
too late.
Ollie then began firing telegrams to
Owner Smith of the Indians asking when
he should report to Boston, but the case
had gone out of the jurisdiction of the
Indianapolis club and tthe national com-
settled O'Mar, i and a number
•< other jumpers with one sweeping
stroke.
A three-year contract at big figures
in the big leagues—that is what O'Mara
has robbed himself of by flirting with
the outlaws.
In the meantime the big plants in the
cast now supporting outlaw baseball are
likfiy to gl'fe up the sport whenever
they feel that labor problems have been
solved and recreation sideshows are no
longer needed to keep the workmen in
a working frame of mind.
Bunny Brief of the Blues is mighty
dangerous with the bat. It takes care
ful pitching to prevent him socking one
for extra bases. He got a double yester
day and on his last time up he drove
Rellley far back to get his distance fly.
Young Brock Is doing regular service
behind the bat for the Blues, but Reilley
got him rattled yesterday by running
wild on the bases.
Ed Sweeney, the other K. C. receiver,
appears to be too tired to work much.
Schreiber made a great play on Mc-
Carthy’s drive to deep short in the fifth.
The Indians need to practice in stop
ping the double steal with men on first
and third. The Blues put one through
on the Tribe yesterday.
Schreiber end Wolf, who have been In
the damps with the bat, each got a safety
yesterday. Eddie Zwiiling missed out
for the afternoon. He either popped up
or filed out.
The Tribe directors are trying to ob
tain an lnfielder from the Red Sox re
gardless of the failure of the O'Mara deal
to go through.
Reb Russell has been given bis nncon-
release by the Indians. When
/It deal was made for Herb Hunter,
Raasell was dropped. Reb’s weak throw
ing arm handicaps him as an outfielder.
Twilight Rowing the Fad
NEW LONDON, Conn., June IC.—Twi
light rowing has become the fad with
Coaches Haines and Nickalls of the Har
vard and Yale crews.
Tuesday the -rival crews did not take
to the Thames until after 7 o’clock and
today's practice spins were scheduled for
thst hour.
The intense heat caused both coaches
te keep erswa ashore until a late hoar.

Herzog Reinstated and
He May Be Tried Out
at First by the Cubs
BQSTON, June 16. —Rain Tuesday in
terrupted the new winning streak of the
Cubs and produced time for a confer
ence involving President Veeck, Manager
Mitchell and Charles Herzog of the Cubs,
who came here by request.
At the'close or the confab it was an
nounced that Herzog bad been rein
stated by the Cub manager and would
be in uniform, although not necessarily
ir. the lineup of the next game.
This does not eliminate the possibility
of a trade being arranged for Herzog, but
improves the chances of making one.
Terry has made himself a fixture at
second as long as he can keep up the
gait he has been going, which was much
faster than that set by Herzog this year.
Neither can Herzog displace Hollocher
nor Deal, so it looks as if he might be
fmt in first base when he returns to the
ineup.

CarpentiePs Move
Rather Strange as
Dempsey Is Freed
Fans Want Action, but French'
man Says He’s Going
Back Home.
By JACK VEIOCK.
International News Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, June 16.—1f Georges Car
pentler really wants to fight Jack Demp
sey the time has arrived for him to
prove It.
With the champion freed of slacker
charges today the way has been paved
for the signing of articles. It is time for
a showdown on Carpentier’s part.
News that Dempsey has been acquitted
caused a noticeable stir in boxing circles
here and it is certain that both boxers
will be engulfed in anew tidal wave of
offers.
The International News Service is re
liably informed that Dempsey stands
ready to take on the Frenchman at any
time. The champion wants to get back
into the ring and that without any hag
gling.
But Carpectier’s intentions are uncer
tain. The announcement that he is to
sail for France early In July without en
tering the ring In this country for n pro
fessional contest has greatly detracted
from his popularity.
Francois Descamps, It Is said, has
Eromlsed that Carpentler will return In
eptember to go through with bis match
with Battling Levinsky, but once the
Frenchman leaves our shores there is
doubt that he can be lured to return.
ACQUITTAL OF
CHAMP POPULAR
NEW YORK June 16—Boxing fan
dom in general seems to be pleased over
ihe act pf the federal jury In removing
the cloak of a “draft doeger" from Jack
Dempsey.
The champion proved himself at least
a good sport in not trying to retaliate.
He remained silent before his sccusers
and asked only for a chance to lay his
cards on the table.
At stake was more than the cham
pion’s name and his future. Upon the
final result of the trial depends to a
large part the success of efforts to put
the boxing game on a high plane in the
United States
With the heavyweight champion of
the world, an American, bebtnd the bare
doing time for being a coward, foreign
critics of the American game would have
choice material with which to continue
their attacks.
It would have proven a severe handi
cap aiso to tho International Sporting
club and other organizations which have
about reached the realization of their
dreams to make boxing a worth while
game in America.
Acquittal of Dempsey will aiso sc-ve
to clear some doubt s to the sincerity
of Georges Carpenticr, who came over
from France with the advertised purpose
of meeting the champion.
It will call for a showdown from the
Frenchman.
Carpentler and Deacamps are leav
ing July 10 for France and will return
in November, it is said.
The Impression is general In fight cir
cle* that if Dempsey doesn't get Car
pentler before be leaves the Frenchman
will never cornu back.
Federal Agents Still
on Lookout for Johnson
at the Mexican Line
TIA JUANA. Mexico, June 16.—Official*
of the department of Justice of the
United State* were still waiting at the
border today to place Jack Johnson,
former houry-weight champion of the
world, under arrest if he stepped aero**
the line.
The new Mexican government Tuesday
ordered Johnson, who hat been a fugi
tive from American Justice on a convic
tion of “white slavery” for eight >ear*,
to leave the country.
Johnson Is an “undesirable,” the Mex
icans say, and he has no place to go
except the United States nnd Jail. For
if he fail* to leave willingly Johnson
will be deported.
The new government I* making a na
tion-wide drive against undesirables, and
hundreds of men “without a country"
will be forced to leave.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.—“ Now

“There can be no more whispered cam
paigns carried on against the champion
now,” declared Kearns.
“Dempsey’s war record is clear,” he
said. “There's not a blot on it. The
charge that was utterly unfounded has
been removed —riddled by a jury in the
federal court.
“But the strain on both of us has been
terrific," he said. “We feel we need a
little quiet. The next date on which a
big fight could well be staged is Labor
day. We’ll be ready before then If the
public demands It. The site of the fight,
of course, Is up to the promoter making
the best offer.”

FOOTBALL DGESI
COMEBACK HERE
School Board Finally Gives
City What It Wants.
Touchdown! Touchdown!
Members of the Indianapolis school
board finally got their signals and-play#
working In winning style last night and
wdth a concentrated drive the high school
pigskin was pushed over the line.
Asa result Indianapolis again enters
the intersehoiastic football field and next
fall some of the spirit of days gone by
will reappear.
Manual, Shortridge and Technical are
b&PPy, former students of these school*
are happy and in fact the entire sport
loving public is happy.
It was ’a long, hard pull to bring the
grid game back into the local high
school athletic calendar, but It’s here at
last and once more the enthusiastic cry
of the pigskin chaser and rooters will be
heard in scholastic halls and o’er foot
ball fields.
ACTION PROMISED
COMING FALL.
And when south side, north side and
east side begin to mass their forces next
fall there's going to be something for
the grid fan to cneer about.
Agitation to restore the game to In
dianapolis was begun last fall by former
Btudents of the local schools and by
alumni of the various Indiana colleges.
Through the winter the drive often ap
peared to be forgotten whenever the
school board met, but ignoring the Issue
failed to stifle it and It kept coming un
til the popular verdict was forthcoming.
Shortly after representatives of In
diana colleges had met here last fall to
boost the plan to bring football back
In the high school athletic rank, E. U.
Graff, superintendent of public schools,
appointed a committee composed of the
three public high school principals,
George Buck of Shortridge. E. H. Kem
per McCornb of Manual and Milo H.
Stewart of Technical, to investigate the
advißibllity of restoring the game.
It was decided by the committee that
the sport would benefit the boys both
physically and morally and be of gen
eral benefit to high school life.
GRAFF RECOMMENDS
GAME BE RESTORED.
Mr. Graff laid the report of the com
mittee before the board of school com
missioners last night and recommended
favorable action on it.
Before the board voted Mr. Graff asked
the members to consider his plans for
laying off proper playing fields for each
school and extra pay for the teachers
appointed to coach the teams.
Charles L. Barry motioned that a
resolution be adopted In favor of high
school football and his motion was sec
onded by Mrs. Julia B. Tutewiler. A
unanimous vote was cast in favor of
the game.
In presenting his motion Mr. Barry
stated that football has been proven
"just the thing” for the physical and
moral development of high school and
college students throughout the coun
try.
Football was put under ban in Indi
anapolis high schools in 1906, when tho
annual Manual-Shortridge Thanksgiving
day battle ended with a scrimmage, more
between outside rooters than students of
the two schools. The board ruled that
oue game could be played in 1907, then
the curtain was dropped. jr
Mr. Graff has stated that he benft*_t
the entrance of Technical into the fielj
will eliminate some of the intense
that existed between Manual and Short
ridge in former years.
Students desiring to play football in
the high schools must live up to the rul
ing of the I. H. S. A. A. in obtaining
doctors' certificates and the written con
sent of their parents.
The report that Indianapolis high
school football will be played next year
was met with favor by Permanent Secre
tary A. L. Trester of the I. H. S. A. A.
