FINAL CONTEST TOMORROW FOR INDIANS BEFORE TEAM DEPARTS ON SEASON’S LONGEST TRim
MIDWEEK TWIN
VICTORY GOAL
OF TRIBESMEN
Only One Game Left in Series
* After Double Attraction
With Hens.
TUESDAY CONTEST WON
Grabbing two in on# afternoon was
the ambition of the Indians today when
they stacked up against the Toledo Hens
in the double attraction at Washington
park this afternoon.
Jones and Caret were the Tribe pitch
ers slated for mound performance nnd
due to the fact that |he fans were
robbed of their customary entertainment
last Sunday a large midweek attendance
was expected out to witness the twin
cardi
The series stood eTen as the riral
flubs took the field this afternoon e.nd
a warm battle was anticipated.
TRIBE SOT SO
EAR KN REAR. (
The Hoosiers were wildly ambitious
to cop two games and thereby break
into another winning streak because it
will take only a few more victories to
put the team up within hailing distance
of the second and third place clubs.
After today only one more game is
left in the series with the Hens, fol
lowing which the Indians will depart on
the longest road trip of the season.
Jess Pettv eased through an S to 4
Ttctory for the Indians yesterday when
the Tribesmen took a liking to the of
ferings of King Brady and made most
•f their hits count in the scoring.
The locals got into the scoring in
the first inning, counting three. They re
peated the stunt in the fourth, and then
followed with two in the fifth. The Hens
grabbed one in the second, two in the
fifth and one in the sixth.
It was an afternoon of doubles, the
Tribe getting four and the Hens a like
number.
SUPPORT STATS
WITH PETTY.
The Hens were close behind the locals
in quantity hitting, but their blows were
not as timely. Petty worked unusually
hard and his support worked likewise,
wtth the result that the Hens were left
with only a loneshot chance that didn't
develop Into anything worth while.
Rookie Shlnners occupied center field
for the Indians and demonstrated that
be knows how to romp in the gardens.
He also cut in with a two base hit. prov
ing that Manager Hendricks tad the cor
rect dope when he injected him into the
lineup. Walter Rebg was at third base
In place of Wolf, this change giving
Shlnners a chance to break in.
The victory yesterday gave the Indians
eleven victories out of the last thirteen
games played, 'which is quite a record
and a worthy comeback.
WASHINGTON PARK NOTES.
Claude Derrick former Indian short
stop. who recently was obtained by the
Toledo Hens, reported to Manager Bres
n&han today and was ready to don a
uniform this afternoon.
Mike Kelly, Hen first saeker. made a
clever play on a throw from Korea in
the seventh yesterday. It was necessary
to take the ball with one band, and Mike
delivered in spectacular fashion. The
ball came between the runner and bag.
but Mike shifted Just right and speared
the pellet, retiring Heniine.
Petty had trouble after two out in both
the fifth and sixth innings. In the fifth
two singles and a double good for two
Hen rues came after two out, aud in the
sixth three singles and an error by Hen
line produced a run after two Hens had
been retired.
Duke Rtlley nearly had three hits for
the dav. In the sixth he crashed one that
struck' Pitcher Brady. The drive would
have gene directly over second had not
Brady been hit.
_ All the Indiana bit safely at least on< e,
except Jimmy Smith.
Rebg was not called ul>ii to disp'ay
his infield ability, not having a chance.
Herb Hunter, obtained from the Red
Sox. has had infield experience ami may
b# given a chance at third base when h?
sets in shape. This may solve the
ribe's big problem, if Hunter can play
third in A. A. style, the Indians will be
set. with the exception f the pitching
staff, which needs one. and possibly two,
additions because of the double-headers
facing the team.
Covington's two htts yesterday were
both doubles. Pitcher Petty got himself
a bit, driving in a run.

Local Racer Added to Field
of Starters at Fair
Grounds.
Bill Derry, an Indianapolis auto speed
artist seeking dirt track fame, today en
tered his Derry Special in the speed
show carded at the fair grounds track
Monday, July 5.
Derry is just breaking into the racing
limelight, making his debut in the game

himself a driver of no small amount of
skill and daring and bids fair to work
his way u pamong the brighter lights
this year.
The Derry Special was built fn a local
automobile factory according to plans
mapped out by Derry and he believes it
will pass any dirt track speed wagon in
this part of the country.
Due to the fact that the fair grounds
track is not yet open to the drivers. O.
M. Jones has been sending-, hi# “four
ninety" Chevrolet through dally rond
tests and is well pleased with the speed
it has been showing.
L. F. Justice is still lookiug for a
driver for his Oakland entry. Several
drivers have signified their willingness
to handle the car but Justice has been
dickering with one In particular that
he hopes to sign this week.
Several new applications for entry
were received by William Feeney, chair
man of the Hoosier Racing association
registration committee, today, and it is
believed that the limited number of
twelve cars will be entered in a few
dßys. Entry blanks may be secured at

The chestnut son of Fairplay ami
Mahuba was held at 1 to 100 against his
lone rival, R. T. Wilson Jr.’s Yellow
Hand, a horse of but ordinary ability,
and it is believed that sets a record
for short price.

occasional glances at bis precious heels.

DOUBT RETURN
OF FRENCHMAN
Fans Believe Carpentier Is
Going Home to Stay.
By HENRY FARRELL,
United Press Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, June 23.—1 t used to be
the well known Chinese puzzle that was
hard to solve.
It used to be n bard task to the equally
well known Philadelphia lawyer. But
the king of all bard guesses is the
French puzzle facing the American fight
fans.
As embodied 'n Francois Descamps and
Georges Carpentier, the French puzile
is a baffler. Since their arrival in the
United States “to udd Jack Dempsey to
their list of victims,” both Frenchmen
huve made so many contradictory state
ments that they huve almost ceased to
be considered.
Ont, of charity and good sportsman
ship Americans uro believing that
through unfamiliarity with the English
language the European champion and bis
manager didn't know what they were
paying when they voiced that frequent
—“we will fight any time."
While the world's champion was await
ing trial the fans bore with Carpentier
nnd considered his invasion of the
studio, the stage aud the circus ling as
a legitimate field for recouping a lost
fortune.
Then came the desire to see Carpen
tier show something for the money that
sport-loving Americans were pouring
into his coffers
Even if it did smell a mouse, the an
nouncement of a fight with lowlnshy
gave the impression that Carpentier was
at least sincere in h!s promises to
fight.
But when the Frenchman called off the
fight and announced hi# parry was re
turning home in July the hands of fan
dom went up
Descauips said they would return in the
fall to fight. But after so many con
flicting stories the fans are allowed to
place any construction on that state
ment they desire.
The lmprfualon right now in eastern
circles is that Carpentier will never re
turn If he gets away this time.
NOT THIS YEAR
NEW ORLEANS, June 23. Georges
Carpentier will not tight Jack Dempsey
this year.
Jack Curley, who is hOre with the
Frenchman, who boxed a Jour round ex
hibition last night, satd that New York,
because of its ni'leen-roYind law. tvoul*
get the fight, if held, and not New Or

comeback when it reaches its home lot.
Charleston, Johnson, B. Taylor, Clark
and other favorites are still with the
team and around these athletes fast
playing by the A. B. C.'s is always
assured.

large following of rooters behind it

this record during its next run of games

THE UNROMANTIC GEORGE.
Hank- Gowdy of the Boston Braves
thinks this a hard world.
Recently he took a day off to get mar
ried.
lie found newly-wedded bliss so de
lightful he overstayed his leave from the
club twenty-four hours, whereupon tbe
hard-boiled and unromantlc George
Stallings fined him SPJ>.
And Hank a war hf ”0, too.
Seriously, it looks like a raw deal from
a birdseye viewpoint.'
MORE power is required to plow
the fields of America than is
used in all its factories.
/
In view of the decrease of man
power on the farms, the importance
of motor-power is demonstrated
easily. With hand labor the time
required to produce a bushel of
wheat was a little over three hours.
With improved machinery this has
been reduced to ten minutes. Power
machinery has multiplied the power
of man eighteen times.
The gasoline engine is the only
power unit embracing all require
ments for farm work.
It looks as though it is up to gaso
line to grub-stake society.
For years hand-labor has been leav- -
ing the farms and motor-power
has been taking its place.
Long ago the Standard Oil Com
pany (Indiana) realized that if
America was to maintain its boun
teous crop production there must
be close cooperation between the
Company and the farmer; there
fore, the Company proceeded to
build up through the farm districts
of the Middle West the most com
plete system of distribution of oil
products in the world.
This delivery system with its 3,780
bulk stations, its 7,000 motor trucks
and tank wagons, its 1,300 Service
Stations, and its personnel of 10,000
trained men, could not be built up
in a month or in a year. It is tiv>
result of long and patient effort.
This immense system for the pro
duction and distribution (.yf gasoline
and other petroleum products is
complete, installed and in full oper
ation now, when it is needed as
never before.

terest is scheduled at Washington park
Saturday afternoon between the Premier

of the greatest amateur battles Indian

Both clubs have been going at a merry
clip MDce tne season opened, with the
Premiers a little "bit the merrier at the
start, but standing in the same place
w iiile tue Marmons picked up more speed.
The Premiers lost their only game this
year to tbe G & J nine and the Mar
mons lost their “only” to the Pre
miers.
The Premiers bolstered considerably
after losing to the Tires and waUoped
'em in the second round. The Marmons
have also strengthened since losing tbit

put the Premier stunt of scoring a sec
ond round win over the team that beat
them in round one.

Brookside park but Owner Smith and
Manager Hendricks have agreed to let
the clubs clash at the Indian ball yard.
