INDIANS MOVE UP GRADUALLY AS TEAM CONTINUES FAST PACE OF RECENT COMEBACKDRIt
TRIBE BOOSTS
PEESTIGE OVER
THE WEEK-END
Only* Game Lost to Senators Is
Ten-Inning Affair—Two
Victories Scored.
REHG STILL HITTING
COLUMBUS, 0., June 2S.—Winning
two out of three over the week-end was
a happy achievement of Jack Hendricks'
Indians in their battles here with the
Senators.
After taking Saturday’s fray, 5 to 3,
with Jess Petty pitching, the Hooslers
came right back Sunday and won the
opening game of the double bill, 11 to 2,
and then were beaten out in the second
battle, 2 to 1, In ten innings.
The Tribesmen were loud in their crit
icism of Umpire Shannon s decision at
second base in the tenth that gave the lo
cals their chance to put over the win
ning run and many fans were of the
opinion that the field umpire "booted”
the play in favor of the home team.
Schrelber was trying a double play at
the time after getting the man coining
from first and In his attempt to make a
hurried throw he dropped the ball. The
Indians claimed the out at second had
been made, but Umpire Shannon refused
to allow it and then a single by Bescher
followed and the game was over.
It was a tough loss for Cavet, but he
Is rather accustomed to pitching the
tough ones for the Indians. Paul Jones
hurled the opener and he won it without
trying because the Indians hit like wild
men.
Walter Rehg hit safely in both games,
making nineteen consecutive games in
which he has bit safely one or more
times. Grover Hartley of the Senators
is right behind Rehg in this respect,
having hit safely in seventeen consecutive
games.
The Hoosiers are holding sixth place
by a hair, having displaced the Senators
Saturday and if they can keep going
at their recent speed it won't be long
until they move up one or two more
notches in the standing.
The final game of the series here was
curded this afternoon with Whitehouse
slated for Tribe mound duty. The In
dians will move to Toledo tonight, open
ing a series with the Hens there tomor
row.

A. B. C.’s and Foster’s
Nine Tangle in Third
Game of Series Here
Rube Foster's American Giants were
out after the scalps of the A. B. C.’s to
day and a hotly contested game was ex
pected to be staged at Washington park
this afternoon.
Johnson or Dismukes was slated to
perform on the mound for C. I. Tay
lor's club. The A. B. C.'s were sparkling
with confidence today as- a result of
their success yesterday In defeating
Foster’s famous team. 1 to 0. in ten in
nings and holding the visitors to a tie.
2 to 2. in a five-inning second contest.
Pitcher Rile was the big hero of the
day when he hurled both games for
the A. B. C.'s. He hooked up in a
mound battle with Southpaw Browne in
the opening game, and by cautious tac
tics he finally won, the only marker of
the game coming in on his own Infield
drive.
DeMoss and Torrienti, American Giants
stars, were as daring as ever on the
bases, and It took great work to keep
them from scoring. Torrtenti was passed
four times when danger threatened, and
the A. B. C. strategy worked each time.
Manager C. I. Taylor tried hard to
break up the game In the ninth, when
he batted for Jeffries, but after slamming
a line foul to left he popped up.
In the second game only a little hard
luck prevented the locals from winning,
but the 8,000 fans present were satisfied
with the day’s result and went away
cheering the A. B. C.’s.

FOR HENNESSEY
Victory Over Bastian Draws
Praise From Fans.
JUNIOR CHAMP GOING EAST.
Jack McKay, a member of tho com
mittee in charge of the Indiana hoys
and junior net tourney, carded to
open on the I. T. A. courts Wednes
day, received word from the board of
directors of the N. L. T. A. today,
stating that the junior champion of
this district will, as usual, be en
tered in the national junior cham
pionships at Forest Hills, N. Y. The
national tourney will open in August.
Asa crowning point to Ills excellent
work in playing through the annual
Woodstock invitational tournament with
out losing a single set. Johnny Hennessey
defeated Fritz Bastian yesterday, 0-4, 0-3,
6-2, In the challenge round on the Wood
stock courts. Bastian was the 1919
champion.
The Woodstock tournament brought
Hennessey in tournament action before
local fans for the first time this season
and those who kept close tab on his play
throughout the meet predict that he will
go better this season than ever before.
NO REST
FOR FRITZ.
Using a mixture of well-placed lobs
and hard-driven ground strikes, Johnny
kept Fritz humming all over the court
in their three sets and the rangy south
paw seldom had a chance to get down
to business.
Johnny had n bit of that old nervous
ness that always seems to bother him
when he opposes Bastian in the first
set, letting Fritz grab a 4-2 lead before
be hit his true stride, then it was cur
tains for the Indiana university captain.
Hennessey threv caution to the winds
and tore in. His play seemed a bit
reckless, but ids shots were all wel!
placed and they brought him the next
four games and the set.
1919 CHAMP
SLOWS UP.
Each player won his serve up to the
3-2 stage of the second stage. Hennessey
then copped Uastian's serve and took
the seventh on his own hook. Bastian
won his serve and Hennessey did like
wise. taking a 6-3 win.
Bastian's hard work in the first two
sets began to tell on him in the final
stanza, while nennessey seemed to grow
stronger as play progressed. Conse
quently Bastian fell a victim to his op
ponent's smashing drives.
Hennessey won the right to meet Bas
tian In the challenge round by defeating
Charlie Trask. 6-1, 9-7, in their final
round battle Saturday afternoon.
Trask was not exactly up to form in
the first set and dropped it without be
ing able to offer bis pupil the ■lightest
opposition, but he came hack in whirl
wind fashion in the second set and made
Johnnie spill a bit of speed before the
victory was won.
BOYS AND JUNIOR
TOURSEY PLANS
For the most part, the faees in the 1920
Indiana boys and junior tennis cham
pionship tourney, which is to open on
the Indianapolis Tennis association's
courts Wednesday afternoon, will be new
to Indianapolis net fans.
Entries are now pouring in from all
points in the state and the fact that
most of the lads heard from at this time
are strangers in the boy and Junior
world gives evidence that new talent is
being turned out on Indiana court*.
Hence Orrue, chairman of the tourna
ment committee of the City Tennis
association. Is especially anxious to see
the state boys and Juniors represented
In this year's tourney. Heretofore it
has been an Indianapolis tourney more
than an event for state honors, but spe
rial attractions have been arranged for
the out-of-town youngsters tbts time
and those entering will be guaranteed a
good time, both on and off the courts.
Entries are now being received at the
sport departments of the Times, News
and Star.

Saturday afternoon, thereby copping the
lead in the Motor loop. All went well
with the Marrnons until the seventh in
ning, at which time they held a 3 to 2
lead, hut In that fatal round their balloon
slipped away for a chat with the clouds
and came near not coming back. The
Gaalema followers took advantage of the
situation to stack up three runs and win
the game. Certain members of the Mar
mon infield were hundcuffed enough to
be taken to jail. Elmer Brown, on the
mound for the Premiers, xvas in form and
was stingy with hits.
The Wheelers performed according to
schedule, dropping their contest with the

in Midwest Meet at
Chicago.

of having a representative in the Olym
pic games as a result of the perform
ance of Lawrence Butler, former Short
ridge star, in the 440-yard dash of the

Olympic finals at Cambridge. Mass.,

delphia, Edxvard Meehan of Notre Dame

Rotarian and Kiwanis
Nines Primed for Battle
The Rotary and Kiwanis ball tossers
will tangle for "blood” and charity on
the Washington park diamond Thursday
afternoon.
A strong but friendly rix-alry exists
between the txvo clubs and when they
decided to engage in a baseball war there
were so many persons interested in the
outcome of the battle that they did a
little more deciding and figured the
Fresh Air Mission and Boy Scouts in
on a 50-50 split of the proceeds.
Both clubs have been practicing on
the municipal diamonds for the past
two weeks, and the respective managers
,are both spilling dope on how easy it is
going to be for their club to win.
Mayor Charles W. Jewett will play the
, short field for the Kiwanis, and he says
Jt will be worth the price of admission
to see him stop everything that comes
“within two miles" &f the diamond.
