TRIBE HAS BRIGHT CHANCE TO GAIN MORE A. A. GROUND DURING THE TOLEDO SERIEm
Indians enter
HEN CAMP AND
WORRY ROGER
Toledo Fans Howl for Bresna
han to Trip Up Rush
ing: Hoosiers.
WHITEY AGAIN STARS
TOLEDO, June 29.—With the appeaf
ance of the galloping Hoosiers in town
today the Hen fans prepared to witness
the start of a warm series.
Ths Hendricksmen have been coming
so fast of late that the followers of the
local club fear Roger Bresnahan’s gang
will be pulled down in the race and they
are shouting for Roger to do something.
The beating the Indians handed the
Senatprs in Columbus has convinced ev
eryone here that Jack Hendricks is ham
mering his way to the first division and
if not stopped suddenly it is a certainty
that he will take his team to third posi
tion In short order.
The Tribe pilot stated this morning
that he would use Clint Rogge on the
mound in the series opener this after
noon. The Hens defeated Rogge at In
dianapolis recently and the big fellow was
anxious to turn the Hens back today.
The Indians today were only a fraction
of a point back of the Colonels and a
Tribe victory today and a Colonel defeat
will put the Hoosiers in fifth place in the
A. A. race.
If both Indians and Colonels win this
afternoon the club will stand even, be
cause Indianapolis has played fewer
games than Louisville.
WHITEY ALLOWS
ONLY FOUR HITS
COLCMBUS, 0.. June 29. —The Indians
left here last night with four out of five
games hooked to their belts and the Sen
ators were still dizzy today over the
beating they suffered.
Southpaw Whitehouse faced them on
the mound yesterday and the Hoosier
lefty allowed only four hits, winning S
to 2.
The Tribesmen hammered out thirteen
hits and won with eae after they had
got their machine working.
The locals held the Hoosiers even for
the first few innings but the consistent
attack of the Indians soon broke down
the Clymer defense.
The batting streaks of Walter Rehg
of the Indians and Grover Hartley of
the Senators both were broken in the
game. Rehg had hit safely in nineteen
games and Hartley in eighteen.
Columbus fans were amazed at the
great comeback the Indians displayed
here and many predictions have been
made that Jack Hendricks has his ath
letes keyed up to an early invasion of
the first division.

Big League Stuff
The Cincy Reds threw a gloom over
the Cards’ first-place hopes temporarily
yesterday when Pat Moran’s gang won,
7 to 5.
The Cuffs came to life and grabbed
a doable bill from the Pirates. The
ulnnlng marker of the second game
was forced over by a base on baUs.
Mamaux struck out eleven Braves, but
failed to win and the Dodgers floundered
again.
The Giants got twenty hits and eighteen
runs off Philly huriers. George Kelly
crashed a homer with tb bases jammed.
The Athletic came out of their los
ing streak for a day and defeated
Washington. The Mackmen had
dropped eighteen in a row before
turning.
The Tigers again were swamped, the
White Sox winning by a wide margin.
Tbe Cleveland Indians continue to
rnCMp. They trimmed the ambitious
Browns yesterday when .Timmy Burke's
outfit played loose baseball.
Babe Ruth was checked for the day
when his club remained idle aloqg with
the Red Sox.
Jeff Jones, strong batting first base
man of Harvard university, Monday
agreed to play with the Philadelphia
Athletics and will report to Manager
Connie Mack at once.
Admitting the charge that they threw
pop bottles at Umpire Klem during the
Cincinnati-St. Louis National league
baseball game In Cincinnati Saturday,
Joachim Renzegehausen and Fred Roose,
two fans, were fined $25 and costs each,
in police court in Cincinnati yesterday.
The feat of making six hits in six
times at bat in one game, performed in
Philadelphia Monday by Shortstop David
Bancroft of the New York Nationals, has
been equaled In the major league only
once sinee 1502. In 1915 George Cutshaw
of the Brooklyn Nationals succeeded in
hitting the ball safely In six attempts.
Three players equaled the mark in 1902
and nearly a score previous to that time.
The best batting record is seven hits In
seven tries, made in 1592 by Wilbert
Robinson of the Baltimore Nationals,
now manager of the Brooklyn Nationals.
Bets on Two Horses to
Win in Same Race and
Cashes Both Tickets
CHICAGO. June 29. —Max Kronman of
this city has just returned from a va
cation spent at I.atonia.
While there he set a record by betting
on two horses to win in the same race
and cashing both tickets.
It happened like this: Kronman liked
and played Miss Jemina. Then he be
gan to fear Sewell Coombs, and decided
tc protect himself with a show bet.
By mistake Kronman went to a
straight instead of a show mutuel wn
rhlne. and found himself with two tick
ets on different horses to win.
The horses ran a dead beat, whi'h
happens about once a year, and Kron
jnan cashed both tickets.

ONE OF SEASON’S FIZZLES
TWO GLIMPSES OF CARL MAYS.
The signing of Pitcher Carl Mays by
the Yanks last season provoked one of
the biggest baseball wars in history. The
Yank owners went the limit in hiring le
gal talent to fight for Mays He was
figured on to help Babe Ruth and the
other high-priced Yankees win a flag for
New York.
But Mays has failed to show his ex
pected form this season. Hl* failure to
win regularly has been a blow to the
Yanks, although they are fighflng for the
lead despite his failure to come through.
America's Olympic
Stock Given Boost
by College Talent
Work in Collegiate and Ama
teur Games Arouses Mew
Hopes for Victory.
By JACK VKIOCK.
NEW YORK, June 29.—President Gus-
In ter national News Sports Editor.
tavua i iv.io.v and Uie members of the
American Olympic committee are more
optimistic now than evr before that the
American Olympic team will triumph at
Antwerp.
The performances of some of this
country greatest college athletes in re
cent games—the Penn relays and the In
tercollegiate track and field champion
ships—have given the stock of America's
athletes a tremendous boost.
Following the recent Intercollegiate
games President Kirby expressed tho
opinion that an American team made up
entirely of college athletes, would stand
a grand chance of winning the Olympic
games. This was a rather broad state
ment. but it was not made carelessly by
any means.
And when one figures that, in addi
tion to the brilliant track and field stars
now wearing the colors of our many col
leges and universities, we have a host of
amateur athletic club stars of the caliber
of Joie Ray Loren Murchison, Matt Mc-
Grath Pat Ryan and a host of others it
is easy to see why the members of the
Olympic committee are wearing satisfied
smiles.
CRACK MEN CROP
OK SPRINTERS.
Our newest crop of sprinters, such as
Kirksey of Leiand Stanford, Paddock of
California. Scholz of Missouri, Leconeym
of Lafayette, Wells of Stanford, Gourdln
of Harvard. Dewitt of Rutgers and a
number of others, will fairly burn up the
track in the 100 and 220 dash events
against the tyetit men now affiliated
with the country's great athletic clubs:
men of the caliber of Willie Hayes of
Boston and Hank Williams of Spokane
It E. Brown, winner of the 100 and 220
dashes in the recent intercollegiate
games, will not be enabled to compete
In the Olympic tryouts because of going
to England with the Tiger team for the
meet with Oxford and Cambridge.
In the middle-distance events Joie
Rav is expected to stand out promi
nently in the final trials at Cambridge.
But despite the apparent edge held by
Ray over a field of brilliant collegiate
rivals, he will find opposition stiff
enough to spur him on to new records,
with such performers as Earl Eby Max
am and Gustafson, of Penn.; Driscoll,
of Boston; Mayer, of Cornell; Spoot, of
California, and many ethers.
Thp college men have an apparent
edge in the hurdles both high and low.
It is to be regretted, however, that Earl
Thompson, the brilliant Canadian lad
who curried (he colors of Dartmouth to
victory and established anew world s
record of 14 2-5 seconds In the high
hurdles at the Intercollegiate*. cannot
compete with the American team.
However,, in Smith, of Cornell: Erd
man, of Princeton; Johnson, of Michi
gan; Kelly, of New York; Sylvester, of
Missouri; Wells of Leiand Stanford;
Watt, of Cornell; Ellis, of Syracuse, and
a number of other stars, our timber
toppers will surely be able to do some
thing in the point-winning line when
thev get to Antwerp though they will
probably find Thompson wearing Cana
da's colors, just as swift as ever in
straddling the wood.
DISTANCE TALENT
IS HIGH CLASS.
The long-distance races, with such
runners as Faller, of Dorchester, Mass.;
Pores, of New York: Simmons, of Syra
cuse; Dresser former Cornell and ex
coliegiufe champion; H. H. Brown, of
Williams: MacMahon, of M. I. T. and
Komig, of Penn. State, not to mention
a host of western distance men, will de
velop some great competition in the
trials at Cambridge.
That America will be strong in both
the weights and Jumps is a certainty.
Smart, of Chicago; Landers, of Penn.;
Gourdln, of Harvard ; Templeton, of Le
iand Stanford; Merchant of California,
and Way, of Penn. State will be strong
contenders in the broad jump.
In the high Jump London, of Yale;
Templeton and Ramsay, of Cornell;
Murphy, of the Multnomah A. C.; Rich
ards. of Utah; Whalen, of Boston; Lar
sen. of Utah and Lathrop of Cornell,
will probably be jumping like grey
hounds within a few more w/eeks; and
Landon who cleared 6 feet 4 inches for
anew collegiate record at Philadelphia
in the recent games, is expected to bet
ter that mark.
Landers, of Penn.; Harwood, of Har
vard; Jordan, of Dartmouth; Frank
Foss, of Chicago; Peterson, of Califor
nia and many others will compete in
the pole vault this month. ’ That new
Amerieau records will be made when the
final games are staged at Cambridge is
predicted by a majority of the athletic
sharps.
GOLF LEADER INJURED.
NEWARK, W., June 29. —William
Burke, golf club 1 manufacturer of Newark
and widely known throughout the coun
try among golfers, was badly hurt and
Mrs. Burke, his vpife, was killed In an
automobile accident near here last night.
Mr. Burke's condition is serious.

Lavlgne, Gans and Nelson.
Leach Cross says that Leonard is bet
ter than Gana ever was.
Johnny get off the wheel.
Look at Leonard* record. Would
Freddie Welsh, old and out of condi
tion, have stuck nine rounds with Joe
Gans as he did with Benna?
Would Gans have to fight Dundee fifty
six times before he knocked him out?
Could Willie Ritchie last over seven
rounds with the Old Master?
Benna is a swell little fighter, but don't
•tart comparisons. Leach.
Look at the birds C.sns knocked out,
and then look at what's been fighting In
that class for the last five or six years.
Cheese it, my lip’s cracked. Don't say

ECHOES OF DEMPSEY’S TRIAL.
The following clipping from a Pan
Francisco paper was sent to us by Tom
my Lynch, who was much interested In
Champion Dempsey's case:
Mrs. Celia Dempsey. Jack Dempsey's
mother -little, whltehalrcd, bent, wrin
kled with age, gnarled by life and tem
pered by sorrow so that the lines of
her suffering showed in her face, fine
tooled by emotion, took the stand. Out
of the nausea engendered by the taste
of other things her coming was wel
come.
The biggest dramas of life are its sim
plicities. Mrs. Dempsey was utterly sim
ple. She had no studied art, no part to
play, no role to enact. She was Jack
Dempsey’s mother. Her boy was in dan
ger. All through the case, while the
fabric of the prosecution had been built
against him, she sat with fingers that
twisted incessantly and eyes that burned.
She wanted to speak. Now that her
turn to speak had come her voice fal
tered with sheer fear that she would not
be able to do her best.
"A good boy? Certainly, Jack was a
good boy. Since he was 14 years of age,
awny back in the years, he bad worked,
and worked hard." There was a moth
er’s pride in the way she Bald it that
went home with the Jury. The family was
poor— had always been poor and It had
been a struggle. There were many chil
dren. In 1917 and 1918—war years—the
struggle had been particularly hard. They
could not have managed, she said, bad
not Jack sent them money.
"We wouldn't have had anything," she
said, and it was left to imagination to
determine Just how little they did have.
Bit by bit, in her trembling voice, Mrs.
Dempsey built up a structure of history
behind the case. No one bared to tear
it down. No one doubted its authentic
ity. Some of the biggest legal battles
In the world have been lost because of
something like that—simple, little old
woman telling what she believes with her
soul is the truth and carrying the con
viction over as can nothing else.
On Jack’s shoulders fell the burden
of his family, said Mrs. Dempsey. Other
brothers had married and had families,
and they had their own burdens. He
had taken cure of the “old folks"—of
“mumsey” and "dad,” as he calls them.
How well he did this, she declared with
pride, was shown in the fact that In two
years he had bought two houses for her
and had given the family $37,000 —this
world's champion whom the government
asserts lied when he said he had de
pendents.
Local Poloists at Dayton

AFTER HONORS.

was expected to enter for the junior fight
today and his coming will throw a shad
ow on the bright prospects of Petrovisky
and Orme, as his work on the courts is

brother.

school net laurels in a recent tourney

year than he did in the boys' class in
1919, when he went to. the late rounds.
