TAILENDERS GROW CONFIDENT AND PROMISE TO GIVE HOOSIERS PLENTY OF OPPOSITION
BLUES TRYING
TO PUT SKIDS
UNDER INDIANS
Tribe Sees Big Task on Hands
as Kansas City Series
Opens.
KANSAS CITY, July 7—. Tack Hen
dricks' Indians are not expecting an
easy series with the Blues, even though
the local team Is occupying the cellar
position, and the opener today promise!
to bring out plenty of baseball.
The Blues, under new management,
have been bolstering to some extent, and
they are hopeful of winning this series.
In an effort to convince home fans that
they are not definitely booked for last
place.
Owner Muehlbach and Manager Knabe
have been working on deals and plans
with a determination in view of getting
out of the cellar, and they hove indi
cated that the team is about ready to
break loose In ? comeback effort.
The Blues succeeded In trimming the
Brewers twice Monday, and the double
victory has resulted in a spark of the
old enthusiasm showing among the K.
C. fans.
However, the Hoosiers are desperate
at the present time, because this seems
to be tne opportune series for them to
use in climbing into the first division,
and for that reason they mean to bat
tle their best for the chance to get up
among the contenders.
Charlie Whitehouse was slated to per
form on the mound for Hendricks today,
and the young southpaw was expected
to deliver if his control was good.
Around the A. A.
WITH nDDIE ASH-
The day of rest in the A. A. yesterday
permitted the managers of Indians,
Colonels and Senators, the teams In a
triple tie for fifth place, to scheme for
some means to break the deadlock.
It's an open season for deadlocks and
Managers Hendricks, McCarthy and Cly
mer are entitled to show their political
ability.
All Hendricks wants now is a little
aid from the Kansas City delegation.
There's one A. A. team that Is not in
a deadlock, however. It is the Saints,
who have a hammerlock on first place,
Included among the good points of
Presidential Nominee Cox is the fact
that he Is a baseball fan and frequently
attends games in Co'.umbns.
Duke Rellley hasn't been interviewed
regarding his opinion on the outcome of
the democratic convention, but it can be
stated authoritatively that Duke will
support Cox.
Evidently holidays are made for Jack
Hendricks’ Indians. They won both
games Decoration day and then grabbed
two Independence day.
Perhaps some think it unusual that
Babe Ruth didn't’ get in on the demo
cratic race, but the Babe doesn't neeu
the presidency to get himself prestige.
He is too valuable with the bat to oc
cupy the whitehouse chair.
One good point about Louie Wolf,
Tribe utility infielder, is that he is al
ways in shape for any emergency. He
doesa"t get hurt easily. Louie formerly
played footbal! and Is a past master In
shaking off Injuries.
Covington's slowness In recovering
from a sprain is a handicap to the
Tribe at Kansas City, because the K. C.
right field fence is short, and Tex usu
ally hits in that direction.
Indianapolis fans would like to see
Kansas City pull up In the race, but
desire that the club postpone any drives
until the Indians leave those parts.
Jack Hendricks will have some good
trading material when his cripples re
cover, and there is a possibility of one
of the extra lnflelders being used in a
deal for a pitcher.
GREATEST HE EVER SAW.
New York. July 7.
Nate Lewis, who has been with and
around fighters since the day that the
Smith brothers first had their whiskers
trimmed, pickers Terry McGovern as the
greatest fighter he ever saw
“I knew a lot of great fighters." said
Nate, "but there's that old McGovern
looming up before me all the time. I
try to think of tough guys, vicious guys,
aggressive guys, hard guys and suc
cessful guys, and there's always McGov
ern before me. He was without doubt
the greatest crowd pleaser the ring ever
knew He had everything a fight crowd
den uds.
"People love fighters in the ring the
same as they love hitters on the dia
mond. They want to see results. They
want knockouts and home rune.
"McGovern gave them the knockouts.
Whenever he was tumbled tii4y knew
he'd be up again. Yes, I must say that
he was a marvel. A wonderful record
he bad. A record that's hard to beat.
“Who were my ‘great fighters?’
“Oh, I should say that Joe Gans and
Abe Attell were about the next best.
They were real artists In their line. Not
so aggressive as McGovern, of course,
but wonderful rlngmen."
TIA JUANA TO OPEN AGAIN.
Although the opening date for the next
Tia Juana meeting has not been settled
on, the tentative day will probably be
Thanksgiving. The success that Coffroth
has enjoyed this season, which was won
derful considering the short prepara
tion, has spurred him on to make Tia
Janan next winter the largest winter
racing game in the United States.
He intends giving a fortune away in
purse money, with the Business Men's
Handicap, having a valuation of SIO,OOO
attached to it, his “main event." The
Monte Carlo will be worth $5,000, while
the Frank B. Beyer Handicap will be
raised to $2,500. In addition to these
stakes, the usual fixtures, such as the
Openiug Handicap, Dupee Plate, Coron
ado Selling Stakes, Spreckles Handicap
and others will be run, while $1,500
overnight handicaps will be plentiful.
CANADA CAL’S CHIRPS.
"Pop" Korn, who owns a cotton plan
tation, wants to know how he should
treat the boll weevil, which is destroying
his cotton. We don't see why he should
treat it at all, since it’s an enemy. But,
if he must treat it we would recommend
giving it a drink of near beer. The boll
weevil will leave and never return.

Regarding Tilden and
Victory Over Patterson
Some dispatches from England con
cerning the tennis tournament at Wim
bledon, which was won recently by Wil
liam T. Tilden 11, referred merely to
the “British championship," omitting
mention of the fact that Gerald Patter
son’s victory in this same event last sea
son carried with it the title of “world's
champion.”
It may be that the refusal of the
United States thus far to Join the inter
national federation abroad prevents the
award of this honor to an American, for
it is one of the constitutional articles of
the European organization that Wimble
don shall stage the annual competition
for the world's title.
But whatever the technicalities of the
esse may be, the fact rema ns that Til
den has now twice defeated Patterson,
once in America and again in the chal
lenge ronnd at Wimbledon.
Whatever real or theoretical title be
longed last year to the Australian U
now Tilden's by every law of the game,
and be mast, therefore, be recognized,
for 1920 at leant, as the world's tennis
champion.
Cubans Coming for
Second 1920 Clash
With Taylor’s Team
The Cuban Stars will make their sec
ond visit of the season here Sunday
when they come to Washington park to
meet Taylor’s A. B. C.'s in a double
header.
The Cubans have bolstered their
lineup since their previous visit here
and are sure to give the A. B. C.'a
plenty of opposition.
Manager Taylor will keep hla men
working the remainder of the week in
order to be prepared for the Cubans.
The rain yesterday afternoon robbed
the A. B. C.'a of a chance to even up
the series with the Detroit Stars, and
thev are anxious to get busy and win
the* majority of games from the Cubans.
The first game Sunday will be called
at 2 o'clock.
WHITE DESERVES
ANOTHER CHANCE
BENTON HARBOR, Mich., July 7.
Charlie White, conquered in the ninth
round Monday by Benny Leonard via the
knockout route, has more admirers of his
dghtlng ability today than wnen he
climbed through the ropes to face a
champion with the calm assurance of a
challenger who had great confidence in
ais prowess and condition.
Charlie did well, indeed, much better
than most fans expected, and lost when
caught napping with a punch that would
have had the same effect on most any
fighter, including welters and middle
weights.
White won many friends with his
dazzling performance for eight rounds,
and he will be a better attraction around
Chicago now than ever.
The knowledge that he had Leonard
on the run In three rounds and had him
weak and stalling while taking a thres
count sitting outside the ropes in the
fifth round, will make another meeting al
most a sure thing, either here or in the
east.
Charlie wants a return whirl and
Benny probably will not object when
the promoters start offering them fancy
sums to try it again.
Criticism of White’s seconds for not
claiming the scrap on a foul In the fifth
round because Charlie Leonard left
Benny’s corner to lift him hack Into the
ring is wasted. Referee Ed Smith says
he would not have disqualified the cham
pion for such a technical and trivial vio
lation of the rules. That settles it.
Still, White could have caused a lovely
mixup by quitting evea If disqualified
himself for so doing when the arbiter or
dered him to go on fighting. Another
meeting then would be Inevitable, and
Charlie would be able to ask for better
terms than a title holder usually con
cedes to a rival.
Some of the White adherents are re
gretting now that such a move was not
made. The knockout Is the chief reason
for such a line <■! talk, however. The
referee did not disqualify Leonard aud
Charlie wpnt on fighting gamely to the
last, just as he should have done. Per
haps he thought he could win by a
knockout himself. Many of the fans felt
the same way about it for several rounds
Then Charlie may have though fast
enough In the crisis to realize that
to quit the ring claiming a foul
which would not be allowed would
not get him the championship any
way. Johnny Ertle tried to become
champion that way when fouled by
Johnnv Williams, but could not get away
with It.
Leonard was not himself and prob
ably never will be caught that way
again. He was worried and along in
the fourth and fifth rounds was so
winded he gasped for breatn.
When he was taking the three count he
kept saying to Referee Smith: “I'm all
right and can get up." But he was fouled
In the ropes and might not have ex
tricated himself without the aid of
his brother.
It's too bad that Charlie Leonard butted
into the parade in this situation, but bis
Interference did not warrant tbs switch
ing of the world’s championship to Chi
cago. Leonard, while stung with the left
hook that knocked him into the ropes,
was not in serious distress, as later events
indicated.

THOSE ENGLISH HEAVIES.
Wilton Lackaye, the anti-English can
didate for president of the Actors’- Equity
association, is Just as big a fight bug as
he is a ball fan. The other night he was
talking about England and her great
heavyweights and pulled the following
yarn told him by an old-timer concerning
the great John L. Sullivan.
“Sullivan, the idol of the American
public, visited England while he was
champion of the world and made quite n
good impression. He was wined and
dined and introduced to the ’4OO. every
where. John, very proud of his title and
his prowess, figured that it was a treat
for these people to meet him, and felt
the same way when he was introduced to
the Prince of Wales.
"He despised the English heavies, and
looked upon them as pugilistic ninepins.
"One day he was shown an article in a
New York paper which slipped over quite
a roast about him. John L. was very
sore. He paced the floor, thinking of
America. He bit bis lips and kept on
walking. Sullivan was a very pcoud man,
you know.
“Finally he turned around to the friend
who showed him the clipping, his face
jicarlet with rage. Shaking his big fist,
he growled: ‘Say, you know what I
ought to do? I ought to let one of these
English dubs knork me out and see how
America would feel about it then.’ "
ONE BAD APPLE SPOILS A BOX.
There’s an old saying which runs: “One
bad apple will spoil a box.” The bird
that wrote that said a cartful. Look at
our Yanks. They were nice, home-loving
boys before tha" Ruth hoodlum got Into
the layout. He's the bad apple In the
Yankee box.
Home runs were as scarce as Scotch
highballs until Ruth Joined the gang.
Look at ’em now, sergeant! Look at
’em now!
Up to date they’ve made forty home
runs, and it’s early in July.
Within the last week or so the follow
ing birds have pickled the old apple for
homers: Quinn, Ueekiripaugh, Rues. Han
nah. Pratt, Bodie and Meusel. No use
mentioning Babe.

Men, women and boys were scheduled
to scrap for state and city tennis laurels
on Indianapolis courts today.
The men’s contingent Is formed of
those racqnet swingers who, halted by
rain yesterday afternoon, were to re
sume play In the annual city champion
ships on the Hawthorn courts.
The schedule mapped out for yester
day was to hold good today and thla aft
ernoon's matches were expected to mark
the opening of a number of Important
contests despite the fact that the tourney
Is still In Its Infancy.
RECORD LIST OF
WOMEN PLAYERS,
Speaking of women, nlcteen of ’em
were to swing Into action in the annual
city women’s tournament on the Haw
thorn courts this afternoon, the first
matches being carded at 3 o'clock.
Asa proof that tennis is booming
among Indianapolis women as well as
among the men, the registration com
mittee offer* an entry list almost double
the size of last year’s as convincing evi
dence.
in former years s list of ten women
was considered good enough, but this
year there are nineteen In Une for battle,
and probably would have been more If
last week s weather conditions were any
thing like they should be to arouse ten
nis pep.
As In the boys’ and junior tourney,
most of the entrant* In the women's
tourney are newcomers and the pros
pects of some snappy tennis are good.

The Indianapolis Specials had a bit
of tough luck at Morgantown Monday,
tional boys’ tournament. This trip means
a whole lot to the youngsters and they
were expected to stage a mighty Interest
ing scrap today.
Either of them was considered having
a chance to win the match. They have
both been playing a clever game during
the tourney, winning their elimination
round matches, without a lot of trouble.
In their ’'friendly" matches their stand
ing Is, just about even.
Dixon went into the finals yesterday
when he surprised the crowd and defeat
ed Julius Sagalowsky, favorite to win
the boys' laurels, 7-6, 6-3, 9-7. Their
match was easily the best that has been
played In the tourney and both boys were
.applauded for their clever work on sev
eral different occasions.
Little “Sag" plays good tennis for his
size and age and he kept Guy humping
for a while yesterday afternoon, but the
latter was out to win and his speed and
hard driving finally wore down his op
ponent.
Davidson defeated Huesslng, 6-4, 0-4,
6-2, to open the door for his entry Into
the finals The winner had the ad
vantage all through the match.
ANKENBROCK BINS
EXPERTS’ PRAISE.
Henry Ankenbrock did Just whst
everybody thought he would do yester
day, when he defeated Paul Horan. 6-3,
3-6. 6-3, 6-1, to enter the finals of the
Junior tourney. "Ankle” Is playing In

minute he stepped on the I. T. A. courts
for his first round match, Hence Orme,
Sr., and the other old-timers around the
courts saw class sticking out all over
him und they made a few predictions,
which were fulfilled yesterday when he
won hi* semi-final round match.
Ankenbrock was to take things easy to
day while Hence Orme, Jr., and Milton
Pctrovltsky fought their semi-final
round battle at Hawthorn. This match,
by the way, was expected to be a corker.
Orme, 1019 boys’ champ, and Petrovltsky,
1919 Junior champ. Rre recognized as two
of the leading Juniors of the state and
the dope output today was almost evenly
