KELLEY’S MEN
TO JSPEED UP
Two Defeats in Two Days
Cause Leaders to Feel
Somewhat Worried.
HOOSIERS HIT TIMELY
ST. PAUL, July 17.—The Indians had
all the earmarks of a bunch of "newsies'
about to set sail on their anuuni picnic
as the hour for their third clash with
Kelley's Saintless Saints arrived today.
The Hoosiers were eager for battle, hav
ing all the confidence in the world in
their ability to take the locals down the
line for-the third consecutive time.
KELLEY S CREW
FEELING BAI>.
On the other hand. Manager Kelley and
his athletes were one bewildered crew.
If the association leaders were anyway
taken back by their series-opener defeat
Thursday afternoon, they were put in
the cooler yesterday when the Hoosiers
came back and decorated them with an
other K. O. wallop, finishing the battle
with a 5-to-4 lead.
Fighting stuff was sticking out all
over the two clubs today and a rec9rd
crowd was expected to gather at the

- I
park to see just what sort of punch the
Indians are packing iu their persons
these days.
The Indians have warmed up to their
work and are showing no signs of fear
for the "championship" nine. Manager
Hendricks was all smiles and urging his
warriors on in their ruthless attack.
It looked as though the Tribe boss
would have to toss a coin to pick his
twirier. Jones, who jumped in as a re
lief pitcher for Cavet yesterday and
joilled his club out of the fire iu great
style, was ready and willing to start.
Charlie Wbltehouse. offering his last
start victory over Milwaukee as creden
tials. was asking for the Job. and Gold-
Mi:' , h. fresh from the Brooklyn Dodgers,
would ask" nothing better than a crack
, 'he big guns of the association.
>.\’.;s RUSHES
TO ( WET’S AID.
There v.ere moments yesterday when
i he Indians bad visions of losing a game
tint was already won, but Pits-her Jones
- ii ved Cavet at the opportune time and
fh-> Saints on the down grade.
Hendricks' clan opened the scrap with
* brace of runs and came bark for the
value number iu the third round.
. ciiio r 'ide counted again until the
. tenth, when the Indians tallied one
. nd Nt. Paul checked twice.
In tile eighth, ttie Saints found Caret's
curves and started pounding the ball
.• iue kind ot hits that win games, but
wheu they were in the midst of their
i.iily Pug made room for Jones, and
•* fun for the locals was over.
There were two men on base, none out
sihi one runner borne when Jones took
up the mound duty. Dressen. the first
iuaa to face Jones, drove a long fly to
~-wiling in right field, scoring Boone.
Jinas whiffed and Miller lilt to Schreiber,
tore !ng Duncan at second.
Hargrave opened the St. Paul ninth
wn a liner to Kehg's stamping ground
and went to second on Rapp's sacri
fice.
Berghaiumer sent anotlier liner to
Rehg s position and Walter picked it off
with a clever catch.
Boone fanned, but started for first when
he thought Henliuc dropped the ball.
The Indian catcher started out, hot on
Boone's heels for a few yards, until he
realized that hr had not dropped the bail.
Umpire Finneran then waved Boone off
the sack and the game was over.
It was a gripping finish for Manager
Hendricks in the Tribe angout.
Around the A. A.
WITH EDDIE ASH
Wouldn’t it be warm spuds if the In
diana took four straight But Coutube
was slated to pitch for St. Paul today
and he has one puzzling southpaw.
Henline again displayed his hitting
powers to St. Paul folk when he doubled
with the bases populated, scoring two.
Three St. Paul pitchers felt the
pain of the Indian scalping knife.
Rehg tripled to right, with two out.
In the seventh and came home on Zwil
ling’s single.
Covington picked off a double In the
fifth, but was left on third.
Hitting the ball seems to be the best
little thing the Indians can do these days.
Following yesterday’s runfest with
Toledo, the Milwaukee Brewers are
ready to qualify for the Olympic
marathon.
Kirkbam took six trips to the plate
for the Brewers and got two singles, a
double, triple and home run. Hauser
also took a circuit trip. Butler got six
hits out of six times up, which is an
achiement seldom seem in baseball.
Wright had rhe better of Robertson In
a pretty battle among pitchers and
Louisville beat Minneapolis. President
Hickey was there to see how it was
done.
Kansas City stopped a Columbus rally
and staged one all their own to win.
CLANCY VS. FITZ.

I EASY SAILING.
I Hennessey had little trouble in reach
ing the final round yesterday, defeating
Boh Bastian, 7-5, C-2, 6-2, while Star
: hnek was forced through five sets t* win
from Cox, 5-7, 6-2, 6-3 4-6, 6-3. but the
fans expected to see a fitting final round
scrap when these two met this after
noon.
Starbuck is showing a wonderful Im
provement In his play this season. His
height and long reach offer him a world
of chances to play a great net game and <
he can be found firing the ball back from
the close range at every opportunity.
Hennessey’s admirers had no fear for
the outcome of the scrap, however.
Johnny Is also lilttlng the high spots
this season, showing more stuff than
ever before, aud It was believed that ha
would come through with fiying colors.
OLD KIVALK FOR
WOMEN’S HONORS.
Mrs. Adams nnd Mrs. Pugh, court,
rivals, were In great shape for their
match, which was down in the minds of
the net enthusiasts as one of the best
ever.
Mrs. Pugh. 1919 women's champ, was
a slight favorite to take today's honors,
although It was felt that Mrs. Adams
would force her to the limit.
As for the doubles match. Hennessey
and Trask looked like easy winner* over
the Kohn-Bastian duo. Hennessey has;
eliminated both Bastian and Kotin In the,
singles play and teaming with "Teacher" j

SANDY HOOK, N. J., July 17.—The
weather this moruing for the second of
the American cup series vras so fine as
to cause the faintest ripple on the waters.
While it was expected to freshen later,
nothing boisterous In the way of a blow
was In sight and the sky suggested
gentle zephyrs that would provide pleas
fint sailing, but no thrill, more’s the pity.
The two boats were pronounced “A-l”
for today’s contest and it seemed safe
to state that, barring accidents, the race
would see Resolute a winner on time al
lowance If not first over the line.
This being so,-It will give each boat a
win and mean* that at least four races
will have to be sailed in order to decide
the best three out of five.
I dropped In on Sir Thomas Llpton

sense, for a descended in my seaplane

MEEHAN LOSES CHANCE
By CHARLES E. PARKER,
International News Staff Correspondent-.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 17.—With a
capacity crowd, drawn from all sections
of the country, cramming all available
space at the Harvard stadium, the final
events in the Olympic tryout meet were
to be staged today. Weather condi
tions were ideal.
But few upsets marked the preliminary
events yesterday. The failure of Meehan
of Meadowbrook club, Philadelphia, to
qualify In the half-mile run; the elimina
tion of Harold Lever of Pennsylvania
from the 100-yard dash aud the shutting'
out of Boh Maxam, another Pennsylva
nian, in the trials of the quarter-mile
dash proved the chief disappointments,
but all were more than made up for in
the surprising accomplishments of txvo
supposedly broken champions, who evi-.
denced a surprising return to form and
were appearing today in the finals of
their respective events.
BOTH VETS
DO COMEBACK.
The two are Ted Meredith of the New-
York Athletic club, one-time unbeatable--
middle distance star and holder of throe
world’s records, aud Howard Drew of
Drake university, one time king o£-
sprinters and Joint possessor of the ex
isting records in the century and fur--
long sprints.
Ted Meredith, by a display of Infinite
gameness, not only qualified, but won his
heat In the 440-yard dash trials and gave
every indication of forcing issues with
his competitors in the final event today,
while Howard Drew, although not a win
ner of the 100-yard and 200-yard heats,,
finished second iq both and gave evidence
of a surprising return to his
form.
Three new records were established In
the Junior championship events Friday. _
Louis A. Watson. Jumping 6 feet 2
ipches, beat the old mark of 6 feet 1 inch.
In the discus throw, William A. Bart
lett, unattached, with a heave of 136 feet
% inch, beat the former record by over
seven feet, while In the hop. step and
jump Koffman Gelst of the Young Men’s
Hebrew association of New York leaped
46 feet 7% Inches for anew junior mark.
In the other events the racing was
close and contained many exciting fin
ishes, although no track records were
set.
