CRACK ST. PAUL CLUB FOLLOWS MILWAUKEE TEAM ON THE WASHINGTON PARK PROGRAM
LEADERS COME
AFTER BREWER
WINDUP GAME
Scrappy Saints Here To
morrow for Series With
the Hendricksmen.
ONE-RUN DEFEAT AGAIN
The Saints are coming tomorrow.
Mike Kelley’s gang of scrappy leaders
is due to open a series at the Tribe lot
following the departure of the Brewers,
who appeared for their fourth and last
game today.
Indian fans are glad the Milwaukee
outfit is leaving the city because it is
evidently a Tribe jinx.
Egan's athletes won again yesterday,
5 to 4, making it three straight in the
series, but Manager Hendricks hoped to
stop them today by using Charlie White
house on the mound.
A bad decision by Field Umpire Shan
non and poor pitching by Paul Jones
gave the Thursday contest to the Brew
ers.
With the score standing even In the
eighth, Bues, first up, walked, and was
given a life at second on Butler's bunt
when Umpire Shannon made a bad guess.
Covington’s throw to Schreiber beat
Bues to the bag, but Shannon couldn’t
see it that way. Then, after two down,
Jones weakened, walking Hauser and hit
ting Ulrich, thereby forcing In Bues with
the winning run for the Brewers.
In the third inning the Tribe stepped
out and got three runs off Northrop and
there wasn’t a fan in the park who did
not think that the Hoosiers were again

on their way. But when the Brewers had
finished batting in their half of {he
fourth they had amassed four run and
the game looked altogether different.
The Indians outhit the visitors during
the pastime, but the fourth and eighth
innings checked them out of victory.
Jones lilt three men and walked two
during the afternoon, in addition to mak
ing a wild pitch, and of course with
that kind of pitching the Hoosiers were
handicapped.
Long hits featured the game, the Tribe
getting two doubles, a triple and a home
run and the Brewers getting two triples.
Jimmy Smith crashed out the homer
in the third Inning, the drive going to
deep left cental.
A disturbance arose in *be first Inning
that further weakened the Tribe through
the suspension of Duke Rellley from the
game.
Catcher Gaston, a suspended Milwaukee
player, was seated in the grandstand and
when Reilley batted the first time Gas
ton is said to have tossed some exas
perating word at the Duke.
This caused Rellley to leap into the
stand and when quiet had been restored
Gaston had been ejected from the stand
by the police and Rellley from the game
by Umpire Connolly.
No blows were struck, but there wpre
plenty of hot words exchanged and for
a time a real scrap threatened.
RIOTS AND FIGHTS
IN COLONEL GAME
LOUISVILLE. July 30.—One of the
best four-round battles ever stagtd for
the benefit of national pastime fans was
•witnessed here yesterday during the
course of the game between Louisville
and St. Paul, which Louisville won,
8 to 7.
Almost everything but bricks was
used In the scrap and there were times
when It looked as though Louisville
doctors were going to have a few broken
pates to patch up.
It first started In the fourth Inning
when Roy Massey, Louisville right
fielder. Informed Lamar, center fielder,
that he pulled a ‘•bone” on a play.
Lamar didn’t like this criticism and he
went over to Massey’s garden, where
the two encaged in battle. This scrap
was stopped by the players, but when
Louisville's turn at the bat rolled
around, the pair started another scrap
in the dngout. Massey had the better
of both rounds.
McCarthy Jerked Lamar from
K ifam* after the second fight and later
PTnnouaced that he had been suspended
indefinitely and that he would never he
permitted to play on the Louisville team
as long as be was manager.
Round three got under way when Um
pire Murray called Wortman safe with
the winning run. Murray won this
round, putting Dnncan, Dresscn and
Boone out of the battle of words in short
order.
The members of both teams wore now
about as “high strung” as possible and
when Miller doubled In St. Paul's half
of the ninth and Tlncup’s throw caught
Rlcgort at the plate a merry little melee
followed.
Catcher Hargrave of St. Paul swung on
Murray and Catcher Kocher swung on
Catcher Hargrave. A swarm of players
and fans gathered around the battle
ground and things became more Inter
esting when the police started to take
charge.
Griner and Brazlll wore the first to fall
Into the hands of the bluecoats. then
came Haas. This big boy objecetd so
strenuously that one of the coppers had
to clip him over the ear with a black
jack before he could he got under con
trol.
The Havers were held In the club office
until a’fter the excited fans had left the
park, then they were released.
DUBUC NAMED
TO PILOT HENS
TOLEDO, July 80,—Jean Dubuc, for
merly with the Detroit Tigers, was ap
pointed manager of the Toledo American
association team Thursday by Owner
Roger Breenahan. Dubuc takes ever the
team at once.
A. B. C.’s Win
MARION, Ind., July 80.—C. I. Tay
lor’s A. B. C.’s were too much for the
Chicago Olanta hero Thursday, winning
a ten-lnnlng contest, 4 to 3. It was
the first of a two-game series here with
the Chicago team. Jeffrlea pitched great
ball for the winners. White hit a homer
for the Windy City team and Ben Tay
lor retaliated with a four-bagger for In
dianapolis.
Hennessey and Kipp
to Meet Cleveland
Tennis Prominents
City Champ Plays Bartelle
and Kipp Takes on Wick
Tomorrow.
Johnny Hennessey and Breck Kipp
will defend the honor of Indianapolis
racquet swingers against Harold Bar
telle and Henry Wick of Cleveland, in
the third round of the intercity tennis
tournament, on the I. T. A. courts Sat
urday afternoon.
Cleveland is now leading the league,
having defeated Detroit in two singles
and one doubles match and Chicago in
two singles matches, and it is evident
that Saturday’s card will be of big in
terest to local net enthusiasts.
Indianapolis has a perfect percentage,
but has played only three matches, de
feating the Cincinnati team in both the
singles and doubles. The second round
match carded here a few weeks ago was
called off.
Bcrtalle, who will oppose Hennessey
Saturday, is a player of no mean ability,
but the odds are in favor of the Indian
apolis champ winning, as he has twice
before met the Cleveland stnr and was
returned the victor both times.
Kipp and Wick will meet in another
singles match and then the
Kipp combination will battle Bartelle
and Wick.
The singles matches will start at 2:30
and the Indianapolis Tennis association
officials have made arrangements to ac
commodate a record crowd.

Big League Stuff
The Reds are today only a game and a
half behind the league leading Dodgers
as a result of yesterday's victory, due to
Luque'd good pitching.
The Giants are on their winning way,
Xehf subduing the Cardinals.
Rlxey not only pitched good ball
against the Pirates, but his batting was
responsible for three of the Phillies runs
and they- won easily.
Alexander's reputation meant nothing
to the Braves, and they pounded him
hard enough to win.
Tho Cleveland Indlanj increased their
lead by walloping the Red Sox while
the Yanks were dividing a twin bill with
the Browns.
The Athletics dropped one game to the
White Sox and theyi won one by collecting
•lx runs In the tenth.
Rice's home run In the eleventh enabled
the Nationals to split even with the
Tigers.

So says William L. Elder, collector of
Internal revenue.
The tax In payable on or before July

As there la only ono day left lu which
to pay this tax, baseball teams which

"Section 1,001, subdivision 7, of the rev

“Where money Is collected and used

“The monthly war tax on admissions,
however, must be collected and paid in
every case where a charge for admission
Is made, unless the proceeds go to a

CITY SERIES TO
OPEN AUG. 14
Amateur Title Dates Set—
Marmons Lose Noonan.
The executive committee of the Indian
apolis Amateur Baseball association met
at the Columbia club Inst night and ar
l.anged a program for the first day’s play
in the Indianapolis city championship
series.
The meet will open Aug. 14 with a
game between the Commercial league
champions and the champions of the City
league at Riverside diamond No. 1. aud
a battle between the title bearers In the
Motor and Odd Fellow leagues at Brook
side diamond No. 1.
TITLE GAME AT
PREMIER LOT.
On Aug. 21, the winners of these two
games will meet and the champions of
the Manufacturers’ and Sunday School
leagues will stage their little act, the
winners of these games to clash in the
title fray Aug. 28. The place for tho
semi final games has not yet been de
cided, hut the title go will be offered at
(he Premier diamond.
The local champions will meet the
Louisville champs In a three-game series
in the nntlonul amateur tournament,
Kept. 4 and 3 on the Premier lot. It
was planned to play these games at
\\ ashingtou park, but the Indians will
be at home at that time and the com
mittee has de Ided to shift the scene to
the Premier diamond. The park wilt
be inclosed and a small admission fee
charged to cover the traveling expenses
or the Louisville nine.
It is also probable that the Louisville
junior champions will be brought here
for a series with the Indianapolis junior
champs on the same dates that the big
fellows play their games.
NOONAN RULED
OUT OF GAME.
City series talk was not the only busi
ness transacted by the executive commit
tee last night. The members also threw
a bomb into the Marmon camp by decid
ing that Johnny Noonan is Ineligible for
play with The Liberty Motor champs
against the Premiers in their big battle
to break the Motor league tie for first
place tomorrow at Premier diamond.
Noonan pitched for the Bay City club
of the Michlgnn-Ontniio league during
the early part of this season and the
committee last night decided that he is
a professional ball player, ineligible for
play in tbe I. A. B. A. until a period of
one year has elapsed. Noonan’s only
chance to play In tomorrow's game is to
prove to President Jarvis that he was at
Bay City on trial, as tbe rules of the
amateur association say that a player
who plays one or more games with a
professional club "on trial" shall not be
considered a professional.
The next step of the executive commit
tee was to rule the South Side Turners
Ineligible lor play in the city title series.
The Turners were lending the Municipal
lengue, a Sunday afiernoon loop, when
that circuit disbanded after six weeks of
play, anil It win first thought that they
would be permitted to take a crack at the
city laurels, but the committee decided
Inst night that the disbandment of the
Municipal loop was Just a bit of tough
luck for the Turner nine and that, not
hftvlng completed their schedule, they
h *-e no claim to play In the tournament.
This ruling Is all O. K. with the rules
and by-laws of the I. A B. A., but the
amateur fans would preferred to have
seen the Turners entt-retj In the meet.
The Imperial A. C. will meet the St. >

to be one of the best Junior affairs of
