U. —It now lies between Indianapolis and l ieveland In the tri-state tennis argument that has been carried on at the Ft. Wayne Coun try club since last Saturday. Upsets In the women's division of the meet have been plentiful, but after the first few rounds of play the fans drawn here by the meet picked Fritz Bastian. Johnny Hennessey, Walter Westbrook and Kenneth Simmons as the four best men’s bets and today these four had reached the semi-finals and were ready to battle for final round positions. Hennessey and Bastian, the Indianap olis flashes, were to meet and W est hrook and Simmors, Cleveland players, were to settle a little debate of their own. FINALS CARDED ON SATURDAY. The winners of today's matches will meet tomorrow for the championship of the biggest tournament staged in this section of the country. Fate has played a prominent part in this tournament. For the first time in as far back as some net enthusiasts can remember, Johnny Hennessey and Fritz Bastian drew positions in the same bracket and they were to clash in some- ‘ thing other than a championship match. As usual, their match today was doped to be “one of the season's greatest.’’ These two Indianapolis youths will meet In tournament play as often, or more so, than any other net rivals In the coun try, but no matter when their mntch rolls around, the fans set back and pre pare to witness a real tennis battle. The beauty part of the thing is. Johnny and Fritz are so evenly matched that their match Is never decided until the referee checks up the last point. Taking things as they stood today, In dianapolis looked like the champion pro ducer. Westbrook and Simmons, the Cleveland players, hold about the same position in the temiis world, with West brook. a little stronger. A Westbrook victory today, or a Sim mons win by a close margin, should mean that Indianapolis will have easy sailing tomorrow, whether Bastian or Hennessey is carrying her banner, be cause Hennessey proved himself su perior to the Cleveland star In the In tercity matches staged on the Indianap olis Tennis association courts last Sun day, and it does not seem as though he’ has lost any of his brilliancy (lur ing the play here thi3 week. Neither does it appear that Westbrook is play ing any better game now than he ex hibited’Sunday afternoon. The Indianapolis boys have shown the sterner stuff this week and either of them will be a heavy favorite to tear off a win tomorrow. HOOSIERS MEET IN THE DOUBLES. In the men's doubles today, Hennessey and Bastian were to meet another Indi anapolis pair, Starbuck and Parker, and Westbrook and Simmons were to clash with Westenhaver and Raseman in the semi-finals. This was another Indian npolis-Clevelana show, with Hennessey and Bastian and Westbrook and Sim mons the favorites to enter the final round. Mildred Rask was to meet Ruth King and Ruth Wise was scheduled against Mrs. Howard Cordes in tile women’s sin gles semi-final round. In the women’s doubles eeml-flr.als Miss Wise and Jean King were to meet Ruth Wise and Bobble Esch, while Misses Killie and Friend were to tangle with the Rask-Cordes combination.

INDIANS HOPE FOR SPLIT IN MILLER MATCH Tribe Strives to Stage Come back as in Recent Saint Series. JAMES DEFEATS GAW Jack Hendricks! Indiana were hoping to start something in today’s game early enough to give them a chance. In the Miller battles Wednesday and Thursday the Hoosiers almost did it, but not quite. They failed to reach in ninth inning rallies both days, so in the third skirmish of the series this afternoon the Tribe athletes hoped to get going a little earlier in the game. A victory today and one tomorrow will give the Indians an even break on the series and a record similar to that es tablished against St. Paul in which the Hoosiers dropped the first two and won the last two. At any rate more thrills were prom ised this afternoon. In fact, there Is a thrill every day all Washington park this season, and if it i%’t a wordy argument between players anu umpires it is a bril liant catch of some sort. Umpire McGloon Is worse than Shan non, according to the verdict of the fans yesterday. He is a field urnps and ap parently is easily rattled because in yes terday's contest lie came through with some amazing decisions on base line plays. Asa result of one rnn-in, Hank Sehreiber was ejected from the pastime bv McGloon in the sixth. James opposed Gaw on the mounu and j?ot away with a 4-to-3 victory, when his mates gave him a good lead to carry him The visitors scored twice in the first inning and twice in the fifth and those four markers proved the winners. The Indians counted one run in the second, one in the fourth and oue in the ninth. With the count standing 4 to 2 against them in the final frame the Indians miidp a threatening effort to tie up the game, but the rally fell short. Louie Wolf opened the inning with a triple and continued home -'lien Saw jer's relayed throw bounded oven Third basemin Davis head. However, Gos sett, Shlnners and Kores didn’t have the stuff to continue the rally against the good pitching of James and away went another ball game. Rehg was the chief Tribe sticker, with three hits out of four times up. Jen niugs. Russell, Wade and Jackson wield ed a heavy mace for the Millers. Gaw didn’t have a whole lot on the ball, but it i believed that he would Lave eased through a winner if he had teen given a tighter defense in the out field, especially In center and right, MOKE ATHLETES DEPART. NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—Gymnasts, oars men, Rugby players and Amateur Ath letic Union officials comprised a party of thirty-six American contestants In the Olympic games sailing for Antwerp on Thursday on board the United States army transport Sherman.

Around the A. A. WITH EDDIE ASH Can you beat it? The chesty Saints have dropped four straight games, two to the Indians and two toHhe Hens. Mike Kelley may be forced to cancel that fish ing trip if the Saints hit that long ex pected slump. Today was “Ladies’ day” at Washing ton park and the largest Friday atten dance of the season was promised. Jones or Cavet was to be seen on the firing line for the Hoosiers. Fsns gathered around Umpires Murray and McGloon after the game yesterday and gave McGloon a terrific bombardment of the “razz.” “Look how white he is," shouted a fan. “Aw, be ain’t white,” an swered Murray, trying to keep up Mc- Gloon’s nerve. However, Murray was (areftil to keep at his partner’s side while passing through the stands. Manager Hendricks today announced a change In the Tribe lineup. Wolf was to play second, Smith shortstop and Sehreiber third base, leaving Kores to do bench duty. Wolf gives signs of hit ting better than Kores, while Smith has wanted to play short and Sehreiber has asked to be stationed at third. The shakeup is expected to bolster the In dians In both fielding and batting. Barney Dreyfus,, owner and presi dent of the Pittaf>urg Nationals, was in the city yesterday and attended the game. He is on a scouting trip. Rch Russell, former White Box. former Miller and former Indian, is back with the Millers. Being an Indianapolis resi dent, it wan easy for Russell to break into the Miller lineup due to the injury to Rondeau, lteb got two hits yester day. but ids double should have been caught by Rehg. Four double plays were made in the game, three by the Indians and one by the Millers. Umpire McGloon helped in the Miller double killing and that is when Sehreiber was sent to the club house. With Jennings on third and one out in the eighth Jimmy Smith negotiated a neat play. lie speared Sawyer's liner and tossed to Korea, getting Jennings off the base. Duke Rellley cut up in left field in fine style. Shlnners was good on fly balls, but the ground drives had him puzzled. These belated rallies that fall short are hard on the nerves of the fang. McWheeney hurled nnother fine game for the Brewers yesterday and they trimmed Columbus, 7 to 1. Hyatt’s triple and Derrick's single In the eleventh put over the winning run for Toledo ugalnst SI. Paul. It was an uphill game for the Hens. The Colonels beat the poor old Blues. The Senntors have traded Outfielder Wolfer and Second Baseman Robertson to Joplin for Second Baseman Krueger. Tribe officials are still working on the plan to get Babe Ruth and Company here for an exhibition Sept. 22. Eddie Zwilling is back after being called home because of the death of his father, but he will not return to the Tribe lineup due to his injured ankle. You do or you don't, says Reilley.
