President John A. Heydler of the Na

innings of the game replayed before
the scheduled game of Sept. 4. The
teams are directed to line up as nearly
s* possible to the lineup of the game
of July 5; to take the field a* of the
first half of the seventh Inning with
Stengel of the Phillies on third, and
Fletcher on first and two out. This
was the situation when the disputed
I play took place. Wrlghtstone hit a fly
| to short left, which Umpire Harrison
ruled an “infield fly” automatically re

of the Giants, however, permitted tho
ball to drop safely, then recovered It
and threw to second base, Fletcher be
ing declared forced out by Field Umpire
McCormick. Fletcher, who was put out
of the game for disputing the decision,
will be permitted to take his placo in
the lineup. Pr-sident Heydler deplcd the
Phillies’ protest and appeal to have the
entire game replayed, because at the
time of the dispute the score was 6 to 0

Indians Nearly Cop Twin Bill
Over Saints Behind Paul’s
Good Pitching.
UMPS HITS HENDRICKS
ST. PAUL, Aug. 19.—Jack Hendricks’s
Indians finally beat the Champion Saints
yesterday, when they grabbed the final
game of the series, 5 to 3, after dropping
Jhe first contest of the day’s double
header card, 3 to 4.
The Hooaler athletes packed up im
mediately after the big afternoon and
departed from the city latt night, their
next stop being Kansas City, where they
will open a series with Otto Knabe’s
Blues Friday.
Ail the Indians welcomed the rest
today because four of them are not in
the best of shape. Among the sick and
injured are Smith, Zwllling, Wolf and
Gossett, and with these men ailing the
team is lucky to win any games.
However, the Hooslers hope to swing
back into consistent winning form while
In the K. C. camp, and believe they wilt
be back In second place when they
t merge from that place.
Paul Jones hurled both games yes
terday, and he was simply outlucked out
of the first one. He allowed the cham
pions only six hits, but lust, despite tbe
fact that his mates collected nine off
llall.
The ninth inning of the first gams
was a heartbreiiker for Manager Hen
dricks aud bis tribe, because In that
ftame the Hooslers got a double, single
and two home runs, yet got "Oly two
markers. As an aftermati. to a dispute
between Manager Hendricks and Field
Umpire McCaflerty In that. Inning tbe
umpire attacked the. Tribe boss between
Somes, and it is likely that President
llefeey will at least investigate.
Players separated the principals be
fore real damage had been done, al
though Hendricks had to stand for a
blow In tbe face.
The atory of the ninth Inning rally in
the first game that fell short follows:
Covington, first up. singled to left. Uehg
drove a Hjjer to right that Outfielder Rig
gert made a headlong dive for. He got
bis body over the ball as he fell and Um
pire McCafferty ruled it a fair catch.
Covington, of courae, was doubled off
first brfse. Manager Hendricks and the
Tribe players kicked hard over the de
cision, but to no avail. Kores then drove
out a home run to right center and Hen
line followed It with another circuit clout
over the left field fence. Schreiber then
doubled, but was left when Zwllling;
fanned. Truly the Indiana were outlucked
in that game.
Paul Jones asked to be sent back at:
tho Saints in tho second contest and when
given permission ho proceeded to do a
good Job of beating the champions.
The games sparkled with thrilling stop*
ratal cat ■■lies nnd St. Paul fans probably
saw more baseball during the afternoon
than In any three or tour previous games.
Around the A. A.
WITH EDDIE ASH
The Indians were forced to stage a j
ninth-lining rally to cop the second j
game f the day’s card at bt. Paul yes
terday. The Saint* had knotted the
count .n the eighth, but the Hooslers
apparently wero determined that they
would got ono game out of the four with
the Cbum'pions, aud they made good.
Everything has happened so the In
t'. ans this season that possibly could
happen in a ball game. Just Imagine
getting all those hlta In the ninth of
that first game and then falling short
of winning! No wonder Manager Hen
dricks bawled out the umpire.
4t any rate, the Indian* <ll •cov
ered that the St. Paul groundkeeper
didn’t move the short left field fence
hark lu<a It tvas their turn at bat,
so Henllne put one over It.
Even if the Saints are far out In front,

MISKE’S WORK
PLEASES FANS
Smith Sees Billy Fit for Ac
tion Against Champ.
By ED W. SMITn.
(Written for International News Service.)
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.—Those fight fans
who saw Billy Mlske put in nis first
day’s workout for the fight with Demp
sey, Sept. 6, here yesterday came away
with a regular impression. '
Most of them who spoke to me after
the four-round display of boxing and
wrestling told me they thought Mi3ke
would put up a regular battle with the
champion, and others—and they were
in the minority—expressed the belief
that Dempsey would beat him but only
after a tough fight.
Miske gave the fans a nice display,
considering that he is not extending
himself in the least at the present time.
Mlske went two rounds of a vigorous
nature w4tih the ancient but still very
good Jack Blackburn, old-time light and
middleweight fighter, and after that they
brought out a young middleweight named
Jimmy Delaney from St. Paul. Ho Is
very fast and clever and kept Mlske
moving every minute of the time.
“They talk about me being a sick
man,” Miske said scornfully, “but look
a* me—l’m as big this minute as Demp
sey was when he beat Willard, and
feeling extra tine."
Miske looks it. He weighed 194 pounds
yesterday without an ounce of clothing,
nnd every inch of him seems to bo ready.
He looked to be almost an exact replica
of Dempsey, as far as actual size is
concerned. about as tall, about as
broad and little" disparity can be noted.
The Dempsey chest is fuller and tho
Dempsey arms a bit more club-llke, but
outside of this they are about the same,
a corking good match.
Miske was to work out here again this
afternoon and tonight will go to Ben
ton Harbffr, wharf a he will complete his
training.

fought affair from the time the first bail
Is pitched.

ed to the Salvation Army and /other
charitable institutions of the city.
The first Optimist-Rotary game, played
before the title series opened, was close
all the way. The Optimist lineup has
been strengthened since that time and
daily practices are showing the players
in top form.
There are four teams in the series
and at this time the Optimists and
Klwanis are tied for first place with one
game won and none lost. The Rotarians
and American club are in the cellar, but
fighting hard to get out in front.
