DATE IS CLINCHED FOR APPEARANCE OF RUTH AND OTHER YANKEES HERE NEXT MONTH
BABE’S COMING
TO TOWN WITH
HIS WAR CLUB
Home Run King at Washing
ton Park Sept. 22 in Exhi
bition Game.
TRIBE DROPS ANOTHER
Get your alibis ready, fans, to get
away from business Sept. 22.
Babe Butb's coming.
Baseball's greatest card, the holder
of alt long-distance swat records, is
booked for a date at Washington park
on that day and it’s needless to say the
park will be filled to capacity.
Vice President Smith of the Indians
closed a deal with the New York Yankees
Wednesday whereby that galaxy of big
league stars will meet Jack Hendricks'
Hoosiers in an exhibition game at the
West Washington street lot Sept. 22, and
the contract calls for the Yankees to
appear with their regular lineup.
Negotiations for the contest have been
on the fire for some time and in order to
clinch the appearance of the seeker king
here, Smith had to outbid several other
cities. But Smith was there with the
top price and through his efforts Indi
anapolis fans are to be given an oppor
tunity of seeing the home-run star in
action.
Ruth has amassed a total of forty-three
home runs to date and by the time he
appears here his record probably will be
flirting with fifty.
Accompanying Ruth here will be other
star members of the Yankees—Ping
Bodie, Wallie Pipp, Roger Peckinpaugh,
Perrill Pratt. Bob Meusel, Duffy Lewis
and a few more.
The exhibition will be a regulation con
test of nine innings, as both Indians and
Yankees have an open date Sept. 22 and
there will be no need of hurrying the
game. The American association umpires
assigned to Indianapolis at that time will
officiate.
Reserved seats for the game probably
will be placed on sale far enough ahead
to give out-of-town fans a chance to
make reservations in advance.
BREWERS AGAIN
TRIM HOOSIERS
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 26—The Indians
faced the task of either beating the
Brewers today or seeing the series go
to Jack Egan's outfit. Rogge or Cavet
was slated to try mound duty.
The Brewers gained a big advantage
yesterday by repeating their Tuesday
achievement of grabbing the honors, the
score of the second battle being 10 to 2.
Whitehouse was off form and proved
easy for the Milwaukee batsmen, though
it must b- said that Whltey s support
was erratic. The Hoosiers opened the
game by threatening to sew things up
early on Jake Northrop, but Jake later
settled while Whitehouse weakened.
When the Brewers finally got the
range they bombarded the Tribe lefty
with hits of all kinds until he was forced
to retire in favor of (law. The Indian
relief pitcher stopped the onslaugh, but
it was far too late for the Hoosiers to
recover because the Brewers had piled
up a safe lead.
Artie Butler, veteran Brewer second
sacker, was the individual star of the
contest. He got a single, double and
homer and also performed efficiently in
the field. Rehg and Covington hit best
for the Indians.
Reilley and Smith had their usual
arguments with the Milwaukee fans,
which didn’t help the Indian cause any.

Big League Stuff
A single in the ninth inning yester
day by Ivan Olson scored the fourth
and winning run for the Dodgers
over the Pirates.
The Cardinals started out like win
ners, but a rookie pitcher, Ktrcber, let
off most of his steam in the eighth in
ning, and the Giants won, 6 to 3.
The world's champion Reds again as
serted themselves and trimmed the
Phillies the third straight time, 5 to 1.
George Tyler faced his old-time play
mates, the Braves, and limited them to
three singles, winning for the Cubs.
4 to 0.
The Athletics contlnne their perk
ing np. They whipped the Cleve
land Indians 2 to 1.
Allen Sotheron was the center of a
barrage In Boston. The Red Sox gave
him and the rest of the Browns an 11-to-l
lambasting.
Eddie Eayrs, utilitv outfielder for the
Boston Braves, met with a bad accident
during the practice before the game at
Chicago yesterday. In chasing a long
fly, he stumbled and fell, striking his
head against the concrete wall in front
i the left bleacher. Several atitehes
had to be taken and he was uncon
scious for Quite e time.
Around the A. A.
WITH EDDIE ASH
It was up to the Indians to make a
determined bid for the game in Mil
waukee today. The Brewers have won
five out of the six games played with
the Hoosiers.
It Is well not to be too harsh In criti
cising visiting ball players. When Mil
waukee was in Indianapolis the last trip
some people termed Catcher Gaston a
“fresh busher.” Since that time Gaston
has been going great guns and now he’s
been traded to the New York Giants and
ill Join McGraw’s team next spring.
Pitcher McWeeney of the Brewers has
been sold to the White Sox for $6,500.
This deal calls for the return of Mostil
and Lutzke to the Sox. The sum of
$3,500 paid the Sox last spring for
Mostil and Lutzke will be refunded.
Members of the Indians still regarded
as big league possibilities are Henline
nd Shinners and if they can get their
bats working effectively the majors no
doubt will be making offers for the pair
before the season closes.
Bunny Brief of the Blues socked his
twentieth homer of the season yester
day, the drive winning the game for K.
C. over the Colonels. Brief and Hargrave
of the Saints now stand even in circuit
drives.
And, by the way, the Senators trimmed
the leaders yesterday by slugging the
ball to all corners. Krueger starred in
the field for the Clymer outfit. The sad
part of the game was the fact that “Our
Mike” Kelly went hitless, despite the ter
rific slugging.
Jimmy Middleton shut out the Millers
while his mates hopped on James for
plenty of runs.
Dave Johnson, Tribe groundkeeper, is
putting Washington park in fine shape
for the return of the Indians Saturday.
Double-headers will be staged Saturday.
Sunday and Tuesday, with a single game
Monday.
Dave says he'll show Babe Ruth and
the other big leaguers what a real play
ing field is when the Y’ankees come to
the park for that big exhibition. Sept. 22.
It is no short drive from the home
plate to the right field fence at the Tribe
lot and fans will be anxious to see how
Ruth measures the distance.

Fails in Channel Swim
LONDON, Aug. 26.—Henry Sullivan of
Lowell, Mass., has failed in his effort to
swim the English channel, according to
the following Central News dispatch
from Dover this afternoon:
“An unconfirmed report reached here
that Sullivan was taken from the water
when he was within ten miles of the
French coast."
Sullivan started on his long swim
from Dover to France at 8:40 o’clock
last night. It was the first attempt to
swim the channel since the outbreak of
the world war.
SOX LEAD BY
THREE GAMES
Chicago Well on Road to Pen
nant in American.
Based on what has happened within
the last few weeks, the Chicago White
Sox today are on the road to a repe
tition of their 1919 championship of the
American league.
The Yankees lave faltered and skidded
so badly that they have played only
second division baseball. The Cleveland
Indians have done a bit better, but the
latest Invasion of eastern fields, largely
due to the saddening Influence of Ray
Chapman’s death, has been anything
but good for the Cleveland standing.
The White Sox have been quick to
take advantage of the situation. Start
ing their attack when the Yankees were
last visitors In Chicago the Sox drove
forward at their expense and then kept
up the battle when they reached the
other clubs. They went Into first place
while In the eust and are still there.
Todov the Yankees and White Sox
open (heir closing eastern engagement
at the Polo ground’s. The Sox start
this series with a lead over the Yanks
of three full games. In order to pull
the Chicagoans down to tbelr own level,
therefore, It Is up to the Yauks to make
a clean sweep of the series, i
The part played by the Philadelphia
Athletics may be to keep some American
league team’ from winning a peunant.
The Athletics stepped in and won from
Cleveland yesterday, and at this stage
of the pennant race every game has nn
important bearing on the championship.
The National league race remained un
changed as to leadership today, Brook
lyn, Cincinnati and New York all win
ning yesterday.
AN INNING WITH THE AMATEURS
— By CHARLIE LOGAN ~
TIMES-ELDER
GAME FEATURE
The Times will the Elder Re
serves on Riverside diamond No. 3, Tur
ners will battle the Militaries on Garfield
diamond No. 2 and the Willards will
cross bats with the Ferndales on River
side diamond No. 1 in the three games
carded in the second round of the city
independent amateur championship series
Sunday nfternoon.
Os these three games. The Times-
Elder affair at Riverside should be the
big feature. The newspaper boys faced
one of the strongest Independent clubs
In the state last Sunday and kuocked
Elmer Brown's curves for a win over
the Indianapolis Trojans, proving that
they had much more stuff than the fans
and dopesters were giving them credit
for.
As for the Eld**rs. they have not yet
faced real opposition in the tourney,
stacking up a big total to trounce the
Oiirstaraores in the first round, Charlie
Clark, a late addition to the local Inde
pendent Held, probably will throw- against
The Times Sunday. This youngster has
been puzzling the best batters in the
state all reason and the Elders are pin
ning their hopes of a win over The Times
on his arm.
The South Side Turners will no doubt
be shown some opposition by the Militar
ies at Garfield, but south side fans can't
see a chance for them to lose.
The Wlllard-rerndale scrap on River
side No. 1 will also draw a large gallery
These two fast clubs are about evenly
matched and their chances for a second
round victory are considered fifty-fifty.
The Borden Independent* were grant
ed a second-round bye at the Indepen
dent managers' meeting last night. Semi
final round games are scheduled a week
from Sunday and the final battle will be
staged Labor day. The winners of the
tournament will be awnrded a silver lov
ing cup by The Dally Times and the
Em-Roe sporting goods store will donate
a second cup for the runners-up.
XOTES AM) GOSSIP
OF CITY SERIES
The semi-final round of the Indianap
olis Amateur Baseball association cham
pionship tournament will be played Sat
urday afternoon with the Bell Tele
rbones, champions of the city league,
meeting the Premiers, motor chumps, on
Brookside diamond No. 1 in the feature
attraction.
In the other game the Morris Street
Methodist will meet the Holcomb A Hoke
team on Garfield diamond No. 3. Both
games will start promptly at 3 o’clock.
Advance "info” on the games point to a
Premier-Morris Street final round game.
The 1919 champs are not so strong this
year ns they were when flier walked off
with the city title and Saturday they will
face one of the strongest amateur clubs
ever produced In Indianapolis when they
hook up with the Premiers. A combina
tion composed of such stars as "Dolly”
Gray, Johnny Gaalema Charlie Schaeffer,
George Broughton and Elmer Brown Is
one that can weather a heavy storm and
still come through with the best of the
deal.
Tim Holcomb & Hoke tossers, Manu
facturers’ league champs, have a great
record for the season and may be ex
pected to play some good basebnll Sat
urday, but in looking down the Morris
: Street list and finding the names of
Huck Kelley, Tom Quill, Pat Lucid, Cody
i Rafferty, Roy Roberson, Oscar Buehler,
I George Grund, Brook Secrlst and Mc
i Elfresh, It Is hard to turn back and give
i the Holcombs anything much more than
I on outside chance.

Carpentier in Fuss at
Gaming Table; Charged
With War Gold-Bricking
r.IBIS, Aug. 26.—Georges f’arpcntler,
the European heavyweight boxing cham
pion, barely missed participation In a
public rough-and-tumble tight at Beau
lII® a few days ago with a former avia
tor in the French army.
The pugilist, who has been spending
some of his time at the rrsort since his
return from the United States, orcl
•'entally elbowed the former aviator in
a crowd around one of the gaming tablrs
at the Casino.
The aviator became loudly resentful
and gave Carpentier a vigorous denun
ciation. He charged the champion with
spending all his time In Paris during
ne war and with never having been
at the front. He wound up by challeng
ing Carpentier to fight on the spot. Dur
ing the hubbub that followed Carpeniler
slipped away and disappeared.
The champion, together with his man
ager, Francois Descamps, will leave
France Sept. 4 on Ln l,orralno of tile

BOXING
NEW SPARRING
PARTNERS ARRIVE
BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Aug. 26
Champion Jack Dempsey’s smile broad
ened today with the arrival here of
Marty Farrell, New York light heavy
weight. Farrell will act as sparring
partner for the champion. It was also
announced he probably will participate
In the preliminaries here Labor day, as
the opponent of Harry Greb, the Pitts
burger.
Annoyed by a fake report that he had
been in an auto accident which would
prevent his showing all his goods Labor
day, Dempsey ripped into his sparring
partners yesterday as if to show bis
good health. Two negro boxers who
have been taking the punishment hoped
no more false rumors would blossom.
Dempsey was to do some more slug
ging today.
Homer Smith will join the Billy Miske
camp Saturday, it was announced to
day. Yesterday’s workout by the chal
lenger saw Jack Helnen and Jimmie De
laney take their usual lacing.
From the strenuous ’ programs fol
lowed by champton and challenger, It
was apparent today neither regards the
coming battle lightly. Dempsey has
reeled off miles on the road to strengthen
his legs and wind. Miske has worked
even harder.

Young Stars Clash
in Third Round of
Women's Golf Meet
17-Year-Old Girl Defeats 1919
Champ — Mrs. Stevenson
Eliminated .
CHICAGO, Aug. 26.—3Iiss Francis
Hadfield, 17-year-old champion of Wis
consin, yesterday played wonderful golf
to defeat the 1919 champ. Mrs. Perry
Fisk of DeKalb, 6 and 5, in the second
round of the western women's golf cham
pionship tournament ofi the Oak Park
course.
The victory of Miss Hadfield brought
her against Miss Edith Cummings, an
Onwentsia star of the same age. in the
third round today. Miss Cummings yes
terday gained the distinction of defeat
ing Mrs. J. S. Pritchard of Battle Creek,
former title holder. Jliss Cummings’
card of eighty-eight was the best of
the day.
Something of a surprise was sprung
by Miss Burns of Kansas City when
she defeated Mrs. B. C. Stevenson of
Indianapolis, considered a strong con
tender for the honors 8 to 6.
Other players to advance a notch were
3iis Elizabeth Klotz of Indian Hill,
Mrs. Melvin Jones of Glen Oak, Mrs.
J. W. Douglas of Evanston, Miss Dorian
Kavanaugh of Los Angeles and Mrs. F.
C. Letts Jr., of Onwentsia.
The four matches in the third round
today promised to develop interesting
struggles. If both Miss Hadfield and
Miss Cummings played true to form
the winner would be determined by the
breaks in the game.
Miss Klotz was conceded a slight ad
vantage over Miss Burns, while Mrs.
Jones apparently had a shade over Mrs.
Douglas.
Miss Kavanaugh has made an excel
lent showing thus far in the tournament,
but Mrs. Setts Las won the title twice
and appears to he at the top of the
game, which she forsook for war work
in 1918-1919.

r
Hoosiers Stepping Out
Are Hoosiers keeping in line with
the golfing times?
Well, you can Jusb bet your fancy
knickers they are. At least six new
courses will be ready for Indiana
golfers In 1921 and there is a possi
bility that several others will be on
the map by that, time.
The cities that are sure of having
new courses next year are Columbus,
Nobiesvtlle, Montecelll, Oldenberg,
Bedford and Greensburg. Bedford is
the only one of these cities that has
ever boasted of golf links.
V
SPECIAL LINKS
FOR BEGINNERS,
PLAN OF CITY
Park Board Proposes to Buy
Ground Adjacent to
South Grove.
SCHOPP AS SUPERVISOR
Indianapolis will be introduced to a
new wrinkle in the line of golf next year.
If plans announced >y the park board
.today to establish a nine-hole practice
course in connection with the South
Grove links go through.
The park board, according to Superin
tendent James H. Lowry, proposes to
purchase the strip of land just across
the Eighteenth street road, south of tbe
South Grove clubhouse, extending froin
Parkview boulevard west to White riTer,
and from Eighteenth street south to the
new road cut through north of the old
Speedway road. Eighteenth street will
be closed when the course is built.
Tbe land is now owned by tbe Indian
apolis Water Company.
WOULD START
IVORK IN FALL.
Lowry stated today that the ground
probably will be purchased by the city
iu time to let Harry Schopp, South
Grove professional, start the work of
laying out tbe course this fall, so that
it will be in shape for the beginners next
year.
Schopp already has his plans for the
course drawn and states that it will
be over a distance of 2,600 yards. Just
400 yards shorter than the regulation
nine-hole course. The first tee will be
just opposite tee No. 1 on the present
South Grove course. The drive will be
off toward the Emricksvilie bridge.
Golf interest, has been growing rapidly
in Indianapolis during the past few years
and every one of the six courses now
in use is’accommodating an overflow.
Naturally, the majority Os the new
comers to the game flock to the munici
pal courses. South Grove and Riverside.
South Grove now is carrying ■ approxi
mately 700 regular players, players who
are out as sure as clockwork on Satur
day and Sunday. A number of these
are beginners, familiarly known as “duf
fers.’' who make things all the more con
gested by their slow and awkward
playing.
These new* players are as welcome a
the flowers in May, but tbe time is rap
idly approaching when it will be abso
lutely impossible to accommodate them
ou the present courses.
The only wsy out is the “beginners'
course," according to Schopp. The South
Grove professional says that when he
haa his nine-hole course installed and
ready (j>r use, the beginners naturally
will want to get over and play in their
own little stamping grounds, where they
can try out all their little ideas and
shots and know that they are not In
terfering with the play of real-for-sure
golfers.
Practice courses are rather common
! through the east, where the larger and
financially strong clubs are rapidly learn
ing of the benefits derived through them.
