Indiana were to make their last 192<)
stand here this afternoon, following
which they will pack up and return
home, where they will engage the Wash
ington Americans in an exhibition game
tomorrow.
.Tess Petty was slated for mound duty
this afternoon, although Rogge was als •
ready to do the flinging. The Hoosiers
were expected to be without the sere
ices of Jimmy Smith today and in all
probability he will he suspended for the
season as a result of his attack on Um
pire MoGloon yesterday.
The Indians easily captured the Mon
day fray. 10 to 2. hitting the balll to all
corners, while Paul Jones held off the
Hen sluggers.
The Smith trouble came in the fifth
Inning after Jimmy had been called out
on a close play at first base. He took
exception to Field Umpire McGloon’s de
cision and soon had a fight started. Be
fare the players and police could stop
the Hoosier he had the umpire well
scratched up and when the police were
taking him out of the park he was still
fighting.
The Indianapolis athletes had on their
batting clothes and finally knocked Mr-
Coll out of the box. He was relieved by
Meade, a rookie, but the youngster failed
to do much in the way of checking the
Tribe bombardment.
Henline got three hits during the
fracas, leading his club with the willow.
Shinners also hit well, as he has done
in all of the games here.
ALTROCK, RICE AND
OTHERS COMING

Clauer of the Indians have all plans

means and he may play first base part
of the time tomorrow.

leaguers are Judge, Milan. Roth. Sam
Rice, the best base-stealer in the Ameri
can League, and Brower, who recently

regular lineup against the Nationals and
make every effort to win.
Numerous calls have been received for
tickets to the Washington game, but

SAINTS CAN'T
LOSE PENNANT
ST. PAUL Sept. 14. —The local team
of the American Association cannot lose
the pennant even if It drops all of Its
remaining games. Mike Kelley's men

far out in front of the nearest contend
ing club that it is impossible to be over
taken the remainder of the schedule.
This is the second straight season that
f?t. Paul has won the A. A. flag, the
1020 team being nearly the same in
plarer makeup as the 1010 champion*.
Manager Kelley also is trying to keep
many ot the present stars as possible
for ihe 1021 clnh.

Giants were to close their series at
Washington park this afternoon and the
locals were out to grab the last one. In

hard fight by Carr, the opposing twlrler,
who also was In sensational form.
The A. B. C.’a scored the only marker

port the fans saw one of the best games
of the A. B. C. season.
The Bt. Louis team is proving a hard
one to defeat and the fact, that the A.

That Makes Visitors Want
to Stick Around.
The Indianapolis Amateur Baseball As
sociation, besides being able to turn out
a ball club that looks like it might take
the grandest little whirl at the national
championship that any club from this
vicinity has ever taken. Is right up there
:n the front line when It comes to en
tertaining and opening the eyes of visit
ing sandlot magnates.
Yesterday afternoon the executive com
mittee of the National Baseball Federa
tion met in Indianapolis to arrange the
affairs of the 1020 championship series,
;.nd after the business was concluded the
visitors were treated to a party that made
them come- through with a lot of praise
for the city before thy departed.
LARGE NUMBER
ATTEND MEETING.
The men present were: President W il
liam S. Haddock, Pittsburg; Secretary
J. F. Potts, Cleveland; Treasurer V. E.
ZettCTlindi Detroit; Counsel C. C. Townes,
Cleveland; Ralph Davis, Pittsburg; Dick
Novnrlo, Cleveland; Cliff Martin, Cin
cinnati; Lew Ulrich, Louisville; Johnny

Cincinnati; A. B. Nicholas. Cleveland;
Otto Strassbofer. Cleveland; G. M. Tyson.
Detroit: C. N. Young. Flint; Frank Kelly,
Flint; G. M. McKinley, Flint, and Bill

The Indianapolis men on deck were;
James H. Lowry, superintendent of pub
lic parks and first vice president of the
National Federation: R. Walter Jarvis,
director of recreation and president of
the i. A. B. A.; Henry Hirris. man
ager of the Premier Club: Johnny Gaa
leuia, captain of the Premier Club; Fred
Wampler, Indtana-Bell Telephone man
ager, and Manager Baldridge of the G.

After the committee had arranged the
schedule for the late rounds of the tour
ney, matching the Premiers with the
Buick Motors of Flint in the semi-final
round three-game series, to be played at
Flint Saturday and Sunday, and ar
ranged other matters of importance,
James H. Lowry took charge of the ex
pedition and conducted an automobile
tour of the city.
CITT’S FEATURES
GO OVER BIG.
The things that went biggest with the
visitors were the sunken gardens at Gar
field Park, the Indianapolis Motor Speed
way, the cabaret dinner at the Indian
apolis Athletic and Canoe Club, and the
theater party at B. F. Keith's. The lat
ter was "thrown” by Itoltare Eggleston.
Cliff Martin, being a Cincinnati coun
cilman, was in a hurry to catch the 6
o’clock train last night, so that he could
be in the Red city In time for today’s
council meeting, but he was ail out of
luck. Lowry persuaded him to go out
and take a look at the Speedway and
when they got him out there they sent
the driver of his machine hack to Indi
anapolis, leaving Cliff stranded and de
pending on the courtesy of the rest of
the gang to get him back on train time,
which they didn’t.
When the cabaret singers started doing
their bit at the Canoe Cub. Cliff admitted
that he was glad to be among those pres
ent, but he was sorry that he hadn't car
ried along a suit of pajamas and an
extra handkerchief, and besides, he had
promised his three months-old grandson
that he would be back last nlglit.
Judge Spiegel of Cincinnati and Sher
iff Haddath of Pittsburgh would have
traded their official dignity for a contin
uation of the auto ride.
I>olk Novario, Cleveland, entertained the
crowd with some "drop nickel here”
music many times during the day.
At Keith’s Roltare Eggleston reserve
a couple of boxes for the party and every
body admitted that uo better closing
feature could have been arranged than
that which the show offered.
CONFIDENCE RULES
PREMIER CAMP
“Hank” Harris and Johnny Gaalema,
manager and captain of the Premier
Motors, amateur champions of Indian
apolis. have confidence that Indianapolis
is going to be the last city heard from

Last year the Buirka eliminated the In
dianapolis Bell Telephones In the first
round. They had a tough time doing it.
however, and in tbe elimination scries
this year the Premiers banded the Bells
a nifty trimming without halt trying.
Members of tbe Bell team are willing to
admit that the Premiers of this season
are much faster than the Bell outfit of
last year and they are backing them to
trounce the Bui 'ks. So much for dope
Fans who saw the Premiers beat the
Louisville champs at Washington Park
Saturday are backing the cub strong.
No prettier game or ball could have
been played by amateurs than that of
Saturday. Tbe Premiers stacked tip
strong In every department. The Pro
infer pitching staff should prove well
able to take care of any heavy hitters
on the Flint squad. Elmer Brow’n, "Rab
bit” Redman and “Babe” Adams have
been bitting their best stride this sea
son and Capt. Gaalema has little worry
about them not coming through with the
goods.
The Premiers will leave here at 9
o'clock Thursdn.v night. They will prac
tice every afternoon until that time and
should be in the best of form when
they set sail.

he has probably decided to retire.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Two more vic
tories added to the ledger by the Brook
lyn Dodgers have practically cinched the
National League championship for that
team. Today they stand out in front
with a lead of thirty-four points over
the Giants, who are in third place, two
points behind the demoralized Reds.
Fourteen games remain on the Brook
lyn schedule. If they win only half
of these the Giants or Reds will have
to play phenomenal baseball even to tie
them at the end of the season. Cincin
nati has twenty-two games left and the
Giants are faced with eighteen, five of
which gre with the Dodgers.
Provided the Giants lose four more
and the Reds six more while the Brook
lyns are breaking even they will be very
close to the end. The teams today
stood.

The closeness of the Dodgers to a com
manding lead in the elder league take*
off something of the glamor of the
American, where a three-cornered race
that would sizzle most ball clubs is in
progress. ,
All three of the American leaders won
yesterday, which leaves them still sep
arated by only ten points. Cleveland is
in the van with a margin of one point
over the Yankees, who. Just now, are
playing the better game. Os the three.
Chicago has shown weakest in the last
few games, but the champions have
marvelous recuperative powers and are
not to be ignored. The American- leaguers
stood today:
Won. Lost. Pet. To Play
Cleveland 84 51 .<’22 19
New York 87 53 .021 14

Chicago met Brooklyn again today, the
Cardinals continued their stay in New
York and Cincinnati again faced the
I’hiUie*. The Yanks wind up their
series la Detroit today, the Athletics do
the same at Cleveland and Chicago bids
farewell to the Nationals for the season.
