DePauw Grid Opening
Postponed Until Purdue
Game, Due to Fatality
GREENCASTLB, Ind.. Sept. 20.—The
De Pauw-Hanover game scheduled for
next Saturday has been canceled and
the Tiger grid men will not open the
season until the Purdue game, the week
following.
Cancellation of the Hanover contest
was announced by Athletic Director Buss
following the death in Indianapolis Sat
urday of Hugh Gibbs, Martinsville boy,
who was a candidate for a position on
the eleven. It is the first fatal accident
to occur in the many years of De Pauw
football and was the result of a prac
tice tackle In the camp at Culver.
Gibbs was Injured last Wednesday and
died in the Methodist Hospital, Indian
apolis, Saturday night when he failed
to rally from an operation. His spinal
column was dislocated and fractured, the
surgeons announced.
Gibbs, who was IS years old, came to
De Pauw from Martinsville, where he
was a star athlete on the Martinsville
High school. He was the foster son
of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Shlreman of
that city and was one of the most popu
lar young men on the De Pauw grid
squad. His death has caused extreme
sorrow among the De Pauw authorities
and footall boys and has cast a shadow
over the entire college that will take
months to remove.

TRIBE FALTERS
WHEN OPPOSED
TO THE SAINTS
Hoosiers Get Nervous When
Victory Nears and Defense
Goes to Pieces.
HOPE FOR" EVEN BREAK
With two games remaining in the St.
Paul series the Indians were hopeful to
day of getting an even break with the
Champions despite the fact that Kelley s
gang seems to be making an extra effort
to put over a clean sweep here.
Southpaw Jess Petty was slated to try
his band against the Invaders this after
noon and Jess felt capable of trimming
the Saints if backed up by good sup
port.
In the games over the week-end the
Saints grabbed the Saturday fracas, 4 to
2, and the Sunday performance, 8 to 4.
The Sabbath day contest saw Whitehouse
and Henline, the youthful Tribe battery
named to be traded to the New York
Giants, in action and, though the fans
pulled hard for the future big leaguers to
put over a victory, the pulling failed to
get results.
Going into the eighth inning three runs
behind, the Indians broke through the
Saints’ defense and knotted the count by
a sensational rally. Then, with the fans
excited to the highest pitch, the Tribe
balloon went up in the ninth and before
it landed the Champions had counted four
markers and the game, 8 to 4.
Vet Charlie Hall hurled for the Saints
ar.d, though not as puzzling as usual, he
managed to slip through with damage
being done in only two innings. Two
fatal errors in the Indian outfield helped
Kelley’s boys in their big finish.
Jimmy Smith protested one of the hits
made by the Saints In the ninth, the
Tribe second sacker asserting that Hall's
drive had clipped Base Runner Boone on
the foot, but the umpire couldn't see it
that way.
Jimmy was still protesting when the
game ended and during his conversation
with Umpire Murray the fans staged
another playfest and Juggled a few
cushions.
Murray was in no danger, however, and
was not harmed. Owner Smith of the
Indians went down on the field to see
that no fuss occurred and he stopped
more cushions than any one in the place.
The victory of the Saints yesterday
gave them a win record for the Ameri
can Association that is not lilaiy to be
topped for years. By defeating the
Hoosiers In the second of the series the
Keileyltes ran their victory string for
the season to 106 games. The best pre
vious mark was tacked up by the Millers
In 1912. when Cttntillon piloted hit team
under the wire carrying 105 victories.
Indianapolis baseball fans were elated
yesterday when it was learned that
Charlie Whitehouse Is going to get a
chance with the Now York Giants, along
with Catcher Butch Henline. Botch will
go in a trade for Infieiders Doug Baird
and Fred Lear and a young pitcher to be
named later, while Whitehouse will leave
the Indians for the big top in exchange
for Outtielder Kiueella. Catcher Dixon
and a pitcher. Timely the Indians sre
due to receive six bait players in ex
change for two as a result of the careful
and businesslike manner in which Owner
Smith and Manager Hendricks handled
the negotiations.
The battery of Whitehouse and Henline
is rated one of the strongest combina
tions iu the American Association and,
though Whltey has had a major league
chance previously, bis admirers believe
he will make good permanently on his
jaunt to the McGraw clan. Whitehouse
Is an Indianapolis resident, while Uon
line hails from Ft. Wayne.
The recent deal* engineered by the
Tribe officials have attracted considerable
notice in baseball circles and managers
of other A. A. clubs have been made to
realize that Indianapolis Is going to be
In the pennant' hunt from the opening
bell next season.

coming from Coach Pat Page. The new
mentor Is maintaining a silence equal
to that of any telephone operator.
The feeling of optimism at the Irving
ton tchaol can be traced to four things.
Confidence in I’pge, whose ability is
known all over the county; the large
squad that reported for the teams; the
fighting spirit that Page has instilled
Into tne men, and the class that the
men have been showing in the early
scrimmages.
MEN SHOWING
GOOD FORM.
While it may be a little early to bank
on the last named factor, and the per
sonnel of the team that will start the

there Is no doubt about it. Pep Is all
over the gridiron as soon as the squad
trots out. Every play In scrimmage is
as bitterly contested as In any regular
game.

Club Breaks Down in Na
tional Semi-Finals.
FLINT, Mich., Sept. 20.—The Premier
Motors of Indianapolis failed to catch
their stride in the semi final games of
the amateur championship series with
the Buick Motors here Saturday and
Sunday and were defeated in the three
games played by score of 5 to 3, 10 to 2
and 1 to 0.
By virtue of their victory, the Buicks
meet the McKinney Steel team of Clevo
land, Ohio, in the final round of the
Class A. A. series next Saturday and
Sunday.
Errors and bunched hits gave the
locals their Saturday victory. Redmond
and Ballmer, the opposing hurlers, al
lowed six hits each, but Redmond's sup
port cracked in the pinches and he went
down to defeat.
The big surprise of the series was the
weakness of Elmer Brown, premier
pitcher, in the first Sunday game. Browii
was considered almost a sure winner, but
he got away on the wrong foot and the
Buicks''found him the easiest of the lot.
Eight of the ten Buick runs In this game
came in the first and second innings.
Brown was touched for twelve hits and
•walked ten men, while Curtis, Buick
hurler, allowed only five hits and fanned
sixteen Premier batters.
Uhe second Sunday game was called
on account of darkness at the end of the
fifth with the locals one run to the good.
Adams was going good in this contest
and probably would have put over a win
had the scrap continued the full nine in
nings.
Earl Shaefer, Charlie Shafer and
George Broughton were the big Premier
stickers in the threy games.
