BLUES COMING
TOMORROW FOR
INDIAN SERIES
Slagging Kaws Due for Stay
ai Tribe Park—Plenty of
Excitement Sunday.
UMPIRE FORFEITS GAME
No parse today.
Kansas City here tomorrow
So says the American Association
schedule and Shorty Burch.
Bunny Brief, Eddie Zwilllng. Wilbur
Good and other Bine sluggers will be
here.
Makes no difference, however, who's
here.
The India ty. are ready for anything,
win, lose or draw
They challenge all comers with the ex
ception of Umpire Jim Murray.
Jim used to be a popular favorite, but
he lost his reputation Sunday. The fans
her* always have liked Jim and today
they were still discussing his wild ruiing
of Sunday that caused a forfeited game
and a lot of rough stuff that conoid have
been prevented bad Murray been himself
Jack Egan, Milwaukee manager, started
the fracas by ‘downing" the second game
of the double-header and Jack Hendricks.
Imps Murray and the fans finished it.
Not the substantial fans, bat the fans
who don't care. In fact, it is believed
that the gamblers started the fracas and
pitched out tbe first cushions. The bad
element was due for a terrific cleaning in
betting by reason of the fact that the
odds were about 10 to ♦ that the Indians
would not take the double header. The
take-a-chance boys grabbed off tbe short
end and as a result tbe bad elerunt was
facing a hard rob when it appeared as
though the Indians were going to annex a
twin bill.
In *the first came Pug Cave* turned
back tbe husky Brewers. 4 to 0. Pug had
the honor of beating Virgil Barnes Mil
waukee ace. in the first game and he was
in a good way of saving the second con
test until I'uips Jim Murray apparently
had a brain storm.
The Indians scored twice in the sixth
and twice in the eighth of the opening
battle of tbe afternoon. Covington drove
in two runs and Rehg and Schreiber one
each. It was a great ball game and it
was a shame that the afternoon had to
have a bad ending. The infield was
working In sensational style and many
sane remarked that the Indians played
like they were themselves again. It cer
tainly was a fine game.
Later In the day. however, the real big
stuff was pulled off. The Tribe stage-d
a huge rally in the seventh frame ly
scoring seven runs, thereby taking the
lead. S to 6. In Milwaukee's half of the*
eighth th* excitement reached the high
point. The Brewers got started on a
rally and Imps Murray helped 'em ‘out. *
Eventually the Brewers tried to get |
‘‘put out” and the Indians didn't care to j
end tbe half inning The Brewers scored j
five times and then Manager Egan looked
at his watch. He apparently decided
that the time was too short to allow the
Indians to bat and he hurriedly waved to
his base-runners to "clown" the party. I
This thought .Tack Headricks from the j
Tribe dugout and when the argument!
grew warm the fans becum° excited and
started a cushion shower. Imps Murray
thereupon forfeited the contest to Mil- j
watlkee, 9 to ©. He didn't allow an; time
for the park attaches to clear the field,
but simply turned toward the stands and
neut the game to the dogs
Murray acted too hastily. He easily 1
conld have settled the argument with
. Hen;!rick* without trouble and it would
have taken only two minutes to clear
the field of cushions But no. Murray
apparently forgot that blue laws are
threatening and he used h!s authority to
the limit fy forfeiting th- game.
Os course Murray was not the only
person to blame, but in these days of
fanatic reformers it might be a wise;
idea for the baseball umpires to use ex- !
treme caution, especially on Sundays. ;
The fans really cost the Indians that sec
ond game by their cushion throwing and
in a way it probably will be a lesson
for the spectators to remain in their
seats.
Manager Hendricks has formally pro
tested the "gift" game taken by the
Brewers. He is of the opinion that t tn
plre Murray acted beyond his authority
when he forfeited the game without al
lowing any time for the home club to
clear the Held. However, in ninety-nine
raw's out of one hundred an umpire's de
cision stands and the contest probably
is beyond recall.

l nitc.l press 'Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, July 25.-Outside of
Little Erin on the west side, most of the
natives of New York are rest y to buy
flowers for Joe Lynch.
J-.e gives the New Orleans newsboy,
Pete Herman, another chance for the ln
tmmweigbt championship tonight at
Fbhetts field.
The little Italian a feat in knocking out
two British champions, Jimini# Wilde and
Jim Higgins, while the champion was
bearing through Ihe Lushas, making an
infer, r showing with second raters, has
Gothamites expecting a transfer of the
title
Herman was always a careful champion.
He took no chances with his title and
when he met l.vnch before he fought In
such a "safety first” style that the crown
Just slid from his brow.
”"ae dopesters seem to think that Lynch
will d<< the same way tonight.
In figuring the chances of th© two box
era too much credit should not be given
! to Herman for his victories over Wilde
and Higgins lie had nine ponuds on the
flyweight champion and had several
pounds on Higgins. Alan. Americans
have shown that it Is no remarkable
stur-t to knock off an English champion
1 vneb can tight when he wunts t<> and
H > a cinch be will have an incentive to
night He has trained hard for thl* par
tin.lar battle, ami its the o ly time he
has ivork-d hard since he wen the crown.
“"ake it from mo," said Herman today,
"the championship is a handicap In a
figh’, even ihough it is such a desirable
; thing to hold.
I "When I was bantam champion I was
always careful, sometimes over-cant tons
I ;ii<i not do my beat, for 1 fought de ,
fensively moat of the time.
"1 hey tell roe that Lynch has not
fought.' np to his previous standard
Since he won the title. That doesn't *ur
prise me in the 1,-ast and 1 don’t expect
j that Lynch will be as good tonight as
ihe was when c last met That is. un
j less he can forget that he is champion.
| "Do T expect to win? Purely. 1 do
! 1 ve found myself within the last five
mouths I've got my punch back too, !
i and I've kept busy.”
l.vnch. however, sretns Just as con
fident. though a majority of the flgtic
i critics are agreed that the west side boy
will l.e fighting with lits back to the!
wall tonight.
Eddie Monde, manager of Lynch, said
toda> that th© champion la ready for
anything
"Too was never tetter. ’’ Mead© told the
writer "Ills hand is all right now. In
