TITLE
SCRAP BOOKED
FOR LABOR DAY
Rickard Practically Closes for
Wilson and Downey Bout
in Jersey.
NEW TORK, Aug. 19.—Tex Rickard
announced today that the proposed re
turn scramble between Johnny WUeon
tend Bryan Downey, middleweight title
claimants, was practically clinched.
There atlll remains a little financial ad
justment before the final papers are
signed and the neceeeary wheels put In
operation to atart the two boys In an
other jam at Rickard's arena in Jersey
City on Labor day.
It appears that the Downey interests
Insist that they are entitled to as much
financial consideration as Wilson. How
eveg. Tex doe* not anticipate any lengthy
trouble In the matter and he is sure
everything will be settled amicably in a
few days.
Under the New Jersey law. the bout
will be twelve rounds.
It also was annonneed by Rickard to
day that be proposes to retain the big
Areana in Jersey City, where Messrs.
•Dempsey- and Carpentler had their fa
Sous tilt Tex has arranged an ex
nsion of the lease, arid It is his pur
pose to stage another heavyweight cham
pionship bout there next July.
"I would like to send the most logical
•candidate against Dempsey next sum
mer.” said Tex. “If Willard can prove
Sto me that he can get in condition for
*ten Important bout of this nature It Is
■sere than likely that I will ask the
l>if Kansas farmer to try It over again
At any rate, whoever happens to ba tbe
logical contender at that particular time
VC; be the one to attract my attention
la the matter
t "Perhaps the winner of the proposed
teibbons-Carpentler bout might prove to
be the one best fitted. If Gibbons shonld
vest Csrpentler I feel that I would be
compelled to consider him tbe logical*
jopponent for Dempsey. It Is a long while
ioff, however, end I am going to hold on
to the arena In the hope of staging sev
eral other championships, beiore any
thought It given to dismantling the big
boxing structure.”
When Tex was asked about the open
ing ehow at Madison Square Garden In
the fall, be said he had not as yet made
definite arrangements for the Initial
bouts, bjlt thought perhaps he would de
cide on a bantam tournament to start off
the season.
*‘l may be able to match Pete Her
man and Joe Lynch for the rubber bout,”
said the big promoter. "And If 1 can.
I think I will make tbe card a general
Iprogram of light fellows whom I think
are most popular with the local fans.”

CITY SERIES
TEAMS READY
The Indianapolis Amateur Baseball As
sociation championship series opens on
the city park diamonds Saturday after
noon, with eight teams, all of them
leap>e champions, competing for the city
Tag and the right to represent Indian
spoils in the national championship
aeries.

on at Brookaid* diamond No. 1. where
the Indiana Bell Telephone, champs cf
the Citr League. and Indianapolis
champs in 1919. are scheduled agsiust
the Zion Evangelists, title-holders of the
National Sunday School League It
doesn't take a licensed dopester to pick
the winner of this game, as winners are
picked but the Zion players are keyed
up for the fracas and thoir followers
are predicting a merry time for the
• hallo” fallows.
Rex Dawson probably will do the
chucking for the Telephones, and If he
does the Zlons should, by all that's dope
go home on the short and. On the other
hand, the Ztons have won their way Into
the big series by virtue of heavy hits
and lots of em, and there is a possibility
of something unexpected happening If
Hex and his mates are not going along
as is their custom.
The Southport Baptists and American
Central Life Insurance teams are slated
In another hot battle on Riverside dia
mond No. 1. The American Centrala
walked off with the honor* of th Bank
ere’ and Insurance loop without batting
an eye. and the Southporters were easy
winners in the Federal Sunday School
circuit.
The Brockside Odd Fellows, undefeated
in the Odd Fellow League the entire
season, will hare the River Avenne Bap
tists, champs of the American Sunday
School League, sos their Opponents on
Garfield diamond No. 3. The Brooksldes

sers and they are apt to trounce the
River Avenue crowd, then go in and make
It mlghtly interesting for the Bell Tele
phones in the semi final round.
The Kahn Tailors, winners ir. the
Manufacturers' League, and the Interstate
Cara. Commercial League culers, stand
r *ady to put up a real show on Kiver
tide diamond No. 9. Theae two teams

for the honors of Indianapolis will be
staged at the same place the following
Saturday The double umpire system Is

A FIGHTING WORD FOR
EVERY WOMAN |is
I
play for the golfing championship es In
diana.
Herman Slelken, registered out of the
Riverside Club of Indiana pollSt turned In
a 163 score to carry ofl the low quali
fying honoxs for the thirty-atx holes
Slelken scored an 81 Monday and cams
baok for an 82 Tuosday. Sparks of Terse
Haute and Webster or South Bend tied
for second place with 167 scores, and
Gavin Brown of the Sou.h Grove Club.
Indlanapolia, and John Ledbetter of
Michigan City were next with a pair of
16S Scores.
The golfers had considerable trouble
with the tricky course Monday, but they
grew more accustomed to conditions as
play progressed yesterday, and a general
Improvement was noticed In the scores.
Another round or two over the local
links and the championship seekers
should be going around at normal speed.
The list of thirty-two players to make
the qualifying ripple shows the nfiines
of the State's best drive and putt line,
and it seem* a* though advance reports
that this tourney is going to top them
all may come through O. K. after aIL
Sielken today was paired with Frank
Ayres of Highland In tbe first round of
match play. Despite Slelken's good
Shooting in the qualifying rounds, the
dopester* figured that ha would have a
tough time with Ayers today. This pair
was in the first section of the draw, as
were Baxter Sparks of Terre Haute, and
Normal Metcalf, the Riverside starlight.
The Spark* Metcalf affair was listed as
one of the feature matches of the opening
round.
All In all, the draw worked out so a*
to keep the match followers busy
throughout the tournament, and a big
unset Is going to have to come along to
make thl* tourney anything hut one of
the bistory-makers tn Indiana golf.
Johnny Simpson, former Indianapolis
crack. Is suffering from a wrenched
Shouider, and is having a hard time
keeping in line for the big matches. He
Is showing plenty of determination to
keep going, however, and there are a
great many golf enthusiasts present who
are pulling for him to catch Ids share of
what good breaks there may be run
ning around loose.
A lot of "unknown qualities" con
tinued to show their unexpected clas*
in yesterday s eighteen holes, Btid whis
perings of a dark horse champion arc
rapidly gaining ground.
Tweed Sparks has teen playing clever
golf over the local course and a gTeat
scrap is expected in the second round
when he and Johnny Simpson meet In
the third division. That is, providing
they win tbelr flr*t, round encounters.
The golfer* were not the only on**
glad to see play perk up a hit on the
second day. Th ' greatest tourney" boy*
also felt a hit weak In the knees after
those poor scores of Monday. Tbl*
course I* tho original little Chinese
puzzle.
French Lick has been asked to invite
the .State tourney there in 1922. It 1* un
derstood that Mtind* would not mind
taking over the meet for next year.
Ainsworth Byrnes, Lafayette youth,
w ho took low medal in 1920. failed to get
in with tbe first thirty two this trip.

Camels are made for Men who
Think for Themselves
Such folks know real quality—and DEMAND it.
They prefer Camels because Camels give them the smooth
est, mellowest smoke they can buy—because they love the
mild, rich flavor of choicest tobaccos, perfectly blended—and
DlrtfH because Camels leave NO CIGARETTY AFTERTASTE,
yj Like every man who does his own thinking, you want fine
tobacco in your cigarettes. You’ll find it in Camels.
And, mind you, no flashy package just for show, No extra
wrappers! No costly frills. These things don’t improve the
smo ke any more than premiums or coupons.
But QUALITY! Listen! That’s CAMELS!

Ruth Means to Do Best
to Please Fans Here on
His Visit Next Tuesday
Babe Ruth, king of swat, has a soft
spot in his heart for Indianapolis. The
royal greeting he received on his visit
to this city last sunoner deeply impressed

against the Indians In the South St. Pat
rick's day he expressed a desire to ap
pear at Indianapolis again.

ents on his 1920 visit here and he stated
that the sincere manner in which the
great crowd acted toward him that day
made him want to come back. Therefore,
fans can* rest assured that whan the
“Bambino” unpacks his bats at Washing
ton Park next Tuesday he’ll be in a mood
to crash the ball to distant parts. He
plans to take- long batting practice be
fore tha exhibition game between his
team and the Indians and of course he’ll
send that ball singing out of lot.
Ruth s visit here is for the entertain
ment of out-of-town fans as well as city
baseball followers and ticket reservations
from surrnouding towns are being re
ceived at Washington Park.
Fan* are urged to get their tickets
early in order to avoid the rush at the
gates Tuesday, beonu&e the earlier the
fan gets in the park tho more he’ll see
of Babe and his bat. In uddUion to
Ruth, other stars of the New York Amer
icans will play in the big game.

far as Ireland, he said.
Vaughn Ruled Out on
Ruling by the Judge
CHICAGO. Aug. 10.—Big Jim Vaughn, |
temperamental left-hander, probably is
lost to the Chicago Cubs rnr tb<* re
mninder of the season as tbe result of a
ruling by Judge K M Landis, baseball
commissioner. Judge Landis placed 1
Vaughn in tbe inelig ble list indefinitely.
Vaughn xvas suspended by the Cubs
for deserting the club in New York, but i
the suspension was lifted, so far as the
club was concerned yesterday.
Judge Landis held that Vaughn, during
tbe period of his suspension, had disre
garded his contract with the Cubs and
had signed to play with the Fairbanks-
More* club of Beloit, a semi-pro. organi
zation. Vaughn admitted to the judge
that he had pitched a game for the
“Fairies.”
Judge Landis intimated that Vaughn's
case might be reopened at a later date,
but not until after the present season.

MID-WEEK TWIN
BILL AT PARK
With Danforth Out of Way,
Indians Step Out After
Fair of Wins.
Two games at the ball yard this after
noon, Senators vs. Indians twice, all for
the one price.
Mid-week double-headers usually draw
well In this city and the contests today
were expected to attract a big bunch of
rooters.
The Indians were expected to have their
heads up again after having 'em lowered
somewhat by Dandy Dave Danforth yes
terday. who burled the Senators to a 8
to 1 win over the Tribe. Dandy Dave
was in rare form and there wasn't much
doing in the Hoosier hit column. Shin
ners and Rehg located his puzzlers for
two safeties each, but the other Indians
seemed to believe it was no use trying
against the ace of the Columbus staff.
Harry Weaver gave Danforth a stiff ar
gument for the day's pitching honors and
he would have finished even with Dave
had be been given alr-tlght, up-to-the
second support, for two of the Senators
who scored should have beep, retired.
It was a hard game for Weaver to lose,
but even so it is no disgrace to lose to
Danforth. Dave belongs in the big
leagues.
Rogge and Petty were on the progTam
to hurl for the Indians today. Jake
Northrop, whom the qSnators obtained in
a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers re
cently, was expected to twirl one of the
afternoon contests for the Senators.
Ralph Shinners poled out two triples
off Danforth yesterday and they were
regular hits. One went far over High's
head in center and the other went to the
fence in left center. Ralph scored the
Tribe's only run in the ninth on his
second triple and Sicking's out.
Walter Rehg's two blows were solid
singles. Rehg usually hits well against
Danforth.
Danforth is said to be a “cheat hall”
pitcher, but no one seems to be able to
discover his trick.
Eight Indians struck out. Dixon fell
a Tictim twice.
Stolen bases went to Herzog, Pechous
and Batrd.
In tbe first inning Scbreib*r did not
take advantage of a possible double play
chance aud the man scored later. In the
fifth Baird dropped Dixon's throw to
catch Pechous dashing for third and the
Senator trotted borne a moment later on
Murphy's hit. These two “breaks” were
enough to put Danforth over.
Eddie Morphy got three hits and a
wait for the Senators.
Weaver *s< wild, but he was unusually
effective in tbe pinches and wonld have
beaten almost any hurler other than Dan
forth.
Danforth hit two batsmen, Morrison
and Dixon.
Butch Henlin* caught the full route for
tbe Philly Nationals against the Reds
yesterday' He got one bit out of four
trips.
The Philly Nationals are hot after
Bruno Betzcl. second baseman of the
lajuisville Club. They offered a big price
for Bruuo, tut the Colonels asked an
enormous sum Now it looks as though
it will be a trading proposition Ray
Miller. Phil inflelder, already has been
sent to the Colonels, which probably Is
tbe start of a deal thsr will send Betxe!
back io the majors. The Phils want
Bruno to fill Goldie Rapp's shoes at third,
Goldie being ont of the game because of
illness.
A. R. C.S URUPPLED.
ATLANTIC CITY. Ang. 10.—With
Catcher Mackay and Second Baseman
Day both out of the game with broken
fingers the Facharach Giants were able
to take the odd and final game of their
series with the A. B. C.s here Tnesday
by the score of 4 to 2. Johnson and
Treadwell engaged in a pitching duel,
but the Hoosier twirler's support cracked
