8 NEWS of the DAY IN —H THE SPORT WORLD Eddie Ash SERIES WITH LEADERS OPENS AT TRIBE LOT Millers and Indians Clash in First Round—Saints Take Last One. RACE IS SENSATIONAL Opening of the “tig" series today! Millers ts. Indians in the first clash of a round of ball games that are ex pected to provide oodles of thrills to Washington Park customers for four days. The American Association race is be coming nerve-racking with the Millers, Indians and Saints separated by only a few point.-;. It is one of the warmest races of league history and it probably will continue warm as the three clubs stack np just about even. . The defeat of the Indians by the Saints yesterdav, 5 to 2. lost the Hoosiers some ground, but the Millers also got trimmed of a few points when they were beaten out by the Colonels at Louisville. The Saints' was the club that profited by the day's events and they left here for Louis ville with three out of five games taken from the Tribesmen. The contest yesterday was booted away. The Indians were leading. 2 to 0. In the sixth and no hits had been ob tained off Carmen Hill when the fire works started. In the seventh stanza Berghammer, first up, was safe on Slck ing’s error and Boone got a life on Baird's misplay. Berghammer was hit by Armstrong’s batted ball when a dou ble play was in sight. Armstrong got a hit on the ball under the rules and that infield drive went as the first safety off HilL Gonzales filed out, but Weiss, bat ting for iPtcher Martin, delivered a single, scoring Boone. Christensen fol lowed with a single, scoring Armstrong and Weiss. That made three runs over before the side was retired. Three markers were enough to beat the In dians, but the Saints made their mar gin of victory more decisive by adding two more runs in tbe ninth Inning. The Indians were in a batting slump again and they obtained only seven hits. They were off in the field also and it was an easy matter for the Saints to win after Die Tribe defense was punctured. It was a hard loss for Hill. | but the fans gave him plenty of credit. ] regardless of the defeat, for it was very ; piain that the contest was lost In the field and not in the box. Pat Shea was slated to open on the mound for the Indians this afternoon. Pat’s first appearance with the Tribe was last Sunday when he shut out the Saints in the second game of the double header. Hank Sehrelber hit a home run in the second inning . terday and got him self a collection of prizes, the latest of fered being a case of Van Camp pork and beans. Harry Purcell batted for Morrison in the ninth and was struck out by Tom Sheehan. On Tuesday Purcell pinch hit and drove out a hairier. What a differ ence a few, hours make! Eddie Brown got two of the Tribe's seven safeties yesterday. Windy Lotshaw was banished from the coaching lines in the eighth when be razzed Umpire Connolly. Krueger hit a terrific drive to right field in the fourth on which Rlggert backed up to the fenee and caught. “'Bug” Christensen and Haas each gpt two hits for the Saints. The Saints did not get a hit until the seventh Inning, but they had nine when the game finished. It certainly was a peculiar contest. The Miller vets, always popular here, came up from Louisville late last night. Beb Russell. Indianapolis player with the Flour City crew, is still pounding the ball. In fact all of the Cantillon pastimers are pretty good , hitters. Erratic fielding on the part of some of the players is affecting the hitting of a few of the athletes. The Millers are here for four days. After the Sunday performance the In dians will leave for a trip on the road. ‘Ladies’ day" and ''kids’ day" again today. Last ‘‘ladies' day" of the week tomorrow.

(Billy) Disch, has Just piloted the University of Texas Long horns to their eleventh consecutive south western baseball championship under his coaching. Disch is an old Texas League baseball player, and has turned out many a university youngster to the leagues. Bib Falk of the Chicago White Sox Is one of his products. Bill Killefer of the Chicago Cubs was one of his pupils. The eleventh consecutive champion ship this year merits the Longhorns’ claim to being the classiest baseball team of colleges and universities south of the Mason and Dixon line. In 1914 Disch achieved a world record when his team won twenty-two straight games, a single loss while on a tour through the widwest being the only break In the string.

AMATEUR DON’TS. AND PERT POINTERS The old saying that practice makes perfect is very true In the case of young baseball players. It's the ones who love the game that become expert. Don t think that a natural aptitude for the game is enough to get you by. Like mt everything else good ball players have become stars In the national sport through the process of many hard knocks and hard work. Don't be satisfied with mediocre performance, bnt look at your faults squarely and strive to correct th:m. No player Is so good that he ran not improve. It’s the ones who learn something every game they play that develop Into grvot performer *. If you are anxious to Improve you’ll feel bad about your mistakes and won’t make the same one twice. ENGLISH GOLF STARS LEAD AT START OF MEET Ray and Taylor Get Away Good—Barnes, Hagen and Hutchison in Running. FEAR YANK ‘BIG THREE’ SANDWICH, England, June 22.—Ted Ray and J. H. Taylor, two British play ers. led the field today at the close of the first eighteen holes in the British open golf championships. Ray and Taylor both went around In 73. The tourney is for seventy-two boles of medal play. G. Faulkner was second with a 74 and seven players were tied for third place with a 75, including Jim Barnes, the American champion, and Audrey P. Boomer, who drove off first this morning. Walter Hagen, American favorite for the title, went around in 76. George Da can and Alexander Herd, noted British professionals, got away to a good start in the first eighteen holes. Each turned in a 76. The Americans, Walter Hagen, Jim Barnes and Jock Hutchison, who is the playing through champion, were the cen ter of interest. The feeling is growing here that one of the three will win the title. Cyril Tolley, British amateur cham pion of 1920, virtually eliminated him self by shooting 87. Jock Hutchison, defending champion, and Joe Kirkwood, the Australian, both turned in a 79. Abe Mitchell also got a 79. George Duncan was one of the first to turn in a full total for thirty six holes, following his seventy-six of the morning with a seventy-five in the after noon for a total of 151 strokes. Barnes was the steadiest of the Amer ican entries, being consistent in all de partments of play. His driving, ap proaching and putting were uniformly good and splendid chip shots on several occasions kept him away from bunkers. Mitchell placed himself under a heavy handicap for the final 36 holes when he brought in another 79 for the afternoon round, a full total of 158. seven strokes I behind. Duncan, the nominal leader in the early rounds. Other scores were: Roger Wethered. 76-78—154; Alex Herd. 76-79 155 and. Boomer of France, 75-80—155.

They scored seven runs in the last two innings, driving Collins off the premises, but Olsen's ineffective pitching and R'gney's error had given the Sox too loug a lead. The Phils' three runs against Aldridge were accounted for by a pair o fhotners by Parkinson and another by Lee, but that wag ail. The Cubs won the abbre viated game 6 to 3. smiting Smith aud Singleton right lustily. The obstreperous White Sox came from behind with a two-run rally In the ninth, beating the Washington Senators, 6 to 4, and now are tied with 'he Cleveland Indians for fourth place. Visions of the old pastimes engaged in by the married and single men at the water works were recalled as the Dodg ers beat the Pirates, 15 to 14. With Ruth on the sidelines, the Yanks won their second Straight from the Cleveland Indians, 7 to 2, hammering K v rls and I'hle. while Shawkey breezed along in the most approved style. Rommel set the Browns down with four hits and a 5-tn-0 defeat, the only feature of which was the fact that Sisler took unto himself his twenty fifth stolen base. Billy Evans Says (Editor's Note—This Is the second of a series of three articles by Billy Evans on major league mid season baseball dope.l Giants Still Appear Best in National The team that beats the New York Giants w r ill win the pennant in the Na tional League. That is substance is the prediction of ail the baseball experts prior to the opening of the season. On tl e showing of the clubs so far In the race that opinion still holds good. Asa matter of fact, the work covering the first third of the race has strengthened the belief. In only one respect have the Giants disappointed so lar—on the road. At the Polo Grounds McGraw's club hus been unbeatable. One the road it has been only so-so aggregation. The Giants have a great ball club. It lanks with the old-time star aggre gations like the Cubs and Athletics, when those two teams were at the top of their game. New York has a great Infield, is strong back of the plate and in the outfield. The pitching is perhaps not ail that might be desired, but leave that problem to McGraw to solve. If the Giants pitchers were showing the form they did against the Yankees in the world series McGraw wouldn't have a worry. Pittsburgh and St. Louis look like the most formidable contenders for the runner-up honors while Brooklyn, Chicago, Cincinnati and Boston Blight be rated as the dark horses. „ -I- -I- -1* -I' -i- ->* Boston Disappointment in Early Stages Boston got away to a very bad start and disappointed badly in the early stages of the National league race. Os late the club has been playing the game it is capable of and Is closing up the gap. Mitchell says he will be sat isfied with nothing worse than fourth. Pitching is usually the problem that confronts every club. Pitching, or k of pitching, has played havoc with the Cardinals and Pirates. Cooper, the star of the Pittsburgh staff and one of t game's greatest left handers, has not won with his usual consistency. Grimes, the star of the Brooklyn staff, had trouble hitting his stride. Alexander of Chicago has had varying success. V.’hen the star of a team's staff has trouble winning It raises havoc with the team in general. Grimes of Brooklyn appears to have recovered his form. With Reuther going great and several of the recruits showing well, Brooklyn will probably be very troublesome the rest of the way. But New York looms up as the class of the field. Pittsburgh and St. Louis are contenders. Brooklyn, Cincinnati, Chicago and Boston are close up, with ay of them having a chance to prove troublesome nnd break Into the first di vision. Philadelphia will probably think it Is out of the league before the race Is over. The Phillies appear destined to get the flag before coming Into the stretch. In conclusion, the team that beats th; New York Giants is going to play In the world aeries. INDIANA DAILY TIMES Standing Back-Dive AILEEN RIGGIN IN A STANDIN* G BACK-DIVE.

Stand at attention on the free end of Latest Rumor Has Willard as Jack ’s Foe on Labor Day Wills Next on Program at Montreal Some Time With in the Year. BY DAVIS J. WALSH. NEW Y’ORK, June 22.—Dempsey to pole ax Willard again, this time at Michigan City. Ind., on Labor Day; Dempsey and Wills to put on their black and white debate at Montreal some time within the year. This Is the good word thst goes out as Jack Kearns, Frank Flournoy and the worthy Mr. Rickard went Into executive session today on the moot question of Dempsey s immediate op ponents. It come* from a mau so close to the eminent Mr. Rickard that he can reach into the promoter's vest pocket with his elbow. The Montreal site la certain, provided Kearns and Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, can reach a financial agreement. This seems entirely possible In view of Kearns' statement upon his arrival here. “I never have had an offer of any kind of a purse for a Dempsey-Wills match,'' he declared. "If the New York State athletic commission wants Dempsey to fight Wills, let it produce a promoter who will make a definite bonafide offer. Then see how quickly Dempsey will do business." . . . . If the match is made the choice of Montreal Is well nigh inevitable. Po litical entanglements, it Is salt', will keep It fur from Jersey City, there Is no stadium in New York, unless Mr. Rick ard gets out and builds one large enough to make the thing a paying venture and Michigan City Is not deemed to possess the allure of the Canadian town. They have only heard In a vague way of Mr. Volstead up that way and It is thought that affluent, albeit thirsty, gentlemen will rush thither In droves. They will come ns a source of consider able comfort to the man at the box office window. „ ...... Now, for Willard. Thst Individual yearns for action against Dempsey and the champion has no wish to disappoint him Since tbe bout will draw more cash customers than the scheduled push over with Bill Brennan, the latter Is said to be out.

Valuable Pointers on T \\ Fishing for Muscallonge BY MORRIS ACKERMAN. The musealonge Is without doubt the bearcat of our fresh-water fish. Ho is frequently referred to as the “tiger of the fresh water." Call him what you will, he is more sought after than any heavy tackle smashing fin that pile* our "swept" lakes and streams. For years we have fished for this savage fellow and our deductions are the cause of this story. If you contemplate a try for the musiky you may bo Interested In what we have found out. The best time to fish for them 1* Sept. 1 to 13. Because at that time the fish are on the rocky shoals. The "next best” time of year to fish for muscallonge Is June 15 to July 1. The fish are then through spawning, are hungry and active. The best time of the day is from 4 p. m. until dark. Fishing for them after dark or on moonlight nights, a* for bass, sel dom brings success. An overcast sky is of considerable help. Likewise a light wind that makes a bit of '‘sea.” These protect your boat or canoe from Immediate detection. The most productive way of fishing Is by trolling and tbe most effective lure a double spoon, one copper, the other sil ver. Number sevens. (A dozen other lures are good.) Surely a spoon doesn't look to a 'lunge like "something to cat.” They strike It to kill. Wheu trolling, If you hold the tip of the rod straight back, parallel with the boat, yon get a straight pull in setting the hook and allow the fish no chance for slack. The fish usually strikes head-on and by holding the rod In this way you can “keep him coming” and seldom lose n strike. In June and .Toly the muscal longe Is In the weeds. Trolling along the edge of them Is naturally the placo for best results. Mile Runners Matched ST. JOSEPH, Mo..

BY HENRY FARRELL. NEW YORK, June 22,-Bahe Rath is getting the idea that he Is down and that every one is taking a lusty pedal swing at him. With his mind running on this track, the Bam Is greasing the slides ahead of him because he is not capacitated to car ry a mental burden and keep his eye on the ball. As long as he keeps one ear tuned to the stand* he always will hear something that will sink under his hide and he can’t take It. New Y’ork Is not bothering about the number of umpires that Ruth can whip, but 1* pondering over the question of whether he la “through.” He may never start hitting as long as he assumes the role of a martyr and casts about for sympathy. If he slumps In his home run hitting he is through with major league baseball, according to the opinion of many. Ruth is a high strung, nervous, tem peramental Individual with a most sen sitive disposition. He Is entertaining a terrific grouch that will keep him Just where he is If he doesn't come out of it. “COOLNESS wrrH ©fiJHERE is no plgl substitute for TAILORING in summer clothing!

IN FAST WORKOUTS LATONIA, Ky., June 22.—Although Whiskaway’s victory over Morvich in the Carleton Stakes is expected to shorten the odds on the Kentucky Derby winner In the $50,000 Latonia Special here Saturday, Ben Block's speedy colt is virtually cer tain to go to the post a favorite. That upset at Aqueduct has not convinced Mor vieh's followers that he is not the best bet entered in Saturday s rich feature. In his workouts here the son of Runny* made has turned in some mighty impres sive running. Old horsemen who have watched him agree with the statement of one of them who said: “i don t see how YV’hishaway ever beat him.” The opinion of the old campaigners seems to be that Morvich was not right in last Saturday s affair. Most of them think that his long lay off after the Kentucky Derby dulled the fine edge M his condition and that he was not in rorm. They point to the fact that Morvich's jockey had to use the whip as an indication that the Block horse, usually a fiont runner, was not himself. Reports from Aqueduct that Whiska way has been working out in wonderful form have not dampened the ardor of those who still regard Morvich as the greatest horse now running on the Amer ican turf. Whiskaway, Broomster, Olympus, Prudery and a couple other members of the Whitney stable were expected to ar rive here today. R. T. Wilson’s Pillory, picked by many as the real rival of Mor vich, also is en route. The advance guard of what is expected to be the largest crowd that ever thronged this historic track began to trickle in today. Hotels began refusing reserva tions days ago and Cincinnati, which will play hoßt to the Latonia visitors, already is wondering how it can accommodate all who will come for the race. Special plans to care for visitors have been worked out by the Chamber of Commerce and other organizations.
