STRUGGLE FOR
LEAD CREATES
WILD INTEREST
Three Games Over Week-end
Expected to Draw Huge At
tendance to Park.
WEAVER BEATS MILLERS
The biggest week end of many sea
sons was before Washington Park
fans today as the Millers and Indiana
prepared to clash In the third game
of the ‘big’ series. A 6ingle game to
day and then a double-header tomor
row comprises the week-end card and
the ball players and rooters are
worked up to a high pitch of excite
ment.
Millers, Indians and Saints are
still mixed up in a wild scramble for
the flag position in the A. A. race and
the Tribesmen had a chance to take
the lead if they downed the Cantillon-
Ites this afternoon. And If they
grabbed that one today, look out for
tomorrow! Haul out the circus seats,
the old Tribe lot surely will be filled
to capacity!
Following the game today and the
twin bill Sunday the Indians will
leave on a road trip and the rooters
mean to turn out in force in order to
help the Hendricksmen gain that top
position before they depart.
The 2 to 1 victory scored by the
Indians over the Millers yesterday put
the “old vinegar” back In the enthu
siasm of the team's supporters and
also restored confidence In the r&nkß
of the Indians. Downing the slugging
Millers in a close match Is a rare
achievement and It vas Harry
Weaver who put It across. Walter
Rehg also played a large part in the
victory when he made a remarkable
slide home in the fourth Inning and
scored what proved to be the winning
marker.
The turning point came In the
fourth inning, the score standing one
and one. Rehg was on third with one
Hoosier down. Schreiber pushed a
hot skipping grounder to Jourdan
down the first base line and Jourdan
speared it, touched first and shot the
ball home to head off Rehg. Mayer
received the throw in time to com
pllfe the second end of the double
plaV started by Jourdan, but he did
not%et down low enough and Rehg
6quirunted under him.
The Millers started a rally in the
seventh that looked flourishing until
Cravath, pinch hitting for Pitcher Mc-
Graw, stepped to the plate and waved
his bat at three of Weavers curves
while three mates danced on the base
lines and were left stranded.
The Millers put over their lone
marker In the third when Jourdan
rapped the ball for an inside-the-park
homer. It was a terrific smash to
deep left center and Jourdan com
pleted the circuit and scored stand
ing up. The Indians first run also
came in the third. when Weaver
doubled, advanced on Baird's sacrifice
and scored on Sicklng's single.
Magee batted for Browne in the
seventh and got an infield hit. Ron
deau and Jennings had just hit safely
and the bases were filled when Magee
beat one out down the third-base line.
This brought Cravath from the dug
out and the Hoosier fans shook in
fear. But Gavvy must have had
ruSty lamps, for he didn't even foul
one.
Walter Rehg was chased by Um
pire Connelly in the eighth. He hit
a roller in front cf the plate and was
struck by the thrown ball when Haid
pegged to first. Connolly accused
Waite- of running inside the base line
and ruled him out for interference.
This led to an argument’and Itehg
was banished.
In the second inning Russell, first
up, walked and stole second. Mayer
fanned and Rondeau did likewise
Jennings grounded toward left and
the ball struck Russell, thereby caus
lng him to be retired automatically.
Claude Jonnard. with his down In
Dixie flippers, was slated to hurl
against the Millers this afternoon.
Hill and Selb are the probable
fEribe box selections for the twin bill
Sunday.
Bleacher seats obtained from Indi
ana University will be erected In the
field Sundavrto take care of the over
i Row crowd, jf The temporary bleachers
seat ufjout 3,000, it is said.

WAGNER GETS MAJOR TRIAL.
Earl Wagner, who pitched and
played the outfield for Purdue “U”
\ this last season, left Indianapolis Fri
' day to join the St. Louis American
League club for a try-out. Wagner
is a southpaw pitcher and attracted
the attention of scout? by his natural
i ability. While not pitching he piayed
j the outfield because of h.s hitting
prowess. He was also a football
j player, being a star in the back field.
| His home is in Indianapolis. He was
j formerly a Technical High School all
round athlete.
Billy llvans Says
Good Southpaw Pitchers Becoming Scarce Article
Wbat is becoming of the southpaw pitchers?
.i V le , oth ? r day, while discussing pitching In the majors with a couple of
ike National League umpires, I remarked:
"" bat. good looking left-handed pitchers broke into your league this year ?*’
.None, replied one of the arbitrators.
••Bill Bailey Is the best looking left-hander that has broken into the league
in a couple of years, ’ replied the other.
That struck me as rather interesting, since Bill Bailey had his chance la
the American League for three or four seasons, then dropped back into t' e
minors.
For about ten years he was shunted around In the bushes, only to come
hack last season with the St. Louis Cardinals for his second big chance in the
majors.
Here was a fellow who had been pitching for fifteen years, .•oming back for
his second chance, and being classed as about the best looking southpaw that
hag debuted in the National League for a couple of years.
Conditions in the American League hare been very much similar, although
perhaps not quite as bad as expressed by my brother umpires of the National.
••• • • .
Heimach and Pruett Are Most Promising
Southpaws of the Xehf-Cooper style or the Waddel-Plank standard are
certainly few and far between. All of which brings us back again to the remark:
"U hat about the southpaws? Are they becoming exinct?"
Last fall the St. Louis Browns of the American League gave eleven players
for Dave Danforth. This further tends to show the scarcltv of southpaws, be
cause Danforth previously had two trials in the American League.
Os all the southpaw recruits t ied out in the spring by the eight American
League clubs, only two have shown up to advantage. I have reference to Fred
Heimach of the Athletics and Herb Pruett of the St Louis Browns.
Helmacb has turned in several mighty good games for the Athletics. He
has a thirteen-inning victory to hla credit over “Bed" Faber and a 4-to-3 win
over the veteran Bob Shawkey. He hag promise.
This fellow Pruett of the Browns threatens to be a much talked about
young man before Uke season Is over. Possibly the chances of the Browns to
win the American League pennant may to a certain extent depend on this col
leg* southpaw
LAVELL-GLICK
SCRAP CLOSED
Flashy Lightweights to Battle
in Semi-Windup on Ryan-
O’Dowd Card.
Louie La veil of Anderson and Sid
ney Glick of this city, lightweights,
today were matched to battle over the
eight-round route July 3 in the semi
windup to the Tommy Ryan-Eddie
O’Dowd bantam match at Washing
ton park. Lavelle and Glick fought
a sensational bout at Ft. Benjamin
Harrison some time ago and fans
have been clamoring since for local
promoters to re match the boys.
Matchmakers Dillon and Gorman of
the Progress A. C. finally got the boys
together on terms and the match‘was
closed today.
There will be two six-round pre
liminaries on the card and the first
prelim was closed today. Charlie
Winters and Joe Dillon, local 124-
pound boys, will engage in it. Wint
ers always outs up a good scrap and
Dillon Is r. -ted for his punching
ability. Maxie Epstein will be matched
with a good lad at his weight for the
second prelim of the July 3 card. "
Tommy Ryan, who meets O'Dowd
in the main go. is busy here training
for the big bout and O’Dowd is doing
the same thing at his home in Co
lumbus. Ohio. These banties are
among the class of the country and
they are sure to give the fans a great
fight.
Reach Semi-Finals
. in City Net Meet;
Favorites Winning
Bastion and Burdick Doped to
Clash for Title in Match
Tomorrow.
Semi-finals today and finals tomor
row bring to a close the city tennis
tourney being held on the Hawthorn
courts. The greatest interest centers
in the men’s singles in which Fritz
Bastian was to meet JohmJJaugherty
and Ralph Burdick was to take on
Jack McKay this afternoon. The fa
vorites have come through the meet
about a3 expecte 1 and if Bastian and
Burdick win today and meet Sunday
in the finals the dopesters will be lot
ting true to form.
One match in the women's singles
and four in the mixed doubles com
pleted the program of the day.
The feature of Friday's play was the
doubles match between Burdick Bas
tian and Starbifr.'k-Ehlers. It resulted
in a victory for the first pair, but only
after a struggle. The score was 36,
6-2, 6-3, 11-9. Bast an and Burd ck,
who are considered one of the best
teams in the Middle West, got away
to a bad start, but came back strong
to take the next two sets. Then Star
buck and Ehlers braced and fought on
even terms, but finally went down be
fore the finished play of the winners.
Bastian and Burd.ck are big favorites
to win the doubles Sunday. They will
meet McKay and Appel, who Friday
defeated the B. Bastian-Kohn pair.
Mrs. Adams gave some women a
good chance to win the city t.tle by
leaving Friday for the Illinois State
tourney. She was a favoritte to cop
the singles title as she stood out above
the other players.
In the mixed doubles Friday Ha
worth and Haworth. Adler and Fisher.
Pugh and Pugh and Dixon and Stev
enson were winners. Adams and
Adams defaulted because Mrs. Adams
left for the Illinois meet.

GREAT RACERS
FACE BARRIER
IN RICH STAKE
Morvich, Whiskaway and Pil
lory Center of Interest in
Latonia, Special.
BLOCK’S COLT FAVORITE
LATONIA. Ky., June 24.—A new
king of the American turf was to
be crowned at the historic track here
this afternoon.
Six of the greatest thoroughbreds
in the country were to go to the
post in the $50,000 Latonia Special,
prepared to race' their hearts out in
an effort to get under the wire a win
ner. The largest throng that ever
packed the stands here was expected
to cheer the winner, regardless of
which horse it hapuened to be.
Cherry Tree and John Finn were
withdrawn from the race early to
day. This left six stijl in the stake—•
Morvich. Whiskaway, Olympus, Pil
lory. Tribodeaux and Deadlock.
That a heart breaking race was In
prospect was almost universally bo
iieved this morning. More than the
rich money prize was at stake. The
reputations of famous horses, trainers
and Jockeys was involved.
Morvich, who wears a Russian
name, but runs like a true son of
the American track, was out to prove
that Whiskaway was lucky when he
showed his heels to the Ben Block
colt a week ago at Aqueduct. Whisk
avray was deteimined to prove that
his victory was an honest one and one' -
that could be repeated. Pillory,
R. T. Wilson's swift 3 year-old, which
has captured more than $90,000 la
prizes this season, hoped to add to
that record today and also achieve
the distinction of running away from
Morvich and Whiskaway.
Then there was Deadlock, the hope
of Biuegrass Kentucky; Thibodeaux,
and Olympus, who hoped that some
stray wind of fortune would blow
them across the line a winner.
The consensus of opinion seemed
to be that the race would lie between
Morvich. Whiskaway and Pillory’,
but there is always the ‘ dark horse”
lurking in the background. If either
of the three favorites —or all of
them —ran out their endurance in the
early stages trying to grab off a. com
manding lead, some of the others were
expected to come out of the ruck and
scamper home a winner.
The colt that emerges victor today,
however, undoubtedly will be recog
nized as the monarch of the season
in racing circles.
