 After all the Indian Sign" is but another name for fear, or lnt1m1dat- ing respect Remember Joe Walcotr, ,, the Giant Killer. Joe, although only a we1ter whipped Joe Choyiniskl and other good heavies. But three boxers near his own weight, one put

Americans Stumble
 Over Chick Davies
New Haven Wins Game at Newfeld Park Where Record Crowd Gathers to Watch Bridge
 port Fall,

Bridgeport stumbled over Pitcher Chick Davies of the New Haven out fit yesterday afternoon at Newfield park and lost the game, to 2, which put the visitors on an even basis in the league standing at the top of the heap. Davies was the whole show. Only four hits were allowed by him during the entire matinee and not once during the entire scrimmage was he in the least danger of slip ping.
 What he didn't have was something that Marty Walsh did have so the visitors just jumped into the local boxman and finding him for ten hits made enough tallies to win any ordi- nary ball game. There was a record Monday crowd on hand to witness the downfall of the Americans.
 Ray Grimes got on in the second frame through a. base on balls, went to second on Roy Grimes infield tap and scored on Joseph's error on a throw to catch Ray at third In the third the visitors overcame the lead and made one better on three hits, .sacrafice and a wild heave. Bat count in the fourth when the Grimes brothers both hit safely and a wild heave to catch a runner on base.
 The sixth brought defeat to the Wa3shmen. Simpson singled to cen ing third on an infie1d out Joseph squeezed Simpson in. Torpy went to second from where he scored when Christie singled. It was the final run of the game. The score: NeW Haven

CHAIN WINS FIRST.

The American Chain team took the first game of the three-game series with the Po1i club in Hartford Sun day afternoon at Poli Field, winning a keenly-contested game, to 5. The visitors took the jump in the open ing frame, when Briggs opened by drawing a pass. He raced to second on O'ConnelTs neat sacrifice. Sher- wood hit to Clark, the ball taking a bad hop, and Briggs went to third. the batter reaching first.
 Sherwood stole second, and Sank came through with a single; both run ners toed the plate. The visitors add ed a run in each of the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. Beecher, who was on the mound for the locals, 1abored under a handicap all the way, having his index finger split in the first in- ming. He managed to go the route, however, and pitched fine ball, strik- ing out eleven batsmen. Freddie Butler led with the willow, nickine Browns offerings for double and l two singles. Wing Murphy worked behind the bat in Billy Evans style | while Jack Pagan took care of ths bases,

PEACE PENNANT IS
 LOUISVILLE WINNER

Louisville, May 1s-W. F. Polson's Peace Pennant found the track at Churchill Downs to his liking yester- day afternoon and won the Louisville Hotel Handicap at mile and a quar- ter with ridiculous ease. There were only three starters, and the win ner had an advantage of six lengths over Sterling at the finish, while Golden Broom was bad last.
 Peace Pennant followed closely the pace set by Sterling for nearly a, mile and then moved up and drew away readily, in spite of the fact that he carried the top weight of 126 pounds. Golden Broom proved rather conclu- sfvely that he is a sprinter only.

Indianapolis, Ind, May 1S-Euro- peans who succeed in triumphing in this years Indianapolis 500-nile sweepstakes will be forced to post pone their customary celebration un- til they return to Paris.
 In former years it was the custom to fete the victors around the flowing g bowl immediately after the contest, but Uncle sam can't see it that way this year.
 American contestants are envying their overseas rivals for their oppor- tunity to stage any kind of a cele- hration at all, since the best they will get in the event of victory, will bear { the familiar restriction of less than A of per cent.

MOTOR COP WINNER OF PIMLICO FEATURE

Baltimore, May 18-Commander J. K. L. Ross's fleet spr1nter Motor Cop, which pulled up very lame after his first start of the season at Havre de Grace, came back in fine form at Pimlico yesterday afternoon and quite easily captured the Stafford Handicap at six furIongs defeating Samuel Ross's Crank by two length while Milkmaid, a stablemate of the winner, was third
 In his previous start Motor Cop went lame in the stretch and was de- feated by Pickwick. It was with some difficulty that he was taken back to his stall. But he gave no evidence yesterday of having been a recent cripple. He had all of his old time speed and, breaking in front, was quickly rushed into long lead He opened up a gap of four lengths, and because of this advantage was eased up slightly at the finish Milk maid followed the pace all the way to the stretch, but there Crank slip ped through on the inside and, racing neck and neck with Mifkmaid, fin ally outgamed the lilly and took sec ond by a neck.

PAL MOORE REFUSES
 TO BOX JOE LYNCH

A disparity of one and one-quarter pounds, with the 11S-pourrd limit stipulated in the contract signed by both boxers, caused a postponement of the sch etnIIed 12-round bout be- tween Joe Lynch, West Side bantam weight, and Pal Moore of Memphis, which was to have been fought at the Armory A. A. outdoor arena in Jersey City last night. The bout will be contested next Monday night.
 Lynch carried the excess avoirdu- pois, and, while Moore, with a true display of sportsmanship, declined to claim Lynch's $500 weight forfeit, the Memphis bantamweight nevertheless refused to enter the ring against Lynch while the latter had a weight advantage over him in excess of that which was provided for in the signed articles for the bout As a compro- mise Moore agreed to a weeks post ponement.

 Some people could never under stand how George Chip twice knock ed out Frank Klaus, former middle weight king. Klaus expected it af- ter the first sleep pokes. Jim Cof- fey, New York's fighting motorman was tearing along the rails to the heavyweight title a few years ago Coffey had the ear-marks or a cham pion-until he met Frank Moran Frank knocked him out and then duplicated the trick. Now no one speaks of the Indian Sign' without mentioning Moran and the powerful influence he yields over the burly Roscommon giant, who usually man aged to beat the Pittsburgh boxer un- til he foundered on Mary Ann. V Carpenter knocked Wells, the Eng fish heavy, out after receiving a ter rible knock down. His dauntless- ness created an Indian Sign' on Wells. "Bomby' was so unnerved in

 Willie Meehan has been mentioned as Dempsey's ''man of destiny,'' be- cause of his four round defeats o1 the champion. But Carpenter, or forms, should have the call as the instrument of heavenly prophecies

 Jack Curley, '"The Prince of Pro moters,'' so called. has recorded him self of the belief that Georges Car pentier is man of destiny and that it is Gin the stars for the gallant Gaul to smack the title away from our Jack Dempsey-shouid they ever square off in the ring. Of course it should be taken into consideration that Cur1ey is financially interested in the pugilistic features of aCarpen- tier, and is also being mentioned as the promoter of the proposed tftular encounter between the daEsper Georges and the Toledo Minataur. It should also be noted, however, that Curley is generally genuinely sincere in every thing he says and that he is a judge of fighters. It will be recalled that he selected Dempsey to whip Will lard, asserting the Kansan would quit early in the battle. He also doped Willard to vanquish Johnson. In both instances he backed up his opinion with pe1f.
 All of which opens up the interest ing discussion whether or not there are men of destiny" disclosing al the same time the sinister operations of that eSoteric sopething-the sIn-

Budapest, May 1s.---Adam did not wear a beard, according to the dictrn of M. Terey. director of the Hunga- rian National Art Museum, who has ehnint.ted the great ancestors mfr suit adornment in restoring Jor- daens' famous picture Adam and Eve" The picture shows Adam look ing at the apple and Eve listening to the serpent in the spaendors of Eden. Examination of the canvas has showE the beard was not a. part of the orisS- inal picture but was painted on dur. ing the last century wf1eI HDeards were popular. In the restored work Mere fore, Adam is shown clean shavep. Many objected to the beard because 1t made Adam look too much like the proverfbia1 Bolshevik, but this consd. eration did not enter into the decisior of M. Terey.
 This canvas was one that escaped the fury of the Communists. It was the property of Count Karaosony1~ who gave it to a leader of the Red Guard for having aided in saving & valuable collection. Later the picture was sold to the museum fer ae0e. 600 /
