Vice President Smith of the Indians
closed a deal with the New York Yankees
Wednesday whereby that galaxy of big

West Washington street lot Sept. %, and
the contract calls for the Yankees to
appear with their regular lineup.
Negotiations for the contest have been
on the fire for some time and in order to
cIinch the appearance of the seeker king
here, Smith had to outbid several other
cities. But Smith was there with the
top price and through his efforts Indi-

Ruth has amassed a total Of forty three

SOX LEAD BY
THREE GAMES
Chicago Well on Road to Pen
nant in American.

Based on what has happened within
the last few weeks. the Chicago White
Sox today are on the road to a repe
tition of their 1919 championship of the
American league.
The Yankees have faltered and skidded
so badly that they have played only
second division baseball. The Cleveland
Indians have done a bit better, but the
latest invasion of eastern fields, largely
due to the saddening influence of Ray
Chapman's death, has been anything
but good for the Cleveland standing.
The White Sox have been quick to
take advantage of the situation. Start
ing their attack when the Yankees were
last visitors IN Chicago the Sox drove
forward at their expense and then kept
up the battle when they reached the
other clubs. They went into first place
while in the east and are still there.
Today the Yankees and White Sox
open their closing eastern engagement
at the Polo grounds. The Sox start
this series with lead over the Yanks
Of three full games. In order to pull
therefore, Il IS mp to the Yauks to mako
clean sweep of the series.
The part played by the Philadelphia
Athletics may be to keep some American
league team from winning a pennant.
The Athletics stepped in and won from
Cleveland yesterday, and at this stage
important bearing on the championship.
The National league race remained IN
changed as to leadership today, Brook
lyn, Cincinnati and New York all win
ming yesterday.

BREWERS AGAIN
TRIM HOLSTERS

MILWAUKEE,, Aug. 26.-The Indians
faced the task of either beating the
Brewers today or seeing the series go
to Jack Egan's outfit. ROgge or Cavet
was slated to try mound duty
The Brewers gained a big advantage
yesterday by repeating their Tuesday
achievement of grabbing the honors, the
score of the second battle being 10 TO 2.
WhitehOuse was off form and proved
easy for the Milwaukee batsmen, though
it must b. said that Whiteys support
was erratic. The HoOsiers opened the
game by threatening to. sew things up
early on Jake Northrop, but JAKE later
settled while WhitehOuse weakened.
When the Brewers finally got the
range they bombarded the Tribe lefty
with hits of all kinds until he was forced
to retire in favor of Cav. The Indian
relief pitcher stopped the onslaught, but
it was far too late for the HOosiers to
recover because the Brewers had piled
up a safe lead.
Artie Butler, veteran Brewer second
sacker, was the individual star of the
contest. He got 4 single, double and
homer and also performed efficiently in
the field. Rehg and Covington hit best
for the Indians.
Kelley and Smith had their usual
arguments with the Milwaukee fans,
which didn't help the Indian cause any.

Indianapolis will be introduced to

today to establish a nine-h hole practice
course in connection with the South
Grove links go through.
The park board, according to Superin-
tendent James II. Lowry, proposes to
purchase the strip Of land just across
the Eighteenth street road, south Of the
South Grove clubhouse, extending from
Parkview boulevard west to White river,
and from Eighteenth street south to the
new road cut through north of the old
Speedway road. Eighteenth street will
be closed when the course is built.
The land is now owned by the Indian
apolis Water Company.

Lowry stated today that the ground
probably will be purchased by the city
in time to let Harry Schopp, South
Grove professional, start the work OF
laying out the course this fall SO that
it will be in shape for the beginners next
year.
Schopp already has his plans for the
course drawn and states that ii will

These new players are as welcome az
the flowers in May, but the time is rap
