of tandem and triplet bikes, two teams
mounted on bicycles built for two two,
and two teams mounted on machines for

not been seen on racing track since

state championship honors. Riders from
Terre Haute, South Bend and Evansville,
! as well as indianapolis and other cities,

association, will supervise the state fair

Little Chance of Ray
and Vardon Coming Here
at Present Booking Rate

There is little possibility of Edward
Ray. English golfer, who won the ma
tional open championship at Toledo yes
terday, and Harry Yardon, his partner in
"A tour of the United States, playing in
Indianapolis unless they announce a
half price SALE in their booking dates.
Ed Hedden, Riverside superintendent,
stated today that there has been some
talk among Indianapolis golfers of
bringing the famous Englishmen here for
exhibition matches, following their Sep
TENDER dates at Kokomo, Ind, but an
investigation into the affair showed that
they would ask 81 900 for showing here,
and this is believed to be higher than
necessary.
Indianapolis clubs, it is said, are will
ing to pay Yardon and Ray $500 for
an exhibition here, but would not go
above that mark.
If Ray and Vardon are booked in In
dianapolis it will be during the early
part of September, according to Hedden.

to rebuke the athletes for their stands
on several questions. Justice Weeks and
Gustavus Kirby, prominent members, ad-
dressed the men.
What would you do II the committee
were to quiti" Justice Weeks inquired.

answer.

Yanks and Browns in -
One of Record BOners

Here is a new bone play pulled in the
American league, players Of the Yankees
and Browns being guilty:
Aaron Ward Of the Yankees was on
first. A pitched ball grazed the shirt of
Sam Bick at bat and, claiming he was
hit, he started for first base Ward
seeing him coming, trotted down to
second.
The umpire, however, refused to allow
Wick to take his base for being hit by
a pitched ball and called him back to
bat. Whereupon Ward turned around
and slowly walked back to first base
Ward technically had stolen second
base and was entitled TO ii. But no St
Louis player attempted to interfere with
him returning to first or made any move
to tag him off that bag, which was the
one he legally held, and the only one.
The game went on.

that of the, team Larry has been with
half, since 1907.
Larrys sudden return 10 something
like the form he knew some seasons
back has had a great deal to do with
the brace the Giants have taken. He
is playing ball better right now than
he has in many a long day. and the
team is strengthened no little in conse-
quence.
Doyle, of course. IS not the player
he was when az the top of his form,
and there are better second basemen in
the National league. but he is giving
the best that is in him, and his best
has been quite good enough.
