AMERICAN LEGION NEWS

THAT the American Legion stands
back of the citizens military training
camps that are being conducted thru
out the country this summer" ac-
cording to Frank Samuel, state ad-
jutant, sis shown in the resolution just
passed by the national military policy
committee of the organization"
1.-The resolution of the national
committee states that it is strongly in
favor of such citizens camps, and
asks that all Legion posts cooperate
in securing recruits for such camps"
according to Mr.. Samuel.
'Legionaires are urged to advise
younger brothers and friends to at
tend the training camps" Samuel said.-
--latest reports from Fort Crook, Neb.,
headquarters of the Seventh corps
area, show that only small per cent
of the Kansas quota for Camp Pike
has enrolled. Legion posts in Kansas
should do their part in having the
state represented in full strength at
the first citizens camps"
Almost incredible feats of bravery
and sacrifice of members of the
American Legion in administering re-
lief in the flood-swept city of Pueblo.
Colo, were recited by Harry A. Sulli-
van, of Denver, in a recent report to
the national executive committee of
the American Legion In Indianapolis.
The committee voted $500 for relief
work.
The only bridge jeff standing at
Pueblo following the rush of flood
waters was a railroad trestle at Buttes.
Over this quaking structure in the
darkest hours of the night, passed the
first relief trucks to enter the stricken
city. The trucks were manned by
members of the American Legion.
The last word out of Pueblo after
the waters swept down upon the city
was a call for help from Pueblo posts

Spouse was immediate. The Legion
men were the first to enter the city

ILegionaires remained on duty to assist
in caring for the suffering survivors.
The apprehension of nearly 500

sporting world, who died Monday at his
home. 2456 North Meridian street. was
laid in its last resting place in the

Mr.. Hart who has been the mana ger
Of the A. G. Spalding athletic goods
store in Indianapolis since this branch

not yet been bumped off in an initial
game. The old boy was rarin' to cut
loose this afternoon and the rest of the
athletes were ready to hit a rapid clip
behind him.
Leo seiffert and Harry Weaver, pitch
ers obtained from the Cincinnati Reds
and Chicago Cubs, respectively, probably
will be started in two Of the games
against the Brewers. Both have shown
in practice losses and the chief is con-
fident that they have plenty Of stuff to
stick with the Association pace.
II Pug Cavet comes through with an
other victory in the opener against Mil
waukee, Manager Hendricks will imme-
diately jot his name on the book for the
open or against Kansas City, which will
be Immediately after the Milwaukee
trick. Jack figures that when Pug starts
his buddies Off with a win in the series,
it gives them plenty Of pep and confidence
for the remaining games.
The indians are planning neat little
into Kansas City for the final series of
their present road trip. They have
heard quite a few stories about the lead
ing club, and they are preparing to jump
in and throw the hooks into the outfit
right at the start. They feel that three
wins over the Brewers will set them in
a fine position to tear into the Blues,
knock them for a loop and trot back to
indianapolis at the head Of the class.

Carpenter looks haggard, drawn, weary

than he did when he made his first trip
over here last summer.
His general appearance and attitude

it were all over"
The Frenchman hardly has had rest
in ten years. He has been burning up
energy since he was, 20 years old, an
early period when he should have been
accommodating reserve for after years
After he went through four hard years
in the army, an experience that l know
from what l saw on the other side, is a
terrific physical strain on any man.
Also for two years now he has been
travelling, meeting people, attending func-
tions. and he is not of a temperament
to stand up under this kind of strain
BE looks drawn around the eyes and
has a pasty color, although he always
was a trife pale. He is weighing 10
pounds, and that means that he cannot
take off an Onuce in training. he has
nothing to fall back on and must go
through his hard work on nerve.
He viii have to be handled extremely
well to keep from going stale. His train
ing may get on his nerves and he viii
be unable to put his heart In the work.

NEW YORK, May 19.-Never il boxing

People in nearly every walk of life are
talking about 1t. The women folks are
interested. A big majority of them want
to see it. Everywhere l go scores Of peO-

What do you think of the big fight"
At this early stage, I am far from
ready to discuss the probable outcome.
The rival camps have only been estaO-
Hshed and the fighters have more than
month to train.
Dempsey is well started. He is already

gather even the newspaper men will be
extremely fortunate if they see him un-
cover any tricks against his sparring
partners.
The attitude of mystery adopted by
Carpenter is nothing new. When he
trained for Joe Beckett in London he
worked behind closed gates. Just why
he prefers to do so is a mystery, unless
crowds bother him. Personally, 1 do
not believe that training where all can
see should make any difference to the
really clever boxer, so far as the carry
ing of information to his rivals camp
is concerned.
A clever boxer is a whole lot like a
good baseball pitcher. Rival players can
watch a great pitcher work, study his
style and figure that they have the low
down on him. But when they face him
Mt the plate it is quite another matter.
If he happens to be right. He'll turn 'em
away just the same; and he'll always
have something in reserve.
Had Carpenter selected a camp at At
lantic City, l think it would have been
much better for the big fight, which he
is entering on a percentage basis. But
he knows best.
In Joe Jeanette, old though he is now,
! believe Carpenter has one Of the best
sparring partners he could possibly Sc
cure. Just a few years ago Jeanette

MILWAUKEE,, May 19.-The Indians
piled into Milwaukee this morning, all
set for four fast battles with the Brew
ers, anG with their mind set on nothing
less than three victories in the series.
They were not bit backward before the
opening game this afternoon in saying
that they felt as though they had the
Brewer medicine somewhere IN t thelF
equipment, and it looked as though Chiet
Jack and his Tribe would be a hard
bunch to get along with.
One little thing that has not helped
the peaceful spirit of the Tribe great
deal is the fact that the weather man
threw the dumps into them at Mime
apohs. For three days the Indians were
held back with rain at the Miller city.
after two games of their series had been
played, with fifty fifty results. Yes
terday was an OFF day on the Indian
card, but they planned tc take on the
Millers in a rubber tilt, only to be
baked for the third consecutive time by
what they have termed a Minneapolis
Special"
But the rainy weather at Minneapolis
was not all against the Indianapolis
club. In fact, 1t helped along quite a
bit, as right now there is not hurler
on the staff who is not ready to take
to the hill on word from Manager Hend-
ricks. and If the curve artists can hold
their own the team should finish up the
Milwaukee and Kansas City jobs in
whirlwind fashion.
Pug Cavet has been waiting for three
days to take a fling at some sort of ball
club. and it looked as though he would
surely get his chance today. The weather

The A. p. c. baseballers fell before ths
Kansas City Monarchs, to 7, at Wash
ington Park, yesterday afternoon, in the
deciding tilt Of their. five game series.
The lead switched back and forth
through yesterdays game, and there was
enough action to keep the fans in their
seats until the last man was out in the
ninth. The A B. C.s were off to a lead
in the third round, and they stayed out
in front until the seventh, when the Mon
archs came in for three runs. The locals
tied things up again in the eighth, but
two runs in the ninth put the Kaw City
clan over for the victory
The A B. C.s touched Foreman and
Currie, Monarch pitchers, for thirteen
hits. while Jeffries and Lattimer held the
visitors to nine, but the Alonarchs got
theirs at the more OppOrtune times.
