Milwaukee Knocks Off
Louisville and Blues Spill
IndianS--BurWeII Due.

Home brew pennant stock took a
jump Wednesday as the Milwaukee
Brewers slammed the Louisville
Colonies, Z to 0, and the K. c. Blues
grabbed the series opener from the
Indians, 3 to /. The Brewers climbed
over the Colonies to capture the A.
A.. lead by one-half game and in
creased the margin over the Bush
men by a full game.
The situation, today, therefore,
showed the Indians three games be-
hind Milwaukee and two and one
half games back Of the Colonies.
Bill Burwell was slated to hurl for
the Tribesmen today in the second
fracas of the series with the Kaws.
Injuries are handicapping the
Bushmen as they battle to stay in
the race and they need plenty of
encouragement If they are to keep
their heads up.
Shannon, Hartley and Fisher were
out of action, Wednesday and Holke,
and Sticking played when a rest
would have been more to their lik-
ing. Holke has an injured foot and
Sticking is bothered by a lame arm.
Tom Sheehan was given brilliant
support Wednesday and he pulled
out with a victory over the unlucky
Dutch Henry. The only run scored
by the locals was drive n in by the
Tribe southpaw hurler. His mates
couldn't produce in the pinch, and
added to that, sparkling fielding
plays by the Blues we're made the
few times the Indians threatened to
rally.

Wednesday and the Blues, six. But
the X, C. batters inserted some extra
base smacks and they also drew six
walks.
If the Tribesmen ever strike a
lucky streak, there's no telling how
fast they'll go. Slight miscues
have dumped them more than once
this season..
Grigsby pulled an amazing catch
in the third inning, Wednesday,
that chilled the Tribe. Ainsmith was
on second when Matthews drove to
left-center. Grigsby sprinted over
and shared the ball with a running
back-handed catch.
In the seventh stanza, Smith, at
third, made a startling stop Of
Henry's skipper and stopped another
Tribe threat.
Ainsmith poked two of the Indi-

Pick drove in the three K. G. runs
with a double in the first, with a
triple in the third and on ar out in
the seventh.
Umpires for this series are Derr

Sheehan, who twirled for the Blues
Wednesday, is the same Sheehan
who won t~hirty-one games for st.

record with Tom Hughes, who won
the same number for Minneapolis in
1910.
Milwaukee will be here for a dou-

Puzzling Plays
By Billy Evans

How is it possible for a pitcher to be
taken out of the box and then returned to
his position as pitcher?
=
IF a manager, for some reason desires
to substitute a pitcher against a certain
batsman and then revert to his original
pitching selection. he may do so by simply
shifting the pitcher to some other position
In other words. a player may play IN
more than one position. in fact as many
positions as desired. provided he does not
leave She game.
Recently in the runjors. a manager sent
his r~ight-handed pitcher to right field,
handed batter and then put the right
handler bacg in the box after the south
nav .had disnOSed of the batsman.

NEW YORK, July '29.-It's the.
fighting heart-and the punch in
both hands-that will win the fight
between Jack Dempsey and Gene
Tunney, in the opinion OF the big
champion.
Talking back and forth over the
wires with the writer, Jack set this
down as his answer to what will be
the determining factor in the battle
set for Sept. 16 in New York City,"
And are both Of the old mitts
working as they used to-" we asked
him.

about to stage.
Principal Factors
1.-THE principal factors Of any
heavyweight fight are durability, a
punch in both hands and a fighting
heart. Z.

Of these"
"And how about your condition
after the long layoff?" we asked
him.
II can say absolutely he re-
sponded, that I am in the best con
dition 1 have been in five years"
when do you leave and what are
your training plans?" was the next
question.
II will arrive in New York Aug. 3
and spend a few days there. Then
| will go directly to my training
camp at Saratoga Springs. Captain
Mabbott and Floyd Fftzsimmons
have arranged for all my training
partners"
Logical Contender
In response to further inquiry re-
garding whether Tunney was the
nan most entitled to the go, Demp-
sey replied: Il consider Tunney the
logical contender-and II he gets in
good condition I promise the fans
IN interesting fight"
"How about the wife? VIII she
be here for the fght?"
Mrs. Dempsey will be my COM
panion at the camp until Aug. 20"
he replied. After which she will
have to leave because she must be
in Hollywood to take up her new
contract with the Feature Produc-
tons, Inc, which will be occupying
her time when the fight is held"
The champ did not say what
weight he expected to make for the
fight. He now tips something over
200 pounds.
