leaders, thirteen games out in front
and carrying a wallop heard around
the baseball world, visited the city
today to engage the Indians in an
exhibition game, action starting at
3 o'clock.
George Herman Ruth and Henry
Louis Gehrig, the home run duet,
were to perform in the contest to
give, Hoosier fans some idea of how
they propel the apple" out Of the
orchard" The Babe, with thirty
six home runs this year, is trailing
Buster Lou by two circuit swats, the
younger strong man having amassed
thirty eight.
Other Stars Present
Tony Lazzeri, Bob Meusel and
Mark Koenig and other IA
nous Yankees also were to play
against the Tribe. The New York
FASTENERS give their best batting eff
forts in exhibition games and they
hoped to clear the walls with drives
one or more times at Washington
Park this afternoon.
Ruth has been here before, but it
was Gehrig's first appearance at
the w. Washington st. park.
Many fans planned to arrive al
the grounds early in order to he
present when the major leaguers
took their battlng practice.
Tribe and Saints
Bruno Betzels Indians won two
games, lost one and tied one over
the weekend in the two double
headers with the Saints. On Sat-
urday the Indians won, 6 to l and
lost, 9 to 2, and on Sunday the
home FASTENERS triumphed, 4 to 8
and went to a draw, 2 to 2, the
Sabbath night cap going only seven
innings, the fracas being called by
agreement to allow st. Paul to

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-With the
Wight;nan Cup in possession of the
United States for another year after
the victory over the British invaders
at Forest Hills Saturday. the tennis
problem confronting this country to-
day was how to retain the Davis
Cup.
There is a feeling that William
T. Tilden and his mates will be up
against the job of their lives in
repelling the French players at Ger
mantown, Sept. 8, 8 and 10.
Frenchmen Learn Lesson
Rene La Coste, Jacques Brugnon,
Henri Cochet and Jean Borotra
learned a lesson from their loss in
the Davis Cup finals last year. They
played the Americans too early and
were not in shape for the terrific
fight they encountered. They lost.
but they learned something and are
going to be ready this year.
A little matter of beating the
Japanese team remains for the
French before they advance to the
final challenge round, but they are
expected to dispose of the Nip
ponese in short order. The match is
scheduled next week.
Made Known Thursday
The personnel Of the United
States team will be made known
Thursday after a series of matches
at Forest Hills during the first
three days of the week. Tilden, OF
course, will be No. on the American
team.
Little Bill Johnston was consid-
cred a strong candidate for tie No.
Q position. He is expected to get
stiff opposition from George Lott,
Lewis N. White, John Doeg, Fran
els T. Hunter and John Hennessy,
Indianapolis.
Dick Williams probably will be a
member of the team. The makeup
of the doubles combination is ex-
tremely uncertain. Tilden probably
will form half of the team, but the
other member may be Williams,
Hunter or any one Of the youngsters.
Helen Is Favorite
Helen Wills is expected to win
back the women's singles champion
ship of the United States at Forest
Hills next week. She demonstrated
to the conclusion of every one at
Forest Hills last weekend that she
is far and away the best amateur
tennis player in the world.
There will be some good foreign
players in the United States cham
pionship tourney, but none of them
is looked upon as real threats for
the title. Mrs. Molla Mallory still
is considered good enough to dis
pose OF any Of the foreigners, and,
provided the seeding is done judi
ciously, probably will meet Miss
Wills in the finals.

the first scrap by Umpire Derr, but
were permitted back on the field
in the next conflict.
Deserved Shutout
The Tribe scored three runs in
the third inning of the opener ard
one in the fourth, while the best
the Saints could do off Leverett
was to get a trio of markers in the
fourth. Leverett pitched shutout
ball, a near collision between Mat
thews and Miller on a pop fly rob-
bling him of the honor of blanking
the Apostles.
Russell drove in two runs, Layne
one and Matthews one. Layne got
three hits in the to game.
Both teams scored two markers In
the first inning of the second game
and after that round the home plate
was not crossed.
The Indians hoped on Kirsch, a
right-hander, and he failed to last
the inning, Heimach, the Saints
star southpaw, relieving. Kirsch
was wild.
BurwelI permitted only one hit
after the first stanza, the visitors
hit total being four. The Tribe got
one hit off Kirsch and five off Heinz
ach.
Fine Stops Made
Connolly's fielding at short was a
feature. In fact there were several
fine stops on both sides.
After the exhibition with the
Yankees today, the Indians will be
idle until Thursday when they open
series in Kansas City.
Fred Haney, obtained from the
Cubs in the Voter deal, played third
Sunday and f1elded in style. He
drew three walks and had a sacri-
fee in the opening tilt and was UP
three times without q hit in the
second.

Lance, State
Golf Champ.
Former Pro
George Wades Through
Field to Annex Title
From Simpson.
BY DICK MILLER

The celebration and excitement
over, George GLENN Lance, %, was
back in his stand at Terre Haute.
Ind, today dishing out root beers.
George took few afternoons of
during the past month, brushed I'D
his golf game and entered the
twenty-seventh annual State anna
teur golf tournament, held at the
Alan Dale Country Club course in
Terre Haute. Saturday night he
carried home couple of course rec
ordS and an arrnload of prizes sig
nlficant of being crowned the anna
teur champion of the State. He
defeated John Simpson, defending
champ, in the final match Saturday,
8 up and 6 to play.
Reed Gives Him Battle
During the course of the week he
qualified unauspiciously and showed
anything but championship golf to
squeeze through couple of early
round matches. He was three down
to Bill Reed with five holes to play
in his third match. In a spectacular
drive to victory he won on the
thirty seventh green.
That was the first time anyone
became particularly interested in
Georges game. He proved however
his game was sound when he de-
feated John Lehman, the Gary
flash, two up and one to play. He
shot brides galore and played great
golf, against great Lehman ex-
hibition.
Saturday. he met Simpson, who
was playing over his home course.
Many of the old-timers and others
who study the figures, wagered the
lad would crack. He did anything
but that.
Pars and Brides
He shot pars and brides at Simp-
son until he held an overwhelming
lead Of seven up at the end of the
first eighteen holes. Some Of his
shots were marvellous. The end
came on the thirtieth green in the
afternoon.
George, with his parents, operate
a chain of root beer stands around
Terre Haute. He migrated there
two years ago from California. Out
there when Is he won the city golf
title of Sacramento. Other titles
were hung on his belt until he be-
came professional at II. He re-
NAMED pro until he came to Indi-
ana. He started to regain his anna
teur standing. 1t came just too late
to get in the 1926 tourney. He
waited until this year, and he did

OHIO MINE WAGES
SPLIT IS MARKED
Opposition 0utspoken to
Competitive Scale in East
ern SubdiStrict.
BY the Associated Press.

Oy the associated Press.
CLEVELAND, March 15.-Differ-
ences in the Ohio union coal miners
wage scale controversy We're more
pronounced today, with outspoken
opposition to a competitive wage
arising from the Eastern Ohio sub
district, where operators have been
most insistent on adoption of COM
petitive scale.
Joint resolutions presented to the
subdistrict twenty eighth annual
convention at Belleair, Ohio, last
night urged miners to remain firm in
their wage demands, and charged
that wage reduction proposed by op-
orators was aimed at breaking down
the union.
Threat Of Suspension.
Operators have sought adoption of
q competitive wage scale, to replace
the Jacksonville agreement, which
expires April l, providing for $3.50 a
day for labor.
The Eastern district first became
the battle-ground in the wage con-
troversy when officials of the Rail
and River Coal Company placed no.
tees in miners pay envelopes an
nouncing that work in the mines
would be suspended April l unless
new agreement was reached. The
Ohio Coal Producers Association,
meeting in Columbus later, declared
that unless a competitive agreement
, made before April l all union
SineS would close.
Basis of Conference.
The resolution last night followed
an announcement by Lee Hall, presi-
dent of the Ohio miners, that his or
ganization is prepared to ask for a
Joint conference to consider wage
controversies if operators signify
their Willingness to attend.
The announcement was received as
q possible solution to the differences,
when S. III. Robbins, president of the
producers association, said operators
would consider a wage meeting pro-
vided a competitive scale was made
the basis of the conference.
