TEAM Is GOING GOOD

NORMAN PERRY, owner of the
L v A. A. Indians and officials Of
the Cleveland team were disap-
pointed over the poor gate and
Perry intimated that if business at
the stadium fails to show an early
pickup after the Tribe comes in off
the road again he may be compelled
to use extreme measures.
In other words, Indianapolis
seems to be on the verge of passing
out as a supporter of the national
pastime and It's possible that Perry
may turn the Tribe franchise back
to the league and lock up the
stadium.
The Hoosier Indians are only
three and one-half games back Of
the Columbus league leaders and
have been going at a fast clip the
last two weeks The Killefer pas
timers were in Toledo today for a
single game and will return home to
begin a series with the Milwaukee
Brewers under the lights Friday. 1t
will be ladies night. "

TWO GAMES SATURDAY

DERRY is of the opinion cut
Il prices is not the solution to
the local baseball puzzle. He tried
it last Saturday night with forty
cent admission to any seat in the
grandstand and the receipts were
the same although there was
bulge in attendance. The Pacific
Coast and Texas leagues reported
similar experience when they cut
the ticket fee.
The Milwaukee series, starting
Friday night, will be a five-game
stand and will include twilight
moonlight double header on Satur-
day, first game at p. M, and the
second at BIS. The park will not be
cleared between games and one ad-
mission will be good for both con-
tests. No paSs-out checks will be
issued, however. There also will be
a twin bill Sunday afternoon.

Jockey Jack Westrope had booted
five bangtails home ahead of the

There seems to be a lot of truth
in it at that, as Westrope doesn't
seem to care what nag he is on, who
he is running against, or what track

SITUATION ELSEWHERE

CEVERAL cities in the American
~ Association are doing far better
than indianapolis from the stand
point of the gate and Owner Perry
says the whole thing is riddle to
him. In Columbus Tuesday, wher
the Indians played a double-header
with the Red Birds, the Tribe was
paid off on an attendance Of 1856,
or practically 10000
Show me a crowd like that here
and l will think the baseball world
has been rebuilt" Perry stated
Wednesday as he gazed out on the
empty seats after going to a big eX-
pense to bring the club in off the
road to celebrate "Hildebrand day."
Evidently Hildebrand and his
Cleveland mates we're displeased,
too for Oral pitched only one inning
whereas his manager, Roger Peckin-
paugh, had planned to use him at
least three rounds.

Argues With Jacobs

According to the promoters, the
financial success of the bout already
is assured by advance sale of
tickets. About 10000 fans are eX-
pected to attend.
Schmeling is a former heavy
weight champion, and Baer is
promising young fighter, but the
big reason for the bouts apparent
success is the fact that Jack Demp-
sey is handling the promotion.
Dempsey gave this fight more
publicity probably than any other
individual could have secured He
signed the fighters, made arrange
ments for their training, went into
the ring with them and boxed at
their camps, and now has become

ager, Joe Jacobs. because he gave
Baer a couple of pointers for the
fight.
Schmeling Is FavOrite
Schmeling probably will be 2-to-
l faVorite because of his greater ex-
perience. Baer is somewhat of an
unknown quantity, despite the adj
vertising. The best man he ever
whipped was the late Ernie Schaaf.
Both are hard hitters, and it's
doubtful if the fight will go the
limit Baer is the more devastating
puncher, but he's wild, and the Ger
man slugger is an elusive target.

was presented with a document duly
confirming the exploit. But actually
he was last instead Of first.

fusion on the part of the timers

Il was the last car to qualify, and
they started me at the rear of the
field. The cars up ahead laid down
a heavy smoke screen. 1 waited a
few seconds for the atmosphere to
clear. When 1 finally got started
and shot past the judges stand
there was an outburst of cheering.
I couldn't understand why they
were cheering me- But did later,
They thought I was leading. So
