July 29 —Action of Governor Jackson banning another Sun day auto racing event in Indiana was looked for today. The Rev. M. F.

In keeping with his announced policy of stopping all Sunday races, the governor has already ordered two events called off Similar action is expected In the case of the Covington races. The governor cited as his authority the state's Sunday blue laws.

Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent) New York. July 29 — (fertrude Fderle, young American swimmer, will have the "bon voyage” of a whole nation behind her when she attempts to swim across the English channel next week. Swimming sharps all hope that | she becomes the first woman to per- j form the hardest feat in athletics, but they are dubious about her chances. "If any woman can do it. she can.” Joe Ruddy, swimming star of the New' York Athletje Club and the world's greatest water polo player, says. "It. isn't merely a matter of swimming that distance." he said "It is a question of fighting water, tide and currents that pull on you just as much as an opponent of the leg of a water polo player. She is a strong swimmer and has plenty of courage.” Miss Ederle proved that when she swam in record time from the Battery in New York to Sandy Nook, she was capable of a distance longer than the 21 miles "bird line” from Cape Grlz Nez to Dover, but the conditions otherwise cannot be compared. No swimmer ever will be able to cross the channel on a direct line. To fight changing tides and currents in the channel, a swimmer must constantly change the course and deicribe a “W" shaped route. Miss Ederle has in her favor a form of training that has proved to be superior to the methods followed by foreign athletes and she has been working for more than a year with the channel fight in her mind. o Eight Women Remain In Race For Golf Title South Bend.

British Athletes Win Meet Without Training | New York, July 29 Form shown by the British collegians in the recent > meets of the Oxford-Cambridge team > against the Yale-Harvard and Prince > ton-Corneil teams tool; another sock at I the merit of the strict training systems employed in American colleges. The British team lost to Yale and Harvard on a fluke and overwhelmed Princeton and Cornell a week later. j One Princeton man. after the meet excused the defeat of the Americans with th plea—" Our fellows were not lit condition.” "They have been away from collegel for a month, you know, and they have not trained as well as they do in college," he said. I The English collegians were also away from school for a month, they made the trip across the ocean, had 1 only a few days to get ready and they . seemed to be in good shape. i The answer Is. perhaps, that the Eng--1 h boys, trained when they left the campus as they did when they were under the'eyes of their tutors. I They smoked when they had the deI sire, they ate what they liked and they ' drank what they wanted when they ’ could get it. 'j The English boys had a great time on the boardwalk at Atlantic City and they started a new vogue for the beach cake-eaters with their blazing, blazer coats and the scapfs wrapped around their necks. The popular Lord "Davey” Burgh ley was the biggest hit since the Prince of Wales, witli New York society summering at the resort and he had to use some of his teammates for pinchliitters at afternoon teas. “We came over to compete of course His Lordship said, "but we Englishmen believe that social features are a part of high class athletics and that I fun should be combined with athlet'tics to get moral as well as physical results from the games”. "We are too fond of your American boys to act like critics,” he added, "but we get some amusement from tlie seriousness with which your boys take atletics. We ask ourselves as we have asked them—'What fun do you get out of your athletics?" We should never compete if we had some lordly coach I to tell us —‘You may have a bowl of '! consomme. a lamb chop and a glass ' of milk for lunch.' "We eat what we want when we want it. You know we Englishmen eat a lot and we drink some. We have to do it to withstand the hardships of our climate. Perhaps it we trained on a diet like the American athletes do. we should* bcome seriously ill. I believe the difference in climate may have a lot to do villi it. if we be- ' came accustomed to the American | climate 1 am quite sure that we could ■retain our form with the same mode 'of living. But regardless of reasons 1 believe we have more fun out of ath letics and get more out of it than you! boys do”. o Spent Years Teaching Africans Hou To Dress; Get Shock On Broadway Ney York. July 29.—(United Press.) —lt was quite a shock to Dr. and Mrs. Arthur L. Piper, after they had spent 12 years in the Belgian Congo, trying to teach the natives how to dress and live morally, to get back to Broadway today. We came a long way to find very little difference," exclaimed Mrs. Piper. "Why, in Masumbaland we have been since 1913 trying to teach the women to wear something besides beads, palm oil and sunshine. Here we get back to New York and discover that the girls and women wear only paint, powder and suggestion. "Clothing and dancing in this city are worse than in Africa, for there the poor black natives known nothing about morals, but here folks are immoral." o Anna E. Winnes left today for Pitman, New Jersey, for a two week's vi sit with friends. She will visit at Atlantic City., and Philadelphia, also, j

"I won't look ' at him until the very last," she said. “I feel that it I looked at him now i I would break down and I must prevent myself doing that. "I don’t want to look at him until they close the casket for the last time.” Bearing up with calm fortitude, the widow was taken back to her wheel chair in another room. An invalid for the last five years, Mrs. Bryan is unable either to use her legs or arms, owing to a form, of paralysis. Man Killed By C. & O.
