NAVY CREW IS RACEWINNER Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 17 — lU.R'i— When a strictly “underdog" crew that had been beaten by everybody but the Coney Island beach patrol goes up against the strongest field in the country and not only whips that field but a driving rainstorm as well, it seems a downright shame to suißS est that the heroic boatload shoald not have won at all. Yet, without meaning to detract one wlnt of glory trom Navys smashing triumph in the varsity race here yesterday and giving the middies full credit for their f: rm and power, it seems to this writer that Cornell and not the Navy should be 1931 intercollegiate varsity rowing champions of the country today. What we mean is that Cornell, despite the fact that it finished a length and a half back of Navy, J looked to be the strongest crew on the river. It was the consensus of the experts that Cornell’s failure to begin its drive at the two and I half miles mark instead of the three mile flag, cost Jim Wray's boatload its second successive Poughkeepsie . regetta. Moreover, it seemed that ' the Ithacans were entirely too as-: sorted in the progress of Syracuse. I their lame neighbor far out in thej river. They seemed to be laboring under the impression that Syracuse, not Washington or Navy,, was the crew to beat. But make no mistake about it, ‘ Navy sent a real crew out on the I Hudson yesterday. If you don't be-1 lieve it the middies time of 18 min-1 utes 54 1-5 seconds should convince i you, for it is the fourth best time I ever made in the long history of I the regatta and less than 2d sec- | onds slower than the all-time mark hung up by California's mighty : 1928 outfit. The victory marked Navy’s first I major triumph of the year. The I

middies were defeated by Harvard, Columbia and Syracuse, the big disappointment of yesterday's race, [during the regular season. If Syracuse was the biggest disappointment of the regatta, Columbia was a close second. Dick Glendon's Lions. 1929 champions, like ~ Cornell and Washington, went to . the post undefeated and were exI pected to finish no worse than one, two, three. The best they could do I was place seventh, a ripple ahead of untried Wisconsin. M. I. T. brought up the rear. California, the other far western entrant, took fourth money with Syracuse in fifth place an d supposedly helpless ( Pennsylvania in sixth. Washington rowed a beautiful ’ race. The huskies set a nice pace, made no mistakes and were beaten simply because they didn't have the strength to match Cornell and Navy in that last mile. The varsity race was rowed in weather most miserable for the spectators but almost ideal for the I Oarsmen.

WEST HOLDS EDGE ON EAST New York. June 17.— U.R; West-' ern teams of the National league I [ have gained the upper hand over! their eastern rivals in intersection-' lai competition thus far this season.! Out of 87 games played against I j representatives of the Atlantic sea-1 Isiard. the four western clubs have I won 44 contests while losing 43. i The St. Louis Cardinals have won | 12 of their 21 contests against New York. Brooklyn, Philadelphia and ' Boston. Cincinnati has won 13 and lost 11; Chicago has taken 11 out of 23 while Pittsburgh has won ! only eight while dropping 11. i I'ntil yesterday when Chicago and ■ St. Louis came through with vicI tones, eastern teams had held the advantage. The Cubs nosed cut Boston, 8 to I 7, after the Braves had garnered a i seven-run lead in the first three in | nings. Boston scored six of the ' markers in the first frame as they i knocked Guy Bush from the mound, i The Cubs kept driving away at Ray Moss, however, and finally shelled 1 him from the mound in the seventh ; as they were scoring the four runs that brought victory. Successive home runs by Watkins and Frisch in the ninth inning gave , St. Louis a 2 to 1 decision over Philadelphia. Chuck Klein’s home . run in the first inning off Burleigh Grimes gave Ray Benge a lead he held until the final frame. The victory enabled the Cardinals to retain their three-game lead in the National league over the second place New York Giants. The Giants defeated Cincinnati. 6 to 1. behind the five-hit pitching ;of Fred Fitzsimmons. Washington increased the margin which eastern teams of the American league hold over the west ,by whipping St. Louis, 11 to 10. i It gave the Senators a record of 23 victories against three defeats in intersectional competition and marked their eleventh consecutive vic'tory. Dave Harris' triple with the bases full in the ninth and an error by Levey, allowed the Senators to I come from behind and nose out the Browns who had piled up a 9 to 2 lead in the first two innings. The victory enabled Washington to ad vance to within two and one half contests of the Philadelphia Athletics. The Athletics, along with five other American league teams were idle because of rain, as were Brooklyn and Pittsburgh in the National. The victory of the Senators gave the east a record of 68 victories against 26 defeats in their com- 1 petition against western teams of the American league.

I DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1931.

• CHICAGO TAKES NEW LEASE ON ' CITY PROGRESS I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE', I other criminal gang approaching I the magnitude of Capone's ever I will I ’ built up was borne out by I the fact that there Is a dearth of | candidates to succeed him. Hymie Levine, a vice monger and liquor vendor under the greasy-joyled "Scanface Al" for several years, was regarded as the , only member of Capone's organization still at liberty with enough intelligert ■ to fill Al's position. The only living predecessor of i Capone is Johnny Torrio, and he ' i is reported to have fled to safety ' in his native Sicily. Six of Caj mone's lieutenants including his i brother, Ralph, already have been ' put out of business by the govern- ' nient. The gangs themselves gat many others so that practically ' | none is left. Capone's plea of guilty to the liquor conspiracy charge may work s hardship on other members of his gang, it was pointed out I y federal agents. Sixty-eight other gangsters also are named in that indictment and the case against them becomes stronger-with "Scarface Al's" admission of guilt. Reports from the underworld i were that Capone's reputation as a I “rat” was lieing strengthened by the grumblings of his henchmen, many of whom believe it inevitable that they now shall serve prison terms on the conspiracy charge. Criminals had regarded for vears the career of Capone as evi-1 dence that the law never could I reach them. The fact that Capone' —formerly regarded as invincible —had been deposed was expected to put fear of the law into them. Every businessman and honest i official in Chicago regarded th,?, smashing of Capone as a personal i victory. Never again, they believed. will they lie bullied into turn-1 ing their backs on flagrant law violations or into payirtg tribute to crime. When Capone is released from prison, they pointed out. his reign in Chicago’s gangdom will be broken. They declared that never again will he. or any Inal., be allowed to put a stranglehold on the city's progress. A great part of the credit for deposing the world's most infamous gangster was given to President Hoover, although federal officials refused to discuss that angle. It was recalled, however, that the president several times expressed

forcibly his determination to end organized crime. Not only is Capone finished as i a criminal power, city and federal authorities said today, but the illn- > sion of heroism woven about him in part of the public's mind also ’ has been banished. Proof of his 1 Inferiority to the law was furnish cd when he hesitated with fear, f trembling in his flashy, buttercolor suit and whimpered "guilty" ! to the indictments against him. No detailed account of the ’■charges against Capone was made when he appeared yesterday to answer “guilty" as the counts were ' read off. but it was understood the ; I enormity of the indictments would he brought out upon the gang‘j star’s appearance for sentence June 30. Included in Hie indictments were ' specific charges that Capone earn- ' ed at least $1,000,000 on which he ' i never paid any income tax ami that he committed about 5.000 acts l in violation of the prohibition | laws. ' These 5,000 acts were connected with his beer business, which was said to have accounted for about $200,000,000 of the $700,000,000 he was Reported to have made during the ten years when he controlled the most powerful gang of law ' violators in history.
