STARS CONTEST WATER TITLES IN LOCAL POOL National and State Events at Broad Ripple Attract Heavy Fields. DARBY HAS BACKERS Swimmers who belong in the _big leagues of tke water fame contested national championships : n the Broad Rippd-* pool this afternoon. It was the day of all days in Indianapolis water annals, and those citizens who lean towir4 the sport were promised one of the most interesting exhibitions they ever hara had the opportunity of witnessing The national junior high dive for women and the national junior mile for men were the headliners on the propram, and the entry lists in these events were every bit as classy as the titles. Stars of national fame sought victory in the dive end distance ev-nts, and the kind of competition that makes the game grow was sure to result. Two Indianapolis swimmers were entered in the mile race, and there was a possibility of them coming through with a neat surprise, so their friends thought. Nonaan Darby, brother of Thelma. Indla.'.npo!is girl star, and Howard Kamplain. were the local entrants. Darby was by no Seans considered "just one of those entered." This youngster Is a swimmer who has shown ability to stick to a uneau pace for the mile, and those who are supposed to e wise in the ways of swimming were saying that i# Norman was "rigßf’ this afternoon he might make #om# of the visitors post record time to keep ahead of him. TW entry of Ferd Erlich of the Detroit A. C., runner-up in the national Itinior mile last year was Bled yesterday. Erlich’s ertry was delayed for a few days , because of a dispute among the Detroit swimmers. There were a few who thought they could pass the swimmer coming here In the mile, and it was necessary for him to take them down the line in a special cTent put ou by the Detroit club yesterday afternoon, before he could claim the honor of representing bis club in the race here. The D. A. C. boasts some mighty good swimmers, and if Erlich is the best they have, then he must surely be well along in the game. MM. Vonnie Malcolmson. another Detroit A C. star, was to compete for the women's dive honors. Mrs Malcolmson was a member of the last Olympic team, and ranks a* one of hte cleverest high divers in the fair ranks. Ruby Butler of Dayton. Ohio, and Marie Peterson of the Minneapolis A. also were expected to Ibow the fans something smart in the diving line. Regina Reis is this city's best bet in this event. Miss Reis is a star performer in any brunch of the aquatic game, and she should afford Indianapolis real representation in the dive Eas'des the national contest*, there were several Indiana A A. C. and open races on the card, making ten events in all. and It looked as though the afternoon would be crowded with good swimming. Tbe Indiana A. A. C. was awarded a total of four national events this year, and the remaining two v I be features of the program being arranged for Aug. 18 and 19 at tbe Broad Ripple pool.

FAIR DAMSELS TAKE UP TURF Pop Geers Tells How the ‘New Woman* Is Rapidly Learning Men’s Ways. BV J. F. BEAM AN. United Press Staff Correspondent. COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 28.—Gambling damsels have made ip for the loss of Europe's aristocracy in the "sport of kings.” Pin money and weekly wages of the female betting fiends are flooding tbe pari mntuels. Pop Geers, famous sulky rider, declared today, in explaining the revived enthusiasm and crowded stand* that have attended spring race meetings of the Grand Circuit this season. ‘‘Women are better betters than men.” Greers chuckled, as he told of the new order of things in the turf world, "Pretty near all of the women In the stands send down a little bet on each race of the day and they pick some winners, mightv often —women's Intuition, I suppose you'd call it.” It's the debutante and the high heeded. hej<*weled society matrons that are getting the thrills out of picking a leug shot, according to Pop. "The women are getting free and easy nowadays,” the grizzled pilot explained "They are wearing the pants. They are getting just as bold as the men about where they go and what they do.” Pop laid it all on the war. Responsibility made women better able to care for themselves and more independent, he believe* Tbe birth of the female “rail bird" saved the “sport of kings" from going out of business along with the other victims of the World Wir. he said.

CHICAGO, July 28— Although technically listed among the defendants in the famous Black Sox case of the 1919 w orld s series, George (Buck) Weaver and Oscar (Happy) Felsch, virtually are free today of charges that they participated in the plot to "throw'' the series.

INDIANS STILL BATTLE BLUES Tribe Stays Ahead in Series, Despite Hitting Strength of Visitors. Having defeated the prancing K. C. Blues two out of three the Indians today were showing signs of getting their old nerve back and they had high hopes of slipping a* third victory over on the boys from the Kaw this afternoon. In the double header yesterday the Blues grabbed the first game, 2 to 1, and the Tribe won tb second contest, 8 to 3. In the opening battle Petty and Ames hooked up In a pitching struggle, the latter getting a alight shade in the day's honors. , Auues allowed three hits and Petty six. The Tribe hurler did not permit a safety until the sixth inning, but In that frame the Blue* solved his offerings and pushed a run over. Three successive singles enabled the Blues to score. This marker could have been headed off by tighter fielding on the part of Kinsella, but Bob had to fumble Zwilling’s single just enough to permit Good to score from second. Bob evidently wasn't feeling right In this game. He looked helpless at the plate when there were chances to drive In runs. The Indians had scored in the fourth Inning qf the first contest nnd that K. * run In the rixth knotted the count In the ninth the deciding marker was put over by the visitors. ZwlUing singled, moved up on Skiff’s sacrifice, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored ou Leather's fiv to left field, which Hehg dropped. Walter wes no anxious to prevent the run scoring that be failed to grip the ball properly. It was an even chance that he would have cut Zwilling down at the plate had he clung to the sphere. In the second contest of the dt.y the old master Pug Cavet. was king of ceremonies. He went along in easy fashion and had no trouble breezing through to victory. In addition to pitching great ball he got himself a home run over the low right field fence. It was a mighty clout and came behind Henliae's triple In the fifth. The Indian* knocked Bono oui of the box in this game Bono bad won his last nine start* and It was quite a shock to the Bines when he was given a beating by the Indians. Bolxhauser, a rook* from the Western Association, sucC!eded Bono on the mound, but failed to cl the Hooslers, who were hitting hard and timely. Caret gets well stocked op for hitting that home run. He gets a suit of clothes, hat, shirt, tie and box of cigars, lie already has a flivver, so he’s Axed. Henllne got a double and triple in the second game. Shlnner* did some fancy base-running In the eighth when he atole second ana weut the remainder of the way home when Catcher Skiff's throw went to center field. Dong Baird is striving mightily to emerve from a hatting slump. lie is searching for hitting powders. The Tribe certainly U going big again In tbe double play market. Two in the first gam* yesterday and three In the second 6* 'Tuesday four double killings were made. Manager McGraw of the Giants has promised to ioao Catcher Alex Gaston, termor Brewer, to the Indian* it the Phtllle* Insist on taking Butch Henlinc. according to word brought back from the Last today by Vice President Smith of the Tribe Henllne will leave tbe local team Saturady unless tbe Qusik*T management change* !• mind Smith conferred with McGraw in Pittsburg yes ter day.

at the first knockdown, Downey technically won the fight a second time when Killilea, Wilson's manager, assisted the champion to his feet after Downey had knocked him down a second time. At Gardner’s slow count of ten the first time, the champion staggered helplessly to his feet. Gardner motioned to the amazed Downey to go on with the fight. Downey plowed in and. rained a shower of rights and lefts on the helnleßs Wilaon’s jaw. He went down for the second time. This time, Killilea jumped up on the edge of the ring where the stricken champion had fallen and assisted him to arise. Gardner evidently did not see this, or paid no attention to it. Gardner’s statement after the fight was that he awarded the bout to AVilson on a foul, claiming that Downey had hit the champion while he was down. This was after Downey had battered down AA’ilson the third time. Os all the spectators In the field, none saw this alleged foul committed by Downey. The Cleveland boxing commission overruled Gardner's verdict, however, and announced from the ring that Downey had won by a knockout the first time he floored Wilson. Wilson was down for 13 4-5 seconds, according to the official timekeepers stop watch. Gardner was referee of the fight by virtue of Wilson's insistence that he officiate or there would be no battle. The Cleveland boxing commission waived Its rule that only Its official referee can act at matches here In order that the fight might be held as advertised. Much confusion resulted from the sudden ending of the fight and fans swarmed Into the ring. • Official reports were being dispatched today by the Cleveland boxing commission to various State and national boxing bodies, crediting Downey with a knockout over Wilson, and giving the title to Downey.

JURY SOON TO GET SOX CASE Looks as Though Baseball Scandal Trial Will Not Get Results. CHICAGO. July 28.—The baseball scandal case will be In the hands of the Jury within twenty-four hours It was Indicated today by attorneys for the remaining “Black Sox” and the one alleged gambler involved in the “throwing’’ of the 1919 world's series. The attorneys declared they would confer during noon recess upon the advisability of resting the case and allow the jury to decide the fa f e of the defendant*, so confident were they that “the State had proved nothing.” The action of Judge Hugo M. Friend yesterday in nolle prosaing the case* of Ben and Louis Levi and his statement that he probably would set aside a verdict of guilty if the jury returned It in the case of ’’Buck” Weaver and “Happy" Felsch and Carl Zork, are understood to have Influenced the defense in considering this move. Resting by the defense would mean that the remaining five “Black Sox” would not have to take the stand, and that the members of the White Sox team who were subpoenaed from Washington yesterday with Manager William Gleason and Captain Eddie Collins would not have to testify. The attorneys who were to confer during recess of the court on whether the J case will be rested were James C. O'Brien, Michael Ahern, Thomas D.

Former teammates of the “Black Sox” were called today to testify In behalf iof the seven ball players on trial, charged with selling out the 1919 world j series. John Collins and Nemo Leibold, who were with the White Sox during the alleged crooked series were asked to testify j if they believed the indicted men played \ to the best of their ability. Question after question was put to th* two witnesses by Ropes O’Brien and Thomas Nash, defense attorney*, with the hope of bringing out this point. Every question was objected to by the State and upheld by the court. The witnesses were excused without being able to testify as they apparently were ready to do, that the Black Sox played to the best of their skill. “Dutch" Reuther, who now pitches for Brooklyn, but who played with the Cincinnati Reds durinv the disputed erles. took the stand. The court would not permit Reuther to state his opinion as to whether the "Black Sox" played to the best of their ability. Even though the three big leaguers did not get a chance to give much testimony in favor of the defendants, the defense's purpose was to produce three expert* who were willing to give the Black Sox a dean bill. Harry Grabiner. secretary of the White Sox. was called by the defense to show the receipts of the Sox for 1919 and 1920 The purpose of this was to prove the business of the Wh'fe Sox company was not injured by the take series, as charged in the indictment. Records showed the fan* laid out a total of $910.3:>5 to see the AVhlte Sox perform in 1920. This sum represents the gate receipts at home and the share of receipts while the team was abroad. The White Sox Club took in $521.175.76 in 1919, exclusive of the world series' share, which brought the total | gross receipts to $638,332.23. Receipts of 1918, a short war season, were $128,396 54.

Georges May Remain in France and Far Away From Any More Yankees

NEW YORK. July £B.—George* Carpentier never may come back to America to fight. Ovide Musin, one of the greatest af violinists ard an enthusiastic boxing fan has Just returned from Paris with the opinion that the French hero is through with the ring. "Despite his defeat by Dampeey, Carpentier is still the national idol. France considers him now almost as a martyr, in that he failed trying to accomplish the impossible," Musin said. "If Carpentier dies as the light heavyweight champion his record against Dempsey will be held to his credit instead of being covered np, but if he would come to America and be defeated by Tommy Gibbons, a boxer his own weight and size, he would fall as an Idol. "Carpentier Is being advised by bis friends in Paris to quit the game with n record that all his countrymen are proud of." Many Americans are coming around to the belief that Carpentier will not return. He has not answered the cable aent by Tex Rickard that Gibbons had been selected as his next opponent.
