FOUR EVENTS WIND UP NATIONAL TOURNAMENT \ Final Program at Broad Ripple Offers Aquatic Fans Best of Entertainment —Officials Prepare Selections, Four Olympic final swim trials were on the program this afternoon at Broad Ripple pool in the last day of the meet. High diving, plain and fancy, the 200-meter free style for the relay team, and 200-meter breast stroke remained to be settled. The Olympic swimming selection committee will meet tonight for the official selection of the personnel of the United States team.

Twenty-four men will make up the team for the nine Olympic events.

C., San Francisco, Cal., winner of the fancy high diving in the 1920 Olympic games, was one of the entries today. All of the speed boys again wereilto be seen in action this afternoon in the 200-meter free style Olympic event and the 100-yard open. It was possible that Weismuller would set another new mark in the 100-vard; event. He is in top form in the i present tourney. Rest of Talent Entered Johnny Weissmuller broke the 50- j meter mark twice Friday before he j called it a day. In a trial heat he swam the distance in 25 4-5 seconds, which bettered the mark of -27 seconds made by Pua Kealoha in Honolulu last year. Again Johnny clipped the brand new record by splashing through the water at tremendous speed in 25 1-5 seconds in the finals. Ic is doubtful if Johnny ever went faster than he did in this event Friday. He plowed his way through with head down and going in his own inimitable style. Every one at the pool thought he had made remarkable time and waited with ex pectancy for the announcement of the time. They were not' disappointed. Olympic records were broken in two events Friday. Lester Smith of the Olympic Club, San Francisco swam the 400 meters, free style, in 5 minutes, 23 seconds. The Olympic record, which has stood since 1912 made at Stockholm by Hodgson of Canada, Is 5:24 2-5. Friday’s Thriller The 400-meter race was one of the closest contested of the present meet and resulted in almost a dead heat between Breyer of Northwestern University and Lea Smith. They were neck and neck the whole way. At the half-way mark they took off together and in the last lap they were still even. At the finish Smith fcouched the finishing wall first, but Wit was so close the judges had a conference before the final result was announced. Adam Smith of Erie, Pa., was third. The Hawaiian.® were supreme in the 100-meter back stroke. Warren Kealoha, world’s record holder in this event, won in. the exceptional time of 1 minute and 13 seconds. The Olympic mark is 1:14 2-5, made by Duke Kahanamoku in 1920. It was only 2-5 seconds slower than the world mark on a 25-yard course held by Weissmuller and Kealoha. It was 3-5 seconds faster than the world’s record over a 100-yard course.

JOHNNY WEISSMULLER

REAL sensation. That's all one can call this Johnny Weissmuller who travels through the water faster than any one ever has been know'll to go before. Friday, at Broad Ripple, in the final Olympic tryouts. Johnny swam the 50-meter course in 25 -5 seconds in the finals. He is counted on as a sure point winner in the Olympics for Uncle Sam at Paris.

NATIONAL OPEN GOLF CROWN BACK WITH PROS Cyril Walker, Jersey 'Shorty,' Is New Links King—Jones Loses by Three Strokes—Tourney Hard Fought, By Vnitfd Press DETROIT. June 7.— r I he national open golf title is back with the “pros. Cyril Walker, a runty little New Jersey professional who emigrated from England ten years ago, proved best of a field of 84 in two days’ play at Oakland Hills and wrested the crown from Bobby Jones, Atlanta amateur.

Jones was second in this year's open, losing by three strokes the title he won at Inwood last year in the play-off of a tie with Bobby Cruickshank. 297 Score Wins Walker, who is “pro" at Englewood, N. J., score.! 297. Jones was second with 300, followed by Bill Melhorn, St. Louis "pro” with 301 and Walter Hagen. MacDonald Smith and Cruickshank with 303. While for sentimental reasons the gallery would have liked to see young Bobby Jones successfully de fend his title* this year, Walker's victory is a source of satisfaction to his friends among the professionals. What It Means Victory for Jones would have meant nothing but the honor. To Walker, in fees and prizes which the open champion can pick up throughout the country, it means many thousands of dollars. Walker, so diminutive that he feared his 120 pounds would not give him the strength to wrest victory over the long, hard course at Oakland Hills, won despite the fact he was in such a position in the field that he always knew the worst — knew what his opponents had accomplished and the mark he had to shoot at.

GEORGES IN 4 FOOTRACE OF CENTURY'

By JOE WILLIAMS, NEA Service Writer. lEORGES CARPENTIER’S first money grabbing expe- - aition in this country was entitled “The Battle of the Century.” His last one—and It certainly ought to be his last one—will go down in the carefully edited records as “The footrace of the Century.” From start to finish the Frenchman took it on the run in his little fistic pleasantry with Tommy Gibbons at Michigan City on May 31, pausing only at discreet and sagely spaced intervals to swing a wild, impotent hand in the general direction of the St. Paul Irishman. Contrasted with the noble stand put forth by another Frenchman, Eugene Criqui. against Johnny Dundee last fall, the scurryings of Carpentier were nothing short of disgraceful. Oriqui gave the fans a rjin for their money. For that matter so did Carpentier, but it was a run that would easily have matched the high voltage strides of a Paddock or a Murchison Carpentier did absolutely nothing to earn his $75,000 guarantee except to pose *gracefully for the

HELEN ATTRACTS TENNIS THRONG English Crowd Courts to See Miss Wills Play. By t’nite/1 Press LONDON. June 7.—English sport critics today agreed that Heiv Wills. American woman tennis champion, showed form superior to anything she has displayed heretofore in this country when she engaged in exhibition sets against strong men players at Harpenden Friday. Thousands of spectators and many prominent English tennis players were on the side lines to watch the California girl in action. "They were greatly charmed by the play and the demeanor of the Ajnerican girl," one critic said. Mias Wills played F. H. Jarvis first, starting unsettled and serving many double faults. She lost the first two games, then started hitting with great flower and won the set, 8-6. The ,'alifornia girl maintained her wonderful speed against I>. M.

The Carpentier light, along with the other Cdrpentier fighting qualities, is gone. Had Carpentier stood up and fought in his old-time aggressive manner five have no doubt but that Gibbons would have stopped him in one of the early rounds. It is not easy to get a full shot at a man’s vitals when he is continually backing away. This was Carpentier’s method of keeping a worn-out fighting mechanism functioning. One spirited burst of aggressiveness would just about have consumed all his energy. At that Gibbons should have scored a knockout. He had more than one chance. The Frencnman was reaedy to go in the third and again in the seventh. It took quite a bit of vocal urging on the part of the parental Deschafnps to get him to come out for the eighth round. Georges was perfectly agreeable to walking out and leaving the party flat on its back. Gibbons may be criticized for not waging a consistent relentless attack. He has a queer fault of letting down in the midst of a winning rally. Time after time he had the Frenchman cornered, but let him get away through indecision and supercautiousness.

THREE GAMES IN TWO DAYS FOR TRIBESMEN Pitching Staff Gives Bush Problem on Double-Header Afternoons —Team Wins Four Straight on Road, Bjj Times Special COLUMBUS, Ohio June’ 7.—Three games in two days for the Tribe. One contest with the Senators this afternoon and two Sunday complete the Indians’ series here. Manager Bush will pilot his athletes back to the home town Sunday night and they will be sent through two days’ of batting practice at Washington Park before meeting the leading Saints June 11.

The heavy week-end program here is not to Bush’s liking, but he has a hunch he might squeeze through. If Ned Niles were in good form, the hurling problem would be solved, hut the tall flinger has not been right for a month. Bush said this morning he was considering using Ned in one of the three remaining contests here in to get a line on his condition. The Tribesmen won the series opener with the Senators Friday, 8 to 5. It was the Indian's fourth straight road victory and Fitzsimmons pitched it. Fitz was compelled to work one day earlier than scheduled, but he was willing and pulled through. Columbus used Palmero, Foulk and Sanders on the mound in a lesperate effort to come from behind. Three pinch hitters were used by the locals. Walter Rehg saved the game for the Indians by a diving catch in the eighth inning for the third out. Two Senators were on base at the time. The Senators outhit the Indians by one safety Friday, Campbell and [Hodapp each got two' hits for the I Bushmen. Hodapp handled himself j well in the field and Columbus fans I applauded the efforts of the kid : shortstop. The Tribe gave Fitz good support, not an error being made. Three miscues were charged ag; inst th - ' home team. Baird and Schreiber performed brilliantly in the field for the Senators. Baird accepted eleven chances and Hank seven. The former Indians tried hard to beat their old ; mates. Eddie Sicking grabbed everything within reach around second base. The Tribe keystoner is having a season. That was some smearing the leading Saints gave the K. C. Blues Friday. The Saints are going strong day after day. They are four and onehalf games ahead of the second place Indians.

Mr. N. Altrock .ESPITE SEVERE AND STYr\ LISH OPPOSITION FROM THE PHILLIES AS A TEAM, MR. ALTROCK STANDS OUT AS THE MOST COMICAL THING IN BASEBALL KIMONOS. -I- -I- -IOld Nick would look as out of place in the box today as a house apron in Peggy Joyce's suite, but he's stil! more important than a clew in a murder mystery. *l* -!- When Altrock lost his fast one and curve he went out and developed a sense of humor that broke three ways—funny, funnier and funniest. •I- -I* -INfCK WORKS ON THE SNAPPY THEORY THAT A DUMBBELL’S LAUGH GETS MORE CIRCULATION THAN AN INTELLECT CAL’S GROAN. •I- -I- -ITHEY pay Judge Landis $42,500 a year to dignify baset-., hall. Altrock gets a whole lot less for burlesquing it. Still you never hear little Johnny pleading with pop to take him out to see the judge. -I- -I- -INick went from pitching to clowning and there's a double-breasted sermon in that. No guy ever went from clowning to pitching—or to the boss' job. "r"T]ICK IS GETTING MORE JACK AS A JESTER THAN HE DID AS A STAR WITH THE WHITE SOX. HOME KI NS FRIDAY Ruth.
