BON VOYAGE, “LOOT” f- — . lEUT. PORTER, matchII I maker at Ft. Benjamin I *—* 1 Harrison arena last season, left Wednesday for Panama via Cleveland, Ohio, hopping off for the Ohio city in an airplane on Wednesday noon. Always colorful and spectacular in his activities, the genial “loot” made his exit from the local post in startling fashion. Just prior to the air journey Porter had invested in a s7straw hat and, to make-his leave-taking of the reservation an occasion of eclat, insisted on wearing the new lid in the plane. Strenuous efforts were made to have Porter don a helmet and goggles ,but in characteristic fashion he spurned them and announced that he proposed to wear his new hat in honor of his departure and out of respect to Ft. Harris On. Porter climbed into the cockpit of the airplane, sat down and gripped his headpiece with both hands. Somebody twisted the propeller and the mighty gust of .. wind tore the $7 worth of apparel from the lieutenant’s grasp and it went so far, according to Captain Clark that it required .the services of a man on a motorcycle to retrieve it. Again the propeller was started and this time Porter managed to retain his hat in place by gripping it with both hands. The machine slowly rose and as it circled the field at a height of a hundred feet preparatory to leading Clevelanflward, the lieutenant, in one grand farewell gesture, rose to his feet and waved the hat over the side of the plane. Compared' to the breeze felt in the center of the cockpit, the rush of air surging back from the propeller along the sides of the body is as a sweet evening breeze compared to a Kansas tornado. It was into this lusty hurricane that Porter waved his hat. A little puff of shredded straw greeted the gaze of the awed farewell party. One million tiny particles of straw hat were broadcast over the entire military reservation, ancT out of the mist gently floated to earth the gaudily-colored ribbon that had adorned tho $7 hat. Bon voyage. Harold. * * * SLUGGING THE BALL r~|HE American Association I | I teams are slugging the I * 1 ball. Five of the clubs are over the .300 mark as compared to only one in the American League and none in the National. The Indians v havo an average of .303, acconJing to the last figures, and are ffth in batting. • Milwaukee is leading the A. A. with a percentage of .317. That is a tremendous mark for a team average. Louisville is second, Kansas City, third, and Toledo, fourth. St. Paul is only two points below .300. “The “slugging” Millers are seventh with .202, which is a higher average than Cincinnati, which is leading the National with -288. The New York Yankees are the only ones in the majors smacking the ball better than .300. The exact figure at the last compilation was .309. It is interesting to note that the two teams leading the hitting in he majors also are* leading their respective league. Louisville, on top in the A. A., is second In hitting, only two points below Milwaukee. Hits are needed to win ball games. • * * According to cabled dispatches from Paris telling of the Grand Prix horse race at Longelianips Premier Briand was on hand. When the horses made three false starts before the race began the Premier chuckled and remarked to United States Ambasadbr Herrick: “They get away as badly as my new cabinet.” * * * r "I LOCAL golf pro was hookAJ ing ' and sllcin s- He s°t “sore” finally and started throwing his clubs. His caddy did not have the nerve to say anything to the club tosser but whispered to one of the others, “Say, would you mind telling him to throw his clubs the same direction he slices the ball. “He always fires his clubs the opposite way. It would make it a lot easier for me If he would throw his clubs In the same direction the ball goes.” * * * Did you ever pick any milk? That’s an expression of Chapin, new western singles champion in tonnis. When an opponent keeps flicking the white lines of the court with well placed drives, Chapin says he is “Picking milk.” • • • B. I. C. Norton was quite a favoritq,at the western tennis'meet last week. There is something very likable about him. After making a poor shot he would say to himself, “Oh, Norton, Norton, Norton, what’s the matter?” or “What a silly shot.” The crowd got many laughs from his remarks, but the fans never laughed at him. In almost every match the spectators were “for” him. • • • L—.'VJITE a distinguished young f j man joined the hole-in-one club Sunday at Riverside golf course. Julian C. Ralston who lives at “Hoosier Home” on Forty-Eighth St., west of Mlehi-, gan Rd., made the fourteenth hole in one shot while playing in a foursome. The others in the group were Hebe Williams, Jack Thatcher and Tom Neale. Ralston was too modest to report the hapening but one of his companions “told on him”. Young Ralston is a partner in the law firm of Ralston, Gates, Lairty, l VanNuys and Barnard. He is the son of the late United Estates Senator Samuel M. Ralston.

SUZANNE WITHDRAWS FROM SINGLES IN TENNIS TOURNAMENT

INDIANS MOVE UP IN RACE Tribesmen Tie Brewers for Second Place—Sunday Twin Bill Divided. Bu Times Special TOLEDO, June 28.—Fourth game of the Toledo series faced the Indians today after taking of three over the week-end and climbing into a tid for second place in the A. A. flag race. The Hoosiers, under Acting Manager Sicking, won Saturday, 5 to 4, and broke even in the double header Sunday. The Tribe won the first tilt Sunday, 6 to 3, but lost the nightcap contest, 9 to 5. Henry pitched the wining struggle and Hill and Niles were the victims of the defeat. The Indians got their share of base hits in both battles, Sunday, twelve safeties in the opener and eleven in the wind-up. Hill pitched in a tired manner in the finale Sunday and the Hens were able to pull through to victory. Four runs in the fifth and three in the eighth enabled the men of Stengel to win the second half of the Sabbath bill. The three markers in the eighth were scored off Niles, who took up the hurling in the seventh. The Indians have won twelve games and lost six on the present road trip and are doing very well despite a number of double-headers. They are three and one-half games back of the league-leading Colonels, who "actually” lost a battle Sunday in a double bill at Columbus. The Indians beat an old friend in the series opener at Toledo Saturday. Ernie Maun, a mainstay with the Tribe in 1925, pitched good ball, but hist former buddies nosed him out in ten innings, 5 to 4. Tn the tenth stanza Saturday, Wyatt tripled and scored the winning run after two out on Munson’s double. Manager Stengel of the Hens was fanned by Speece for the game-ending out, leaving Koehler, who walked and stole second, stranded. Speece relieved Wlsner in the eighth Saturday, checked a rally and finished in amazing style. He entered the fracas with two Hens on base and none out, stopped the opposition cold and finished the battle without allowing a hit. Stengel almos;: snared Wyatt’s drive Saturday that went for three bases, but crashed into the wall and dropped the pellet.

French Star, 111, Defaults at Wimbledon —H. Kinsey Goes to Semi-Finals. By Henry L. Farrell United I’resj Staff Correspondent. WIMBLEDON, June 28. —Suzanne Lenglen, world's champion woman tennis player, today defaulted and retired from singles competition in the All-England tournament here. “Mile. Lenglen is practically certain to withdraw from the entire tournament,” a spokesman for the French star told the United Press. “Sho suffers severe pain and is unable to close her hand over her racquet handle.” The experts are wondering whether her withdrawal foreshadows her permanent retirement from tennis. The trouble with her hand Is presumed to-be more of the rheumatism which almost caused her to withdraw last week. Mile. Lenglen's spokesman said Suzanno did not actually leave the hotel as was announced here, but was going downstairs to motor to the courts when the pain suddenly became severe. Up to that time she had felt all right. Lenglen’s opponent today was to have been Miss C. Beckingham. They were to have played for a place among the last eight survivors of the women's singles. Among Suzanne’s prospective opponents was Elizabeth Ryan of California, whose flashing play last- week in the doubles match in which she and Mary K. Browne defeated Suzanne and Didl Vla&to, caused many to believe she would provide the French girl with opposition such as she rarely meets. Howard Kinsey of California today entered the semi-finals of the men's singles by defeating P. D. B. Spence, of South Africa, 6-3, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. Jacques Rrugnon defeated C. H. Kingsley, an Englishman, 6-2, 4-ti, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4. Lenglen scratched from singles play only, it was announced, and will decide later whether to appear in mixed doubles competition. Elizabeth R.van, America’s hope in the women’s singles, was eliminated by Mrs. Kitty McKane Godfrey, 1-6, 6-4, 6-0. The Californian was obviously ill. She was forced to postpone the match which originally was set for Saturday and still was out of condition today. Mrs. Marlon Z. Jessup of Wilmington, Del., and G. R. O. Crole-Rees won their mixed doubles match from Mrs. R. R. Jackson and E. Zemla, 6-2, 8-6. Did! Vlasto of France went into the semi-finals of women's singles by defeating Miss G. K. Sterry, 3-6, G-3, 6-3. Howard Kinso yand Vincent Richards, American doubles pair, won from B. Meyer and S. W. Bobb, 6-4, 6-0, 6-3. Henri Cochet wont into the semifinals by defeating J. C. Gregory, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3. The French Champion was extended by his Brftisch opponent in what was believed would be a straight set victory.

WASHINGTON CREW RULES FAVORITE AT REGATTA Splendid Weather as Oarsmen Prepare for Mighty Struggle—Huge Crowds on Hand for Race. By Paul W. White United Press Staff Correspondent. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 28.—Nineteen shells, each filled with powerful young men who have spent long hours with tortured muscles in preparation for this afternoon were to sweep down the Hudson River today in the three events that make up the twenty-ninth annual regatta of the Intercollegiate Rowing Associaion.

Eight varsity, l six junior varsity and five freshman crews were en tered in the races, which with fair weather, was expected to attract a crowd of close to 70,000. In the varsity event the “Dope,” which frequently is as fickle as the Hudson Itself, favored either Washington or the Navy, with the former receiving the bulk of support. The Huskies from the Northwest won in 1923 and 1924. Last year they were barely nosed out by the Middles. The morning promised perfect weather for the race. The sun was bright and warm. The river was of mirror-like smoothness. Crowd Arrives Poughkeepsie began filling up Sunday with Its regatta crowds. Sunday night there wasn’t a room to be had in any hotel in town. Garages were filled with automobiles. Early today more began arriving. A stir of excitement waa caused today when rumors went around that there had been a complete change In the boating of the Syracuse crew, which always has been a rather mysterious entrant. No one at th b Syracuse camp would give any specific Information, however, but there were stories that when the Syracuse varsity took th© water this evening it would be a far different arrangement of men than that announced. The luck of th® draw for positions favored Washington. The “Huskies” had fro. 1 lane, hugging the west shore of the river, which is more protected from the winds that .Visually blow up on the Hudson as the sun is setting. The Navy, In No. 5 lane, was fairly far out In the river. The Ixist Mile In the last mile of the race, when the splder-Hke suspension bridge three miles from Crum elbow is passed, the wind begins to mean something—and it is over that last mile, when the sweep-swingers are straining their lungs, legs, arms and backs, that a respite is most helpful. The race for third position may be even more spirited than that for first place. Wisconsin and Penn are favored,. but Cornell and California should provide plenty of competition. Columbia and Syracuse are believed out of it. Washington’s Junior Varsity Eight also is expected to come home first, with California its principal

rival. Pennsylvania, Cornell, Syracuse and Columbia also are entered and their chances are rated in about that order. Columbia and California are favored for the freshman event. The freshman raco is scheduled to start at 5:15 p. m., the junior varsity at 5:15 and,the varsity at 6:ls—eastern standard time.

Smith Vs. Gray in Negro Feature

i The meeting between K. O. George Smith and Hiawatha Gray ih a ten round feature battle on the all Negro boxing card, to be presented at Tomlinson Hall Wednesday night, is causing lots of discussion among the Negro sport followers of the city and promises to be a slam-bang affair. While Smith is being made the favorite by the wise ones on account of his sterling record in the roped arena, there are hundreds of boosters for tho smart Hiawatha, who contend his long ring experience, coupled with his strength and fine condition, will enable him to prevail over the much-touted K. O. artist. Jimmy Cross, matchmaker, announces closing of the entry list for tha battle-royal which is to close the fistic entertainment. Cross has promised to give a place on the next Negro card to the two boys making the best showing in the battle-royal, and as a consequence has |>een swamped with appeals for chances in the five-cornered melee. Practically all the contestants on Wednesday night’s card are training each afternoon at Solly Epstein’s gymnasium, and the public is Invited to watch the workouts, which start at 2 o’clock. BACK WITH PEORIA Pitcher Bill Shupe, who starred for Peoria last season, has been returned to the Tractors by the Des Moines Club of the Western League. Pticher Ludlam, from the University of Illinois, has joined Peoria.

Brassie IRDIES By DICK MILLER

M" ■ n ANY of the golfers who played tit South Grove Saturday and a___J Sunday were ut loss to understand the sudden increase of five or six stroke* on their score cards. Son:} were of the belief that it waa the hard condition of the ground on the fairways, which are in need of rain. Few gave credit deserved to the sportlneas of the new green of holes 8, 9 and 16. The three newly builtup greens were opened for play by Harry Schopp, professional, Saturday. Number 9 is Washington strain-bent grass and the other two Virginian sfrain. It is really remarkable how the green have developed since being built last fall. Schopp visited George Soutar, at Broadmoor, where greens are like velvet carpets and George gave him a few slips of the bent. Harry planted it and today the little nursery at South Grove has enough supply for threemore greens, and the three above mentioned are already in use. Getting back to tho addition they have made to the sportiness of the course, we might state that tho'No. 8 hole, called Waterloo, is now a mtshie pitch shot over tho lake. Schopp said Saturday about thirty foursomes were on the green. It has about 250 square feet of green surface, with a neck at the start of the green of twenty-five feet. Around tlie green are plenty of traps and you are cither on the green or in trouble, Unless your shot is short. Few players that wo saw Sunday were shooting a. full shot, and many balls hit the water. A glowing tendency to lift tho eyes to see if tho ball was going to stop near the pin a crass the water was the cause. True, a ball properly shot did hit and stick, but many were run up shots or wild of the mark. Score cards showed strokes unywhere, from 5 to 9 In most cases. The distance is 140 from toe to pin and a full stroke can be made. Don’t allow the water to confuse you.
