mT will take something more than an auto accident to prevent Thelma iDarby Willis of this city from winning a swim event. That young lady proved it Tuesday night at the A. A. U. meet in the Ripple pool. At 4:15 p. m. Tuesday Thelma was driving south on Keystone Ave. at Fifty-Ninth St. A car coming from the north forced Mrs. Willis’ auto over to the side. She swerved to avoid a collision and hit a bump. The slippery street did the rest and the machine over-turned in a ditch. Mrs. Willis was thrown out and considerably shaken up and bruised. At 10 p. ni. Tuesday Thelma was winning the open 300 meter breast stroke event for women at Broad Ripple. The girl did not take her swimming suit to the pool and was forced to borrow one for the swim. ‘‘There weren’t many entries so I thought I’d help out,” is the way she put it this morning. When asked how she felt today Mrs. Willis remarked ‘‘l’m all right, just a bit stiff. I might swim again tonight.” We can imagine some women \going into hysterics under such jkiroumstanees. But Thelma is of Sterner stuff. She did not go to bed and sniff smelling salts. She went out to Broad Ripple and won a race. One Is reminded of the time that Gertrude Ederle sprained an ankle at Ripple several years ago and then went out md set a world's record with her foot taped. Such courage is indeed inspiring. There used to be a time when man was supposed to have a monopoly on physical valor while woman was expected to faint at every opportunity. But not in this day and age. • • * EITTLE DOROTHY BOYNTON of Hollywood, Cal., made a big hit with the swim fans at the Ripple Tuesday night. She is only It years old. If she improves as she gets older the youngster is a coming diving champion. Her exhibition was really remarkable. She is here with her father, Richard Poynton. The girl has appeared in the movies for William Fox productions. Dorothy won second place In the national junior diving at Detroit last week. Some say that she was entitled to first honors. If she dove In the form displayed Tuesday night we wVnild like to see the girl who beat her. • • • SHE Indians are not at home. They won't be at Washington Park until Sept. 4. The I’ans probably are anxious to see fcome baseball. Why not see a good game at the Tribe diamond Thursday between, the A. B. C.s and Indianapolis Light and Heat club? Both teams play good ball. The L. and H. club is one of the best to represent this city in many years. Each team has won one game. It is the "rubber” contest. And, besides seeing a ball game, those who witness the battle will be aiding the Indianapolis Amateur Baseball Association in raising funds to send two local winners in Class A and Class AA to Philadelphia for the national tourneys. You’ll see a ball game and help out at the same time. The association is not asking a donation. You’ll get your money’s worth. What could be fairer? * * * Some of these times there is going to be a swim meet in which no records are broken. A vacation means getting away from one's work. The best example of this we know is the case of W. R. Adams of London, England. Ho Is a wine taster for a large London firm and is visiting in the United States. The homemade stuff probably wouldn’t interest his fastidious taste. * • * !\ /fl RS MOLILA MALLORY’S IJVM tongue is as sharp as her l_ —ll tennis placements. The veteran star said she was greatly bleased with her present playing, phe added, ‘‘l suppose they will start calling me an American again, if I win. When I am beaten, I’m the ‘Norse woman.’ ” Under the Olympic rules Mrs. Mallory was required to compete for Norway, her native land. Her husband Is Franklin Mallory, an American physician.
Successful Year for Cooperative
The Cooperative baseball league of this city has completed its regular schedule after a highly successful season. Only one postponed game remains to be played, and it has an Important hearing on the pennant. J. J. Madden team is leading and must defeat E. C. Atkins nine in the remaining contest to assure first place. Should the Atkins outfit win, J. J. Madden and Roberts Milk would be tied for the lead. The race has been close all season. The league consists of the following clubs: Keyless Lock, Roberts Milk, Thomas Madden, Dean Brothers, E. C. Atkins and J. J. Madden.

BILL DOES HIS STUFF JJy United PrZTi ■SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y„ Aug. 18. ■illiam Tiiden vanquished three tennis players in the tournament play at the Meadow Brook Club Tuesday. A. H. Chapin also reached the round before the semi-final by getting a default and two victories.

ON TRAIL OF THE TRIBE; NEWS AND GOSSIP
Six in a row—down they go. The slipping Indians departed from Milwaukee Tuesday night and were due In Minneapolis today to open a fourday stay In the camp of Mike Kelley's Millers. How the Tribesmen will fare in the Flour City cannot be ascertained, owing to the fact the Hoosier pastimers cracked wide open in Milwaukee and dropped the entire series of four struggles. Having lost the last two frays in Kansas City before invading Brewer territory, the defeat Tuesday made the sixth successive defeat suffered by the Bushmen. Npeers Falters The score Tuesday was 11 to 7, Milwaukee. Byron Speece was knocked out In the fourth inning and Tony Faeth finished. Eddleman proved no puzzle to the Tribe and he retired for a pinch hitter In the thins stanza and Orwoll went the remainder of the way on the Brewer mound. Milwaukee climbed within one-half game of the leading Colonels as a result of taking the Hooslers for another "ride” Tuesday. Louisville played a tie game at Kansas City, 3 to 3, the struggle being called to permit the Colonels to catch a train for St. Paul. Yoter’s/Error Fatal The Indians booted away their Chances again. Tuesday. Yoter made a wild throw to first 1q the fourth Inning after two out, two runs scoring on the bad peg and two more markers following before the Tribe could retire the side. In the seventh Ainsmith had a passed ball that permitted another Milwaukee run. Five of the Brewer tallies, therefore, were gifts. It was the I bird time In the series that the Indians lost because their defense cracked. Maurice Shannon, crippled Tribe shortstop, left here at 4:30 p. m. Tuesday io loin the team at Minneapolis He said hi* bad ankle felt Improved and he expects to return to aetton in four or five day*.

‘Case of Nerves,’ League Head Says, but Players Are Left Out of Fold
• ROBINS GET CAREY Bv United Press PITTSBURGH. Aug. 18.—Max Carey, veteran I*l rate outfielder, today was awarded to the Brooklyn Robins <or the waiver price of $4,000. Bu United Press PITTSBURGH, Pa., Aug. IS.— The troubles on the Pittsburgh ball club have been charged off by President Heydler of the National League as a case of nerves—but the punishment of the players still stands. Heydler spent Tuesday here reviewing the case, which had its climax when Max Carey was suspended. waivers asked on him, and Babe Adams and Carson Bigbee were unconditionally released. They were charged with having been leaders in circulation of a round robin demanding removal of Fred Clarke, club vice president, from the Pirate bench. Heydler said it seemed to have been due to the mistaken zeal of players whose nerves were taut from the strain of a hard pennant race and that there was no conspiracy involved. But. on the other hand, he did hot change the punishment meted out. "It Is because of my firm belief In Justice that 1 do now go on recbrd to declare that these players, should they leave the club, will do so with a good name," Heydler said.
