POWERS DECIDE AGAINST
SANTA ANA BALL CLUB
Minor Leaguers Protected After
Application Is Granted, Is
Commission Ruling

CINCINNATI, July 21.-The National
baseball commission in establishing
the title of the Washington American
league club to Player Heinrichs of the
Santa Ana, Cal, club and rejecting
the claim of that club today of draft
money established a precedent. Early
this year the Santa Ana club had ap-
piled for protection under the National
commission, and while it's case was
pending the Washington club signed
Heinrichs. The Santa Ana clubs con-
tention was that its protection should
begin from the date of application.
In rejecting this claim the commits
sion held that protection begins only at
the time the application is granted
and also that it is unfair to semi-pro-
fessional players to make them observe
the provisions of the National agree
ment when the club with which they
have been playing applies for protec-
ton without consent of the players.
The commission says it would hold
that in cases of this kind when pro-
lection is granted to a new club, that
the players will have to be resigned to
the National association or major
league contracts and that unless they
do so Of their own accord they cannot
be held by the club with whom they
formerly played as free agents.

CLASSY PADDLERS
To MEET TONIGHT
Freeth and HoIboroW Will Oppose
Each Other in Swimming
Tourney at Bimini
MEN HAVE LARGE FOLLOWING
Aquatic Enthusiasts of Southland
Interested in Outcome of
Professional Test
MEN HAVE LARGE FOLLOWING

The first of a series of swimming
tournaments will be held at the Bimini
baths tonight and one of the best pro-
grams the aquatic fans have been pre-
sented in some time has been billed for
occasion. The Bimini baths have come
under the management of Claude Bra
den, one of the leading gymnasium in
structors of the coast and q leading
exponent of the watery art, and the
swimming meets have been planned by
him IN order to arouse an increased
interest in the sport and produce more
of the class of champion swimmers
which the Southern California fields
now boast.
The feature of this evenings pro-
gram will be a hundred yard race be-
tween George Freeth and Frank Hol
land among the professional water
paddlers. Sweet, Conwen and Bowes
of the Bimini water experts will give
some exhibitions in high and fancy
diving.
George Freeth is a Hawaiian and at
tanned his present proficiency in the
sport by early training in diving after
tourist pennies from the Honolulu pier
He has been a life guard at the Re-
dondo Beach bath house for several
years and was lately awarded a medal
valued at $3.50 by congress for rescu-
ing nine Japanese from a wrecked
fishing smack off Venice. There are
only two medals of the kind on the
Pacific coast and only twelve have
been issued, so Freeth is justly proud
of the token. The Redondo swimmer
has hosts of followers around the
beach points who are backing him to
defeat Holborow, and as the two men
have never been matched before there
is an increased interest in the event.
Frank Holborow is we'll known
around local swimming camps and has
succeeded in annexing all the coast
records in the shorter dashes. In the
fifty and hundred swims Holborow has
equaled the worlds records made by
c. NJ. Daniels last year, % 1-5 sec
onds for the short dash and Sc seconds
for the century He was declared a
professional by the local branch of the
A A. U. a short time ago on ac-
count of accepting the position of life
guard at the Venice bath house.
Bimini will be the scene of an
aquatic meet of some kind every Fri
day evening and admission to the
events will be free. Two weeks from
tonight will be held an amateur swim
ming tournament. The program to-
night will be as follows: Fifty-yard
race for boys under fifteen years of
age, fifty-yard open, 100-yard open,
22O-yard open, high and fancy diving.

In the second round it looked like
more action for the bellboy taking care
of the Senators count. Briggs ana
Hester both worked Willett for free

moved up a peg on LaLOnge's martyr

and tried to squeeze Briggs home. The
runner caught the signal all right, but
James failed to catch the ball with his
bat. the result being that Briggs was
captured on the line between third
