Fourteen Year-Old Swimmer
Gets Ovation Before
Sailing for Antwerp.

Members and friends of The Eve
ming World Kiddie Klub hocked to
the Manhattan Opera House yester-
day to bid farewell, good cheer and
good luck to Cousin Aileen Riggin
before she boarded the Princess Ma
toika bound for Antwerp and the
Olympic Games.
The Kiddie Klub Reception Com
mittee, composed of the singers in the
cast of the Riddle Klub shows at
Luna, was there. It's members filled
three boxes to overfowing and Gre
ated quite stir because of the clubs
brightly colored pennants, which
every one carried, and because OF
their youthfulness.
The crowd cheered and clapped for
all the athletes, but the greatest ova-
ton was reserved for Aileen, who
is a member OF the Riddle Klub and
who, although only fourteen years
old, will represent the United States
in the swimming and diving contests
in Antwerp.
When her name was announced
and she had to stand as the others
had done, the raiters resOunded with
applause And above all the others,
little Jane Coffey's voice could be
heard callingN "Three cheers Tor
Aileen Riggin!"
After the athletes had been seen
and the messages from the Governors
of the different States, whose men and
women had "made the team" had
been read, Cousin Eleanor and the
Riddles left their boxes and went
down onto the stage TO present Aileen
with the travelling bag, racing suit
and $25 In gold which were their
farewell gifts to her. For every dol
lar, nickel and dime that the Riddles
gave, The Evening World gave an
other. This just doubled the fund
and made it possible TO do Just twice
as much for the popular little diver.
Doris Rainsford, u senior hluh
member had written some verses To
Aileen which were read by Margue-
rite Rainsford who assisted in the
presentation. The verses follow:

played Il dagger after seeing her go
10 n theatre with Allen A. Tatum.
Mrs. Trumbull's statement that two

counted for and the police believe

placed in It and put in the second

fort to locate the second trunk.
A now mystery was added when
the police announced that steve"
the express man who had taken Lc-
roys trunks from the Harper Avenue
apartment, had disappeared. steve"
was expected TO aid materially in dis
closing where the second trunk went.

band, Policeman Leo Trumbull, iden-
titled the slain woman's garments as
katherine Jackson Leroy's, revealed
that not only did Leroy surprise his
wife attending the theatre In COM
pany with Tatum, but that earlier
band dining with a show girl. At
that time Mrs. Leroy tried 10 com
nit suicide, but failed.

and subsequent marriage, as told by
Mrs. Trumbull, began when he was
