SWIMMING

American swimmers Of both sexes per-
formed sensational fea.s and displayed
clean cut International leadership In
1921. Not only did they shatter a great
many worlds records. but in quite .
few instances they beat by very wide
margins the best feats ever credited to
foreign watermen and uermaids.
Norman Ross Of the Illinois A. c. OF
Chicago may be rated as the years all
around champion among men. for he won
q long string Of titles and broke stand
ards all the way from 500 yards to one
mile. But John Weissmuller OF the Same
club stood out conspicuously as the fore
most short distance star. not only OF
the tweivemonth. but Of all time. Two
Of his performances. 100 yards In
o:52 s-5 and $50 yards In 1927 2-5.
place him we'll ahead Of the fastest
short distance paddlers ever developed.
Miss Ethelda Bleibtrey Of the New
York Wonien's s. A., who recently trans
fcrred her membership to the Ambas-
sador s. A. Of Atlantic City. proved the
peer among mermaids and did not suffer
q single defeat. Her greatest achieves
ment, 100 yards in :03 2-5, amazed the
world Yet her teammate. Mrs. Char
lotte Boyle Clune. deserves to be mem
toned in the same breath. for she gave
Miss Bleibtrey many a neck and neck
fght and bettered materially four OF tho
latter's International records. Mrs.
Clune's 220 yard mark Of 2:47 2-5 Is
rated on a par with Miss Bleibtrey's 8
quoted century, the finest achievements
III the annals Of swimming for women.
All branches Of water sports made
rapid progress. Warren Kealoha OF
Honolulu and Miss Syoil Bauer OF the
Illinois A. c.. topnotchers at the back
stroke, as well as Robert Shelton Of the
latter club, and Stephen Ruddy OF the
New York A. c., the breast stroke lead
ers. brought down the respective stand
ards materially. Clarence P1nkston OF
San Francisco and Miss Helen Meany
of the New York Women's s. A., who
topped the fancy divers. attained form
never eQualed. The water polo teams of
the Illinois A. C. and the Princeton
University. champions Of the A. A. u.
and collegiate games. were the strongest
yet seen.
Features Of the year were the triumph
scored In Australia by Miss Bleibtrey.
Ludy LANCER and Pua Kealoha during
tour Of the Antipodes, and the develop
ment at Yale Of the greatest swimming
team that ever wore college colors. Tho
New Haven watermen first over
whelmed all rivals In varsity compe-
tition. then engaged In the most ex-
tensive trip undertaken by q college
team and defeated leading athletic
club squads in the West. on the Pacific
coast and In Hawaii.

CRICKET

For the nrst time since New Yor1
entered the annual Halifax Cup cognpe-
tition. competing with cricket clubs In
Philadelphia, the showing made was
quito Indifferent. The representatives
from the metropolis had to be content
with q tie for last place with Philadel-
phia. The Merton Cricket Club was tho
winner after a close duel with the Ger
mantown Cricket Club. Haverford has
the champion cricket eleven among the
colleges. Here In New York the annual
pennant race Of the Metropolitan Dis
trict Cricket League was again won by
the Manhattan Cricket Club OF Brook
lyn. while for the first time the Benson
hurst Cricket Club. also of Brooklyn,
captured the championship OF the New
York and New Jersey Cricket Associa-
ton. The international match with
Canada at Philadelphia resulted In q
draw after only one day Of play.

the title round and forced the Harvard
man to the limit of his skill and endur-
ance to prevent defeat. 1t was only the
third season at squash tennis competi-
ton for Jay Gould. but there was no
doubt that he had arrived as one OF the
three or four strongest contenders. In
fact. in a team match several weeks be-
fore the championship Gould succeeded
In defeating Hyde.
Harvard Club also won the team
championship among class A players.
and Yale Club won the team champion
ship at class b. The difficulty Of find
ing a ball that would Withstand the hard
smashing that marks the stroking at
squash tennis has been overcome. and
the two piece ball now In use Is giving
general satisfaction. New York city and
environs have twenty clubs that are
interested In squash tennis, and nine Of
them are competitors In the metropolitan
team tournaments.

SQUASH TENNIS

So far as active open competition Is
concerned, squash tennis is still centered
In the metropolitan district. The head
quarters Of the National Squash Tennis
Association, its annual championship
tournaments and most Of its members
are all in or near New York city. But
the game has spread to the middle West
and in a single season has won hundreds
OF devotees in Cincinnati. st. Louis and
Chicago and Detroit particularly.
Alumni clubs are taking up the sport
with avidity, but so are the colleges
throughout the country and the athletic
clubs, and now there Is scarcely club
house or a gymnasium built that does
not provide for the installation OF one
or more squash tennis courts In the
specifications. The game has been well
coined as a great winter conditioner.
Harvard Club Of New York city. which
has furnished every amateur champion
but one since the national association
came into being. again provided a title
holder In Fillmore Van s. Hyde. who
was champion three years ago. His most
formidable competitor was Jay Gould.

Indicted White Sox
Players Face Trial.
Says State Attorney

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-Robert E. Grove,
States Attorney, to-day personally con-
Quoted a grand jury investigation into
reports that the indictments voted some
time ago against eight Chicago Ameri-
can League baseball payers and others
for alleged completely in the throwing
of 1919 worlds series games were to
be pigeonholed and the men never
brought to trial.
Among those called before the jury
this afternoon were Maclay Hoyne, for
mer States Attorney; George 7. Ken
nedy, his secretary; Thomas D. Nash,
attorney for four of the indicted play
ers; Hartley Replogle and Henry Ber-
ger, former Assistant States Attorneys,
who conducted the baseball invesUiga-
ton, and L. G. Edwardson, Chicago cor
respondent for New York paper which
was said to have printed the report that
the case was to be dropped.
While no official announcement of the
proceedings before the jury was made,
it was said that Nash denied that he
ever had said the case would be dropped
or that he had ben offered copies of the
original testimony for certain price.
Grove reiterated previous statements
that the case would be brought to trial
just as quickly as it could be prepared.
All of the White Sox have furnished
bonds except "Chick" Gandil, Claude
Williams and Joe Jackson. These three
men, Grove said, would be treated as
"fugitives from justice" if they did not
| appear at the trial, and an attempt
/ would be made to force them TO sur
| render.

Pratt to Join Red Sox

Del Pratt, whose heavy bat helped
keep the Yankees prominent in the
race during the last season, but who
was traded to the Boston Red Sox q
few weeks ago, has taken active COM
mand of the baseball situation at the
University of Michigan.
This is Pratt's first attempt as dia-
mond mentor, but already he has Great
ed q favorable impression at Ann Ar
Dor. Pratt has issued call for base
ball candidates TO report in Waterman
gym on February 81, but meanwhile he
will devote attention to the battery ma
terial in the indoor cage. Last fall
Pratt, who was in his dav formidable
football player, acquainted himself
with Michigan conditions and policies
by helping to coach the football re-
serves of "Hurry Up" Yost.
Though Pratt has not yet signed with
the Red Sox, Harry Frazee anticipates
no trouble in lining him up for his
team. Before he was traded TO Boston
Pratt announced his permanent retire
ment for the 'steenth time. 1t was
said he had signed three years con-
tract with Michigan, with the under
standing that he had closed his career
as a professional player, but this state
ment seems to have been somewhat far

Benton Harbor Man Offers
Also to Stage Carpenters
Bout With the Champion
By w. O. Mcclellan

The SHOWS and the pugilistic CON
ferenccs melted yesterday. Jess Will
lard, who was due to confer with Jack
Kearns and Tex Rickard, did not ap-
pear. 1t seems that he is still at st.
Louis. All Of this means that the place
and date of the Dempsey Willard bout
are still decidedly indefinite. The date,
place and even the probability Of the
Dempsey Carpenter bout remain up IN
the ar.
Contracts for these bouts were writ
ten before the New York Boxing Com
mission fixed the top rate for admis"
sions at $l5. The contracts seem to
have been rather loosely written.
Charles Cochran, the English promoter,
was the only person in the world who
took the matter Of forfeit posting seri-
ously. A post-mortem shows that he
actually had money posted in bank to
bind the Dempsey Carpenter bout.
At the current writing the Dempsey
Carpent er bout is being rearranged,
Rickard is taking it over, but the orig
inal purse will not stand. Dempsey al
! ready has agreed to box on a percent
age. Carpenter is yet to be hearo
from.
UaFueN EO EuSc tohb
Richard had agreed to- stage the
Dempsey Willard bout at Madieon
Square Garden on March II. He made
| certa guarantees to both of the box
ers, but that was before the Boxing
Commission placed the lint on the
price of seats. 1t seems highly improb-
able now that the bout will be held at
the Garden on the date set, if at all
| The next time that Dempsey and Will
lard meet it will be under the sky, as
before, some time this summer.
If Rickard prom otes the bout it prob
ably will be held in New Jersey in an
open-air arena. Jack Kearns, barking
back to the first Dempsey Willard bout,
is demanding the same financial ar
rangements with reverse English, as 1t
were. At this bout Willard demanded
and received 100000. Dempsey was
allowed $27, 500.
"This time" Kearns declared yester-
day, Dempsey is the one to receive the
100000, while Willard should be salts
| fed with the $27,500. What was fan
| at the first match should be fair at tins
one. You will recall that Dempsey die
not souawk at the thought of getting
only $27, 500 when he was not the cham
pion. Why should the other gent
squawk now?
"As far as I ana concerned, speaking
for Dempsey, these terms are final. i
"Tex" Rickard cannot put on the mater
here am sure it can be arranged a
Benton Harbor. l don't see how it car
be held in the Garden at the rate:
fixed by the Boxing Commission
Dempsey is willing to string along "ltt

bout will not be held in this part of th'
country"
