YALE OARSMEN WIN
 HEAT FROM CANADA
American Women Make Clean Sweep In The
 400 Meters Swim

PARIS, July 15.-America Olympic athletes swept forward again Tuesday both on the water and on the land. The Yale crew; which is America s representative in the eight-oar races, finished six lengths aherd of the Ca nadians in their heat on the Seine at Argenteuil with Holland a trailing third.
 Martha Norelius. Helen Wainwright and Gertrude Ederle finished one, two, three in the final of the women's 400 metres free style swimming race with out any difficult challenge from the outside.
 In the preliminary boxing matches at the Velodrome DHiver, American knuckles swung with good effect, win ming four of the Opening bouts.
 And on the tennis courts, the United States advanced with few casualties.
 In the final of tEe women's 400- metres swimming race, the three Amer ican girls provided their own fight, all of them challenging for first place. The best position taken by the opposition was fourth, which vent to Miss Moles- worth of England. Miss Norelius took the title by spring in the last ten metres, Miss Ederle led to the half way point, where Miss Wainwright overhauled and passed her. Miss Nore- lius saved herself off the pace until the last splash when she forged through the water to pass them both and win by an arm. All three were across the fin ish line within a space of two seconds. Onds.
 Helen Wills of Californi ashvwed brilliant form in defeating Mrs. Sat terthwaite of England, GA, 6-2, in the second round of the women's tennis singles. Miss Wills seemed to be much more at home on the hard courts than she had been on the British turf and her game was much improved.
 Francis Hunter, wLo has been short of practice owing to an injury to his right arm, was dismissed From the men S singles by Gene Washer of Belgium after a hard struggle, 2-6, 1-6, 6-2, 6-1, 6-4. Hunter wobbled after winning the first two sets and Washer went at him with terrific intensity, lowing him down before the power and enthu- siasm of his attack.
 R. N. Williams, captain of the Amer ican team, defeated MacEaneur of Czechoslovakia, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1. He turned an, ankle and it was thought that the victory had cost the United States valuable player for Williams said he would be unable to continue. He came back later. however, in doubles match with Watson WLshburn. Washburn did most of the work and

RICHARDS SNOWMAN
 BUT NO RING EXPERT
Red Shoes Made Vicentini Drawing Card Firpo One-Man Spectacle

Irishman was mere curbstoneI fighter and Luis upset him in q couple of rounds. Rickard introduced Luis to another rOund-heel and a third. Luis stopped them also. Then he gave Luis something hard. He tried him out with a half-blind boy. Johnny Shugrue. And Johnny, although he could barely see. gave vincentini a capable beating.
 Rickard wasn't discouraged. Luis still had the red dogs. Next, Pal Mo ran beat him an over the ring but Luis. strangely. got. the decision. Rick ard began to plan another international championship fight between Luis Vicen- tini and Benny Leonard for the light weight title. He realized that Johnny Dundee was getting, old and brittle so he matched them. Vicentini beat Dun dee, but again the judges asserted their independence and gave a wrong deci- sion, this time to Dundee.
 Luis A Down
 Monday night Vicentini fought Rocky Kansas. Luis was a clown. He closed his eyes and famed his face in the manner of Jess Willard, when Kansas showered him with sweeping, glancing swats on the nose. He had no left puuCH anu AHnhdS WIS uuCklnS HIS right But suddenly in the eleventh, Luis copped the old, absorbent Italian on the head and put him out. Vicen- tini had qualified as the challenger of Benny Leonard. No matter that Sha- grue and Moran whaled him. No mat ter that he paws the air like a chorus man in a hair pulling match. No mat ter that Jack Zivic of Pittsburg stopped Charlie White and gave a beating to the same Moran who whipped Vicen- tini. Red bod Luis had stopped Rocky Kansas and that achievement, consid-. cred with his red shoes, would make him a great match for Leonard
 Zivie May Spill Beans
 Zivic may crowd Vicentini into an elimination bout before Rickard can get Luis into the ring with Leonard. The boxing commission was feeling unusu- ally imperial Tuesday and issued an or- der for a lightweight tournament to find Eeonard's match. But Rickard probably will find some shortcut for Luis. He may find someone else to beat Zivic if Zivic must be eliminated.
 Luis red shoes cost perhaps S2.5O two years ago. They may be worth half a million before he hangs them up.

 TRADING CLOSES

MEMPHIS. Tenn, July 15.-Trad- ing of players among clubs of the South ern association ended today under the league rule setting a limit on the time in which exchange might be made by the various teams, So far as could be learned here tonight no trades were made on the last day.
 Atlanta closed a deal today for a new outfielder, former Manager Good of the Kansas City American association club and Mobile placed Catcher Al Devormer on the voluntary retired list. Otherwise no changes in the personnel of the eight clubs were reported.
 The trading rule does not apply to purchases and trades affecting players ,f other leagues, but prohibits for the {

they beat Roher and Goettlieb of Qzechoslovakia 6-3, 6-2. 6-1. Vincent Richards had a hard time with Sleem of India but beat him S-6. 1-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2. Washburn met Van Lennep of Hol- land in a singles match and won 2-6, 6-1, 6-1, 6-2.
 ! In the mixed doubles, Mrs. Mallory and Nielssen of Norway defeated Mime. Dupont and Washer of Belgium, 1-6, 6-3, 6-3. Mrs. Marion Jessup and Richards of the United States won from Bme. Billout and Jean Borotra of France, 6-3, 6-1.
 Miss Eleanor Goss of the American team took a match by default from Mile. Conteslavos of Greece.
 America did not place in the 1,500- meters swim for men. Perhaps the fact that there were no Americans in the race accounted for this. Our men failed to qualify. Arne Borg of Swe- den came in second to Charleston of Australia who sent new world record of 20: :6 3-5. Charleston also made a new world record for 405 meters be- ing clocked at :10h at that point. Beaurepaire of Australia was third.
 Fash of the United States contri- buted three points when he took fourth in the high dive.
 Other results of the day were:
 The United States beat France by the wide margin of g seconds with 10 lengths of open water between the boats in the first heat of the double souls. Switzerland beat Brazil in the second heat. Because there are so few entries in this event it was decided to qualify both the first and second boats in each heat of the final. The Ameri- cans did not seem to be extended to win.
 The eight-oared trials were marred by choppy water which caused false start in the American heat. At 1,00S meters. the Yale men who swept the water in ther own country, broke the Canadian resistance and passed them swiftly. The American crew was com posed of Lindley, Spock, Kingsbury, Miller, Rockefeller. Wilson, Sheffield and Carpenter with Stoddard as cox swain

tby Leased Wire 10 The Age-HerAId) NEW YORK, July 15.-Luis Win. centini came to New York about fifteen months ago with letter from his pas. tor back in Santiago, Chile, certifying that Luis was nice boy and good to his folks; sheaf of hometown clip pings from the Santiago Daily Out. rage, informing whom it might concern that Luis was the lightweight cham. pion of Santiago, and a pair of red patent leather ring shoes.
 The letter was no great recommends ton for Luis, Some of the worst dubs on earth are nice boys and never raise fist to their mothers if there's a stove poker handy The clippings were not negotiable for a ham sandwich. But the low-comedy ring shoes were a theatrical variety, which qualified Luis for a six-round interview with a tough Irish taxi-driver from Joe Lynch's neighborhood up there back of Broad way.
 Richard No Wizard
 Now Tex Rickard, for all you have heard to the contrary, knows slightly less about prizefighters than Paul Re we're knew about motorcycles. All he knows are theatrical values. He saw The scenic qualities in Georges Carpen- tier. He took one look at Firpo's shag- gy wish-bone, his colossal awkwardness in his right hand swings, and recog- nized him as a great one-man dramatic spectacle. When Luis Vicentini came before him for a private workout, there fore, Rickard saw only those scarlet shoes and predicted that if Luis could just manage to keep them under him for about five preliminary flights, they would carry him to east street.
 An American scrapper would have been sheepish about the red shoes. An American never would have worn them in public. Luis Vicentini didn't know what a crime he was committing and because he was a foreigner, the New York crowds were amused, not enraged by the strange spectacle of a prize-fight- CT wearing Easter-egg dogs. They called him red dogs Luis and paid at the turnstiles to see him fight.
 Feared For Luis
 Rickard sent him against these tough Irish taxi drivers half fearing that Luis would step in front of one of his own right hand swings and vanquish him self by, a knockout. However, the tough

Illinois Tournament Draws Big
 Field Of Crack Performers

SKOKIE COUNTRY CLUB, GLENCOE, H., July 15.-Nearly all the famous tennis players who, coming from east, from the Pacific coast and from the Antipodes are to contend to the end of the week for the Illinois state singles tennis championship, ap- peared in the tournament today in first round matches.
 The fans gasped when William Til den, worlds champion, after downing his first round opponent in two love sets went into his second round match without stopping for drink. He did remove his well known white, black and red sweater during the four sets neces- sary to take him to the third round.
 Kinseys Entered
 Howard and Robert Kinsey, San Francisco, walked away with the first round matches with Chicago players as did Clarence J. Griffin, San Fran cisco, and k. E. Schlesener and Fred Kalms, the Australians.
 Besides the mems singles. a number of matches were played today in juniors and women's singles. In the latter events, Miss Marion Lighton, holder of the western title, and Mrs. Ruth Riese of Saginaw, Mich., women s singles, are expected to reach the semi final rounds tomorrow. Doubles in both mems and women's championships also probably will be started Wednes- day.
 The big upset today was that of Pat O'Hara Wood. second player on the Australian Davis cup team in a third round match with Alexander Squair, of Chicago, former holder of the western singles title.
 This eliminated O'Hara from the tournament. The score was G-1, 6-1.

M3: ALLEN won't play He took up lVN his suit roll and go-aWay bag and
 vacated Montgomery Tuesday. His departure was preceded by telegram designed to bring joy to the hearts of the Little Rock fans-the Travellers would play the rest of their home games at home. The joyful message was received amid the greatst volumns of silence and the hip-hurrahs of the baseball fanatics of the Arkansas city would have done great credit to the dead. No, sir, President George Allen will not deprive his native city of the pleasure of watching his baseball de- monstration. So preceded to his home town by a telegraphic barbinger of pleasant hours of diamond pastime the Little Rock mOgul departed from the Alabama capital.
 In Mir. Aliens generous soul he
 could find no courage to spoil the
 remainder of the summer for the
 citizens of his community by taking
 the Travellers from among them. His filtration with Montgomery
 promoters in which he had designs
 on CramtOn Bowl as the scene of
 his future baseball struggles with
 the teams of the Southern league

 son has been chucked by the board. It is likely that remOrse over the
 great evil that he was about to in- fIict on Little Rock fans cankered
 on his heart and drove from him
 the determination to carry through
 his project. ,7r
 Mir. Allen is of fOrgiving disposition. fay hn lnnannf of lack of attendance and of apprecia- tion of his picked-Over collection of uniform filters was loud and long. The vail of a thinning wallet is a mourn ful noted cry. So >AIr. Allen bayed a bsleful tune at the moon and threat ened the town with communication and an iHterdict on all baseball ae- tivity of class A professional nature. Now, however, he wires back the glad tidings to his people that with the same support that they have accorded his team in the past he would bring them home from their wanderings with scheduled regularliness and put on performance at the Little Rock park.
 
 Such true loyalty and love of
 community are quite overcoming. Yes, it is truly wonderful.
 
 President Allen went into his con- ference Monday with Montgomery of ficials. He was assured that MontgOm- cry fans. would support his team. To be sure, they would be glad, too. Of course, Mir. Allen, as a special reward for their aid, would readily give them an option on the franchise of the Tray elers for next year. Oh, yes, Mir. Allen would be glad to do this-yes, he showed about as much alacrity in agree ing as a murderer strOlling up to the gallows. Mir. Bradstreet, statistician of some merit, once gave Mir. Allen percentage of zero in his batting aver ages, so the legend goes, but now the Little Rock president has raised his average to some 125, 900 in the financial league since taking over the franchise of the Little Rock club.
