brought against the New York

appearing in that paper in 1923 which
she contended made it appear that
she sang a song lauding the sinking
of the Lusitania.
Article by krehbiel.
The article, history of German
opera, had been written by the late
Henry Il. Krehbiel, music critic. In
it he commended incidentally that
enemy aliens should not appear pro
fessionally during the war. and SAID
''at the home of one of the singers
of an opera the sinking of the Lusi-
tania was celebrated with quip and
song and the clinking of glasses.
This last sentence, she contended,
made ii appear that she was the
singer OF the song. The defense, how
ever, contended that the article meant
nothing more than it said. namely
that the party had occurred at the
Gadski home.

SHOWING OF FAVORITES
SCRAMBLES DERBY DOPE
Some Race Hounds Decide There's No Standout at This
Time Among Classic Candidates.

No head-and shoulders favorite to
stampede the fans. The race is wide
open and it's one mad scramble.
Two weeks ago a score of trainers
believed they had Derby winners in
their barns-but row many have
changed their opinions. One after
another, Derby candidates have run
like platers. Excuses of all kinds
have been offered for them but, if
they were real Derby horses, no ex-
cuses would be necessary. They
would run like Derby horses.
And so, it seems, this chatter
about the probable Derby winner is
bunk. It's all right for fellow to
take a chance and toss away a few
smackers on his favorite. But how
in the world is a person certain his
horse is going to the post in that
event?
The favorite should be at least
20 to in the winter books.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 6.-This
Derby whirl is a gay one and a mad
one all right. Here Scapa Flow and
Rip Rap, the two colts who share
favoritism with Osmand, go out at
Havre de Grace and get trounced by
AL Weston's colt Jopagan.
II was only the other day that
brother scribes down in Maryland
were sending out words to the effect
that Jopagan assuredly would not
do for the Preakness and as for the
Derby, why the very idea!
Springs Upset
And then he made a monkey out
of the boys by running off and hid.
ing from the two big shots of the
Derby future books.
Scapa Flow has this excuse: II
was his first start of the year and
that lack of condition made him
swerve under the whip when he
was a furlOng from home.
Rip Zap has no alibi other than
the fact that he stumbled slightly at
the break. He had a sound race un.
der his belt two days before.
Osmand, it is Whispered about
now, displays a lot of speed in all his
time trials but acts up like a non
slayer. He usually tails off after go
ing half mile.
And that leaves everything up in
the air. No outstanding ponies but

Furious Scrap in Legion
Main Go. J..

Pete Sarnhento, the clever and ag-
gressive Filipino, was forced to un-
cork everything in stock at the
Armory, Thursday night, when he
battled Midget Mike Moran of Pitts
burgh in the ten-round main go Of
the l.egion's weekly boxing show.
Pete won on points in a whirl Of
gloves that had the packed house
dizzy with excitement. Moran met
Sarmiento with blow for blow until
the closing rounds when the lad
from Manila piled up enough points
to win.
1t was what the street boys call
terrific jam"
Speed Galore
There was very little. clinching,
the bout started fast and kept going
round after round, give and take,
not an idle moment. In fact this
scrap set such high standard in
local fstic circles that boys in the
future bouts will have to step lively
to satisfy the customers.
1t was the boxing delight of the
season at the Armory. Moran sur
prised many by his fine condition
and he gave his all" The midget
Pittsburgher was exhausted at. the
finish, however, and Sarmiento was
all over him during the tenth round.
The Filipino still was throwing
gloves and going at top speed when
the final bell sounded.
The semi-windup and prelim bouts
were below standard. Morry Grams
berg outpointed Chuck Feldman in
ten rounds of slow motion. Grams
berg got out in front and seemed
content to retain a lead without
'trying to flatten his opponent 1t
was short of aggressiveness. The
referee warned the boys several
times, but apparently they had been
warned on other occasions.

over Johnny Kloko in six rounds
