AUTHOR LOSES
| FIRST TILT IN
{ COURT BATTLE
Bedford Jones Plea Denied;
i Ordered to Return From
California.

2 Contempt Of court cases against
the late z. S. Shumaker, former IN
diana Anti-Saloon League leader,
and George r. Dale, Muncie editor
AMI now mayor of Muncie, were in
yoked in municipal court four Tues
day afternoon by attorneys for
Henry Bedford-Jones, adventure
fiction writer.
Bedford Jones, arrested here, en-
gagged attorneys to fight to prevent
the author from being returned to
Evansville to face contempt Of court
action in superior court there.
Bedford-Jones was not in court,
and when Judge Paul G. Wetter over
ruled the motion to quash the af-
fdavit against him his attorney,
Mark H. Miller, admitted the writer
had returned to his California home.
Ordered to Appear
Judge Wetter gave until May 9
to produce the writer in court here,
declaring the 81 100 bond posted by
Howard c. Marmon would be de-
cIared forfeited unless the writer is
produced in court.
Filing the motion to quash the af-
hdavit, Attorney Miller declared SUI
-preme court decisions in the Dale
and Shumaker cases are to the ef-
feet contempt of court is not a
crime and that return Of Bedford
Jones to Vanderburgh county there
fore would be impossible under a
statute providing for extraditicn
from one county to another for
crime.
Judge Wetter held that because
laws provide prison term for con-
tempt of court, a court can reach
into other counties of the state to
enforce its authority.
Refused Plea for Client
Demanding presence of the de-
PENDANT, Judge Wetter refused to
accept o plea of not guilty from At
torney Miller on behalf of his client.
Contempt of court proceedings
against Bedford-JoneS resulted IN
superior court at Evansville when
he failed to obey a court order to
bring a son into court in hearing
on custody instituted by mis- di-
vorced wife. Bedford-Jones has
welded Mrs. Alfred Bernardin,
widow of the millionaire Evansville
bottle-cap manufacturer, since his
divorce year ago.

.SHARKEY DECLARED
IN FINE CONDITION
In Better Trim Right Now
Than SchmeIing, Benny
Leonard Thinks.
BY BENNY LEONARD,

Retired Indicated Lightweight Champion
OF the World.
~ RANGEBURG, N. Y, May IL
Jack Sharkey looks TO me to
i be in better condition for a
hard training grind than Max
Schmeling, at this period,
I thought Schmeling was confident,
with a quiet Sureness, but Sharkey is
even more confident than Schmeling.
According to Sharkey, he is looking for
just another fight as he fought with
Tommy Loughran.
For his own sake, I sincerely hope
that Sharkey gets this idea out of his
mind Sharkey when it comes to box
ing, undoubtedly is the cleverest of all
heavyweights today. There is no angle
of the game inside the ropes that Shar-
key doesn't know and if he has the
mind to do so, he can put all this
knowledge into practice.
One thing that pleased me was what
Jack said in the course of our talk. /
had remarked that I was a trif1e over
weight, and that it was my intention to
come up here and do little road work
with him.
70, no." guffawed Sharkey, where
do you get that 'trifie stuff? Why don't
you come up here and box with me?
I need some sparring partners
This was right down my alley, that's
Just what I wanted to do, and I told
him so.
O. K," he said when do you want
to start IMP"
"Ilf be here Sunday, and we can
get started then"

EASTERN INVADERS
WIN BUT z Of 49
Giants Alone Better Per-
centage of 500 for Inter-
sectional Play.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

UST as the East had the edge
in the first interSectional
~ play of the American
League, the West held the
upper hand in the opening East
West series of the National League.
which came to its rather damp
close yesterday. With only the
Brooklyn Robins upholding the
honor of the Atlantic Seaboard,
the West won 81 of the 40 inter
sectional games, against % East
ern victories, and placed three
teams in the first four in the
standing for the series.
Brooklyn captured first place through
its 10-to-3 triumph over the Cincinnati
Reds yesterday as Dazzy Vance pitched
another of his fine games, while the
Brooklyn sluggers pounded out 16 hits
and scored eight runs in the first three
innings. This victory enabled Brooklyn
to boast two clean sweeps, two games
against Cincinnati and four against st.
Louis. The Robins also won three out
of four games with Pittsburgh, losing
only the Chicago series. The final re-
suit was nine victories and four defeats.
Chicago and st. Louis, which opened
the National Leagues second all-West-
ern series yesterday with the Cardinals
ninth successive victory, each won eight
games and lost four to tie for second
place. Cincinnati brought up in third
place, with eight victories and five de-
feats. The New York Giants led the
second division in the International
standing, with seven victories and six
defeats. with Boston, Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia bringing up far In the
rear.
Real Struggles Staged.
Playing in their home territory again
yesterday. the teams of both leagues
started out to put on set of real
struggles. The National League game
! between the Cardinals and the Chicago
Cubs was perhaps the best thrill pro-
| ducer, ending with a ninth-inning st.
Louis rally which brought 9-to-8 VIC
tory. After lot of hitting and sew
eral changes in the lead, the Cards
smashed through with four runs In the
| final inning to win. st. Louis led the
| heavy hitting with 81 blows.
The Boston Red Sox put on lesser
| ninth-inning rally to win the closest
American League game by a 5-to-4
i count from the New York Yankees.
The Red Sox needed but one run to
win after Bill Dickey's pinch home run
| had tied the score in the first half Of
the ninth, and they made it.
Washington's Senators, with Bump"
Hadley and Ad Liska dividing the
pitching burden in a brilliant fashion.
| scored more easily in both halves of
a double-header to take first place in
the American League away from the
Philadelphia Athletics.
The big leagues got a better break
from the weather yesterday, although
it was bad enough to hold the attend
ance down considerably. OF the five
games on the prisf schedule only one
the final clash between the Phillies and
Pittsburgh-waS rained out.
