FILM STAR GAVE
MANY PRESENTS
SAYS WITNESS
Numerous Men Received
Jewelry From Clara,
According To Daisy.
BY RONALD w. WAGNER
United Press Staff Correspondent

On1teO freSS StaII correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Jan. IT. U.Pl-
Details of the private life of Clara
Bow were written into the records
of Los Angeles county today in
words as flaming as her famous red
hair.
Daisy De Voc, the screen stars
former secretary, had promised she
would tell ALL when called to testi-
fy at her grand theft trial-and she
Kept her word.
Among the things De Voc, charged
with appropriating Miss Bows
money to her own use, revealed
were:
Clara paid $4,000 for an engage
ment ring everyone thought one Of
her men friends had given her.
She bought a $4,000 watch and
locket for DR.. Earl Pierson, young
Texas physician.
She favored Harry Richman, New
York night club king, with a $4,000
diamond studded. watch.
She celebrated the birthday OF
Lotnar Mendes, film director, by
giving him 5000 star sapphire ring.
Clara's hair was not red when she
was little girl in Brooklyn, but
Daisy made it that way by using
liberal applications of henna.
The stars liquor bills ran into big
figures.
Clara loves to gamble and her
losses sometimes were very large.
After Miss De Voc had expended
on many of her declarations, Judge
William c. Doran recessed the trial
until Monday, when Miss De Voc
will continue her recital.
Miss De Voc sat forward in the
witness chair and looked intently
at Nathan o. Freeman, her attor-
ney, as he questioned and she an
sWered.
Notes Confiscated
She was working in Hollywood
studio as a hairdresser about two
years ago when she met Miss Bow
and received the offer of a job as
the film stars secretary at salary
of $75 a week, she said.
Miss De Voc declared she paid for
liquor many times and recalled one
bill which was about $275."
At this point Deputy District At.
torney Dave Clark noticed Daisy
was glancing in little, black note
book she was holding and he askec
her when she wrote her notes.
Il made them in court" the de-
fendant replied.
Judge Doran explained to Miss De
Voc that it was against the rules
to make notes and she handed him
the. note book.
Miss Bow was not in court to hear
herself described as being extreme
ly careless with money and inclined
to scold Daisy for keeping things
straight.
Whenever she would find me at
work on the check stubs, she would
grab them and strew them on the
floor" Daisy told the jury with just
trace of pout. "She would tell
me there were other things she
wanted me to do, and not to waste
time on such foolishness."
Just before Miss De Voc Started
to testify, her attorney moved that
the charges be dismissed for lack OF
evidence.
Judge Doran weighed the matter
Tor moment and then ruled the
case should continue.

Vests ClOut Cut
By Scoring Rule

THAT rousing hit by Sammy West
J. that won the second game yes
terday for the Nationals looked
good enough for home run, but as
Harry Rice. toting the decisive
counter to the plate, had only to
travel from second base the big blow
had to be scored as a double only.
Section 4 of rule 70, the first OF
base balls official rules of scoring, is
responsible. Here's what it says:
IF, in the last half Of the final
inning, with the winning run on
base, the batsman drives home that
run. credit shall be given him for as
many bases as, in the judgment Of
the official scorer. he would have
made under normal conditions; that
number, however, not to exceed the
number of bases advanced by the
runner, except when the batsman
drives a fair ball out of the playing
field he shall receive credit for a
home run. provided he legally
touches each base in proper order"
West didn't drive the ball out Of
the park, so he couldn't be credited
with a homer. But what he did was
enough.

They won their final brackets today
in decisive fashion, neither losing set
in the semi-finals. Richards defeated
Karel Kozeluh, European champion,

victory over Howard Kinsey Of San
Francisco, Ga, 60, 6-3.
On the record of the years. and more
particularly 1881. Tilden should win
without trouble, but Richards played
so impressively today he enhanced his
chances with the galleries. In their
transforming tour over the country
Tilden won every match fr1m his one
time amateur rival. most Of them with

Neither lost a set in the advance to

Richards defeated julius Boise, Allen
Behr, Paul Heston, Bobby Seller and
Kozeluh on his victorious march.
Tilden had all his strokes working
to defeat Kinsey, but it was only in
the first set that he really needed them.
He ran off the first three games, but
Kinsey came back to take the next
three and contest every point. AS the
second set opened Tilden turned On the
steam and ran it out with the loss OF
only 10 points and no games. He eased
up in the third set to let the firing
Californian take three games, but his
cannon ball service and cross court

take a point when he wanted enc.
Richards at Best.
The Richards-Kczeluh duel was a
much more tightly fought match, with
long rallies which so excited the crowd
the umpire had to ask the 5000 In
the stands to restrain themselves while
the ball was in play.
Richards was in q volleying mood and
went to the net at every opportunity.
His service, his one weak point, was
working we'll and gave him a vehicle
behind which he could get up to the
net to smash out winning points. He
scored four service aces in the first set,
a high mark for him.
Kozeluh did not appear at his best
but whether it was his own ineptness
or the speed of Richards was mat

match from the press marquee, re-
marked he had seldom seen Richards
playing better.
Doubles Provide Thrills.
Some of the best tennis, and by al
odds the most fun of the day, was re-
