SUNDAY, MAY 18, 1924. TENN ASSOCIATION EXPECTED TO RECONSIDER WRITER EDICT Old. Fashioned Ward Political Fight Now in Tilden’s Withdrawal From Team. Prospect Over Row Which Resulted in BY HENRY L. FARRELL, z (United Press Staff Correspondent). NEW YORK, May 17.—Another national vote of the United States Lawn Tennis association on the much dis- cussed “player writer’ rule seems certain, It threatens to develop into an old-fashioned ward political fight in which some soiled linen fication. ~ BROWNS SHOW HGnTING TRIM of Sensational Work Last Week Holds Promise. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, May 17.—In their sensational rise to within striking distance of tha league championship the St. Louls Browns have proved that they must be reckoned as a dangerous factor {n the champion- ship race, The American League has got to look out for them. Great credit is Cue to George Sis- ler, the “boy manager.’ Maybe there are times when members of the team do not agree with Sisler’s ideas but there is another factor for the team's success which more than off- sets that. It is Sisler’s work as a player and the confidence he in- spires in his mates when he is at first base. During all tho spring training at Mobile, the most con- spicucus quantity in evidence was the overwhelm!ng fondness of the Browns for Sisler and their anxious- ness to know whether his eyes would permit him to play. “If he can play that bag, we are in. it," said McManus, the second baseman," one «evening; © ~'* That sounded the temper of the team. They were more fidgety about Sisler’s getting into the lineup than they were about getting into condi- tion between tho rains that held them up. : The Browns have paddled their way. up from last place “in the league: to. close second. They only gotras high as third last season and even that did not happen until the Season was considerably older than this one is now. It was after they reached third place that. the inter- nal trouble begun which led to the elimination of Fohl as manager. The Browns started poorly this year and immediat were sot down as a probable bust. But they have not busted. They lost a com: plete series to Detroit and then turned around and won a complete serlee from the same team. That shadwed recuperation and backbone. Part of the success which they have had has been due to 000 pitch- ing. A team like St. Louis, if given good pitching, can raise ned in a yore race because the hitting is there. CARPENTIER IN HARD TRAINING French Champ Goes to Work in Earnest for Gibbons Fight. MICHIGAN CITY, Ind; May 17. Georges Carpentier went through & strenuous workout here this after- noon in preparation for his match with Tommy Gibbons here May 31.

Tilden smear- ed on their war paint, it was con- sidered certain that more than the direct issue inVolved would be drag- ged into the fight. “If Tilden is impure as an ama- teur, how pure are you?” Seems to be the mode of attack that Is to be directed at the small group of as- sociation officials who have gone after Tilden and who have been dictating the affairs of organized tennis for five years. The first handful of mua to ap- Pear as a weapon was hurled today by the leaders of Tilden faction at Watson Washburn, vice president of the West Side Tenhis club, Wash- burn also is a former Davis cup doubles player and a brother-in-law of Julian T. Myrick, former presi- dent of the association, Washburn who {s also a lawyer, drew up the interprelation of the rule which mado a professional of any player who wrote newspaper articles for “substantial gain” this rule also provides a penalty of pro- fessionalism for anyone engaged in the manufacture or sale of sporting goods, Edward C. Conlin, president of the Tennis Umpires association, and the leader of the Tilden faction, safd to- day that Washburn was interested in the concern that manufactures steel racquets, that he was a mem- ber of the board of directors and that he was also {ts legal counsel. Con- Un also claimed that he had’ forosd Washburn to admit his connections. While Conlin did not go any fur- ther in outlining his)campaign plans it is understood that the Tilden fac- tion has more ammunition of the Same kind and that it is prepared to show some evidence that one or more of the most prominent leaders of the anti-Tilden faction were finan- clally interested in the sale concern. Tilden so far has had no. active part in the campaign and it is doubt- ed that he is giving his supporters more than passive approval. He preferred an impersonal fight and he did not get on the warpath actually until the amateur rule committee of the association called him an evil in- fluence on the game. Former Grid Star Is Held LOS ANGELBS, Callf., May 17.— Roger Stevens, former football star and at one time pitcher for the St. Louis Browns, was held in the city jail here tonight in Neu ,of $5,000 bail. Stevens is charged with stealing jewelry and money belong- ing to a girl auditor in a local hotel while the two were bathing in a suburban plunge. FILIPINOS NOT READY FOR SELF RULE, SAYS JUDGE OF COURT THERE (United Pre: for Philippine Islands is a long way oft “if the right thing is done,” accord- ing to United States Judge Charles A. Johns. Judge Johns, whose court is in the Philippines, is spending some weeks in his native State, Oregon, before going to Cleveland as a Philippine delegate to the national convention. He irfilicated he would oppose any move to incorporate a Philippine in- dependence plank jn the Republican platform. “The Filipinos are not ready for selfgovernment,” he sald, “They are not educated to it and domestic strife is sure to follow independence, if granted at an early date.” Less than 2 per cent of the 12, 000,000 inhabitants take a news paper and, outside of Manila, less than .5 per cent,,read the papers, he sald, Every {sland, he pointed out, has Its own dialect and belongs to a people somewhat different from the others. The American public schools are making headway, however, and with the.growth of education the coming generations will gain the knowledge and poise necessary to handle ‘their own affairs, in his opinion. Judge Johns contends that it has been a most unfortunate thing that nite policy has not been shaped y the Américan nment in dealing with the Philippines, oh cn Aa That a horse may develop as much as twenty-one horse power in an em. ergency has beon demonstrated in a series of experiments conducted by the Horse Association of America. planned bet, Cal! the Tribune for highway tn- formation.

Jockey Mooney received a set of solid gold spurs. Black Gold paid $5.50 for a $2 mu- tual ticket. The western colt paid $5.40 for place tickets, and $4.40 for show. Chilhowee paid $12.30 for a $2 place ticket and $7.30 for show. Beau Butler paid $4.70 for show. The runn/ng of America’s most cherished turf event was witnessed by 15,000 persons. The victory of the little black colt was a tremen- dously popular one as he was liber- ally backed in the machines to win the golden stakes. Black Gold, in a race this week, ran a sensational mile and gave notice that he was in the most advanced condition of apy of the derby ¢ligibles. The wonder- ful race he ran today showed this to be a fact. Other fast colts died away as the Pace grew hottest, but Black Gold, never faltering under a terrific drive, stood the test to win. The race was run 2:05 1-5. It was two seconds slower than the track record, and one and four fifths sec- onds slower than the record made by Old Rosebud in 1914. The great disappointment of the race was the Rancocas stables Mad Play which was jostled at the post and never for a moment gave indication of posses- sing unusual speed or never got into}, a contending position. Black Gold was the smallest of all the derby starters, being not much larger than a good sized pony, but the littlest of the fed triumpher over larger and sturdier thorobreds. That Uncle Samey Hildreth was out to set a killing pace was plainly evident when Bracadal left the sta- ble mate of Mad Play, the Rancocas hope, was off in front at the break. The son of Fair Play opened up a two length lead at a killing pace. Wild Aster from the Greentree barn fell in behind with Beau Butler in third position. The balance of the field was strung out behind, their boys jockeying for favorable post- tions. Coming to the quarter pole Bracadale maintained his advantage and Alfred Johnson piloted Chij- howee up to take second position away from Wild Aster. The latter held on gamely in third place, For The Game’s Sake By LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright, 1924 Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, May 17.—The vote of the West Side Tennis club against unholding the player-writer rule sounds more impressive than it really is. It practically was a vote of the board of governors who had collected proxies and in any event $36 votes out of a total membership of 625 were cast. Vote of members present at the meeting were more than forty to four against the rule, At any rate, the official result is what will be regarded as significant throughout the country. The thing that will count will be the fact that West Side has more to lose by this vote than any other club in the country, If the attitude of those aboard the Berengarla and those who came to the pler to see the big liner sail for Huropo is any indication, Helen Wills fs going to take England and France by storm. And this aside from her tennis ability, that is to say, her ability to defeat Suzanne L’'Englen, Helen Wills has a sweetness of manner, a charm, that registers im- mediately upon both men and wom- en. Lots of girls can make a man think her charming, but when both sexes agree on this point it may be accepted that she fs absolutely a charming girl, Sailing with her mother, she acted and looked just what she is, a corking young college girl, going ebvoad to seo things and, incidentally, to play lawn tennis. Tennis is Hable to play yoo with a young woman's looks. ‘The atrain of competition seems to draw thelr faces and harden their eyes and as well to detract from the feminine graco of movement 88 an observer than Walter Mace, trainer of American Davis Cup teams, says tourn nt tennis {s no game for the girl who wishes to be the reigning beauty of the drawing room and the ball room floor, Thus far, her tennis has taken no such tol of Helen Wills’ good looks, in which respect she is. already world's tennis champion, No accepted | Then began the real battle for the lead with first Chilhowee in front for a moment and then Bracadale, The Rancocas horse finally gave way to the son of Ballot, which later led by a short length at the half fille pole, but Chilhowee held him safe, with Bracadale trailing in third posi- tion. Entering the stretch there was a scramble among the leaders for the rail and Chilhowee got it. Then like a flash from fifth posi- tion came the “oil horse,” Black Gold. Johnny Mooney circled the leaders and drew out in the stretch run to win driving. There’ was a great deal of dis- sension’ over the judge's decision’ re- garding the place and show horses. Many competent witnesses seemed to think that Bracadale had gotten home second, although the official saw Altawood fourth and did not mention Bracadale, which was on the’ rails, at all. As the Rancocas entry was heavily played, there was dissatisfaction. ———————— WISCONSIN IS MEET WINNER MADISON, Wis., May 17.—Piling up a total of 67 points, Wisconsin university, today won the quadran- guler track meet.

The flyers arrived soon after 11 m, yesterday, May 17. They had flown 878 miles across the open Pacific with no land in sight. The hop carried.them from the western to thé oastern hemis- Phere; from the American to the Asiatic continent; from possessions a. of the United States to those of Japan, and across the 180th mert- dian where they set ahead their calendars an even twenty four hours. All three arrived tired out a bit. Their planes had functioned safely although considerable adjustment will be necessary because of the driving flight from the island of Attu. Tonight the three flyers thought it possible that they might hop off again tomorrow, flying 495 miles to Yeterofu Island, another.of the Kurile group located farther south. The arrival of the flyers was a great occasion. Probably {ve Kz < kans and Asiatic aborigines corresponding, in a way, to the Es- kimos of the American continent— inhabit the islands, Scores of them waited on the beach to see the great birds from another continent, ar- rive “with men on their backs.” The sight to them was the most wondrous they had seen, But it wa no less welcome to the crews of the American destroy- er Ford, and the Japanese destroy- ers walting to ,welcome them. All day they had waited on the decks of their ships, bundied in Arctic clothes, watching the skies for the sight they had long waited When the three planes, Lieuten- ant Smith ahead, Nelson behind him to the left and Wado to the right, were sighted in the eastern sky, sirens sounded, bells rang and there was a demonstration such as faraway Islands never before Tonight the three flyers were the guests of the Japanese officers at dinner aboard a destroyer.
