EAST VS. WEST
AS WOMEN NET
LEADERS MEET
Molla Mallory and Mary
Browne Clash in Finals of
National Title Tourney.
DOUBLES PLAY ALSO
By JACK VFROCK,
International News Sports Editor.
FOREST HILLS. L. 1.. Aug. 20—A
feud of long standing was to be resumed
here this afternoon when Mrs. Molla
Bjurstedt Mallory and Miss Mary K.
Browne met In the finals of the woman s
national tennis championship.
The brilliant Norse girl, playing
through champion, and the little tennis
flash from Santa Monica were to take ■
their racquets to settle the question of
supremacy between the Atlantic and
Pacific coast tennis for the year, a ques
tion that always has been much mooted
whenever California has sent her daugh
ters East for the national tournament.
Many critics predicted an upset as a
result of this match. They look for the
versatile Miss Browne to topple "Mar
velous Molla” from her throne.
Mrs. Mallory at present is in the best
form she ever has exhibited. In winning
her wav into tbe final round she out
classed Mrs. May Sutton Bundy yesterday
in one of the fastest and most thrilling
matches ever seen in a woman s national
tournament. In today's match with Miss
Browne, the wonderful driving of the
champion, her exceptional speed in cov
ering the courts, her great control of
shots and her fine stamina was expected
to stand her in good stead. It was just
a question of whether or not Miss
Browne's greater versatility and daring
net attack triumph against these quali
ties in the champion.
In the doubles finals, also slated for
this afternoon. Miss 'Browne and Mrs.
Louis R. Williams were t meet little
Miss Helen Gilleaudeau and Mrs. L. G.
Morris. This match was to be played
after the singles final has been decided,
giving Miss Browne a chance of landing
two titles.

HOOSIERS END
STAY AT K. C.
Indians Depart for Milwaukee
Following Series Wind-up
With Blues Today.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Aug. 20.—Jack
Hendricks' Indians were to wind up their
stay here todav and it was to be trie last
glimpse of the Hoosiers local fans were
to get for ttie 1921 season. Following the
struggle this afternoon the Tribesmen
will depart for Milwaukee, where they are
carded for a series opening in the Brewer
tov.ii Sunday.
Harry Weaver was the Tribe choice for
mound duty in the contest this afternoon.
The Indians suffered another beating
yesterday, the Blues taking the contest
by the shut-out route, 8 to 0. Cavet was
on the mound for the Tribe and he was
no puzzle to the locals. Bunny Brief
drove ont his twenty-ninth home run of
the season off Caret’s delivery and the
hit tied the American Association homer,
record established by “Cactus" Cravath i
in 1911. Briefs homer went to the new ,
bleachers in left field and was a real
clout. Wilbur Good also got a homer
off Cavet by lifting tbe ball over the
short right field fence.
The Indians got nine hits off Carter, |
but failed to bunch the safeties. Nine
hits represented the Bines' total also,
which indicates the Iloosiers are weak
with the stick when men are on bases.
By winning today the Indians had a
chance to even the series and the Hen
dricksmen were hopeful they would get
a few breaks in the game's luck.

stood that the Southern boxing enthusi

however, for he has won the last three
times he boxed In New Orleans and be
lieves he is capable of defeating Little
ton. Chuck will make 108 pounds ring i

this match with Littleton, but when New j

Chuck trimmed Gibbons at Grand Rap

scaling over the stipulated weigh; fig
tires, but believes he can reduce without j
weakening himself too much.

Two Teams Battle
for Champ Bunting
in Western League
Wichita and Omaha Giving
Fans Plenty of Thrills in
Great Race.
By BAY ELLINGTON.
Sports Editor the Des Moines New#.
DES MOINES, Aug. 20.—Leadership in
the Western League was as much in dis
pute today as when the season opened.
With eighteen weeks of the schedule
completed and only four weeks left to
play, the race rests between Wichita and
Omaha. During the entire season those
tow teams have alternated between first
and second places with a certain degree
of regularity and now Wichita is on top
of the column by a narrow margin.
Omaha leads in hitting by six points,
while Wichita heads the list in batting
by a 32-point margain.
Oklahoma City appears to have third
place sewed up. Sioux City, however, is
nolding on to fourth place bv an eye
lash. Although the lowa team has won a
string of victories recently, it has not
helped their standing a great deal as
Joplin, close on their heels for a first
division berth, was also turning in wins
regularly.
St. Joseph and Des Moines are tussling
for sixth place with Tulsa definitely
hanging on to the cellar championship.
Big League Stuff
Clarence Hodge knocked the
Yankees out in nine rounds at Chi
cago anil toppled them from first
place. The Cleveland Indians were
idle.
Ray Powell's home run in the seventh
inning •with one on gave the Braves a
victory over tbe Cubs.
Jeff Pfeffer would rather beat
Brooklyn than anything elce. He helped
the Cards trim his former mates yester-,
day.
Davy Robertson made two homer) In
the first Pirate-Phllly gume which Pitta
burg won. The I’hills copped the seconu
with Hubbell in fine form.
Fsdra! The Tigers and Red Sox
broke even, proving nothing.
Jess Barnes was given a five-run lead
against the Reds in the first two In
nings and McGraw's men managed to
hold it for him.
McGraw denies he has bought Bentley,
Ogden and La wry from the Baltimore
Ohio Orioles.
Taylor’s A. B. C~s Ready
for Twin Program With
Cuban Stars Tomorrow
The A B. Cs are coming back to In
dinnapolls tomorrow to open a series
with the Cuban Stars with n double
header at Washington Park, and the suc
cess with which the Tsylorltes hive con
ducted their Eastern tour is leaving local
fans with the impression that they are
going to see sortie real baseball from
the col ted boys during the next few
days. Single games will be played with
the Cubans Monday. Tuesday aud
Wednesday.
Manager C. I Taylor has forwarded
word that Diets Johnson, his reliable
veteran and Johnny Mahoney, a young
ster picked up on the road, will be the
twirlers sent agnlnsf the Cubans tomor
row afternoon Ail fans in Indianapolis
know what Johnson can do, and Man
ager Taylor is saying that Mahoney is
going to prove a big favorite with the
fans before he gets through
In view of the fact that the Cuban#
were defeated two out of three in their
first and only series with the A. B. C.s
during the early part of this season, they
should rente here tomorrow loaded for a
few real battles.
There is no doubt but that. Taylor's
team will be ready for anything the Cu
bans care to start. The locals have won
the majority of their games ou the road
this last time, and they apparently are
going stronger now than at any other
time this season The pitching depart
ment of the A. B. C. nine has been de
livering in great style, and the team's
heavy hitters have been pounding tbe
cover off the ball.

WEISMULLER IS
VICTOR IN BIG
AQUATIC EVENT
Finishes Ahead of Ross and
Langar in National ‘220 5
Race.
OTHER STARS SHINE
Ethelda Blelbtrey, Charlotte Boyle.
Norman Ross, Johnny Weismuller and
I,udy Langar have departed, and the two
days of swimming at the Broad Ripple
pool are over, but the memory of those
many sparkling events staged Thursday
ond Friday is going to live ou in the
minds of local aquatic fans.
Swimming has won a home in Indian
apolis, and any time Paul R. Jordan and
his hand of A. A. V. associates desire to
take the stage again, they surely will
be welcomed with open arms.
The last of Indian's four national
swimming championships for 1921 was
wiped off the slate yesterday afternoon
when Johnny Weismuller, Illinois A. C.
phenora. splashed home ahead of Ludy
Langar and Norman Ross in the 220 yard
championship for men The time was
2 minutes 2S 15 seconds. The race was
truly one of the sensational variety, and
young Weismuller's victory over the pair
of veterans was clean-cut enough to show
that he is rapidly mounting to the pin
nacle reserved for the world's greatest
swimmers.
ETHELDA NEARLY
BREAKS RECORD.
Indianapolis fans eame within an ace
of witnessing another world's record
breaking performance yesterday when
Ethelda Blelbtrey defeated an open field
in the 50-yard swim for women. Mls6
Blei) ’ey'* own world's record for the
distance is :28.4 and yesterday after
noon she came home in twenty-nine flat.
Miss Blelbtrey probably negotiated the
50 yards yesterday faster than she ever
had done, but she got away to a horrible
start, and was forced to travel at
terrific pace to get ahead of the field i
The start means everything in a race of
this distance, and if the famous New j
York girl had timed her leap more ac
curately there i6 no doubt but that she
would have given her rivals throughout
the world anew mark to fire at.
The visiting swimmers of national
repute were not alone in the f•nture per
forma nee yesterday. Indianapolis and
Indiana men and women paddlers com
l>eted in some thrilling events and won
,-everal rounds of applause from the large
crowd in attendance, t'hief among the
local performers were Regina Reis and
Euphrasia Donnelly. Each won five
places in various events yesterday after
noon.
JOHNNY PROVIDES
THE BIG IPSET.
Swimming experts who saw Johnny
Weismuller defeat Ross and Danger,
after having predicted that the battle
would be between Norman and Ludy,
were treated to one erf the most sen
sational dope upsets in history Weis
muller was away to a flying start, and
he eame up front his plunge from the
edge of the pool with half a body's
length lead over his opponents. Ross was
second, followed closely by Langer.
Ross pulled up even with Weismuller
at the fifty-yard mark and they ere
down the pool on even terms until they
reached the 106 yard mark, Langar
swimming a mighty close third. Just be
fore thev reached the only turn In the
course, Weismuller started to pull slow
ly away from his teammate, and Langar
pulled up even with Ross. Coming out of
the turn, Weismuller was two
ahead of Ross and Langar, who now were
going to it with everything even.
Weismuller gradually Increased his
lead, while Langar was slipping out ahead
of Ross. At the finish, Weismuller was
fully three or four yards ahead of Lan ;
par, who, in turn, was leading Ross by j
something like a yard.
The performance of Weismuller, with 1
everything considered, is made even more
remarkable. Yesterday's race was the
third real competition test in the career
of the coming f'hicaso youngster, but he
carried on like a veteran, and appeared
master of the situation all the wav. John
nv was plenty strong at the finish, prolv
ably being "lighter pushed for “cork’
than his opponents.
Charlotte Boyle, who swims with Miss
Blelbtrey out of New York for the Wom
en’s Swimming Association, was first In
100-yaril open swim for women, getting
over the course in 1 minute 113-5 sec
onds. Regina Reis staged a wonderful
race' to come from far behind and beat
Euphrasia Donnelly out of second place,
their finish being the next thing pos
sible to a dead heat
The fans In the gram! stand came near
stealing Jack and Jill's stuff yesterday
afternoon when the women s plunge for
distance came along. Jean Adamson, an
Indianapolis girl who made the big swim
carnival serve as her “coming out" party
drifted along to the 55 feet, and 1 inch
to win the Indiana A. A. V. champion
ship. Miss Adamson shows unmistakable
signs of the real plunger, and if she
decided to give this event a little time
she should gnd her advance to the top
mighty rapid. Miss Donnelly was sec
ond in this event, and Miss Reis third.

WAGE DROP TO
STEADY COSTS
OF PRODUCTION
Brought About by Price-
Cutting Methods of
Rival Firms.
PITTSBURGH, Aug. 20— Reductions
of wages of men employed by the United
States Steel Corporation, effective Aug.
29, as announced by Judge Elbert H.
Gary late Friday, will have the effect cf
stabilizing production costs, it was
stated here today among steel men. The
wage cut is the result of a cut-throat
or “wide open" market. United States
Steel and the independents have been in
keen competition for available orders,
and there has been considerable price
cutting to get the business, until prices
were lowered to such a point that it was
necessary to reduce production expenses.
An authority on steel conditions de
clared it is unlikely for the present that
there will be any announcement of price
reductions by either United States Steel
or the independents, as they are making
their prices from day to day based upon
the size of the order, its desirability and
how quickly it is needed.
The wage cut will have no effect on
the unemployment situation, it was
stated. Orders in hand regulate the num
ber of men being taken back. Trade Is
improving and the number of workers
going into the mills is Increasing. Un
til orders are more plentiful the cut
throat competition will continue, it was
stated.
The cut of 7 cents an hour brings wages
down to 30 cents an hour, or $3 a day
for a ten-hour day. the scale prevailing
May 1, 1917. In February. 1920. day la
borers received $5.00 and in 1915 they re
ceived $2 a day.
INDEPENDENT ACTION
IS UNKNOWN
CLEVELAND. Ohio. Aug. 20.—Officaiis
of the American Steel and Wire Com
pany and other subsidiaries of the
United States Steel Corporation said here
today they had not yet received official
notice of the wage cut ordered by Judge
E H. Gary in New York yesterday, by
which common labor will receive 30 cents
per hour after Aug. 29, instead of 37
cents as at jiresent.
Heads of independent concerns refused
to state at this time whether this wage
cut would be followed by similar action
ou the part of the independents.
While there has been a slight revival
recently in the steel belt here and at
Youngstown. Canton and other steel cen
ters. most plants are running only two
or three days a week and with greatly
reduced forces of men.
CALUMET FIRMS
ALREADY CUT
CHICAGO, Aug. 20. “They are merely
coming down to our settle. We have been
on a thirty cents an hour basis for a
month.”
This was the comment today of inde
pendent manufacturers in the Calumet
district on the report from New Y'ork
that the United States Steel Corporation
had ordered a wage cut in its mills. No
official notice of the <sit had been received
by the American Steel A- Wire Company
or the Illinois Steel Company, subsidaries
of the corporation.
Steel mills in the Calumet district
are running at only about thirty per cent
capacity.

BACKERS FIND
ENTHUSIAM FOR
WILSON IDEALS
■ " |
Women Start Nation-Wide
Movement for Foundation
to Perpetuate Name.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—Enthusiasm for
the purposes of the Woodrow Wilson
Foundation already exists among Ameri
can women and the task is only one of di
recting it, according to Miss v lrginia
Potter, chairman of the national women's
committee of the undertaking to per
petuate the ideals of the former President.
Mis# Potter announced the appointment
of Mrs. J. Maeolm Forbes of Boston,
Mrs. Kellogg Fairbanks of Chicago and
Mrs. Charles L. Tiffany of New York, as
vice chairmen of the women's committee.
She also announced the beginning of a
nation-wide organization of women with
chairmen in each State.
Plans for the foundation call for Its
endowment through popular subscription
and the use of the resultant income to
grant Woodrow Wilson awards which
will be comparable in significance to the
Nobel prizes. The awards, according to
a recent decisioh of the executive com
mittee, will be granted either to individ
uals or groups for "meritorious service
to democracy, public welfare, liberal
thought or peace through justice."
In commenting upon the work to be
accomplished by American women, Miss
Potter said:
“The work of the women's committee
will not be to arouse the enthusiasm of
the women of the country for the ideals of
Woodrow Wilson which the foundation is
designed to perpetuate. That enthusiasm
exists already, and onr work is to dig
the channels through which it may flow
rather than to stimulate and increase It.
“President Wilson, in those pronounce
ments of his which embody his theory of
world relationship, said the things that
women believe most deeply in their souta,
the things for which they long most ar
dently. They believe that mankind Is
capable of learning to live on the plane
of brotherhood, and they long for the day
when brotherhood, with peace and Jus'ice,
shall rule.
“Quite without # regard to party politics
they want to speed that day, and they
want to pay permanent tribute to the maa
who, of all modern statesmen, has most
clearly sounded its call. It is because of
the universality of that appeal that we
‘ have women of many shades of political
opinion on our committee. They want to
honor Woodrow Wilson the prophet of the
new day, not Woodrow Wilsn, the Demo
crat."
It was pointed ont that the Idea of the
Woodrow Wilson foundation was con
ceived by a group of women at a meeting
last Christmas at the home of Mrs.
Charles L. Tiffany, Franklin D. Roose
velt is national chairman of the under
taking. National headquarters have been
opened at 150 Nassau street, with Hamil
ton Holt, editor of the Independent, In
charge.
BOOZECARRUNS
IN DITCH; COPS
SEIZE 89 QUARTS
[Men Transfer Part of Load
to Another Automobile
and Make Escape.
Federal prohibition officers today start
ed an Investigation to determine the own
ership of an automobile loaded with
whisky which went into the ditch three
miles east of Irvington on the Brook
vllle road, nt 6:15 o'clock last night.
Three bootleggers escaped from the po
lice after a pursuit, but the automobile
and the whisky were seized.
Lieutenant Woollen, Sergeant Sheehan
and a squad of detectives were sent to
the Brookville road to investigate a re
port that there was an automobile load
of whisky in the ditch. As the police
car approached the scene the officers saw
an automobile, which is believed to have
had an Ohio license, drive rapidly away.
The car had a big start on the police
machine and got away. Two men ran
from the wreck into a corn field. The
police fired several shots, but the men
escaped. Some of the police took up the
pursuit of the automobile with the Ohio
license and fired a number of times at It.
The bootleggers' automobile was taken
in charge by Sheriff George Snider. In
the automobile were found seventy-nine
quarts and twenty pints of bottled In
bond whisky. Eight music rolls,, and a
coat, that is believed to have been the
property of one of the bootleggers was
