12 THE 3IOTINING OREGOXIAX, TTITJR ST) AT, JTTTT 28, 1921 TWO -IN BASEBALL PLOT CASE FREED Court Promises Acquittal to Three More Tentatively. CONNECTION NOT SHOWN Louis and Ben Levi Released While Buck Weaver, Happy Felsch and j Cari Zork Are to Get Off. i CHICAGO. July 27. The defense In the baseball trial today In three hours tore down the network of evidence woven by the state In seven days sufficiently to bring; immediate free dom to two defendants, obtained a tentative promise from the presiding Judge of freedom for three others and presented an alibi supported .by two witnesses and numerous written rec ords for a sixth of the 11 men on trial. As a result of the defense's first attack, Louis and Ben Levi of Koko mo, Ind., legally were freed of any connection with the deal through which. It is alleged, Chicago White Sox players agreed to throw the 1919 world series for $100,000. To Buck Weaver and Happy Felsch, once idols of the American league, and Carl Zork of St. Louis acquittal was promised by Judge Friend unless further evidence is presented against tnem, ana jjavid sselcer of Dea Moines, la., presented an alibi through his own testimony which was corrobo rated by witnesses and documents in troduced. Defense of Others Xext, Tomorrow the defense will begin trying to free Joe Jackson, Eddie Cl cotte, Claude Williams, Chick Gandil and Swede Risberg. First on tEe schedule, however, will be a number of witnesses from St. Louis to testify for Zork, the defense wishing to make his case as strong as possible. Following him. Weaver. Felsch and Risberg will testify, with Chick Gan dil probably coming next. The de fense does not expect to finish before the middle of next week. The state rested its case today after Billy Maharg of Philadelphia gave tes timony corroborating that previously riven by Bill Burns, the admitted ac complice. The defense then presented motions Tor dismissal of the charges against the Levis, Zork. Felsch, Weaver, Zelcer and Joe Jackson. The state promptly dropped the cases against the Levis, but refused to take similar action for the others, holding that they might be further incriminated through defense testimony, but ad mitting the case against them now is weak. Visit la Recalled. Zelcer. identified by Maharg and Burns, testified that he was in Chi cago September 28, leaving that night for Cincinnati and arriving there September 2, the day Bill Burns had testified he had conferred with hira in New York over the alleged con spiracy. Returning to Chicago after the two Cincinnati games, Zelcer said he was confined to his hotel here three days through illness. His testimony was confirmed by a witness who went to a ball game here with him September 28 and then traveled to Cincinnati with him. A hotel bookkeeper here testified Zelcer paid his'blll September 28 and left town, returning later. The hotel rec ords were admitted as evidence, as were later bills, showing he had paid the hotel for drugs and medical serv ice the days he sid he was sick. Others Also Registered. The state obtained an admission from Zelcer that he had registered himself. Abe Attell and the two Levis at the Sinton hotel, Cincinnati, Sep tember 30, presenting the register as evidence. Zelcer explained he had been moved to another room that day and had volunteered to take in Attell when the latter could' not ob tain a room. He presented a tele trrara from the Sinton received today stating he had registered there Sep tember 29, and that the register showing this would be sent here if .wanted. "I dont know Maharg or Burns or any of the defendant ball players and never saw Maharg or Burns until iney testuiea. zelcer testified. "I have known Attell for years, but did I jiot know anything of this alleged world series deal, and Maharg and Burns have made a big mistake in saying I am the man they knew as Bennett." The testimony presented against IWeaver and Felsch included only the statement of Burns that he saw them In a room in Cincinnati with other players who were said to have been in the alleged conspiracy. This testi mony was counteracted by his state ment under cross-examination that he was not sure Weaver and Felsch were there. Plot Connection Not Shown. . Harry Hedmon of St. Louis who Said Zork told him he was "the little red head from St. Louis who started the deal," was the only man who has testified against Zork. Judge Friend lield that this did not connect Zork eufflciently with the original con spiracy which the state's own wit nesses testified was abandoned after the second game, Zork's statement be ing alleged to have been made after the fourth game and coming up in a conversation about the possibility of the games being thrown. The evidence against Louis Levi was that he bet against Cincinnati and Ben Levi was never mentioned in the conspiracy. Weaver and Felsch were the hap piest persons in the court building when Informed of Judge Friend's statements. Tonight both were re ceiving scores of congratulatory tele grams and telephone messages. ' Weaver said he wanted to get back Into major league baseball, but Felsch was not so sure. White Box Job Not Wanted. "If Judge Friend takes that attitude there can't be any doubt in any man's mind about my innocence," said Weaver. ."I'm sure that no one will try to keep me out of baseball after that. I don't want to play with the White Sox any more for 1 don't want to work for Mr. Comiskey. I'd like to be traded preferably to New York or Cleveland and play the outfield, my original position." "If you play the outfield, then Til play the Infield, broke in Felsch. Ball Game Is Wnjited.

Salt Lake 5. At Los Angeles 2, Sacramento 4. The Vernon Tigers paid another tribute to Portland's highly esteemed reputation as a health resort yester day. After he had the game well in hand the Tiger chief gave several of his hardest hitters the hook so they could enjoy the rest cure. Bill says a trip to Portland is as good as a vacation for his hired men. Anyway, the game was about- the goofiest spectacle seen on the home lot this season, which is some achieve ment. The final score was 17 to 7 for Vernon. After Essick had put in an entire substitute outfield so Sam Hyatt. Chet Chadbourne and Stumy tiding! on could take it easy, the fifth pitcher used by the Beavers, big Elli son, the ex-University of California lad, finally managed to cut off the run-making. Pillette started for McCredie and lasted less than three full innings. Then Coleman replaced him, in turn being replaced by Gilbert, a left hander. Gilbert walked one batter before giving way to Queslnberry, who, in turn, was relieved by Ellison. No need of going further into the gory details except to say that in the third the Tigers sent 11 men to bat and batted clear around in the fifth.

DEATHS SHOW INCREASE Survey X'ecessary to Avoid Snags and Stones; Misjudging- of Dis tance Should Be Avofded. BY NORMAN ROSS. World Champion Swimmer. With swlmminfr becoming more pop ular every year, the number of drown ings is naturally on the increase also. The Red Cross Lifesaving society is doing great work in continually ex tending its humanitarian activities, trying to keep up with the need for knowledge in the art of taking care of oneself in the water. Its instruc tion in lifesaving methods is free to everyone who can swim. Anyone wearing the Red Cross emblem on his suit has passed the tests and will give Information as to where the tests can be taken. We have the welfare of the novice and the good swimmer alike at heart, and for this reason have drawn up a number of suggestions and precau tions for swimmers. If one is an ex pert, it will do no harm to review these matters: if he is a beginner he should read and observe carefully. For self-assurance and safety in the water, the first essential is to learn to swim. Naturally, it is better to learn right at first, under 'a competent in structor. The average swimmer is a poor swimmer himself and makes a poorer instructor. Go to a man who lakes a business of just that. After having learned, there are cer tain precautions which every swim mer should observe. It is extremely Inadvisable to enter the water Imme diately after eating; a wait of at least two hours is necessary. Hurrying to the beach and plunging into the cool water has resulted fatally many times, and always works harm. Do not continue swimming when exhausted; stop and rest, by floating or treading water. If you swim well do not misjudge your distance when swimming out into deep water. Re member it is always much longer back than it was out. It is foolish procedure to dive you bravely headfirst into water know nothing about. Wade in or Jump in feet first, and examine for depth and to see that there are no snags, or stones, or broken-off pilings which may injure you In wading in, never hold the arms above the head. Keep the hands the water so that you will be able to stroke if you step off into a hole. Never wave your arms around over head to attract attention should you be in distress. Their weight out of water'will be sure to sink you. It is a very easy thing to obtain mastery of your actions in the water. The body only weighs a few pounds when nearly submerged; and the only trick is to learn to move the hands and feet slightly to support the part of the body which is out of water. Self-confidence and calmness is all that is necessary. Once you become expert a new world, of enjoyment opens up before you. Swimming is such an easy matter if one will only keep cool and avoid any hurried action which will tend to cause his head ,to go under, such as throwing the arms out of water and trying to keep the whole body in the air. Left to itself the average body will float, and only a small motion, using the hands as paddles, is neces sary to keep the mouth and nose out of the briny. For instance, do not struggle if caught in at swift current or a so called undertow. The force of the current will soon bring you to the surface, for there can be no current under water which Is not fed from the surface. Do not be afraid of a large wave duck under it and you will come up smiling. If you are carried under by the. force of a wave or by a current, push off from the bottom if you can reach it; you will shoot right up to the top. If you swallow water, do not struggle and thrash around; clear the windpipe of water and you are all right. Never call for help in fun. Remem ber the boy who cried "Wolf, wolf!' when there was no wolf. When there was one nobody came to his assist' ance. Besides, 4n some states it is un lawful to call for help in fun, and is punishable by fine and imprisonment. If you are a reasonably good swim mer, learn the lifesaving methods, by all means. Every swimmer should familiarize himself with the methods of release in water, various holds for towing a person in distress to shore, and methods of resuscitation- As it is now most people would be unable to save themselves if they were sud denly cast into the water, let alone rescue anyone else. Any Y. M. C. A. will give the test, and anyone around the beach with a Red Cross emblem on his swimming suit will give informa tion on the subject. Ludy Langer and Stubby Kruger re cently competed in a swimming meet in front of the Riverton Yacht club. New Jersey, and won a 400-yard relay race, defeating teams of' four men each. There were nearly 100 girls en tered in the intercity competition be tween New York and Philadelphia, the New York girls, of course, walking away with things. Ethelda Bleibtrey, competing in her first meet since returning from Aus tralia, easily defeated the field in a special 220. Charlotte Boyle romped home a winner in the 50 and 100. A match between these two at 100 or 220 will be a feature event soon. JOCKETS HURT AT VANCOUVER 12,000 See Accident When Horses Collide in Race. VANOOCVER. B. C, July 27. (Spe cial.)

Leading Motorcycle Racers of Country Invited to Compete Here Angust 6-7. The Rose City speedway, where i two-day motorcycle racing pro gramme will be held Saturday aid Sunday, August S and 7. under the auspices of Over the Top post. No. 81, Veterans of Foreign Wars, will be in its best condition, according to Paul Schneiderman, who will manage the affair. Tom Holland, who has been, hired to put the track in condition, is busy smoothing out the roush SDOts. Fifty barrels of oil have been placed on the track surface. After the track has been worked the oil will form a fine cushion necessary for fast mo torcycle riding. The mile record on the local track is now 46 seconds, made at the Memorial-day races, but with the track in better condition it is expected that this mark will be lowered by at least two seconds. Schneiderman has com municated with many of the leading motorcycle racers of the country and a majority of these have signified their intention of competing in the meet. The riders will be equipped with new machines sent here by the factories especially for these races. There is also a probability that a foreign make of machine may be en tered in the two-day meet, for Schnei derman haa received word from Victo ria. B. C, that a Canadian racer is considering bringing his machine here. Proceeds from the race meet will be used in buying uniforms for the Veterans of Foreign Wars 90-piece band, which is composed of the lead ing musicians of Portland and is said to be the largest band of its kind on the Pacific coast. The band will fur nish a one-hour concert from 1 to 2 o'clock at the speedway each day be fore the start of the races.

The contest is attracting con siderable attention, among the local fans, for the Crown Willamette ag gregation, with a string of eight vic tories and only two defeats, is sure of clinching the pennant Sunday unless the Kirks manage to stop the Falls City nine. Both games of the double header will be played at Oregon City. Sherwood and Hillsboro, rivals of several years' standing, will clash Sunday at Hillsboro in what promises to be one of the bitterest contests of the season. Fans who journey to Hillsboro may be assured of a battle from the first to final inning in this game. Manager Bradley of the XTnied Arti sans will take his lodgemen to Os wego. This should result in another victory for the Artisans and again put them in the running for the cham pionship of the circuit. To date Os wego has not won a single start and as the Artisans have been traveling at a fast clip they should not have much trouble subduing the tailend Oswego team.

BILLY SHADE TAKES f, Long List of Victories Cap tured in Australia. FIGHTER TO VISIT HERE Challenger of Gibbons, Carpontter and Greb Soon to Leave for Xew Vork for Boat. BT DICK SHARP. Dave Shade and his father, Charleu Shade, left for Vancouver, B. C yes terday to meet Billy Shade, who Is slated to step off the steamer from Australia Saturday, after a year's so journ on that continent, during which time he won every fistic title from the welterweight to the heavyweight of the island continent. Billy and his manager, John Gill feather, left Vancouver for Australia almost a year ago. Shade had been rated as a good, tough, rugged boy with a punch, but little did the box ing followers on the Pacific coast dream that he would develop Into a . contender for world's championship honors in such a short time. He broke in with a bang at the Sydney arena, scoring a knockout in his first fight. He won the welterweight championship of Australia in his sec ond start and from then on did not stop. But two of his fights went the limit and he won all but one. Shade lost one bout on an accidental foul, but knocked the same opponent out in a few rounds a month or so later. Shade, at his weight and far above it. took on every boxer of prominence in Australia. His last bout for the heavyweight title ended in the fourth round when Billy knocked out Charles Lloyd. Shade twice beat Jimmy-Clab-by, the American, and other equally well-known scrappers. When Billy invaded Australia he tipped the beam around 152 pounds. He is now said to strip a good 175 pounds when in the best of condition. All reports from Australia credit him as being one of tne greatest lighters that ever drew on a glove in that country and a lot of wonderful mittmen have performed on Australian soil. It is likely that Shade will remain on the coast but a week or so. as he is signed to fight in New York in September. He has challenged Tommy Gibbons, Georges Carpentier and Harry Greb. and if he gets over them will demand a match with Jack Dempsey. Billy Shade is a terrific puncher and an exceptionally clever boxer, a com bination which, goes to make cham pions. And, best of all. he can take a lacing to give punishment. George Shade, the third member of the fighting Shade family, is expected to make a trip north within the next week. He is now boxing in Los An geles and won a decision over Young George Tuesday night at the Vernon arena. I Battling Ortega and Frankie Mur phy will be the big noise at the Mil waukie arena next Wednesday night. These two toe-to-toe sluggers have been signed to battle over the ten round routs and what a mixup it should be! Ortega has not fought in this neck of the woods since his sensational fight with Mike O'Dowd at the Mil waukie arena. Murphy will be giv ing away some weight to the battler. but as none of the welterweights care to give him a tumble, he has to box midleweights. For some reason or other all of the northwestern welters are giving Mur phy a wide berth. Evidently Mur phy's slashing style of milling doesn't appeal to the boys. Frankie gave away 12 or more pounds to Jack Ed mundson and handed him a trimming. Ortega will not be an Edmundson and Murphy will be in for a real fight, but he feels equal to the occasion and is confident that he can hold his own with the formidable Oakland boxer.
