Multnomah
Club Diver, Returns With World's Championship Crown
"Winged M"
Star Brings
Back Honors
.-Br Earl K. GooSwia
PiRTLAND-S worlds champion awing
, , board diver la home.
Louia Kuehn Jr., better known to hi
t many friends' aa Just plain "Happy,"
J arrived In the Roaa City Saturday morn;
J ing after a Ispse of mora than aaven
weeks, during which ha represented tha
J United State at tha Olyrrtpio gamea In
Antwerp. Belgium.
? It waa at Antwerp that "Happy" sur
. J)ried tha athletic wrld by taking firat
t pldfce in the spring board event The 1
5 year-old Multnomah Amateur Athletic
club wonder, along with ' tha other
'. American divers, waa laboring under
many difficulties antl hardahipa but de-
dared winner over the rest of the world'a
beat performer. - ,
i rHAISEM COACH
I "From the very atart the United State
diver were considered extra weight,"
"Happy" said, "and it waa ngured that
wa didn'tahave a chanca to win any. of
' the honors. ' Soon after our arrival in
. Belgium the original coach waa we.nt
' back to the Statea mainly because of hia
5 attitude toward tha divine; team, and
'Dad Center of Honolulu wa named to
handle our affaira. He certainly deserves
a lot of credit for the way he helped
us in our battle.
SOME CRITICISM JUSTIFIED
"I wa only able to practice five times
after reaching the other aide, and the
water wa rather chilly, something like
0 degree, and the air seemed a little
above freeslng-. Wa hadn't been there
very long when I waa one of the boya
picked to be aent back home on the
flrat boat, even before competing. This
waa because, as 1 said before, we were
J ; not figured on to make a good showing
against the foreign divers,
; "After I won well, things were dlf-
. ferrtit.
. - 'A for the criticism that ha been
showered on the heads of the members
of the committee 4n charge of the United
(States team, some of it Is justified.
Going across on the boat things were
rather bad, but we realised that It waa
the best that could be had at that time
a lid under the circumstances. We didn't
t . want tha committee to think that we
f ' were going to stand for almllar things
; when we hit dry land and for that rea-
son we held what might be termed a pro
i '.. test meeting ' on board ehlp. Norman
' - Ross, another Portland boy, was spokes
man for the athletes.
J. rVRCHASED OWN FOOI
"He told them that we expected things
to be different in Belgium. The first
day or two on the other side the food
waa not just exactly what it should have
" , been, especially for a bunch of athlete
who were In training and keyed up to
, a nervous pitch. But there was one aat-
i Is taction in being on land instead of on
; ' the boat. The fellows could go out and
i purchase food from stores or restau
rants, something that was not avail
able on board ahlp.
"Everyone waa supposed to be In
1 - quarters, a Belgium schoolhouse, by
"10 :30 o'clock each night. The trouble
i that arose over Dan Ahem was settled
all right. Dan said that he pouldn't
waa so much noiae, so he went to a
"hotel. The committee didn't like this,
and told him so, adding that he could
. consider himself off the team if he didn't
i 'atay with the athietea. We felt that this
'!ws an Injustice and the committee was
let in on our 'secret.' He competed.
' . TAKE BEST COMING HOME
"Everyone tried to do the right thing
-about keeping in condition and I think
: the performances, for the most part, will
'verify this. If an athlete failed to get
;back to the quarters by the set time the
excuse of 'I got lost and couldn't find
my way back' waa enough to permit
. thing to be settled.
, "Because of the shortage of passenger
' accommodation on boats returning to
' the United Statea after the games we
had to take what we could get Now
take my case tor example. 1 waa with
four , other members of the team. We
had a three-room suite on board the Lap
. i ' land, a private balh and a sitting room.
; W certainly were 'aitting pretty,' but
, wl figured that we almost had It com
ing! after what we had been subjected to.
Matt Halplo. manager Of the United
' States team and a wonderful fellow who
" has followed tha Olympic games for the
- last 12 or 1( yeara. came to rae at .:S0
o'clock on, night and asked .me If I
wanted to return on the Lapland. We
had, mad temporary arrangements to
leave Belgium on September 10.
"I aaked him when the boat left and
he aald '7 o'clock tn the morning.' So
you see that It waa a case of acting
Quick. Tou couldn't tell him you would
think about It. for there were many
others, waiting for the chance to return.

"After the games we were taken on
the battlefield. Including Farla."
Frank E. Watklns. chairman of the
wimmlng"and diving committee of the

. nounoed thla morning that an "open
' Viauaa" tn.etino- will ha held In the

Two Home Rune ,
Setting New Mark
By "Babe" Balk
(Cortrisltt. 1930. by United New)
NEW YORK, Sept 26. Friday was the
greatest I ever lived, for the brothers
from my otd school in Baltimore and the
chool band of little kids were watch
ing me'srhen I slammed out my fiftieth
and fifty-first home runs, a mark that
the baseball experts say will probably
stand for many years after I have drifted
along.
It waa like coming back to the old
home town a millionaire after making a
fortune in the big city. The Senators
pitched a boy from Cuba. A cost, In the
first game. X came up In the first In
ning, and with the count three and two
Against me, leaned against a fast ball,
it went Into the upper tier. The reat of
that game I didn't get a hit..
But In the first inning of the second
game, Shaw tempted me and I fell on
the ball again. Thla drive went clear
Into the right field bleachers. After
that I got a double and two singles,
makfng a batting average of .1000 for the
game.
The school band from SalnJ. Mary,
where I grew up from thatime I was
six until I left to go with tha Baltimore
Orioles at the age of 19. sat In the left
field stand playing the old school song
and they serenaded me When I came out
of the dressing room after the double
header was over.
MANY FOOTBALL
GAMES SLATED
IN EAST TODAY
NEW YORK, Sept. 25. (I. N. S.) The
football lid blew off today In every
section of the courttry. The games sched
uled were unimportant but they will give
fana and coaches an opportunity to In
spect the strength of new 'material.
Harvard Is the first of the Kast's
"Wf Ulree" to get started. The Cam
bridge team takes on Holy Cross at
Camrldge, with every chance of laying
up a big score. The Harvard line is
heavy and the backfield fast, which
doesn't foretell anything particularly
good for Holy Cross.
Many eyes will be turned on the
Pennsylvania university team, which
plays Its first game under guidance of
"Pop" Helsman, former coach of Geor
gia Tech. Penn plays Delaware at
Philadelphia.
No Conference games were scheduled In
the "big ttn."
CALIFORNIA BEARS CLASH
WITH OLYMPIC ELEVEN
San Francisco. Sept. 25. (U. P.)
The coast football season got started
today with ' three games scheduled.
At California field, Berkeley, the
University of California' was scheduled
to go up against the Olympic club of
San Francisco for it Initial game.
At Reno - the University of Nevada
and the California Farm school team
from Davis will play.
The .third game was scheduled for
Oakland, where St Marys college will
meet the Mare island navy yard.
The U. of C.-Olymplc club contest
drew the most interest, aa it will give
the first change to Bee just what the
California team, which Is expected to
figure heavily In the season's play on
the coast, looks like.
It will be another week before Ore
gon, Washington and Southern Cali
fornia teams get started.
j)Iaii o' War to Meet
Sir Barton in Title
Race on OStober 12
Havre De Grace, Md., Sept. 15.-Man
o' War and Sir Barton, two of the great
eat race horses In history, will meet In
a match race In Canada on October 12
to decide the equine championship of
America. The distance will be a mile
and a quarter.
The stake for the race will be the
largest ever given In. America, a Ca
nadian promoter having offered a purse
Of $75,000 and $5000 gold cup.
It was expected that the race would
be a three-cornered afcfalr with Bxterm
Inator as ths other contestant, as had at
first been proposed. Willis Sharp Kil
mer, the Blnghampton sportsman, owner
of Exterminator, wanted the race to be
a mile and a half or more and refused
to let his horse run in the shorter dis
tance. Samuel D. Riddle, owner of Man
' War, and J. K. Cross, owner of Sir
Barton, came to an agreement on the
terms of the race lYIday. The match
will be run over the Kenilworth race
track at Windsor, Ont.

gard for his ability, however, and hia
backers predict that he will give the
monarch of lightweights a very busy

Indictments Are Expected in Scandal
t at at at at at at st at at at at
Former Sport Favorites Involved
CHICAGO, Sept. 25. (I. N. S.) Verifi
cation of disclosures naming Abe At
tell, former featherweight champion, and
a number of New York gamblers In con
nection with tha $100,000 bribe with which
tha 1919 baseball series la alleged to have
been fixed In' favor of Cincinnati waa
received today from Charlea A..Com!s-
pkey, owner of the White Sox.
Comiskey admitted that In his Investi
gations after the series last fall he had
received reports similar in every detail
to those now before the grand jury. He
refused to make a detailed statement re
garding them, however, until the grand
jury completes Its Inveatlgatlon.
Hot 'denials of "Rube" Bentoa's story
charging corruption of baseball player
by gambler lntereated In the "fixing" of
games came today from several players
mentioned.
PLATERS SEXY CHABGE
Heinle Zimmerman, former Giants'
third baseman, observed in plain terms,
in a telegram received here from New
York, that "Benlon is a liar." Eddie Cl
cotte, the White Sox twirling star, de
clared Benton is falsifying.
"If Rube Benton says I called him a
poor fish for failing to take money to
throw a game in Chicago, as Is alleged,
he is a liar," Zimmerman's telegram
eaid. "I wasn't even In. Chicago on the
day Benton refers to."
"If Benton says that I know the name
of the Pittsburg gambler who bribed th
White Sox, he is telling a falsehood, and
I'll tell him that the first time we meet."
Clcotte asserted. "I never bet on a base
ball game, and I think this talk of a
scandal is idle gossip."
Phillip llahn of Cincinnati, whom Ben
ton alleged waa the man who had told
him the last world'a aeries was "nbt on
the square," and of the alleged $100,000
bribe of five White Sox players, denied
he had made the statements, and offered
$5000 to charity if anyone could prove he
was mixed up in the baseball scandal.
"FIXER" 18 KJT0W3T '
The -name of the alleged "fixer" of the
1919 world'a series is known to the Cook
county special grand jury and the "in
side" story of the plot to "throw" the
series has been revealed. Indictment of
the "fixer," several gamblers and a num
ber of Jsaseball players probably will be
voted, according to information from an

authoritative source. The investigation
however, is marking time until next
Tuesday, when it will be resumed with a
number of. well known baseball men sub
penaed to appear.
Admissions made by H. H. Brlgham,
foreman of the grand Jury, reveal that
the attention of the Jury has been direct
ed to the name of Arnold Roth stein, a
well -known New Yorker, who owns a
controlling interest in the Havre De
Grace racetrack; Abe AttelU former
featherweight boxing champion ; "Bill"
Burns, former White Sox and Cincin
nati pitcher, and Hal Chase, former flrat
baseman for the Yankees, White Sox.
Cincinnati and New York Glaats;
"Nicky" Arnsteln and Max Blumenthal
are mentioned aa having profited by the
operatlona of the Ileged "ring."
80X MEJt GET II Met
The story of the plot as revealed here
from supposedly authentic sources is that
Chaae approached Abe Attell, asking him
If ha could fix anyon who would pay
$100,000 to have the series "fixed." At
tell is aald to have approached Roth stein,
who declined, according to reports, to
consider the proposition.' Attell is al
leged, however, to have reported to Chase
that the deal had been made.
The members of the White Sox who
were Involved were to be paid $15,000
after the flfst game was lost and the bal
ance in regular installments until the

Battle Given Out
By Actor Lackaye
New York, Sept. 25. The fine par
ticles of rumor which have been float
ing upand down Broadway concerning
a second McGraw skirmish settled down
Friday and It became known that Wil
ton Lackaye, the actor, is the most re
cent victim of McGrawian rage.
Lackaye and McGraw were chatting
amicably in the latter'a apartment when
destiny steered the subject of the Lambs

have with equal safety snapped a red
blanket at a bull.
"McGraw put up his right hsnd as If
to shake hands with me," related Lack
aye, "but. suddenly drew back his left
arm and smashed me in the jaw. I
crumpled up on a sofa by my- side and
my right ankle twisted under me. I
got up then and aimed a few wallops at
McGraw on my own account The fig-ht
was stopped by some persons in the
room."
McGraw, according to the actor. Is
grumpy and out of sorts as a result of
what he considers .the wholesale be
trayal of him by his friends.
