GIBBONS TRAINS ON LARGE ESTATE GRAND BEACH, Mich., May 17.—Tommy Gibbons is training for his forth-coming battle with Georges Carpentier, the Greek god from France, on an 800-acre estate which boasts a ski jump, a terraced beach fronting on Lake Michigan, a 600 room hotel which would do credit to Atlantic City, a smaller hotel, a 20-seven hole golf course, a lot of oak and pine trees, the same number of whip-porwills and a great deal more of silence and fresh air. Tom is not doing any ski jumping. The silence, the golf course, the fresh air, the beach, the birds and the trees are getting their share of attention. A few miles aft, Georges the gorgeous is getting in his licks. Tagging All Bases (By L. N. S.) The Giants came out of their slump again with a vengeance and took a slugging match from the Cubs, 16 to 12. A Frank Merriwell finish gave the Cards a 11 innings victory over the Robins, 5 to 5, when Max Flack wafted one into the bleachers. Altho young Mr. Kremer allowed the Phillies only seven hits in ten innings, six of them came in two frames and he lost 4 to 3. Cincinnati dropped the third straight to Boston, 8 to 3 and the Reds relinquished the league lead to the Giants. Boone's four hits enabled the Red Sox to triumph over the White Sox in 12 innings, 4 to 2. The Tigers made it two straight from the Athletics 3 to 1. BLACK GOLD WINS KENTUCKY DERBY CHURCHILL DOWNS, Louisville, Ky., May 17.—Black Gold, favored colt from the great open spaces of the west, won the Kentucky Derby this afternoon in the presence of a record breaking crowd. The time was 2:05 1-5. The winning horse came up from the rear in the stretch like a true champion to beat Chilhowee, another western entry, by a scant nose. To make the sectional triumph a landslide, Beau Butler of the Bradley stable finished third. Under smiling sun the great Kentucky Derby was conducted this afternoon on the rolling, green capped terrain at Churchill Downs with Black Gold, Beau Butler, Transmute and Mad Play heavily played to take the greatest honor within the gift of the thorobred world. The derby paid $50,000 to the winner and brot him even greater returns in glory. There is only one Kentucky derby and it was held today at Churchill Downs. Col. Matt J. Winn, general manager of the Kentucky Jockey Club, estimated that the crowd attending the golden jubilee running of the derby was the greatest that ever witnessed a Churchill Downs classic. "There were 75,000 heer in 1922 to see Morovich run, but there are more people here today, according to my estimate," said Col. Winn. Glide—the only filly in the derby field, was scratched by her owner, L. J. Jones, one hour be-force the horses went to the post. Her withdrawal left 19 horses in the field.

Denying guilt, Kelley, who broke down and went in the fall, declared two fortune tellers had confirmed his bone that he was not bound to any other wives when he married pretty Miss Dixon.

JAPANESE MAKE U.S. AVIATORS WELCOME (Continued from Page One) planes were resting up for the next jump to the main island of the Japanese group, according to dispatches received here today. The landing was made in Kashiwabara Bay in Paramusiru island shortly before noon today (Japanese time). The next hope southward to the main Japanese island is about the same distance, nearly 900 miles. It was the first time planes had traversed that section of the Pacific. The flight was over open sea, patrolled by a single small vessel, the Elder of the United States Fish Commission. The American filers, in the parlance of the sea, are now "over the hump" on their round-the-world flight. Taking the most difficult part of their flight at a time when weather conditions were very unfavorable, they have now completed what is considered the most dangerous part of the journey. The next lap will be over the group of islands north of the main Japanese group and then over to the main land of Asia and Europe. The European filers who have ostripped the Americans in point of distance hold an advantage more apparent than real. In flying conditions they have had the best of it, with none of the weather difficulties and water hazards that have held up the Americans. G.O.P. DELEGATES ASSEMBLE TODAY LOS ANGELES, May 17—With 19 of the California delegates to the Republican convention at Cleveland present, a conference of G.O.P. leaders was held here at which plans for a special convention train leaving here June 4 were discussed. Republican leaders from almost every section of the state were present, a delegation from No. Calif. arriving. The conference was to be followed by a dinner at the City Club tonight, for which 300 reservations have been made. A chairman, floor leader and other officers were to be chosen. Among No. Calif. republicans present were Mark L. Requa and Percy V. Long of San Francisco. BARBARA LA MARR AT CALIFORNIA BARBARA LA MARR With a highly charged story of passionate love, a background of great scenic beauty played by a cast of stars and made by one of the industry's clever directors, "Thy Name is Woman," the new Metro picture which comes to the Calif. Theater, promises to be one of the most thrilling productions of the year. The story is centered around the beautiful young wife of an old smuggler in the Spanish Pyrenees. A dashing young soldier is sent to make love to her and thus find the key that will lead to the capture of the crafty bandit. The call of youth prevails and the officer and the wife actually fall in love, causing jealousy in NOT GIVE THE NAME, AND THE REST, CLEAR, I WILL TAKE CARE OF SOME WAY, "IF NECESSARY WE WILL BE MARRIED UNDER MY RIGHT NAME.
