YALE TAKES UP INDOOR SPORTS More Men to Wear Blue In Winter Meets, Say Reports. BY WALTER CAMP (Copyright 1924 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Jan. 26—Students of Athletic training are much Interest- ed in the ‘report that Yale has gone in wholeheartedly for indoor ath- letics, and probably will send more men to Boston, New oYrk and Ith- aca than she ever has sent in the history of winter sports. These are the three big indoor meets: that at the Boston arena on February 4, the intercollegiate in New York March 7 and a dual meet ‘With Cornell at Ithica aMrch 27. Here's a chance for some prac- tical outdoor philanthrop. Forty mi'es west of Chicago is located a school founded ten years ago on an estate of more than 1,000 acres, called Mooseheart, where orphan children from all parts of the coun- try are taught trades and the dig- nity of labor. The children have nll the advantages of farm Iiffe, trade, education and play and re- celve the religious training of the faith of their parents, Think what children may become on a thousand acre farm instead of cooped up in the-city schools. James J. Davis, secretary of labor, is chairman of the board. One more credit for athletics. It has just developed that the spread of sports has vastly improved the quality and appearance of the na- Uons underwear. In the old days these garments were very, very pri- wate, and hence not always well kept. But now with the publicity attendant upon bathing and dress- ing in club locker rooms there has developed what the underwear man- ufacturers call an “underwear con- science.” It certainly is a good thing.

FOSTER (Copyright 1924 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Jan. 26—The major leagues dipped deeply into the southern association for pitchers in 1923. _ No matter what the quality of the southerners the majors’ ap- petites seemed primed for Dixie pitchers, Detroit got Whitehall from Birm- ingham; the Yanks nabbed Carr and Dumont from Atlanta, only to send Karr back; Pittsburgh took Minatre from Nashville; Washington plucked Marberry from Little Rock, Martina from New Or'eans, Friday from Nashville and McGrew from Mem- phis; Boston Americans) took Fitch from Mobi'e and Cleveland, Winn, from New Orleans, If any of these should happen to prove a better than 50 per cent winner the quality of baseball in the south will get its Proper recognition. Vance of Brooklyn already has shown what a Southern Association- er can do in fast company. When he is going at his best he ts one of the most thorough pitchers in the game and he js one of the few pitch- ers left who have curves as well as speed. The big- leaguers were not the only ones who lifted pitchers from the southland, Dixie Walker, for in- stance goes Into class AA. Walk- er has had a varied career, pitching some good ball and some bad. Washington perhaps got the best of the lot in McGrew of Memphis. He led his league last year in earned runs, and managed to pile up a per- centage of 647 games won, with @ team that could not be called a world beater, Fuhr, whom the Boston Amerti- cans grabbed from under the nose of the St. Louls Americans who had the call on Mobile players was sec- ond in the Southern Association In earned runs and his pitching was far from bad, Whitehill started with Detroit last fall like a house afire, and De- troit is confident he will keep the blaze going, If he turns out as well as he looks in 1924, Detroit is going to be hard to beat. —— DOUGLAS WINS FROM RIVERTON, 16 0 8, IN FAST BASKET GAME RIVERTON, Wyo., Jan. 26— (Special to The Tribune)—In the fastest game played on the home court this year Douglas High school cagers defeated Riverton 16 to 9.

WITHDRAWAL OF SHADE FROM WELTERS FAILS AS SENSATIO (Copyright 1924 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Jan. 26—As show- Ing the lack of interest in the middle and we'ter weight classes let {t be said that Dave Shade's jounce- ment of retirement from thé welter iss has not caused even a ripple. Shade» alleged reason for invading the middlewelght division is that, having beaten all the leading welters up to Mickey Walker—who won't eet hm—he Is forced to go up a notch. Caustic critics intimate that Share’ departure from ths welter class is due more to excess of weight than to lack of suitable opponents in his o'd class. It may be so, or it may be that the Californias cagey man- ager Leo Flynn sees more of a chance to beat Harry Greb for the middle weight title than Mickey Wa-ker for the we!te> crown. H. Flynn says Walker won't meet anyone but “suckers.”* And thar seems to be pretty truth, although as the said before, it ts difficult he should fear for his ti ing any man in his cepting Shade. It doesn’t look as though. Johnny Wilson will be able to draw any more money out of Tex Rickard as a contender for Harry Greb’s title. He has had his chance and after promising to raise merry hallelula with Greb he put up a most disap- pointing bout. © Johnny’a record since he lost the championship to Greb suggests that he fights better when he has no great issue at stake. This being so He will be able to go about the country in bouts of no really great moment and’ pick up a lot of money for a long time to come. ey HYSTERIA IN GOTHAM ANTLFIGHT CRUSADE IS DUE TO POLITICS By. HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor EW YORK, Jan. 26.—(United —Everything that could be said about boxing, and plenty can be said without going to the ~ ex- tremes that were a; proached was cragged out during the recert ly- Sterla that the politicians caused in New York. Consitv:ing that the game wox going as good in New York as it ever has gone any place, it was un- fair to start a lot of agitation about something that might happen or could happen. It was most noticeable that the politiclans had no real cause for an offensive against the sport and it Was later brought out that it was just a case of the hungry, howling for some of the spoils. ‘The section of the boxing law which permitted the referee and the two judges to give a decision at the end of a bout that did not result in a knockout, it was said, was all wrong and should be repealed. Judges, it was insinuated, could be approached by gamblers and Persuaded or influenced to give a decision the way the gamblers want- ed It to be given. The boxing commissioner of New Jersey, when it was proposed that the nodecision law in Jersey be changed to provide for the giving of decisions, came out frankly in op- Position to the proposal and raid that he ‘couldn't get honest of- ficials. It would seem that if state of- ficlals can secure employes of other state departments who are willing to work for thelr salaries stone that some honest boxing officials certainly could be found in the state. . Pennsylvania, after a trial of box. ing on a sort of “home rule’ bazis, decided to recognize it as a utate sport and passed a law providing for decisions. Promoters in New Jersey, it is said, are prepared to lobby against a decision.law on the grounds thai the ‘purses demanded by boxers for taking the chance on a decision would make {t prohibitive for them and ‘they would have to ask the Public to ‘support inferior matches, Some of the Pennsylvania promo- ters voleed. the same objections to the decision law there and it has been noticed that some of the $3 cards in Philadelphia, on which two and three champions appeared, are not being staged now. The argument that bad decisions are not possible when no decisions can be given is very sound, of course, but there are as many chances for corruption when | de- clsions are forced from unofficial sources. It always has been argued. that no-decision bouts encourage boxers to stall, but there are facts that can be called'to refute that argument. Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion, believes that no decisions ure of more benefit to the sport than’ bouts after which hands are raised. Leonard argues, and there is a lot of truth in it, that boxers who engage in the business in these modern times are following the game for the sole purpose of mak- ing money and that boxers can make money only by working fre- quently. There are the exceptional cases of the heavyweight and the lightweight champions who can make a comfortable living by work- ing only once a year. Dempsey and Leonard, however, are {n a position where the field against them is so limited that. their business op- portunities are reduced to a mini- mum. Leonard claims that a boxer can't make a lot of money unless he wins the majority of his bouts and that be has to fight harder and be a better fighter to establish a big margin of points in a no-decision fight. There may be some stalling, he admits, but he points out that no stalling boxers can make a lot of money because the public will not pay to see them after they become known as. such The trouble, of course, rests en- tirely Into the highly commercializ- ed plane on to which the game has been ralsed. Decision can be given on amateur bouts and there fs never any howls from the loser, This is due to two causes. The judges sand -the re ferees at amateur bouts are better qualified than the officials that work with the professionals, because they are selected, because they are competent and not because tho: have never “scratched the ticket. Another reason is that what betting is done on amateur bouts is don> by good sports and not a lot of pikers, welchers, cheap lorers and parasites who follow the professional gam+ Perhaps it might not be a bad idea if the boxing commiss'oners would experiment with some of ths orficials who hand'e the amateur bouts In the blgver cities and tha: the same system cf scoring pnts be adopted. If decisions are to be given it would seem that better results could be obtained by having them given by a referee and two judges rather than by the referee. Unless he sits outside the ring, as is the custom in England, it s almost impossible for the referee to keep the two fighters moving, watch for fouls, keep them in the corners and watch the seconds and keep an accurate score sheet as the fight goes along. It 1s too bad that it 1s necessary to take precautions against dis- honesty. It is necessary, however, and when safeguards must be taken it would seem certain that it would be more difficult to “get’* two of the three officials than it would to “get’” the referee. Boxer’s Share Of Receipts Go To Vets’ Home , Mont., Jan. 26.—Tillie “Kid” Herman, Chicago welter- weight, who quit in the fourth round of a main event bout here with Joe Simonich, will recetve no remuneration for his effort: The commission ordered Herman's end of the purse turned over to a fund for the-erection of a soldiers’ and sailors’ home in Montana. , oo Expert watch and jewelry repatr- ing.

JAPAN PRINGE CLAIMS. BRIDE (Continued From Page One) hold assembled and for two hours went through a slow movement toward the shrine. every step in which, including the sounding of the clappers, was according to the imperial wedding law. No foreigners witnessed the cere- mony, only the members of the royal family and the highest digni- taries of the empire being permitted to attend the rites. The garb of the regent was the simple dress suit of a Japanese gentleman for such occasions ex. cept that the upper cloak was red with a shade of yellow running through it, the patterns embroidered on it representing mandarin ducks. The Hakama or loose trousers were of white silk with patterns of but- terflies, while the obi, or belt, was of black leather decorated with carved stones. The bride's costume was far more elaborate, The chief garment or karaginu was a dazzling kimono of scarlet and purple silk with the chrysanthemum crest in white em- broidered on it. The mo,, or skirt, was another piece of artistic weav- ing, being of white silk handsomely embroidered. The ceremony was comparatively simple, being comparable to a civi. wedding in Christian countries, ac- cording to Japanese students.. The official public celebfation had been Postponed until later in the year, owing to the country’s mourning. The public ceremonial will include a great banquet attended by court officials and diplomats. The object of the banquet will be to make official announcement to the people and to foreign powers of the fact that the heir to the throne has been wedded. ‘Tremendous crowds greeted the prince and his bride as they passed to and from the palace. before and after the ceremony. Flags were flown from many buildings, even the refugee barracks in the public parks being gaily decorated for the oceasion. Many of the spectators climbed upon great piles of debris ‘eft by the earthquake and fire in September, to catch sight of the wedding procession as it passed. Elaborate precautions were taken to guard against any untoward incident during the ceremony. Ten thousand police and soldiers lined the routes taken by the bride and bridegroom, who approached the Palace by separate thoroughfares. The crowds were well marshalled and orderly, however, and the prince regent’s progress through the streets was marked by rolling waves of banzais, the Japanese Breeting. The cavalcade of the prince regent to the palace was a dazzling Spectacle. A mounted contingent of the imperial bodyguard escorted the procession, their brilliant red and gold uniforms adding bright color to the scene. After the ceremony the tmperia! salute of 101 guns announced the completion of the wedding ceremony to the great- throngs waiting out- side the palace. ‘ Beek: Write for Giresse Of All Events KIWANIS TRUSTEES.
