The basketball game scheduled to be played here tonight between the Casper and Wheatland high schools has been cancelled as a re- sult of the squabble that has @eveloped over the refusal of the schoo! board to bear the expense of sending the team to the state tour. nament at Laramie next month. It is probable that all of the games re- maining on the schedule this year will also be cancelled. The decision of the school board was based on the fact that the Cas- per team has had the poorest sea son in the history of athletics here. They have won only three games, these against minor opponents, and have seemed unable to cope with the stronger teams of the state. The school athletic association is now 3600 in debt as the result of mediocre support by the public: dur- ing last season's football games. Another $600 would be expended in sending the basketball team to the state tournament and the board does not feel justified in this ex- penditure when the local players seem to have such a slim.chance of making a good showing. The school board charges further that the play- ers have not observed training rules during the past season, which, if true, may be one cause for the poor showing. Dean Morgan, director of athletics in the Casper schools, made strenu- ous efforts to get together a make shift team from class team players yesterday afternoon but he was un- successful. The class team players are supporting the first team men in their refusal to play any more games on the schedule. Eton, the famous English pre- paratory schol, has a waiting list of pupils long enough to fill it until 1934. 7 Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influ- ence Over Rheumatism Mr. James H. Allen suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him help- jess and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study ,that no one can be free from rheumatism until the ac- cumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dis- solved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this idea in mind he con- sulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescrip- tion that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system.’ He- freely gave his discovery, which he called Allenrhu, to others who took it, with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the news- papers. He has therefore instruct- ed Smit & Turner to dispense Al- lenrhu with the understanding that if the first pint bottle does not show the way to complete recovery he will gladly return your money with- out comment.

(Copyright 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—The Pitts- burgh team has wandered far away from home to seek training quart- ers at Paso Robles, California. Here- tofore the Pittsburghs have trained at Hot Springs, Ark., where they were held under a spigot while the water rushed down their throats and were forcibly detained in tubs where they parbolled. Becoming convinced that parbotl- ed and steamed players cannot win a championship for him Barney Dreyfuss has moved his team to the Pacific Coast where they are to train within the sight of many mountain ranges and such damsels of the vicinity as may be attracted to the show. Ball players. run around in spring with their stock- ings hanging down as if they had just been awakened from a sound sleep by a fire alarm and they are not as picturesque as they appear to be later in the year after sliding in Short Sketches of the Clubs and Training Camps Selected for Spring Work they are to be taken this year it is expected that the Pittsburghs will brace up in their haberdashery as well as in winning a championship. In fact’ the principal reason why this beautiful spot in California has been selected by the Pittsburgh owner for training quarters in 1924, is the impression which has been forced upon him that the climate of the Coast is the greatest invigorator for aged persons in the world. It has been explained to him by Messrs McGraw and Moran, neither of whom was born tn the same contin- ental hurst as Dreyfuss, that he has been toting a lot of old men around the country for the last three years and needs to brace them up with an elixir of some kind if Pittsburgh is ever to win a flag again. Goats of various kinds abound in the vicinity of Paso Robles and it is the intention of Pittsburgh to Pass all their native Allegheny and Monongahela goats on to the Call- the mud Yor fifteen feet weaging their white flannels.

FARRELL (United Pres Sports Ecttor) NEW YORK, Feb. 28—(United Press)\—To curb that greatest pre- rogative of the fight fan, the privi- lege of opening his mouth back to the ears and emitting the loud sound of what Babe Ruth calls “the berries’? William ‘Mu'doon threatens to have a platoon of dep- uties from the boxing commission at the ringside to give the air to any and all who resort to the razz to relieve their feelings. Muldoon has evolved the theory that a blue-coat. and some brass buttons will be the restraint that will act as the silencer of the squawkers who boo and howl even before the decision has been given. New Yorkers are the greatest skeptics in the world, and when the Duke said he would silence the great razz by the employment of special cops, it was suggested: “Who will stop the cops from squawkin’?” eee An entertaining little item, clipp- ed from the Loncon Press, shows that boxing referees in the birth- place of pugilism also have to sub- mit to the indignation and humilia- tion of the “berries” but some of the British referees have a more drastic idea of defense than has been evolved by the Duke. From the following clipping it would seem to “sock” the berry- throwers is a ratisfactory remedy, even if it is costly: There was a sequel at Old street police court yesterday to a dispute between “a journalist who had acted as referee at box- ing contests, and another journa- Ust, following a boxing contest at Hoxton Baths on Monday. The cefendant was Charies Barnett, a journalist. He was charged with assaulting Percy John Moss by striking him on the face with his fist. Mr. Moss, whose face was plas- COLDS “Pape’s Cold Compound” Breaks a Cold Right Up Take two tablets every three hours until three doses are taken. The first dose always gives relief.

Asked what he had to say, the defendant said: I simply want to say that I called him a cad anc: asked him if he said I was a weak referee, and he sald, “Yes.” He had a stick in his right hand and seemed to be raising it threat- eningly. The Magistrate (to Moss): Had you a stick in your hand?—I had a thin walking stick lke @ golf club in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Defendant: I want to say that I am sorry I lost my temper. We have been on friendly terms for many years, but for some time little while Moss has seen fit to attack me in the paper, and I have had no way of replying to him, The Magistrate: Surely he ts entitled to criticise you in your public position as a referee. Defendant: I do not object to criticlsm—to good honest criti- cism, but this is going beyond honest criticism. A Police Inspector: Here ts Mr. Moss’ article, sir. (A copy of the article was handed-in and read by the magistrate.) The Magistrate: Of course, it is a very severe piece of criticism, and I see it is signed by the prose- cution, but that does not excuse the assault. Defendant: Your worship, I would like to say that that kind of criticism has done me an im- mense amount of harm, not only in taking away my engagements, from me, but also my control of the crowds where I actually referee now. He goes beyond the ordinary run of criticism. The Magistrate: It is a most unjustifiable assault. You two men seem to have known each other for some time and have quarreled. You (Barnet) will be bound over in your own recog- nisances in the sum of £10 to keep the peace for twelve months and you must pay two guineas costs. cee Babe Ruth might have had the same kind of a lecture from the bench if he had been able to catch up with the railroad conductor who a year ago shouted at the Babe: “You big bum.” The Babe would have swung if he could have reached his target, but when Babe had reached the last row of the stand, in mad pursuit, the. conductor, trained by long practice, was swinging on the last car of a moving elevated train. The Babe got fined, however, without having the pleasure of one good swing. .

LAST NIGHT'S FIGHTS Frankie Darren beat Johnny “Kid” Mex, J? rounds, 138 pounds. Al Webster and Bobby Corbett, draw, 10 rounds, 148 pounds. Young Sol defeated Jimmie Woodhall, 10 rounds, 118 pounds. Ernie Ross outpointed Paddy Ricks, 4 rounds, catchweights. support from in this city. Frankie Darren, erstwhile repre- sentative of the Mormon state, proved his claims as top-notcher loyal sport followers when he romped all over the stocky frame of Johnny “Kid Mex, Swarthy battler from Pueblo, in the main go of the evening. The bout went the full twelve rounds, but Darren, Uke French wine, seemed to improve with age and there is little doubt but that, had the battle lasted for two or three rounds longer, Mex's form would have found rest upon the canvas. Mex took the aggressive at the start of the fight, but soon found that his rushes were of little avail against the greater reach, greater height, and ability to counter, of the Sait Lake City youth. For the first three frames it looked like any- body's fight. The Pueblo battler forced the fighting and while he took a number of stiff lefts to the jaw, he still may be said to have held Darren in check. The fourth round went to Darren by a wide margin, and from that time on Mex seemed to lose con- fidence in himself. Toward the end of the fourth session, the Pueblo boy slipped and fell ¢o the canvas. The incident was not a knockdown, and took nothing from Mex, score in points. Frankie Darren is a verti- table wizard in the art of blocking and countering. Time and again, the Mexican rushes forward and punched directly at the slim lads jaw with a straight right. Some- how the blow invariably passed over Darren's shoulder and did little damage. In return for his pains, Mex was usually met squarely on the jaw or body with a hard left. Darren has the ability to shed punches as a duck sheds water. The sixth and seventh rounds Were a pair of rough frames, with Mex still doing most of the rushing and Darren most of the real damage. The eighth found the Pueblo boy tiring, and hanging on at times. In the ninth, Darren opened up with a right and left attack to the Mext- can's face and had the dark fighter in a bad way on several occasions. Darren rocked his opponent in the tenth with a right to the head, which he followed with a lightning left to thé right eye. Mex was bleeding freely from the nose, and both men were more or less covered with the gore of battle. The last pair of rounds were cutting slashing affairs with Mex trying hard to put over'a K. ©. Darren countered struck ducked and countered again, and received no real blows from the Mexican. The decision in favor of Darren was expected and popular. A pair of pre-historic mit wielders entered the ring for the semi-wind- up under the names of Al Webster, the pride of Billings, and Bobby Corbett, of Colorado Springs., This pair socked thelr way to draw in one of the really greatest ring battles ‘seen here for many moons. The fans were promised a real fight by this duo and they were not disap- pointed. Corbett proved himself to be worthy of the name he bears, and forced the fighting throughout the ten rounds. He was in and at it all the time. He never allowed Webster to rest for even a fraction-of a sec- ond. Head slightly forward and both hands working continuously, he looked like a true welter and should be formidable in higher fis- tic circles in the near future. He proved the toughest man Webster has fought In some time, and there is little doubt but that the pair will be re-matched in the near future. The bout would be a popular one in Casper, The Colorado Springs fighter had all the better of the fighting at close range, but Webster kept his score high by crashing left after left to the face of the Colorado youth at long range. In the second round, Corbett shot a right to Webster's nose which drew blood from that member and covered both men with gore for a time. Throughout the battle, Corbett persistently backed Webster against the ropes and pum- meled him unmercifully about the abdomen and short ribs. This sort of attack wore the Billings battler down and prevented him from tak- ing the aggressive at any time dur- ing the struggle. The tenth round was, as most last rounds are, a lively session, Cor- bett rushed Webster from the start and had the Northerner practically helpless on the ropes when the fight ended. Both men tried hard and either will be welcome in a Casper ring in the near future. Young Sol started out, In the sec. ond prelim, to literally beat his ad- “No knockouts, but everyone a fight from start to finish” was the popular verdict of fans who filed out of the Elks’ hall last evening following one of the finest all- round fight cards in the history of the game in Casper.
