1,000 ATHLETES WILL GOMPETE TONIGHT IN TLLINGIS CARNIVAL Annual Relay Contests cted to Bring Out Middle West’s Best Bets for Olympics; 51 Institutions Represented. URBANA, Ills., March 1.—A showing of the middle- west’s best bets for the American Olympic team will be made by the 1,000 athletes from 51 institutions entered in the seventh annual Dlinois relay carnival here to- night. Conference and some world indoor records are counted on to break down BOXERS SHOW IN GOOD FORM Berlenbach and Stone Assured of Many Bouts in 1924. By FAIR PLAY. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, March 1—Paul Berlenbach of New York and Ad Stone of Philadelphia are knockers- out all right. The next few months ‘will see them as busy es they wish to be. The two young baw dong produced their stuff to the satisfac- tion of all at the Madison Square Garden on Thursday night, Paul doing away with young Fisher of Syracuse, a tough, rough fighter in Ad disposed the sixth round, and of Dave McGill, a scrappy Irishman in the eleventh round of their en- counter, Berlenbach and Stone, two hitters and boxers of the sort the fans dream about but seldom see. ‘The prize ring has been needing two @uch wallopers as these. They are good. The writer is for them. New Yorkers who saw the Strib- ling-Slattery fight in Buffalo laugh at stories that the southerner was done on the decision, William Law- rence knew little or nothing about this Slattery boy, one of Buffalo’s young hopes, and looked upon the six round go as a mere workout. ‘When the southerner felt the weight of one or two of Slattery’s right- handers and found they gontained dynamite he wisely decided, com sidering the condition he was in to take no abana, eh Acting upon ting Slattery #63 all the’ cocilaay ttimeets icinat? that the decision—justly enough— ‘would go to the energetic Jimmy. ‘The Buffalo affair has served to boost: Mike McTigue’s stock. For some reason almost everyone seemed to think Michael was in for a lacing at Newark on March 31, But now, with Stribling’s Buffalo showing in mind, and the fine impression Mc- Tigue is making in his workouts at the Garden, there are prospects the Irishman will not be the underdog in the betting the last of this month. Boxing form is.a peculiar thing, especially when a fighter is barn- storming as McTigue was when he tackled Stribling at Columbus, Ga., and as Stribling was when he blithely entered the ring at Buffalo with Jimmy Slattery in the opposite corner. No fighter is apt to be at ‘his best at ‘such times and always ‘opponents are picked who figure to provide easy opposition... Pa Strib- Ing prides himself on his ability to Pick, but it looks as if the Buffalo crowd hung one on to him last ‘week. But those who thought his ‘Thursday night selection for his boy none other than Jack Perry, would Prove another bumper, found them- selves way out of the dope. Strib- ling, as though to atone for his Buffalo showing, walloped the navy fighter hard upon the chin—the ruckus taking place at Fort Bragg— and sent him to sleep. * Former Mayor Of Cheyenne Accepts State Deputy Job CHEYENNE, Wyo.

FOSTER (Copyright 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, March 1.—The mo- dified draft as it. was.accepted by. league has an angle that perhaps wasn’t figured on by the clubs when they went in for it. They knew of course, that it meant having their best players drafted away from them. But wrob- ably it didn’t occur to a lot of: them that this same draft would give the Players a club to swing on them. ‘Waner, the phenom of the San Francisco club is busy just now trying to hammer the lesson in, Waner, like Rhyne and Valla, two other San Francisco stars, figures that he fs due either to be drafted or sold at a good round sum by the end of the 1924 season. According- ly, he has not yet signed a contract holding out for a salary for the com- ing season that will reflect some of the gold he figures he is worth to the San Francisco club. San Francisco has won the cham- Pionship of the coast twice in suc- cession. No club ever has won it three times and the baseball mag- nates of that city are eager to do it. That of course, gives added force to Waner's demands, San Francisco and Kansas City will play some exhibition games be- fore the 1924 season opens,. bil Baltimore season of 1923 and if Kansas City is willing to accept a challenge from San Francisco there seems to be no reason why it should not call it a title contest, That a spring . national minor championship series should follow a fall national minor championship is something new in baseball. It was made possible by the fact that Kan- sas City is going -to train on the coast, a long ride from home for a minor league championship outfit.

S. IN OLYMPICS BY HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, March 1 (United Press)—Charlie Paddock’s reinstate- ment by the A. A. U. makes eligible for the Olympic team a sprinter who should make the American team in- vincible in the short-distance races. There are a few good sprint: among the foreign nations entered in the 1924 games at Paris, but cer- tainly no nation can present a com. bination as good individually or col- lectively, as Paddock, Murchison, Clark, Lever, Hussey, Lovejoy, Le Coneyx and McAllister. One of the most difficult tasks that will face the American officials will be involved in the selection of the best five or six sprinters from ‘® field that is over-heavy in class. The American team should make a clean sweep in the 100 meters relay race. If the French committee persists against opposition in awarding only one point to the winner of the events on the track and field games and granting only medals to second, third, fourth and so on, the sprinters can’t pile up a great total of points, but they would cinch three events, ‘The satisfactory settlement of the differences between Paddock and the A. A. U. was predicted in this col- umn from the beginning of the con- troversy. Paddock certainly was not guilty of malicious intent in vio- lating what rules he was charged with and there was no reason why the A. A. U. should not have been “big” enough to forget a lot of petty little grievances that it had against the sprint champion, Paddock is not only a great ath- lete, but he is a gentleman and a first class boy. It was to be re- gretted that a high official of the A. A. U. should have said that he could not sign a certificate of char- acter as an American gentleman for Paddock, but it was all the more pleasing when this official was big enough to retract his statement vir- tually with a statem@nt that Pad- dock was worthy to be sent to the Paris games as an American gen- leman and a great athlete. 70.

S. Golf Association to send over @ team of amateurs this summer to compete for the Walker Cup. This invitation was gent to Eng land last fall ana in reply came word that it was doubtful whether or not it could be accomplished. De- finite information as to this would come later. Within the last fort- night the U. S. G. A. officials had reod in the press dispatch from London that a movement was on foot to raise money for the Walker Cup invasion thru such expedients as charging admission to the British amateur tournament and the like. Whether or not this is mere golf gossip, whether or not such a plan ms been seriously broached, the U. 8. G. A. is not in a position to say. All that is known {s that the British amateurs are coming over, just how they are to be financed is not known. Maybe the British them selves do not know. Last year, as will be recalled the United States Golf Association set By LAWRENCE PERRY | aside the conditions of the contest and sent a memorandum to England for the Walker Cup pla altho, having been defeated in 1922 it lay with the Royal and Ancient to come again in quest of the trophy. But this point was waived by the United States for the sake of main- taining a friendly rivalry between the two countries. This sportsmaniike action was appreciated by the British who re- cognize a certain obligation to come across, Uterally speaking, this year, But money is required for such things and it would appear that the question has been an obstinate ob- stacle. The U. 8S. G. A. was of course, In no mood to press the British to a decision before they were In a position to make one, but some word as to the prospects, even an official intimation one way or the other, was eagerly awaited by the U. 8. G. A., which had a lot of summer dates to fill and wanted to know where it stood. There was a deficit of some $3,- 500, as a result of the visit of the British Walker Cup outfit to this country in 1922 and obviously that sort of arrangement doesn't stand Tepetitién. “If, as is reported, the British are thinking of charging fate money to raise the wind for important tournaments then they the admission idea over there. And apparently the original idea of each club in England, and Scotland, con- tributing a guinea toward a fund designed to give the Royal and An elent club some sinews of war, has failed. Yet since the R. and A. has been invested with the control of the game over there, obviously money is necessary if it is to function with any efficiency what- ever, —————.—__ SPORT BRIEFS SAN FRANCISCO.—George Smith, San Francisco featherweight knocked out Midget Smith of Salt Lake City in the fourth and final round of a bout.
