(United Press). — Although not sending a large contingent to Paris, South Africa is hopeful of making a mark in the Olympic games this sum- mer. If the wearers of the “Spring- bok" badge cannot beat the athletes of the world, they fully expect to come out ahead of the rest of the British Empire in several events, In G. G. Dustin, South Africa has a sprinter of exceptional merit and he will compete in the 100, 200 and 220 yard) races. Last March Dustin accomplished the 100 yards in’ nine and fourfifth seconds,’ or one-fifth above -world's record. He is confident he can improve on this and in the 200 yards he has a rec ord ef twenty-one and four-fifths, which is extraordinary good for South Africa, where the tracks are much inferfor tg those of England and America. For the 220-yard event, South Africa also has J. K. A. Oosterlaak and H. P. Kinsman available. ‘They share the South African record for this distance with Dustin. All are young men and capable of improve: ment. Kinsman ia likely to be the South African champion for the 220-yard dash. For the half-mile, the British Em- pire can have few better candidates than L. B. Betts, a Johannesburg high school boy, who holds the South African record for the quar- ter mile time forty-cight and three fifths seconds. Len Richardson, the tong-distance veteran, will again represent South Africa, and despite his 41 years, he is in splendid form and. still helds the South African record for four miles. ——.$6.——_ BUD HAMILTON FORCED TO TAKE LAYOFF WITH HAND BROKEN IN FIGHT DENVER, Colo, larch 8.

Carpentier Only Trying to Balance His Books, Claim PARIS, (United business methods of Francoi Press), — Tex Rickard probab'y understands the Des- camps but it he questions the am- bitious demands of the little man- ager for Carpentier'’s appearance in the ring, he may be shown docu mentary evidence of why. When Descamps was asked by a French journalist why Gecrges did not fight more often and accept smaller purses, the manager reached into a drawer. After a search he produced a telegram dated 1909. It aS a promoter's offer to Carpen- tier for a match and stipulated 30 francs if he won and 20 francs if he lost. Descamps said it was his business to balance the books on Carpentier’s career.

OLYMPIC TEAM IN CONFERENCE: OLO COUNTRY CLUB LINKS TOBE af CONTINUED TERE AS GOLF CLUB McCafferty Secures Permit From Community Corporation to Maintain’ Course for Golfers Outside Country Club. Despite the snowdrifts that are piled up in the dra: ., and the wintry winds that are whistling across the lin Casper golf enthusiasts are laying foundations for the greatest season of the royal and ancient that has been known in the state. The board of directors of the Community Extension corporation yesterday granted a permit to Alex C. McCafferty to or- ganize a golf club and to use the links that have been in possession of the Casper Country club.fot the preceding three years. The Coun- try club will be on its new play- ground this summer and has no further use for the old course. “Mac,” as McCafferty is known to Casper golfers, has planned out and has ready to put in operation a scheme that should greatly in- crease the amount of golf play in Casper. He is organizing the new club on the community idea with the annual dues lower than have ever applied heretofore locally. These low dues will permit a large number of players unable financial- ly to support the Country club, to play the game on the old links. In addition there will be the preroga- tive of paying a small green fee daily if the person does not want to take out an annual membe: As soon as the weather moderates work will be begun on the course to put the greens in shape and make other improvements. If the spring does not produce too much snow and too many storms the course shoulé be in fine playing shape a month from today. The aim of the new organization is 100 members and the membership will be public. Approximately 50 men have signified their intentions of joining the new organization and some time in the near future a meeting will be held at which the club will be regularly organized with a full complement of officers and committees, Numerous tournaments will be held through the summer months to keep up the interest in the or ganization and the membership is expected to consist largely of the younger business men the club p.' should enjoy a _prospero' GENUINE “BULL” DURHAM | Right now!
