FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1924 PAGE NINE By Leasetl Wire CHANCES IN THE OLYMPICS America Has No Cinch On Canying Of - Honors. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, March 14.—Is there a chance that some country other than the United States may win the 1924, Olympiad? There is. Some think it is not a bad chance.elther. Many persons who are interested familiar with underlying facts and trends of various sorts; may be sur- prised to hear this. As they view it, the United States always has won the track and field games at the Olympics and will con- tinue to do «so. Thus, @he great handicap placed upon us by the re- sults of the winter sports at Cham- onix and defeats that will come in other branches of sport with which we are not very familiar, will be made up and our prestige will re- main unimpaired. Sad to say there ts no certainty. as to this. The outcome of the winter sports last month gaye Nor- way the amazing total of 134% points, Nevertheless Norway is not to be regarded as a dangerous cus- tomer at Paris. A lot of the points going to make up the big total earn- ed by the Norwegians were.won in the ski events in which the north- erners excel. Little Finland with her 76% points gained at Chamonix, however, will be a real danger because she will come to Paris with a selected band of some forty athletes, a nitmber which includes all the specialists who in the 1920 Olympiad gathered as many first places as the Amerti- can team gathered, to wit, nine. sb oth ase tibet SPORT BRIEFS SIOUX CITY IOWA—Eddie Mor- ris, Sloux City welterweight, won a newspaper decision over ‘‘Dago Joe" Gans, of St. Paul in eight rounds, Be Saat This photograph was made as the first to thus pay tribute to the By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, March 15.—Quintin Rémero, heavyweight champion of Chili, who is being brought to this country by Tex Rickard for a shot at the heavyweight championship, may turn out to be an attraction Just as big as Luis Firpo. Romero has all the circus color of Firpo, and he has more of an ad- vantage in coming out at a time when a vogue has been established for his race. He has another thing in his favor because he arrives with something of a reputation and con- siderable noise, while Firpe sneak- ed in from South America unknown and unheralded. Firpo, however, had ‘¢riendly hands to clear the way for him after he got started, but Romero will have to pull himself up practically alone if he succeeds in getting up. While Firpo was allowed to feat on set-ups, Romero will be forced to Prove himself. Rickard says that Romero can’t get a shot at Demp- Sey until he has beaten three fight- ers to be selected from Jack Ren- ault, George Godfrey, Floyd Johnson and Fred Fulton. There may be better fighters than the four tentatively selected by Rickard to put the test to Romero, but they are better than the third and fourth-raters that were picked out for Firpo. Firpo worked up to.a champiqn- ship bout by beating Bill Brennan, Jim Hubbard, Jack McAuliffe, Jack Herman, Jess Willard, Joe Burke, NEW_ YORK — Gene Tunney, American light heavyweight cham- plon will be the first American op- Ponent for Erminio Spalla, Italian heavyweight, Tex Rickard sald, - COLUMBUS OHIO—Jock Malone, a St. Paul Middleweight, won a _re- feree's decision over Jack Stone of New York City in ten rounds. _ PARIS—Manuel Jose in the doubles of the Olympic tennis competition.

ROMEO MAY PROVE BIG ATTRACTION IN RING THIS SUMMER Homer Smith, Charley Weinert and Joe Downey. Brennan and Willard ere old, worn and through when they fought Firpo, and the others were beaten before they went into the ring. As the outdoor season approaches there is a great demand for another fight between Dempsey and Firpo. The match 1s what promoters call a “natural,” because it needs no steaming up. Fi can get the match without do: thelr first bout. Firpo knocked Dempsey chance at the title. trom Firpo. : It is quite possible, however, that a return bout between Dempsey and Firpo could be made secondary in interest to a contest between Ro- mero and Dempsey. If Romero should knockout Re- nault, Godfrey, Johnson or Fylton and show the same ferocity of at- tack, the same style of fighting and the same color that Firpo did against his set-ups, he would become a “natural” for Dempsey. eee Reports from qualified French critics, who saw Romero fighting in Paris, indicate that he is the same style of fighter as Firpo. He is a right-hand puncher, slow on his feet and ignorant of orthodox boxing form, but wild and almost invincible on the attack. After he had beaten the giant negro, Gains, L’Echo Des Sports, the leading sport paper of Baris, sald: “Romero is a superb jete, well built and balanced. He ig slow in attack, but when he goes after his man nothing can stop him. L'Auto, another sporting author- “We must lookout for this He tremendous strength in his long arm and noth- ing seems to hurt him.” Gameness, as it is shown in Firpo and as it is said to be evident in Romero, from these reports, is, as it should be, a characteristic of the South American race, in which there is a strong Italfan strain. When Firpo was advanced into a fight with Dempsey some of the critics doubted that he could “take it." They thought he had turned timid and pulled up when Jess Wil- lard smacked him on the jaw with a hard left hand and knocked him on the ropes. Firpo showed df he lacked any thing, courage certainly could not be listed among them. Romero has some Indian blood in him and a strain of Italian. Hoe is said to be tremendously strong and extremely rugged. He is about the same size as Dempsey and weighs about 200 pounds, which would in- dicate that he may take better care of himself and train better than Firpo does. ‘At various times he has been called Romero-Rojas, but his correct name is Romero, as it was explain- ed by one of his countrymen. Rojas is the name of his mother, and it is customary for some of the Latin races to. hyphenate the name of. their two parents. ~ Romero may turn out to be a ter- rible bust and, on the other hand, he might be a sensation. i Remembaring how the critics made a mistake in their estimation of Firpo, it would be better to with- hold judgment on Romero until he has a chance to show himself. —————— SEND IT To THR PEARL WHITR LAUNDRY PHONE 1702 anything more to prove that he would have a better chance to beat Dempsey the second time than he did on the occasion of to his knees twice and blasted him clear out of the ring once and that quali- fted him then and there for another The belief that Dempsey won the fight by the use of foul tactics was enough to guar- antee the success of a second meet- ing without any further’ exactions BASEBALL QUESTION BOX Ifyou have some question to ask about baseball— If you want a rule interpreted— If you want to know anything about a play or a player— Write to John B.

Why diq they call Anson “Baby” and why Young the pitcber “Cy.”? ANSWER — Anson was called “Baby” because he was a pronounc- ed-an incurable: kicker against de- cisions by the umpire and the fans on the first basa side in Chicago christened him because they liked to kid him. Young got hig nickname of “Cy” because his pitching was described, by a Cleveland baseball writer as that of a cyclone, whieh quickly shortened through the ball Players to “Cy.” He never was called “Cy” before pitching in Cleve. land. ° DODGERS WIN FROM PHILLIES Will Clash With*Sena- tors Today at Clear- water. CHICAGO, March 14.—(By The Associated Press}—The Brooklyn Dodgers were to face a strong Wash- ington senator lineup today as a se- quel to the 12 to 1 victory of the Dodgers over the Phillies yesterday at the Brooklyn camp at Clearwater, Florida. Giant rookies trounced the regul- ars four to one at Sarasota yester day. Hughie McQuillan was struck by a batted ball, and will be unable to play for several days.

(Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) MONTGOMERY, Ala., March 14. —Connie Mack is the head cow man of this ranch. It used to be called the “A-S". Which is short for Ath- letics. yw it is the Sizzling ser- pentine, “S-S" will be pasted all over the bat bag and down the chest Protector. Strand and Simmons are re- |,| SPonsible for the change tn a large degre: Though, Bishop 1s re- le for some of it. Isn't there some way you can spell your name wi.+ “=” too, said Connie to Bishop. How about S. Bishop—the S silent as in swat. “The brand for this ranch," says Connie, “will be the double S with ® bar of sinister slugging swatters in the upper right hand corner. I always believe I would put it on the sleeves of the boys’ shirts only I am afraid somebody might put a perpendicular mark up’ and down and make the 8’ look like dollar signs. The next thing I know, somebody'’d be trying to pass the shirts for hundred dollar bills." Mack has got what he has been looking for for more than five years, a team that gives promise of being able to hit the ball, “It almost seemed as if I had got {t last season,” he said with a sigh. “For a while we went along ‘as if We were going to be in the fight at the finish. Then the players began to get hurt and after they were in- jured they never came back. Our boys were not recuperators. Once physically incapacitated, they lost thelr pep.” Strand can hit and Simmons can hit. For the moment Simmons is not hitting because he has a boll on his knee and can't move about with any ease. When he tries to run, something tells him what Job said when he had to run for his chariot. It is a,queer thing about boils and ball players—the latter always have the former where they are the most effective. Bishop can play second base. He has had practice and has been taught well. No matter how good he may have looked at Baltimore, he looks better now with Galloway on one side playing short and Hauser on the other side playing first. Bishop pivots as if he were on roller bearings. Galloway tosses the ball. Bishop doesn’t receive it, baseball team to take a Southern | but simply hands it along to Hauser at first base and while the umpire is still looking at Galloway the double play is over at first. It will First in News UNE’S PAGE OF SPORTING NEWS |+| Of All Events WILL STAND | FOR SLUGGERS IN BRAND OF ATHLETICS; CONNIE IS HAPPY take two umpires to watch the Ath- letics’ double plays this year. The average umpire’s eye will never be able to follow this lightning com- bination of Galloway to Bishop to Hauser. Mack has definitely settled on Bishop for second just as Ty Cobb has settled on Pratt for the same post. There are other infielders with the S-S outfit but the starting combination which may unlock an- other pennant for Philadelphia -is Hauser, first base; Bishop, second base; Galloway, short stop, and Hale, third base. That ts speed to speed to speed to speed. Strand and Bishop are not the same size but they look enough alfke that they might be called Lit: tle Joe and Big Joe if their names were Joc. But Bishop is Max and Strand is Paul. Bishop has the beaming face of a boy of eighteen, combined with the grip of a man.of 30. Strand‘ts more mature, He is wind-burned and tanned with good health and when he stands at the plate with his left hand swat stick in his grip he has both feet well apart gnd looks at the pitcher out of the corner of his eye. Bishop stands much the same way. Funny that Connie caught two who look so much alike and yet came from so far apart. Simmons doesn't hit like either of them but he hits the ball over the fence if the fence is not suffi- clently removed from the back of centerfield. It is evident that the large delegation with which the double S is surrounded {s complete- ly taken with Simmons, and that Simmons {s quite as well taken with, his boil. But he limps out to the ball feld every day to suggest that that centerfield fence be set a little farther back: Connie has no end of young piteh- ers scattered’ around, but the old fellows look so well that they are most likely to stick. Perkins wants to catch every game during the sea- son and Bruggy says he, oljects. But they don’t think very much about pitchers and catchérs around this ranch. They've found a punch. Mack left Philadelphia last June looking for it. He'll bet any man he has got it. It looks as if it is an odds-on bet and it also looks as if the Yanks are to face two inflelds, in Detroit and Philadelphia, that will make old Zip Coon sell himself out to a snail party for a selling plater.
