SWEETZERIS “HANDED RAZE Camp Ridicules Golfer’s Talk of Hard Work in Walking Course. By WALTER CAMP (Copyright, 1924 Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, March 19.—Jess Sweetzer and an English writer nam- ed Howard, complain about walking effort required to cover a°6,800 yard golf course, and dolefully predict that unless the ball is changed they. will have to walk 7,000 yards. Shades of departed legs, which the motor car is atrophying! Seven thousand yards is less than four miles. Suppose we add another mile for wandering about the course and make it five miles! ‘The writer doesn't know anything about Howard, but Sweetzer is as fine a physical specimen as one could wish to see and only about 21 years old. Yet he is reported as say- ing that !t is “physically ‘very ex- hausting to walk these courses." Is one to understand that a man of today at 21 finds {t physically ex- hausting to walk 6,800 yards, and that the addition of another eighth of a mile or so would produce a physical collapse? The general assembly of the Northern Presbyterian church has arraigned golf as an enemy of relig- fon because it keeps some 100,000 caddies away from Sunday school. “Sunday sports blight character™ says the report. “Nine fifteenths of those who enter prison were started on their way by. Sabbath breaking, largely by Sunday sports.” Keene Fitzpatrick advises us to watch H. B. Hoffman of Michigan in the javelin throw.

The pleadings of his friends have failed to move him, and there are intimations that a patriotic appeal may be made to the fighter from “a high source,” which it will be point- ed out to him: that his further suc cess in the ring would enhance the national prestige. — FOR THE GAME’S SAKE By LAWRENCE PERRY. (Copyright 1924 by Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, March 19.—While our tennis experts who write of lawn tennis for financial return are under fire by the United States Lawn Tennis association nothing ts said about leading players who Just now are providing entertainment at Florida, Bermuda and other centers. So with the golfers. The United States Golf association is rigid on the subject of amateurism yet there would seem to be some inconsist- ency fn its attitude in this respect. So with our swimmers. When one, comes right down to ft, what is the difference between @ receipted hotel bill, checks meet- ing vouchers for railway and steam- ship expenses and so forth, and a down right salary or honorarium for services rendered? Any one who visits Florida or other winter resorts these days and their delightfully ence, the roles they play as answer. This was one question of ama. do their golfing before and after| to relieve the strain of a hard pen- the baseball season starts, nant race. This all depends prob- ably on how good a golfer the ball player is. If he’s a hundred shooter and wants to get in the eighty class it wouldn't help his nerves or his disposition to keep trying and keep falling. McGraw contends that golf gets too much of a hold on its addicts and that baseball players, who be. come infected, frequently think more of improving their driving or their short game thap they do of doosting their. batting average. The Giant manager also ex: presses the rather original thought that golf does not hurt a baseball player when he is a good golfer, ‘but that it has a bad effect upon a duffer who has (> tale more exer- clse and expend more “nergy going around the course. 4 There are some crack golfers among the best, and Babe Ruth is no slouch. But if McGraw’s {dea, that only the good players should be allowed to indulge in the game, were carried out it» would mean practically a blanket ban on the Being such a prominent person- age, it is natural that Jack Demp- sey shou'd be the subject of much conversation. Much of the talk is idle and much of it grossly exagger- ated. When he went to the hospital recently for a minor operation, it was reported that ho was dying anda that {f he did recover he never would be able to fight again. It is probable, instead of having his efficiency reduced by the opera- tion, Dempsey will be much better as a result of it. The complaint which necessitated the operation has bothered Dempsey for more than a year. Being one who has en- joyec perfect health all his life, Dempsey thought little of it and refused to take treatment that might have given him relief. Fin- al'y he was forced to the extrem. ity of an operation. The champion had trouble Casper bantam who meets Lew Fontana of Cheyenne on the Elks’ card here Friday night. JACK POWELL TO UMPIRE ON BIG CIRCUIT Jack Powell, former Casper Mid- west league outfielder and well known to local fans, will be on deck for the opening of the National league as an umpire when the first game is called April 15. This in- formation has been received by L. A. Reed of the Midwest Refining company, one of Casper’s most ardent fans, Powell umpired last season in the Michigan-Ontario league and late in the season was given a tryout in the National. He umpired one game in Philadelphia with John A. Heydler, president of the league, in a box looking him over, Heydler was so well satisfied with Powell's work that he later signed him as an um- pire for the 1924 season. The Philadelphia Public Ledger, in commenting on Powell's debut, com- plimented him on his ability to call balls and strikes and predicted a steady job for him on the leagué’s payroll. JAP TENNIS" STARS WILL COME HERE TOKIO, March 19.—Shimidzu and Fukuda, 1923 representatives of Japan in the Davis cup competition, and Bulchi Harada, tennis champion of Japan last year, will sail shortly game. . Miller Huggins has been against golf playing for a long time. It was humorously remarked that because Miller took a couple of hundred to go around, when he first took up the game, he soured on it. Huggins, however, claimed last year that some of his pitchers were working out so much in the morning with their mashies and putters that they had nothing left when they were called upon to swing on the mound. During the mid-season last year, Huggins had to call on Carl Mays for relief work, after Mays hat played thirty-six holes of golf, and Carl didn’t feel like pitching. He got in bad ear'y in the game, and Huggins made him stick it out and take a terrible beating. tting into condition when he was training for the Gibbons fight last summer, and the cause of it was not known. Conjecture caused all kinds of wild stories. It was reported that he had become a drug addict and that loose ‘iving had undermined his health. As is well known, that was not true. Dempsey was not in perfect condition when he met Gibbons, but he was as good as he ever was when he met Firpo and it was ob- vious that his condition at Shelby was due partly to the long period of idleness that had passed before he was signed for the contest. Sonie managers contend that golf laying injures a baseball playe: eyes and others have differed and expressed the opinion that it helped to improve sight. It has also been contended by some’ that golf playing upsets a batter’s form and others maintained that it helpec timing PEARL WHITE LAUNLURY PHONE 1702.

Runner on third ‘tries for home, Runner on second reaches third. Runner trying for home sees that he cannot make it and goes back to third. Runner who had ad- vanced from second is on third. Catcher holds the ball on home plate and demands an out from the um- pire. Answer—Catcher is wreng. There was no force play and the runner could go back to third while the run- ner on third could return to second which was still his base. man and the ball is caught. Run. ner claims he is safe because he got to third before the fly was caught Answer—Runner !s wrong. The Play began with the wind up of the pitcher. Therefore the runner on second must go back to second after the fly is caught. If he remains on third he may be touched out. Question—On the third strike the batter hits the ball to the ground immediately in front of home plate. It bounds up and hits the batter be- fore the latter can leave his position. What is it? Answer—Foul ball, if it hi batter while the latter is s in the batter's box.
