FARRELL (United. Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, April 5.—With but few exceptions the ‘major league baseball clubs are on their way home from their southern training camps. The Boston Braves haven’t departed from Florida, but the two Philadelphia clubs are home mingling in their annual pre-season city championship series. GRID STALLING Io DEALT BLOW Referee Is Given Power To Refuse Time Out In Emergencies. BY WALTER CAMP (Copyright 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 5.—One of the most ‘drastic steps taken by football rules committee to prevent “stalling” was the giving of arbitrary power to the referee to refuse to take time out, when in his judgment a team attempts: unfairly to gain time ‘by sending in substitutes or by other means. Another rule which {s expected to have quite an effect on efforts to delay the game is that which pro- vides a more severe penalty for cap- tains taking time out too frequently in. a. half. Under the old rule a captain could take time out three times in a half without penalty. ‘Thereafter, a penalty of two yards was inflicted for each taking of time out, The new rule allows time out four times in a half, but makes the penalty for additional delays five yards for each offense. The committee also voted to anu- thorize the field judge to. increase his sphere of operations by assist- ing the referee and other officials in the matter of determining fouls. A special committee, consisting of Messrs. Varnell, Okeson and Morice, was named to draft a more definite extension of the duties of this offi- cial, to be acted upon at the 1925 meeting. The 1924 referee probably will “pack” a gun—not to enforce his decrees, but to use In place of his whistle to indicate the expiration of a period Committee members from the Pacific coast reported that the public out there was «iuch pleased at the inovation of pistol shots to mark the end of periods and it was generally understood that the practice would be brought east. It has always been a bit confusing not to know whether the referee's whis- tle ‘was for time out or for the end of a period, FOR THE GAME’S SAKE BY LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 5—Announce- ment is made by ©. W. Streit, Jr. ‘of Birmingham, Ala., chairman of the American Olympic Wrestling * committee, that a wise change. will be made this year in selection of members of our oversean wrestling team, The country, has been divided Into twenty ‘sections and né man will be permitted to enter the final tryouts in the Madison Square Garden on May 27-28 who has not won a first or second place in the sectional try- outs, ‘At least this is the présent intention Unquestionably this will be an improvement over the 1920 method wherein no sectional tryouts were held and any wrestler was eligible to enter the finals In this city, The consequence was that the really eapable wrestlers were tired out be- fore they enme through. Under the new scheme the athletes will virthally pick themselves through an elimination process. s Speaking of Olympic trials aa the outdoor track season draws near, Interest in the relative speed of Toren Murchison and Charles Pad. dock in the hundred yard, dash in: creases day by day. Eastern track experts hold that Paddock's unscten- litic. method of starting will place him aot great disadvantage in com- petition with Murehison's lightning fet away and that while Paddock Pnauestionably gathers tremendous apeed after he has taarted, Muroht- fon doen no that the Newark fiyer is Ifkely, aw in pant teats over the hundred against the Californian to hold what he gains at the gun, More and more former Notre Damo stara of the gridiron are oar Frying the Rockne goapel broad, The latest coun in thiw reapect gow f6 the credit of the University of ‘The major league club owners spent more money and !ooked at more young ball players down south this spring than they have in years, but it seems certain that the real finds will be as scarce as ever. The Boston Red Sox herald a find in Dudley Lee, a high priced young shortstop. The St. Louis Cardinals are boasting about Lester Bell, a third baseman product from the ex- tensive Rickey school. The Pitts- burgh Pirates feel that they invested $50,000 well when they bought Glénn Wright, an American asso elation shortstop. Connie Mack announced Strand and Simmons, two rookle outfield- ers, and Max Bishop, Baltimore second baseman, as regulars when he first looked at them. They cost him a lot of money ard he figured they were worth it. Simmons, how- ever, is reported to hnve developed a bad knee and the outfield is no place for a lame player. The Reds have two minor league pitchers, Tom Sheehan and Jakey May, who have been assigned the rcle of helping pitch the club to the National leaguo pennant. The Giants have in Dean, Maun, Rald- win and Bradshaw the prospect of a couple of pitchers that will be asked to help Mc@raw take the color out of the “Red menace.” The Yankees spent a lot of money for Ear! Coombs, the Loulsville outfielder, who may have to spend @ season on the bench and they picked up for nothing.a sand lot pitcher, Gaston, who is regarded as a real find. The Brooklyn Robins have Johnny Jones, a Pacific Coast league short- stop, who may make the grade as a regular because most any kind of a ball player can make the Brook- lyn team. Travis Jackson, aq 19-year-old minor leaguer, was called off the Giant bench in the hottest part of the pennant race last season when Dave Bancroft was taken {ll and he de‘ivered with such vehemence that McGraw gave him credit with hav- ing a major part in winning the pennant. There are no places open now for a single rookle star to step in and be the means of winning a pennant, but several of those who are to be tried this spring may have a lot to do with upsetting some fig- ures that have been prepared by the experts for the pennant races. The chances for fame are open Principally with the New York Giants and the Cincinnati Reds. If Heinle Groh breaks down at third base for the Giants, Fred Lindstrom will get the chance that Jackson had last year and if Kelly goes bad at first base, Bill Terry, a particularly promising player, will get his opportunity. Any of the young Giant pitchers have a chance to get into big money by filling the bit on the staff that McGraw has wanted filled for two years. Sheehan and May have the big openings with the Cincy Reds. They are being counted upon by Jo Hendricks to win at least thirty games between them, and, if they do they may* get into the world's series money, The Reda do not need thirty games over thelr 1923 form to win the pennant unless the Giants get twenty games better, Young players owe the chances they were given at a big league camp this spring to the partin] re- storation ‘of the draft among the leading . circuits in the leagues. With peace half way established between the majora and the minors, there will be more young players up and as a natural consequence there whl be more Soba opened for them minor TWO YEAR OLD PAYS 25 101 Billy Ehmke St. Pau! light heavy who fight here next Friday night. s Tommy Comiskey of Denver FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHT GARD WILL BE GLASS OF EAOON'S EVENTS Tommy Commisky and Billy Ehmke in Headliner Backed Up by Good String of Bouts In Treat for the Fans. Next Friday night’s fight card at the Elks with Tommy Commisky of Denver and Billy Ehmke of St. Paul as the headliners should be about the best boxing bill presented in Casper this winter. Tommy Commisky is too well known to local fans to need an introduction. The Colorado light heavy has made an enviable reputation around the country the last few years and can always be depended to put up & high class scrap. In Ehmke he is meeting a man that has fought all the good ones in the east and the middle west. Ehmke has been up against Jimmie Delaney, Harry Krohn, Gunner Quinn and a host of others. His best fight recently was a 10 round no decision against Slattery, the Buffalo battler. Slattery shortly after gained a decision over Young Stribling and is rated with the top notchers in consequence. In addition to the main bout there will be a 10 round go with Ross of Casper up against Lie Lynch of Cleveland. ‘The Jatter is a yeteran, knows all the tricks of the game and should give Ross a tough battle. Freeman Pepper will be seen in action for the first time ,in several months, this time against Hatry Tate of Butte, Mont. . These middle weights are down for 10 rounds. The curtain raiser 1s six rounds with One Round Barley, the new home brew product from Torring ton, with a record of ‘numerous knockouts, against Al Knapp. Tickets are on sale at the Hen- ning billfard parlor and the Smoke house. ee JOHNSON WILL.

BY FAIR PLAY (Copyright 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 6.—Jack Cur. ley's promotion plans certainly are followed by an evil star, Just when he thought he had Carpentier and Tommy Gibbons hooked up for a July fourth fight in Michigan City Billy Gibson plays an ace and dis plays an agreement with Descamps to produce his man against Gene Tunney on June 30, There has been a lot of specula- tion as to how this happened. But the renson seems clear. The astute New Yorkers probably lost no time in advising Deseamps, Carpentier and company as to the attitude of governor ‘of Indiana, which to the leant 1s doubtful. Prospects t the fight might not be permits coupled with a logical prefer- ence on the part of Descamps for Tunney rather than Gibbons as an opponent for his man, in all prob- ability were in Gib: n securing Carpentier. Curley will probably get ttle sat- Isfaction in the thought that it Carp beats Gene the Frendhman will be available for Gibbons at a lated date, because all the prospects are that the Frenchman will not prevall over the ex-marine.

FINALS Retains Indoor Title by Defeating Hunter in New York. NEW YORK, Apri! 5—Playing tn form as brilliant and spectacular as he has ever, shown, Vincent Rich- ards, 19-year-old national indoor ten- nis champion retairied his title here this afternoon by winning from Francis T. Hunter, runnerup at the Wimbledon championship last sum- mer, by scores of 8-6,.6-2 and 6-3 in the final round of the title tour- nament. It was Richards final appearance in early tournament play, as he sails with his bride on May 3, to compete in British champtor ps at Wimbledon. Hunter was outrushed from the start when he got away unsteadily and it was not until Richards had run over him in two games that he began to show his form. Rich- ards got going inthe thirteenth wame of tho first set and for six times in succession, running into the second set Hunter fai'ed to score against his opponent’s service. Hun. ter scored only fourteen points in the short second set, but he stepped out in the third and won 6-3 al though the point score was only 27-25 in his favor. Richards increased his pace in the fourth set and had the score 4-2 in games before Hunter got started. Richards wobbled in the eighth game and dropped a love game on his own rervice, but he broke through Hunter's service in the ninth game and won the set and match.

Jones was one down after the second hole and never overtook the visiting cham- pion in the 86-hole match. He was playing off form and had the high- est medal score he has made in either match or medal play in some time. His judgment of distance was often faulty and his putts con sistently bad. Both golfe dously long bi 8 were hitting tremen- s from the tees with Havers usually out front by a small measure. But Havers did his most spectacular work on tho greens where, on one occasion he made a curve shot when stymied and holed out. He also had a higher medat score than usual, but clicked off hole after hole in par, The American made a hard fight coming in on the afternoon round and hammered his way to within one hole of being all square at the 34th.
