NO OPPONENT FOR LEONARD Champion Worried Over His Prospects for Summer Fights. . By FAIR PLAY. (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 10.—Light- weight situation still unchanged. Benny Leonard searching the hori- zon for an opponent whose promi: of at least putting up a fairly in- teresting fight for the title, sees not a ray of hope, The champion is beginning to be a little worried. occupies the reverse angle of a situation such as, for instance, con- fronts McTigue, who has too many able aspirants for the crown he wears. Lew Tendler has been quiescent of late after a preliminary flare in which it was expected he would work up a great deal of in- terest in his claims. Nate Goldman, it would seem, needs at least another year of de- velopment. The/ one hope in fact comes from Chile—Vicentino. If Luis can beat up Pal Moran good and proper, then a battle of the century will be at hand. And some- how there is the feeling that Vicen- tino will do just this thing. =—o | Sport Gossip ‘There is a movement in Scotland for a fixed scale of pay for profes- sional football players. ‘The first match baseball games in Philadelphia, Washington and San Francisco were played in 1860. ‘The college record for the mile is 4 minutes 14 38-5 second: ‘The world’s record is 4 minutes 12.6 seconds.

CLOSE RACE IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE IS FARRELL'S FORECAST By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor.) YORK, April 10—(United Press.)—After he had visited the Florida training camps of the eight National league, clubs training there, John A. Heydler, president of the leaguo, expressed a qualified opinion that three teams had a good chance to beat out the New York Giants in the pennant rac’ ‘<The Cincinnat! Reds, the Pitts- burgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals were classed as the most dangerous competitors of the three- time champions, and the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Braves were |. ranked as formidable. Heydler said that the strength in his league was more evenly divided than he had seen it in years and that he looked for a blanket race from start to finish. ‘Six clubs in the league have in- herited enough strength from last season or added enough power since the close of the season to make it apparent almost that there will be no centralization of strength in two or three clubs that would make it a one-sided race. ‘It was quite obylous at the close of the 1923 season, when the Gjants rallied and smashed through to their third straight pennant on their last invasion of the west, that the 1924 pennant would go to the club that succeeded best in strengthen- ing itself during the off-season. The Giants, it was the unanimous opinion, were not strong enough to win their fourth straight champion- ship with what was left when they retired beaten from the field in the world's series, It was just as reasonable to as- sume, however, that the Cincinnati Reds needed a little bit more to do a lot better than they did in 1923 if they were to upset the Giants. The Reds, since then, have been improved greatly. The Giants have made several gestures at reorganiza tion, and the Boston Braves have been most vitally transformed. The Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louls Cardinals have assumed an experiment with new shortstops, but the Chicago Cubs have stood fast. The Brooklyn Robins have picked up a new shortstop, but they BASEBALL QUESTION BOX Tf you 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.

They also bought Carl Mays from the New York Yankees and they are after Charley Dressen, the highly-touted St. Paul third base- man. eee Needing pitching strength above everything, the Giants bought 20 minor league prospects, among which Dean, from the Loulsyille club; Baldwin, from Newark; Brad- shaw, from Toledo, and Maun, trom Wichita, seem the most promising. The Giants also acquired Billy Southworth, an outfielder, and Joe Oeschger, a veteran pitcher, from the Braves. The Pittsburgh Pirates paid $75,- 000 for Glenn Wright, a minor league shortstop, and failed to get over a deal for Rabbit Maranville, who may be moved over to second base. The St. Louis Cardinals will try Bell, a shortstop developed in the club's farm holdings and will de- pend mostly upon the interest that Rogers Hornsby puts in his work after making up with Branch Rickey. The Braves have a new manager and a star shortstop in Dave Ban- croft, and they have, as new mem- bers also, Casey Stengel, Bill Cun- ningham, Jack Kelleher and Cotton Tierney. The Braves have also the best young pitching staff in the league. Jimmy Jones ts the lone new- comer to the Brooklyn Robins. ‘The club has a most excellent pitching staff, but it needs more than one infielder to get a pennant or get near the nearness to a pennant. The Phils have a great pitcher in Jimmy Ring. A good catcher in Walter Henline and a great out- fielder in Cy Williams, but that lets them out. Art Fletcher is a hust- ling manager without any reasons for inspiration and with no ceuse to be ambitious. But Fletcher will make the best of what little he has, which will amount to very little. eee In bright prospects for a stirring pennant race, the National league at last seems to have acquired something to counteract, even if it must be slight, the Ruth influence in the American league. If the Yanks should make another run- @way pennant race in the other league and if the Babe should find that he can’t hit dirty balls as well as he can club the new, shiny “apples,” the National league, with a three or four-way pennant race, might be able to get back again on an even footing tn the distribution of newspaper space. Frank Frisch, developing as he has in the past two seasons, may be, a big National league card, but go as far as he can he can never draw them in through the gate the way the Babe has done, and the same holds for Rogers Hornsby, the elephant of the National ts may breeze through other pennant, they may go to pieces and drop clear out of the first division, but whatever happens it will not be done by the middie of July and it’s a pennant raco that will have them all fighting to the finish, prt At RS deal SEND IT TO THE PEARL WHITH LAUNLRY PHONE 1702.
