It looks as tho Tex Rickard will have to stage any shows he puts on in Jersey just because managers of desirable fighters are beginning to realize that they can make more money if they run thelr own attrac- tions. This ts all right so far as the managers are concerned but it takes boxing more out of the class of sporting exhibitions, putting it in the hippodrome field.

TILDEN STILL UN The FENCE May Not Accept Place On Olympic Team, Says Camp. : By WALTER CAMP (Copyright, 1924 Casper Trfbune) NEW YORK, April 16—William Tilden has not decided yet whether he will accept the proffered place on the Amertcan Olympic Ten- his team and there is a possibility that his writing contracts may pre vent him from accepting. There is growing bellef however, that some arrangement will be made which will give the United States team the valuable services of the great court star, This arrangement probably would be in the form of a time release from his contracts, as there is little likelihood that the Oly- mple committee will recede from its stand, It should be clearly understood that there is a great difference be- tween the “player writer” rule of the United States Lawn association and that of the Olympic committee. The latter {s a proper reservation, for it merely insists that players sent abroad at the committee's expenses to represent America shall devote all their evergies for the brief period thelr exgenses are paid to represeut- ing Ar-rican. “The player-writer” rule of the tennis association was made in fear the amateur spirit of the sport might be encroached upon by a phase of sem! professionalism, pe satin oan aca es.

He was also quite excited. Words like “allegiance” and “con- stitution” he had assiduously added to his vocabulary of English. But there was one term he had failed to acquire, When Judge Arnold asked him if he believed in polgamy, he quickly replied, “Yes, yes!"
