IDEWE Garter GEORGE FROST COMPANY, BOSTON, Makers ot Velvet Grip Hose Supporters for All the Family eer ORETE REET Tn UTORRENT By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, April 18.—(United Press)—When Lawson Robertson's name was mentioned as a worthy candidate for the position as head coach of the American Olympic team, it was suggested from many competent sources that serious mis- take would be made if Robertson should not be appointed. He has been named as the head coach and he didn’t hesitate a mom- ent to show that the flattering things said about him were not the idle words of kind friends. In the short time that itopertson has been on the job, he has institut- ed two progressive pieces of con- structive building that are bound to have the most beneficial results. Robertson has had plenty of ex- perience, both as an @lympic athlete and as a teacher of athletics and a trainer at the University of Pennsy- lvania. He knew from that ex- perience that his most important job was to curb the athletes who knew their jobs and teach the ones who had something to learn. Some writers in recent weeks, who Jean to the belief that all ts lost for the American team that goes to Paris next summer, have been lam- enting about the failure of veteran track and field men to follow sensa- tional form in the big indoor. meets of the past season. x There are no new records made of importance and, in most cases, the leading stars failed to approach the time and records they should have made by reason of past per- formances. ‘They didn’t do it, because Robert- son took it upon himself to counsel them against it. He warned them that they might sacrifice good points at Paris this summer and they might lose places on the team if they burn- ed themselves out on the boards or threw themselves off by injuries. He pointed out to them that an Olympic championship was of far enduring tame to them than a trick indoor record, that might ‘not last more than a year. The disappointing form shown during the indoor season was the re- sult of Robertson’s sound advice rather than an alarming slump in the ability of our athletes, Another fine piece of constructive building came when Robertson sug- gested that all the Olympic coaches make their services available for any Olympic candidate who camé to them for training before the trials start this summer. The suggestion met with im- mediate response and, although all the Olympic coaches have plenty of work on their hands now with their own college squads, they readily agreed to take over any athletes who four of such athletes working now under his direction with the Pennsylvania squad. It was fortunate that they all resided in the Philadelph dis- trict, where they found his services accessible. For two weeks, during the Easter vacation, Robertson has agreed to take Frank Hussey, the sensational New York high school sprinter and teach him some of the tricks of the trade that the boy hasn't been able to gain by actual experience. There are coaches on the team representing every section of the country, and if each one of them can improve the form of four or five out- standing athletes, there will be no reason to cry about the tough time the Americans are going ot have in Paris. Much fuss is being made over the announcement that Finland will have only 45 athletes on the team that Is expected to battle the Ameri- cans to death tn Paris this summer. Considering that the American team will consist of more than 250 QUESTION—A runner on 3rd base, catcher is ready and gets in position, batter steps in position pitcher standing with one foot in front of pitchers slab other foot just behind it, the runner starts for home on a dead run, pitcher from this position quickly delivers the ball over the plate to the catcher to put out the runner and the batter hit the ball over the centerfield fence thinking all was well and pitcher In position, What was the play? ANSWER—Tne pitcher was not tn position, Neither foot was on the plate. He did not wind up ac- cording te the query. The runner started from third and the ball wre thrown home ov the pitcher, not pitched. The batter hit the bal! #nd interfered with a fielding plav and was out.

The runner crossed home base, the Ist baseman called for the ball and touched Ist. The umpire called the batter out for falling to touch Ist, does the run count? . athletes, it would seem that Finlind is almost a baby in size. It must be remembered, however, that Finland is sending only a track and field team to Paris and that the Ameri- can team will consist of swimmers, divers, boxers, wrestlers, fencers, gymnasts and cyclists as well. It 1s quite possible that the United States could send 45 track and field athletes to Paris and score just as many roints as would be with a team of 345 athletes. Only a certain number of athletes can be entered and started in each event. The others that go are extras. The United States has to carry 2 large number of extras for several reasons. Commensurate with the funds available, the United States officials like to send as many athletes on the Olympic trips as possible so as to re- ward some of the boys who plug along trying without the chance ot |"? being champions and to show for- eign nations a large body. of what are held up as representative Ameri- can boys. Three hundred fine specimens of young American manhood, walking around a foreign capital under the identification of the shield of the United States, will furnish the finest advertising Uncle Sam can get. Swarms of young Americans, con- ducting themselves as gentlemen in the uniform of the Olympic team, help to overcome prejudices and “Sell America" to the world, There’ is qnother factor entering into the selection of a team of the largest possible number that isn’t generally known to the public. The American team is a great drawing card at the Olympic games. It was the big feature of the \nt- Wwerp games in 1920 and the Paris officials are expecting it a head- liner for the games next summer. Advertising is not hard to sell when it is broadcast that a team of 300 Americans, including ten or twelve world’s champions and flocks of the world’s outstanding athletes, are to compete in the games. There is so much interest in athletics in the United States that it is not difficult to get a crowd at any kind of a meet, Foreign nations, however, have to sell their meets to the public and to sell they have to advertise. The American team, as has been pointed out, is the big fea- ture of the advertising and the American officials have to do their part to put the games over. > KO MOOSE TO BE KILLED THIS SEASON CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 18.— No moose will be legally killed in Wyoming this year. ‘The State Game and Fish commission has de- cided that no special licenses per- mitting the killing:of moose shall be issued, and the law provides that BASEBALL QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball— If you want a rule interpreted— If you want to ‘now anything about a play or a player— Write to John B.

THE TRIBUNE’S PAGE OF SPORTING NEWS WISE MOVES MADE BY OLYMPIC COACH LAGHER OF YALE FAME | TOTRY OUTFORMARATHON| CISPEA WAS BOUT By WALTER CAMP (Copyright, 1924 Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 18.—The news that Johnny Gallagher, former Yale marathon runner, is again in train- ing and will run at Boston will be welcomed by al! field sport” en- thusiasts who realize the weakness of the United States in long distance runners for the Olympics. Gallagh- er was a promising man and it is sald he already fs in fair condition. The report js that Frank Hussey the school boy sprinter will show his wares at the New York University carnival Saturday and that he will train further with Loren Murchison, under Lawson Roberts, at Phila- delphia during his Easter vacation. Hussey has always been kept from foolishly overdoing and it is to be hoped that he will not be brought along too fine before sailing for the Olympics. A sixty-two-year old man, Hiram Ramp, is credited with playing 144 holes of golf in a day at Miami over a nine hole course of more than 3,000 yards. Well he is welcome to do it if he likes, but the writer would warn other elderly men against like marathon golfing. Golf 1s too good a game to take in such huge doses and if all the sixty-year-old golfers get the craze some of them are sure to suffer and then the grand old game will be blamed.

By FAIR PLAY (Copyright, 1924, Casper ‘Tribune) NEW YORK, April 18.—The Car- Pentier plot thickens. A friend of Garp’s now in this city quotes the Frenchman as saying—the quota- tion comes indirectly thru Mike Mc ‘Tigue—that he is after the champ lightheavyweight of the world and none other. “What” Carp is reported to have said “would I gain by fighting Gib- bons and Tunney? Nothing, my logical opponent should be the cham- pion of the world in the light heavy- weight class to wit McTigue.” The only defect In this logic ts that Carp would gain much more by fighting—and defeating—Gibbons or Tunney than he would in knocking the second rate McTigue for a goal. On the other hand Georges would get at least one thing out of beating Michael, a world’s title. And trust Descamps to capitalize that . It Is a strange state of affairs when the worlds champion in a class is so far inferior to two or more men eligible to fight in that class that the public is not interested greatly in a bout affecting the title. Dave Shade {s one boy who ts apt to spring something just when the experts have him on the down grade. His victory over Frankie Schoell was a real achievement. Pete Latzo, an- other fighter who looks as tho he were once more ascending the lad- der. Latzo’s ambition is to get re- vengo on Schoell by treating the Buffalo scrapper even as Shade did. Firpo is fn one day and out the next. Certain wise guys say that he is waiting until Dempsey is ready to fight and that he has been advised to take no chances of getting whip- ped by some one and thus daing himself out of a million odd dollar show with the worlds champion, THE DICTATOR In Feudal days the novice served years before he could don the helm ofa knight—- now it’s your privilege to wear a Gordon any time.
