SUNDAY, APRIL 20, 1924 By Leased Wire World R Results | SPAN TUMBLES AT ENTRANCE OF GIANT PARK Harlem Crash Happens Only Few Minutes Before Rush. NEW YORK, April 19—Lives of several thousand baseball fans were imeprilled this afternoon when the easterly super-structure of Mc- Comb's bridge crashed, narrowly missing two trolley cars filled with homeward bound fans. Tons of steel came thundering down upon-the pavement of the bridge, carrying away live wires, girders and supports in a roar that could be heard for blocks. In additional to several hundred persons jammed jn the trolleys, the bridge and its approaches were crowded with persons and automo: biles. A panic enstied on the bridge, which was near the Polo Grounds, when big steel girders came snap- ping and crashing down in an easter- ly direction. Trolley wires were torn away for a distance of a block east of the bridge and the entire length of the structure. The collapse occurred a few minutes before the main rush from the baseball park after the game, or ives must certainly have been lost. A few minutes later 30,000 fans came pouring in from the grounds and many of them sought to make their way home by way of the bridge. Bridge tenders and police, sensing the danger from live wires, fought to hold back the crowd which was ignorant of the danger. Live wires, heavily charged with electricity, were strewn about the easterly approach, and the power had to be cut off. Some five hundred fans who had been aboard the trolleys rushed in a panic for the end of the bridge.

(Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 19—For a country that has enjoyed the fi- nancial blessing the United States has in the past few years, it Is nothing leas than a disgrace that the Olympic committee at the pres- ent time is facing a financial crisis. When the second payment of $40.- 000 on the charter of the Olympic steamship America was made this week the tresurer of the commit tee went clean down to the bottom of the safe. Now tho committee is practically without funds to com: plete its work. Various teams are to sail for France in May, a thir: and final payment on the charter of the Anferica must be met. In all $150,000 cash mut be in hand within the next six weeks. Tt won't be unless the .various cities of the country come through with thetr quota. Fall- ure will mean national disgrace to this country. CALIFORNIA TRACK TEAM GOES DOWN BEFORE ILLINT CHAMPS BERKELEY, Cal., 1%. — (Wnited Press.)—The University of Miincts got revenge cn the Univer. sity of California for past defeats on the track when, with the best team the Illini ever turned out, the middle western conference indoor champions ran away with a dual meet here today, 72 1-3 to 58 2-3. Captain Neufeldt of California, weight man, Evans the Illinois sprinter, and Brownell, champion pole vaulter of Illinois, were the heroes of the meet. Neufeldt with Witter and Lang counted for every point in the weights, Neufeldt taking both first places. Evans took first place in both the Cashes, running the 220 yard dash DE MAR TAKES MARATHON FOR FOURTH TIME BOSTON, Mass., April 19.—Mak- ing two new records, Clarence De Mar, veteran Boston sprinter, won the twenty-elghth annual Bos- ton marathon from a field of 111 staters here this afternoon.

Maranville Is Infield Star Of Big Games BY JOHN B. FOSTER. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 19.— Rabbit Legh cage voy gempread te sp ey baseman, accepted eight chances in the first game of the soason, and in the second he accepted ten. That is better second base playing, so far as grabbing the ball is concerned, than any other second baseman made, Of course what Maranville has done so far doemn't make any reo ords and he is not yet the leading second baseman of the season. But what he has done at least bears out the contention that he can play seo- ond if he will set his heart on his work and forget that he ever went to sea. Wright the Pittsburgh shortstop, has hardly got going yet. Traynor the Pirate third baseman isn’t’ play- ing with the speed he will show la- ter. But Maranville is as ready to play now as he will be three months from now. What Maranville has done to date aa fielder and lead off man, and what the other men of the infield are known to be able to do, ,will encourage Barney Dreyfuss to be- Neve that he has adjusted his in- field problem at Inst to meet the at- tack of the Giants. The start, at least has bean encouraging. DETROIT POUNDS SHOCKER FOR WIN, SENATORS TRIM YANKS Detroit 7, St. Louls 4.

FARRELL (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, April 19.—In an apparent effort to stop the circulation of reports that it would be forced to back” doven in its attempt to enforce the rule against player... writers, the amateur rules come from the U. S. Lawn. Tennis association bore down again today on Wm. T:* Tilden and other prominent layers. In a lengthy statement addresed to the members of the executive committee, H. Ward, chairman of the Amateur Rules committee, de. “ended its action advocating the ualification of ‘player-writers and gave reasons why {t would be im- possible for the association to do otherwise than force tho issue with the players. After the rule had been adopted at the annual meeting of the asso clation by a vote of nearly 8 to 1, Tilden appealed to the executive committee for a hearing and it was granted. Tilden pleaded that he had been a newspaper reporter be- fore he became a tennis star, that writing was to be his life's work and that he couldn't sacrifice his vocation for tennis. Stripped of its polite language, the reply of the committee was ‘you'll quit writing or you won't play tenn Commenting upon Tilden'’s appeal for exemption from the rule, the report made public today said; “Our champion {s extremely ver- satile without a doubt; he is not only a great tennis player, but !s an interesting writer, a lover of music, an actor and I don't know what else. He has been writing off and on since 1913 when, I am told, he won his first national title, writing not only on tennis, but also dramatic criticism, fiction, magazine articles and books. “Some people feel,” the report continues” that it quite proper to enforce this resolution against EVERS NAMED TO LEAD SOX, CHANCE IS ILL CHICAGO, Il, April 19.—Johnny Evers has been appointed manager of the Chicago White Sox to replace Frank L.
