Foster, Special Baseball Correspondent ee ‘0 Georges Carpentier, who despite defeat is still the idol of france, is seen here doing preliminary work bout champion, BY HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, April 25. (United Press)—America would run away with the Olympic tennis champion- ship with a team composed of Bill TYden, Vinnie Richards, Dick Wil- liams, Watson Washburn, Frank Hunter and Kinsey brothers, These players were selected by the United States Lawn Tennis Association as members of the team, but they will not be able to play because of the rule passed by the Olympic commit- tee that no athletes on the team can act as newspaper correspondents. Hunter {s a newspaper editor, and Tilden, Richards and the Kinseys are contributors to newspapers. Dick Williams, although {t had not been announced officially, may resign from the team for the reason that be can't get away from business. Bill Johnston, the little California star, let it be known long ago that he could not go té Paris for the same reason. Unless the Olymple committee re. lents or unless the athletes who have been earning money with their type writers give in, Uncle Sam will have a very weak tennis team at the games instead of a combination that would be invincible against anything in the world. usiness reasons" may be a big handicap to the organization of the big Olymplc team. Dick Landon, figured for a point or two in the high jump, has announced that he will not be a candidate for the team, and Joe Pearman, ohe of the best walk- ers in the country, will not seek a place on the team because he can't get away ‘from his business. The American hockey team was not rep- resentative of the full strength of the country, because several of the star players could not make the trip. Some day in the near future it 1s practically certain that the idea of the Swedes that athletes are entitled to be compensated for the time they lose from thelr business will not be frowned. on now as such a terrible effront at the spirit of pure nrantour- ism. {fect of the ruling of the tennis association that players could not retain their amateur standing if they continue to write for compensation after Jan, 1, 1924, was eagerly await- ed by the association from foreign countries, Australia was the first to. register an impression and it was a very wise one. ‘The Australian as- to ask about baseball— ing about a play or a player— the man who helped make the self-addressed envelope.

It not only gave the fifteen players appointed’ reason for ambi- tion, but it marked the end of the “policy of secrecy” against which Bill Tilden protested so viviently last winter, Tilden went so far ax to threaten to withdraw from internetional com- petition if the association did not become a little more libers! in dis- nensing information to the players .ppointed on .the team or convidered for appointment. Among other things Tilden sald he wasn't told to play in the doubles mateh of the cup, contests last sun:- mer until 48 hours before the match and that he had been given no op- portunity to practice with his part- ner. For this reason, he objected vociferously when a member of the association tried to tell him how he should play the game. When the names of the a by players the association it was sugrested that as many of them as po §'ble form doubles com- binations and play through the sea- son as partners. It has been realized lately that while the American singles game dominates the world, that the Untted States has much to learn from for- eign nations about playing doubles. It isn't so much that the American game {is not sound, as It is that it is not taken serlously enough. Un- der the present conditions the double match tn the Davis Cup match ts consid 4 only of minor importance because with so many good singles Players tn this country there fs little chance of the mntch to be decided on the doubles. Some day, however, Tilden and Johnston are going to be through, and then the United States may need every point it can pick up in the matches, Sport Gossip At Clinton, Peoria and Towa, in 1907, the Clinton baseball teams played 21 innings without either side scoring. In the twenty-second inning Peoria brought in three runs and won the game. The dual meet of Leland Stanford, university and the University ffornia on April 26 will mark the formal dedication of the new Starford track, which is said to be the fastest on the const. In the early days of the famous Henley regatta the rule was laid down that “no one who is, or ever has been, n mechanic, artisan, or laborer, or who has worked for wages in any menial capacity, shall be eligible to compete at the regatta." Should New York win tts fourth consecutive National league cham- plonship this year it will set a pre- cedent for that organization. its formation in 1876 the le e pennant has been won three times in succession by Chicago wice), Boston, Baltimore, Pitts. burgh, and New York (twice). yw in bh Mrs, Caleb F. sixty-fourth year, Fox ia one of the most remarkable women golfers of the Puiladelphia district.” Mra.

He Ap- pears, Rickard Says. By FAIR PLAY. (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 25.—Tex Rick- ard’s dope on Luis Firpo Is that the wild bull {s holding back in an effort to increase his value. Firpo is pretty thick about some things, but when tt comes to money the well known fox is not more keen. He gave Dempsey a rough and ready two rounds and this fact he wishes to capitalize to the limit. Rickard is aiming to beat him into submission by building up other foreign fighters. The trouble is, it is hard to make bricks without straw. Romero meets Floyd John- son soon; we shail soon see whether will find it advisable to wear handcuffs. Anyway, Romero {s no Firpo. Nor does {t appear as though Ermino Spalla can be used as a club to make Firpo listen to reason. No, just now Luis holds a lot of trumps and there fs no use denying it. Harry Greb seems to be dodging Jack Delaney so far as any Imme- diate bout is concerned. Since Greb is willing to meet him or anyone else at the milk fund bouts, the chances are that tight now Harry is fearful of his condition and wants to go through a period of rigorous training. On the quiet Mickey Walker 1s doing a heavy bit of training these days. He fs living in a country place just down the roa’ from Freddie Welsh’s’ health farm at Summit, N, J., and he asex the Welsh plant for a daily grind that is business like in every aspect. “When Spalla gets here the meet- ing between him and Nick Kline who advanced him the money to come from Italy to the United States—whereas Spalla went to Buenos Aires—will be worth attend- ing.

(Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 256.—Frank Zuna, according to an outelving which has an official appearance, 1s looked upon as having cooked him- self as an Olympic first string tcarathon prospect because he ran three full distance marathons within three weeks. If this is true, it would not be surprising. Three 26-mile runs in as inany weeks is taxing the human item pretty rigid ‘lesh and blood can stand only so much. Yet Zuna’s plight—if such indeed is his plight—is one that is likely to be repeated among eastern Olympic candidates before this try- out system {x completed and candi- dates selected. This because a ma- jority of the sitar performers now relied upon to win points at Paris reside in the east and will thus meet one another !n the eastern tryouts. Rigorous competition {s bound to ensue and when the lexding west- erners come on here from thelr sec- tional tryouts they are likely to find a bunch of eastern performers who are failing and not up to thelr best because of the dog-eat-dog contests in this section. As a consequence {t {s not #0 cer- tain that those who are really best quelified to perform great feats on tracic and fleld will be tn condition to show their wares, In other words, a bunch of Olympic selec- tions which are not up to the best we could produce under ordinary conditions, ‘This, of course, {s more or less a theoretical danger! none tho less, it is a situation that might be well worth watching. Speaking of track stars they have a young freshman named Phillips out at Butler in Indiana who prom- ises to do mighty things, Recently he defeated Jote Ray at Louisville in the Kentucky- Indiana A, A. U. 880, although he had not run the distance before this year, because Butler college has no {indoor track. As a school boy last year, Phillips won the national Interscholastic half.

(Copyright. 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 25:—Willlam T. Tilden's refusal to appear at the Davis cup committee meeting to be held here today, presumably for the purpose of discussing his resigna- tion as a member of the Davis cup and Olympic teams further compli- cates a situation which already promised to deprive America of the services of her champion in the two big tennis events. Although Tilden explained his declination by a “previous engage- ment” the committee may not be altogether pleased with his refusal to appear and talk things over. Tilden's letter of declination re- stated the position he set forth in his letter of resignation—that he will not play until pis amateun status is “definitely settled.” No one joubts the good faith of the United States Lawn Tennis association In its efforts to uphold the standards of amateurism, but there are many who sympathize with Tilden and believe him, as a Player-writer, to be anything but the “evil influence” in the sport that his activity os a professional writer on tennis was declared by one tennis association official to make him, Until the recent developments came up it was widely believed that the committee would make an ex- ception of its player-writer rule in Tilden’s case.. But now—especially in ylew of Tilden’s refusal to at- Probably the most spectacular prize fight ever held in the history of the ring was that which took place last year at the Polo Grounds in New York when Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, met Luis Firpo, the bull of the Pampas. Be- cause there were so many knock- downs in so few minutes that the newspaper men were unable to count the blows, no true conception of the fight has dwelt in the minds of the public at large. Cn Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week, there will be shown at the America theater, the official pictures taken at the ringside. A pre-showing of this film was given yesterday to a number of local people. Those who saw it pronounced {t one of the best things yet shown in this line. ‘There are slow motion pictures of Dempsey as ho falls through the ropes.

TWO LEAGUE RECORDS ARE ESTABLISHED CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 25.— Two major league baseball records are believed to have been estab- lished here in yesterday's Detroit- Cleveland game. Emory Rigney, Detroit shortstop, played through the nine innings with only one fielding chance. That came in the ninth inning and then he dropped Homer Summa’s infield fly. Although five Cleveland pitchers worked against the Tigers, none of them went to bat and of the “pinch” hitters only one reached first base, Bete ea ne Flesh/ ANY are the eyes that aré turned to gaze with keen ad- miration on the well developed, healthy girl no matter where she may be—on the rapidly moving thoroughfare or gliding gracefully over the dance floor, All eyes turn because we all ap- preciate the girl with the figure so firm and plump—the girl with radiantly red cheeks, cheeks that carry a touch of roses from na- ture’s own garden—the girl with the sparkling eyes, keen and sharp the girl with buoyancy and the swing of youth, Not necessarily an out-of-doors girl.
