By WALTER CAMP » (Copyright,| 1924 Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, May 1.—The writer thas more than once dreamed of get- ting a certain group of people to- gether and listening to their ideas as to the best way of caring for the recreation and physical welfare of the nation’s youth. Pevhaps the oit- door recreation congress, surimoned by President Coolidge tor the latter part of May, will bring at least:part of that dream to reality. Picture the possibilities for good that might come otit of a sertes! of conferences enlightened by the ex- pert advice of the following people— all of whom the president could doubtless secure for his congress by the investment of a two cent Gdege Eastman, of the Eastman Kodak company, who not only is a great philanthropist, but whose . velopment of photography brought so much outdoor happiness housan/s. a HH.

Ebbett’s payroll yesterday after an extended sojourn in St. Louls, was the outstanding hero of the other encounter, when his single in the eleventh inning, with two on @ave Brooklyn a 6 to 4 victory over Boston, ‘ Not a turnstile clicked in the American League, while two were kept inactive in the National, Maranville’s daring bit of base running was entirely responsible for the Pirate victory. The Pirates had previously dictated a run to the enographer in the second only to have Chicago check a runner in at the scoring platter in the sixth and knot the count. Then for seven “innings the two nines. battled, Morrison and Jacobs twirling effectively. : The fourteenth opened inauspic- jously. Jacobs suceeded in retiring Grimm and Wright, but Maranville clocked the next one td right and Heathcote engaged in a dit of gym- nastics, while the ball rolled to the fence and Maranville continued on to third. Walter Schmidt wag pur- posely ticketed, and Jacobs had a pair of strikes on Morrison when the “rabbit” suddenly made a break for the plate. Schmidt -idled trom first on the play and this appeared te rattle Jacobs to such an extent that his throw to O'Farrell was late and Maranville tallied. Stock’s single which broke up the Brooklyn-Boston encounter was ex- tremely timely. With the count four- all in the eleventh, Johnston singled and Wheat doubled. Johnson was| halted at third. ‘Stock’s hit scored both runners’ and proved the decid: ing blow when the Dodgers held Boston safe in the other halft*ef the inning. For The Game’s Sake By LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune. NEW YORK, May 1. there a tendency toward the development of a professional angle to the sport of lawn tennis in this country, which will eventually cause a division 80 sharp as that which exists today between professional and amateur golfers? Among a group of members of the U. 8: L. 'T. A., this question was discussed at an uptown club Tues day and the general opinion seemed to be that this very thing is what the leaders of the organigation are really shooting at in their player- writer and other amateur rules. They are combatting a definite pro- fessional trend. i Tennis is growing,in popularity bby leaps and bounds and naturally there is an incentive on the part of young stars to capitalize their abil- ity. The thing that haw saved ‘the Situation thus far has been the fact that as a general thiig young men of ample means have risen to prom- inence. They have not been obliged to make money out of the game, But in recent year$ an increasing number of players who have not the benefit of incomes have risen to prominence and the problem of how they shall continue to meet demands for their services,,and at the same time make their way in’ the world, has assumed importance. » Out and ssionalism may be the ultl- || himself he has a Obviously a young tennis star who is wanted in Florida, California and Bahamas in winter, in France and England in the spring and at va- rious clubs throughout the United States in summer, has véry little time and less inclination to give attention to the business of getting on in the world. So serious is this that many a parent who fs ambitious for his col- legiate son is grateful if he shows nothing more than mediocre ability at tenis. Otherwise the, temptation for the boy to make a fetich of the game at a time when he should be devoting himself to preparation of the essential work of the world is very strong. Not only is there tho itch for publicity but hotels at .varlous. re- sort throughout the country, clubs and tennis organization call upon his services and tempt him to an idle, care free life that is as pleasant as it is unwholesome for his char- acter and for his future.

By FAIR PLAY (Copyright, 1924 Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, May 1.—It 18 too bad that young Stribling ruined his left thumb in his Olympic fund bout against Mike Burke Tuesday night. For the Dixie fighter had hoped so tO conduct himself that he would convince the New York boxing com- mission of his right to participate in long bouts despite the fact he is under age. But as it happened while he easily outclassed Burke he could not make the showing he wanted to because of the injury to his left thumb, tle result of a hook which struck Mike's elbow in’the second round, Lots of classy fighters have not liked to mix with Mike just because his defensive elbows remind them of & fence of bayonets when they essay to Knock his block off.

FARRELL (United Press Sorts Editor) NEW YORK, May 1.—(WUnited Press).—Promoters in arranging fea- ture boxing maches for the outdoor season have the material for more good contests than can possibly be staged at a profit. Their proviem is to select the “most natura.” cards from the list, with mi idea of ality foremost in min bs Some good lessons were learned from the experience of several pro- moters who figured that the public was interested enough and fortified so Well financially that it would sup- port any number of matches that could: be arranged last summer,’ Tom O'Rourke, in promoting 4 series of matches at the’ Polo Grounds tfat should have been at- tractive cards, lost more than $100,- 000, and his backers got their money back only hy bringing in Tex Rick- ard to handle the Dempsey-Firpo ht. eomourke overestimated the —wil- lingness of the public to support big boxing, and he failed tq congider that boxing depends more for: ite support upon the little two- (oll and five-dollar fellows than upon the comparative few who are fixed 80 that they can toss away any nume ber of $50 checks for their amuse- ent. M promoters must make the purses they offer star boxers proportionate to the top gate of the arena in which the bouts are held and they cannot convince the manager of any head: liner that his boy will not pack any lot with a good opponent and a good d to back him up. Having been shown that only an unusual contest will draw well en- ough to fill one of the larger arenas, snch as the New York ball parks and the Jersey City stadium, promo- ters will not gamble on cards this but will select. the cards théy know will pay the purses guaranteed nd leave enough in the box office to satisfy them for their time and for tho risks they take.

They fre the three heavyweight fights mentioned and the Leonard-Walker. bout for the welterweight champlon- ship. = ene Many of the matches mentioned cannot be made, espécially the two Dempsey matches, because it is cer- tain that the champion will defend 4s title only once. Dempsey is not afraid of any of his contenders, and there may be reasons to doubt that ho {s hot in physical shape, but it is certain that Dempsey learned after his taxes had been paid that he will finish with more money by fighting one big bout than by taking two or three, This seems illogical, but it is fact, as taX experts can tell you.
