BAYAN DOWNEY NEW SENSATION Lacing Handed Delaney Puts Him in the Running Again. By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor.) NEW YORK, May 17.—(United Press.}—Form shown in the early dual meets on the Pafific coast and in the Pennsylvania and Drake re- ay carnivals ought to serve as a stimulant to those who have been aaving bed heart action when they chink of the fate awaiting the Amer- scan team at the Paris Olympics this summer. The American team won the last lympic track and field games in Antwerp by winning nine events and by scoring numerous points as places in the other events- Although it is too early to make any accurate forecasts it is safe’to assume that the American team will repeat its victory in seven of the By FAIR PLAY. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, May —A curious fighter is Bryan Downey, the Ohio middley ght. Just when everyone was beginning to count him amoag those also rans who at best never ran very fast, he pops up and hands a handsome lacing to Jack Delaney, conqueror of Paul Berlenbach and regarded as the leading candidate for Greb’s title. The fight, held at Columbus, Mon- day night, was all Downey's who not only carried every ‘round on , but seemed to have had laney in a bad way in the last round. Maybe Delaney who has been barnstorming took Downey a little too Nghtly. Or again, it may be that Bryan has been taking good care of himself and is once more on the upgrade.

He and his partner Descamps will leave on the Majestic on Wednesday and will be here within a week, Among his other effects Carpentier evident- ly will bring with him his right wallop and so long as he had*this in good working order he will be @n attraction in this country.

Bartley says he will be sure to at Harry Wills on next Monday night. nine events that were turned in at Antwerp and that it has a splendid chance to win nine of the events which were lost. Among the events that were won by the Ameritans at the last Olym- pics were the pole vault and the 96-pound weight event. It is quite possible and, in fact, very probable that the Americans will lose the pole vault this year and the 56-pound weight event has been removed from the program. Of the events that were lost in Antwerp, the Americans are almost ure to win the broad jump, the nop-step-jump, the shot-put, the discuss throw, the 110-meter hurdles, the 1,600-meter relay race and the marathon. The chances for win- ning the 400-meter, 800-meter or 1,500-meter races are very bright.

Clarence Tootell, the giant former Bowdoin star, has also broken the world's record for the hammer throw in trials and he ought to make a new record at Paris when ne has so much to encourage him to do his very best. In tho broad jump the American team will be represented by Ned Gourdin, former Harvard star gnd the holder of the world's record made since 1920. Dehart Hubbard, the colored star from the University of Michigan, is also close to a new record-maker in the broad jump and in the hop, step and jump. Earl Thompson, competing for Canada, won the 110-meter hurdles at Antwerp and broke the record, but he is net eligible for amateur competition now and the American nurdiers are now the best in the world. American sprinters and high jumpers are still supréme and they are certain to win if they can hoid their form. The American quarter- milers and half-milers are more for- midable this year than they were in 1920 and the milers are aiso more promising than they were in Bel- glum, With Clarence De Mar, the Bos- ton sprinter, leading the marathon- ers, the chances for an American victory in the classic of the games are better than they ever were in the past. before they go to Executives of Finland's team have been holding Nurmi, their star run- ner, a8 the big threat in the 1,500, the 6,000 and 10,000-meter races and in the 10,000-meter cross-country run, The schedule, which calls for some of the events on the same date, will make it impossible for Nurmi to attempt this stupendous teat and even such a strong, durabie runner as he fs, could hardly stana up under such a physical assign ment if the schedule did allow him to attempt it. Wh.le Finland's power is confined to a few specialties, the Finn coaches must make their best our of their limited resources. On the other hand, the strength of the American team is so distributed that the American coaches do not have to expect any one athlete to do more than win or place in one event. . With the idea of having a special- ist in each and every event, the American coaches are asking run- ners to specialize in one event and train particularly for one distance. This action, possibly was directed at Joie Ray, who has been talking about winning two or three events. In the field events, of course, it will be possible for one athlete to compete in several events which are closely related and it will be wise for the coachés to permit double entries in those events. | Sport Calendar | Rating Meeting of Metropolitan Jockey "Club at Jamatca, Meeting of Maryland Jockey club at Pimlico.

There seems to be little doubt that the National association will con- sent to reconsider this matter, if only because the weight of opinion within the ranks of the U. 8. T. A. seems to be very strongly in favor of Tilden and his journalistic col- leagues. Whether this is because the complete evidence upon which the ruling about baseball has not been placed before the public—it has not been—or whether there is feeb ing that whatever the merits of the case too strict an attitude has been,| taken, may not be sald. The fact, however, remains. Not_many springs will elapse be: Speaking of Washington reminds the writer of the popularity of E4 Leader, Yale's rowing coach,’and the prestige which he has already gained for himself thruout the east. He was the pupil of Hiram Conibear. Contbear was so little known at New London in 1913 that when he came east to see the Yale-Harvard re gatta he had to apply to a nev paperman for a ticket to the observa tion train. The day before the race he watch. ed the Yale crew at practice. was a favorite to win over Harvard, but Conibear pointed out several grave defects in Yale's style of row: ing, Nobody paid attention to h because nobody had any respect for his opinion. But the regatta next day proved Conibear to be right. And now Conibear’s pupil is teaching rowing at Yale. There's drama at you. Willie Keeler Is Outpointed PORTLAND, Ore.
