Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, May ¥.—America’s Olympic swimming team {8 going to meet some real opposition in the Australian swimming contingent, which will consist of Charlton, Beaurepaire, Herald, Henry* and Eve. Christie and Soussari also may 50. Charlton 1s a favorite for the 1,500, meter free style swim, and a dange ous contender r the 400, meter race. Beaurepaire defeated c Borg, the crack Swedish swimminer In the three qua er mile, in open water. He covered the 800 yard dis- tance in 10 minutes, 51 4-5 seconds, finishing 15 yards ahead of Borg. Christie hurried Borg in the 440 yard contest. Herald and Henry have done the 100 yard straight away in 63 3-5. Eve is a fine fancy diver and Soussari holds the breast stroke champton- ship of Australia, It looks now as tho Suzanne Ieng- len would not defend her title at Wimbledon, but would confine; her work to the Olymples. Still, probable that Helen Wills of Call fornia will meet her. And if the Berkeley girl will develop her mus cles to stand a long match her chances of winning are good.

By JOHN B. FOSTER. 1924, Casper ‘Tribune.) W YORK, May 9,—The merry has been enlivened for. the Brooklyn Nationals so far, the batting of Zack Wheat. He been crowning the ball this t week at the rate of about 575, hat is some stunt, even this early ‘a the season, when players are sup posed to be at their best in batting. Incidentally reminds the writer tour of the ring training camps. Visiting the Cincinnati Reds, he sat in on a players’ argument about batting In general and Babe Ruth in particu- lar. Suddenly threé veternns broke the silence at once to announce that Wheat was the hardest hitter in the National league. They opined that f he lived in Philadelphia he could put as many files over ‘the right fleld fence as Cy Williams. Players of other teams visited in the southland goincided in this opinion. There seemed pretty gen eral agreement that Wheat’s wallops were the hardest his opponents had to stop. But even at that, there were no predictions ‘heard that Wheat would bat better than .500 even for a week. Either there has been an especially agreeable lot of pitchers facing the veteran, or else he is coming into his own as a better batter than even he knew he was.
