KNOW ME AL—-Adven EXPERIMENT TODAY. 1MGOING ‘To PITCH GOING TO ITLL GE @ YOUNG BATTERY SUIT YOURSELF TODAY. DON'T Look To ME FOR INSTRUCTIONS» IT'S, FIGHTERS’ DEMANDS STOPPING MATCHES By HENRY L. FARRELL NEW YORK, June 5.—Great dit- ficulty being experienced by the promoters in getting champion box- ers and qutstanding title contenders to accept matches that would make it: possible to meet their exorbitant purse demands, leads to the conyic- tion that the 1924 outdoor season will be as drab as last year's was sparkling, At this time last year the Milk Fund heavyweight show had been staged in New York, and Jess Wil- lard and Luls Firpo, the survivors had been matched to meet in Jer sey City on July 12. Jack Dempsey and Tommy Gib- bons had been matched to meet in Shelby on July 4 Pancho Villa and Jimrfiy Wilde had been matched for the fiyweight cham; pionsiip. Kilbane had lost his title to Eugene Criqui, and the Krench- man had been matched with Johnny Dundee for the title. Benny Leon- ard had’ been matched with Lew Tendler for the Lightweight cham- Pionship, and the Harry Greb- Johnny Wilson middleweight cham- pionship was in the making. This year the only outstanding match that has been even suggest: ed up to this time has been the Dempsey-Wills heavyweight cham- Plonship bout for September, and Dempsey had not accepted terms. Promoters blame the slump in business on the boxers, and the promoters are held to be responsible by the boxers. Politics and petty fighting between the promoters also has ‘discouraged the game in New York. Tex Rickard's rivals succeeded in driving Nim out of New York by beating him to the privilege at the two ball. parks. Rickard, however, has an ace in the hole in the pos- session of the Jersey City stadium and in an understanding with most of thé boxers that are needed to make the big matches, Rickard,’.for instance, has the heavyweight situation “sewed” up through a contract with Harry Wills and first call upon the vices of Jack Dempsey, Tom Gib- bons and Jack Renault. Firpo, of coursé, has pulled away from Rick- ard, but if Firpo fights he will have to fight for Rickard as he couldn't get a match with any heavyweight who is not under actual obligations to Rickard. To get a big shot, heavyweights have to accept the opponents that Promoters pick for them, but the champions and the headliners tm the lighter classes not only want tre- mendous purses, but they want to meet opponents that will no place them in peril of losing their titles. One of the “naturals” in prospect is a welterweight championship bout betweeen Mickey Walker, the title holder, and Benny Leonard, the lUghtweight champion. So many dif ficulties have been encountered in the making of this match that it fs Probable it never will be staged. sonal reply enclose a stamped, BASEBALL QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball— If you want a rule interpreted— Tf you want to know anything about a play or a player— Write to John B. Foster, the man who helped make the rules under which the game is played today. If you want a per- wise your question will be answered in this column, Address—Jolin B, Foster, Special Baseball Correspondent of the Casper Tribune, 811 World Building, New York. Leonard wants $150,000 for . his end, and he also wants a look at Walker's contract to see that the welterweight champion does not get any more than he does. Leonard, lke several other champions, {s not content to get all he can from the’ promoters, but he does not want his opponents to make any real money off him, eee The lightweight champion figures that he is the biggest drawing card in New York outside of Jack Demp- sey, and he wants the big end of any purse. Considering that Walker puts his title at stake and that he ranks the holder of the Mghtweight champion- ships, it seems inconsistent for Leonard to demand the right to dictate the terms. Walker naturally feels that he is as good a card as Leonard, and if the fight would be staged in New Jersey, where Walker wants it, it is certain that Walker would draw as many customers as Leofard. The welterweight champion wants $200,000 fur signing for d no-decision fight in New Jersey and more, of course, for taking the risk that the decision law would impose. if they were to meet in a New York.-ring, With the big matches blocked by the avarice of the boxers and by the petty quarreling of the promoters, the little fellows. who were almost put out of business last summer, have the opportunity to step into most of the business this summer. When there was championship involved, the fly- weights, bantamweights ahd feather- weights had to pick up crumbs from the table last summer, because there was so much doing among the big fighters. Promoters complain, however, that the managers of the little fel- lows, instead of making the most’ of the opportunities, are raising their demands, feeling that the promoters are faging the situation where they have to take the little fellows or keep the doors closed on the arenas.

Answer—He 1s cut If the ball gets to the base before he can legally retrace his way to it. Players who are too fast are as much a menace to thelr teams as those who are too slow.

Copyright, 1924, The Casper ‘Tribune NEW YORK, JuneS.—Time has justified Susanne Lenglen, the French tennis star, for one of the supposedly “catty. remarks she made just before she defeated Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory at Wash- ington. At that time, Mile. Lenglen was roundly criticized for saying that she feared Miss Elizhbeth Ryan more than she did Mrs. Mallory, who earlier had vanquished her by de- fault when the French girl quit the courts in the midst of a match at Forest Hills. East week at Chiswick, England, Miss Ryan defeated Mrs. Mallory, 6-2, 6-3 In the semi-finals of the Mid. @esex championship.. This proof that the remark was a warranted sporting opinion rather than an at- tempt to be catty, must give a good deal of satisfaction to Mlle Lenglen, now trying to build her strength up after an illness, In time to meet ‘Helen Wills in the Olympic games. Tho dopesters did not pick Yale .Jas the victor in last week's inter- collegiate meet, but they did pick remarkably closely the number of points the 10 leaders in the big field would score.

The same table pre- dicted the. next five would score 72 points, They scored 65% Thus the first. 10 teams were accredited with 192 points and scored 189. WASHINGTON IN FIELD SLOW WITH THE STICK; TEAM 15. CONSISTENT By JOHN B. FOSTER. Copyright, 1924, ‘The Casper Tribune _ NEW YORK, June 6.—The Wash- ington infield again is worrying Clark Griffith. Prothro, who was brought. in from Memphis to ‘play third base, revived the infield a lot, But Griff has failed, as he has fail ed in other years, to get much bat- ting out of his infield. * Various experiments with bushers who were not ready fatled to add any vital punch to his fly chasers. Apparently no matter how hard he tries, Griff just naturally can not assemble an“ outfield. The present trio playing the Washington outfield can bat about 297. If they could do 333, the old balloon would begin to fly over the capital, Rut there is not a real slugger among the present outfield crop at the capital. Rice and Gos. lin are better than average hitters, but they are not clean-up men. Griff has taken Wid Matthews on from Milwaukee, but that has not given him a hard hitter. Matthews is the type of batter that already predominates on the Washington team. He can talk and perhaps for reason will thrive in Washing. ton, where the great chin-chin goes on the year round. If you study the Washington team closely, you at least can find a consistent baseball organization, as considering what they have in the way of players, they are as close to thelr knitting as the Yanks They fight for what they can got and grudgingly give way when they have to, Give them a bang-up hit ter and they would go into the first division as sure as rain ts wet and almost any big league player testify this spring that rain Is.

Ponies are regarded by the best polo players as 75 per cent of the America and Great Britain have been holding that all notion of money should be excluded. Other countri¢s think differently .and, as a matter of fact, Act difs ferently. Players on some of the teams are indemnified for the losses suffered from absence of work during the period of the Olympiad. Without such indemnity, players, it Is asserted, could not be recruited for teams. While this may be true, America and England claim that, this con- stitutes an unfair advantage and game and Nassau unquestionably | undoubtedly it does.
