TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1924. RENAN WHS GREAT GREDIT TO PRIZE ING Always Acted Part of Gentleman and Profit- ed by His Success. By FAIR PLAY. , (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, June 17.—Bill Bren- nen, who was shot to death—it is thought, by hired assassins, in his uptown cabaret restaurant Sunday night, was in every way a credit to the pugilistic profession, from which he retired last fall. Born in Ireland, Bill came to the middle west at an early age. He first showed a marked ability as a baseball player and the bent nose he carried through life came not from a punch but from being struck ‘by a basebail. He profited by his success tn the prize ring to improve himself in many ways. No fighter had a more Pleasing manner than Brennan and his genial disposition and quiet de- meapnor were more suggestive of a ‘Wall Street man than a pugilist. He ‘was one of those fighters who im- prove all their opportunities and at the time of his death, he was a well-read man and altogether a fel- low of high intelligence. Ring annals will certainty assign him to a high place in his profes- ion. There never was a tougher i] ent than Brennan and it was misfortune to come into his ' prime at a time when Dempsey was ’ at his zenith, Bill was not only a clever boxer, Ms but a good hitter—what might be “\\ called’ a denocker-out of second raters. It was only the really first class men who coul withstand Brennan’s attack and the writer has always believed he would have hit with the best of them had he been ib with ‘a natutal ferocity. , he did not have. Bill was a | natural gentleman and when the | ¢epucial test came against men af first rank, he always fell short. His two best fights were against Dempsey in 1920 and Firpo in the winter of 1923. He caught Demp- sey at a time when Jack had been trying to train mainly at 42nd street and Broadway and, for 12 rounds, he gave Jack as good as he got and @ little more.

(Copyright, 1924, Casper NEW YORK, June 117.—Perhaps the most significant fact in major league baseball as the clubs enter upon the fighting center of the sea- son when they must reduce to 25 Players each, is that the Giants stand some 50 points lower in the percentage column than they did a year ago. r The Giants were in first place to- day, but by the narrowest kind of a margin and they have been bob- bing in and out of first for several weeks. They are a good half week back in the race, as compared with 1923, and they haye not the margin of games won to fall back upon in case of eventualitles that they had then. The big gainer in the National is Chicago, The Cubs have a net ad- vantage of some 175 points over thelr standing last mid-June and they are the first club that had dropped the Giants from first place, even temporarily, since 1922. The Giants, it is true, have taken great advantage of the other east- ern clubs, as they always have done in years in which they won the championship. Hut they have met a different kind of r other sources and they defensive against the ‘west which has the better of them to date.

ADDITIONAL NEWS OF SPORTS ARGIN OF GIANTS LEAD OVER CUBS IN NATIONAL IS NARROW Brooklyn,’ Cincinnat! and Pitts: burgh, have not done as well, so far as they did in 1923, but the rela- tive difference ts not great and they still have a chance to get into the fray, which/would make It all the harder for the Giants. St. Louis seems to be inferior to its 1928 form. The clubs that are better than Jast year at this time are Philadelphia and Boston. Obviously, neither of them can win the championship, but the more they improve the better it will be for them and for the rest of the league. Boston, especially, needs to make a showing for, with the Bos- ton Americans going strong in the American league race, the Braves are having a hard time interesting Bean City fans. The Cubs are the finest team of runners-up. They have fought their way up because they could show something. But for the debacle against Cincinnati, they might now be leading the Giants with two Japs to spare. If Cincinnati and Pittsburgh get into the fight, the west will at last be a real menace in the National league. The New York Americans have found it harder to get{along In their league, too, and their percentage has been cut, but there is yet to prove a dowrright pugnacious, well- founded and well-fortified runner-up there, Boston {s making a lot of trouble and has gone through the west more than holding its own. But the fight must go further than !t has to-make it appear that Boston will last out both Detroit and St. Louis. If it does, there may be enough 4 sprinkled here and there to St. Louls and Detroit in the same proportion than the Yanks are hurt and the Yanks may squeeze through. There is a tighter race than the National because they are more compact. Today, there are less than 200 points separating top and bottom. as SCULLION IS ASCOT WINNER ASCOT HEATH, England, June 17.—(By The Associated Press,)— Scoullion, by Junior, out of Mullion, owned by George Hardy, at 10 to 1 won the Ascot stakes of 2,000 pounds run here today, the against, openin; stowed away with a blow to his | sglar plexus. i} Yesterday’s Scores Boston, 9; Pittsburgh, 4.

Che Caspet Daily Cridune ATHLETES ON WAY TO PARIS FOR OLYMPICS Question of Sportsman- ship Abroad More Im- portant Than Winning By WALTER CAMP, (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, June 17.—The great- est boatload of American athletes ever assembled are off for the’ 1924 Olympics. Their, greatness was established beyond question at Har: vard stadium on Friday and Satur- day. But one question more im- portant, perhaps, than whether they will win or lose, remains. That is: What sort of reputation for Ameri- can sportsmanship will they bring back from abroad when they come home? America has the highest type of sportsmanship. That fact has been demonstrated on many a field in this country. But somehow, in the past, we have failed to secure the friendship and admiration of foreign competitors, Some say it Is because they are 80 jealous of our success. But that would hardly seem to account in full for the foreign distrust and enmity which at times seems actual- ly to bristle with antagonism. If We are so provocative then, we must be a disturbing element against the very purpose for which these Olym- pic games were revived by the good Baron Coubertin. If, therefore, we err this time, let it be on the side of magnanimity. We want no favors. We need none. But we do need overwhelmingly and above all, the sincere good will of all these nations against which we compete. And it will take the highest grade of diplomacy, backed up by the con- duct of every representative of ours, to turn the tide which hes been setting steadily against America in this respect, " postal Senne Eleven -years’. school attendance without a single mark for absence or tardiness is the record of Miss Dorothy Hall, a graduate this year from the Dallas, Texas, high school. prteeet DS as Bo our Expert watch and jewelry repair.
