(United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, June 20, Press),+-Lee Fohl's Boston Red Sox are in town for one of those crucial series things. Boston is baseball mad this year, and a delegation was expected down from the Hub, bringing a live cod- fish to be presented to Fohl, Not since 1918, back in the days when they used to call the Yankees the Highlanders, has a Boston team made a pennant threat. The Hugmen have polished their bats and peeled thelr batting eyes and are set to knoex thie particular threat back somewhere around the second division. For a team that certainly knows its way around the cellar—the Red Sox finished last in 1922 and 1923— Fohl's team {s very obstinate about going back there, The Sox stepped up into first place on June 4 by means of what the baseball writers call some op- portune hitting. against a couple of St. Loulw pitchers. It was their first look around and, according to Fohl, the boys liked the view and went some more. Up in Boston they are polishing up the golden dome on Beacon Hill, preparatory to atarting another Tea Party wheg the Red Sox get home next week. The Hub hasn't been as baseball batty in six years.

BY WALTER CAMP : (Copyright 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, June 21.—The fact that Charile Paddock did not finisty out in front at the Olympic trials at Cambridge does not necessarily mean that he will finish back in the ruck when the big events are run off at Paris. While Paddock aid not run steady and as cotsistently at C bridge did Scholz, for instance there were certain pointy in both sprints where he was running fast- er than any man on the track, It may be that over on the other side he will make the supreme efvort, as he did in last Friday's 200-me' dash, that will carry him ahead all the rest, Paddock has a remarkabe finish. He closed up distance in the finishes at Cambridge on both days faster than any other man. Trouble with his feet handicapped him somewhat in the tryouts, but he ‘s still one of the most likely men, provided he does not pull up lame, The coaches who are handling the Olympic team did themselves proud in the matter of judgment at those Cambridge trial: A typical in. stance was the handling of Jole Ray, He was held out for the 2,000 meter and showed all his old dash and form, whereas !t would have been easy to make mistahgs bio him in the present state of a’ airs. The same thing was true in the caution of Paddock about run- ning in the 200 meter finals, Here, however, possibly he might have deen kept out altogether on account of the condition of his feet. a Games Today National League.
