The game looks about even with the odds slightly in favor of the Elks due to the excel- lent hurling that Bowman has been turning in the last few Sabbaths. Lavoye has about the queerest ball combination that ever performed on @ local lot. - They look like cham, Pions for a few innings and then look like the varlest dubs, If they can ever keep themselves together for nine consecutive innings they might furnish the surprise of the league.. As it is they have not been much of a stumbling block to date. This afternoon they line up against the Standard team, the league lead- ers.

J., June .21.— {United Press)—Princeton University must depend Jargely on the present Freshman clase for athletes next year as seventy-seven athletes will be lost by.graduation this year. The football team is especially hard hit, as six tegulars will recelve their diplomas next week, not counting Johnny Gorman, Frank Rutan and Maud Crum who graduated last February. Six regulars from the baseball team will also be lost by graduation, while the Tigers will lose eleven track men. Dr. Spaeth, director of rowing, will lose ten members of the squad, four of whom were regulars in either the Orange or Black Varsity boats. The championship polo team, which won the National Champion- ship last Monday by defeating Ari- zona, will lose three out of four of its horsemen, while; the champion- ship Lacrosse twelve will lose five and the basketball team will be diminished by threes. The championship swimming team will only lose two. Some difficulty will be encounter- ed next fall when the Tiger football team lines up, in replacing Ken Smith, whose field goal won the championship for 1923, and it will also be difficult to find men to take the places of Captain Whoops sni- vely, Harvey Emery, Johnny Ewing, Dick Newby and Buckner, all of whom will leave Princeton this month. Captain Wall of the hockey team, Tom Smart, captain of the soccer eleven, Johnny Howard; cap- tain of the tennis team, and Owen and Pottenger of the wrestling team ‘will be among the missing next year. 300 Entries in Golf Tourney At St. Joseph ST.

(Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, June 21.—It must be something in the atmosphere or Maybe its the old Mormon tradition of plurality in all things, even in marriage .at any event Salt Lake is about the base-hittingest place on the baseball map. But-the country @t large is be- ginning to suspect the stability of batting averages there, And in this respect, Connie Mack leads all the rest. He's reminded: of it every time he looks. up and sees Paul Strand in an Athletic uniform. There isn't the slightest. doubt that Strand batted the ball in Salt Lake City. Mack went out there himself to see him do it. Taking along a pocketfull of sandwiches for lunch, he sat through morning prac- tice and the afternoon game and Strand hit and bit until the veteran chieftain of the Athletics had a vision of home runs popping over the Philadelphia fence. ‘But it-isn’t happening that way. Recently the San Francisco team of the Coast league landed in Salt Lake City for a series of seven games. It sounds incredible, but those San Franciscans up and batted .459 as a: team for the whole series, One player batting .459 in one game is enough to make some managers smile. But imagine a whole team, including pitchers, keeping it up for a solid week, Meanwhile, the home talent was batting .390, itself a team which Is not half bad. San Francisco got 24 of leaguer, home runs out of the series, which Hllison, an ex-big got ten. There is no baseball like that in the east. In fact, there isn’t any Uke it anywhere that this writer has heard of, It would be interest: ing to see what the San Franctsco outfit would do if it were to play in Salt Lake City permanently. Still another question of interest is what Would happen to Ruth if he were given a chance to bat home runs in Salt Lake City. If Ruth can bat 59 in the east he should be able to bat at least 100 in the rarified at- moephere of Salt Lake City. The park at Salt Lake City ts small—the smallest in the Coast league. That helps home run hit- ting. In addition, there is abundant sunshine and to top it all off, there is the rarified air which apparently peps the players up. An attempt was made to check home runs in Salt Lake City by bullding a higher screen around the park, and that has helped some. But'the sharpshooters keep sending them over just the same. However, tho home runs are not so much of themselves, as the. fact that San Francisco managed to bat within ono point of .460 in Salt Lake City. In this batting jambouree, Petey Kilduff, former second base. man for Brooklyn, hit three homers, two doubles and eleven singles. Ellison, in collecting the ten homers mentioned above, got 25 hits. Duffy Lewis, the olf American league out: flelder, got 17. BABE CLOUTS 17TH HOMER IN HELPING YANKS TO WICTORY OVER BOSTON; DETROIT WINS Boston 3-3, New York 5-3 NEW YORK, June 21.—Babe Ruth got his 17th home run in the first game with the Red Sox today, which the Yankees won 5 to 3, The sec- ond game was called at the end of the fifth inning on. account of rain, with the score tied, 3 to 3.

By HENRY L. FARRELL ~ (United Press Staff Correspondent.) - LONDON, June 21.—The coming week will be an out standing one in British sport, with the Wimbledon tennis championships competing for attention with the British open golf championship. And America is likely to produce the winner in both: As far as the tennis is concerned, it is hard to see how any of tho British or European men stars are going to break through the semi-finals. Consider that the Unt- ted States Is represented by R. Nor- ris Williams, Hunter Washburit and Richards, It would not’ be surpris- ing to see these four in the semt-fi- nals, They are going great in prac- tee. The chief opposition in the men’s singles at Wimbledon will probably come from Major Kingscot, England, and Alongo of Spain. Two hundred of the best golfers in this country and a number of for eign stars are entered in the Brit- ish open, and it ts being rumored among the prognosticators that the American, MacDonald Smith, 1s go- ing to win the coveted championship this year. Other Americans figured enough to win are Cyril Walker, American open champion, ‘Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, Jim Barnes, Bill Mehthorn and Clarence Hack. ney. ‘ ¢ Defending the title will be A. G.

By FAIR PLAY. (Copyrtght, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, June 21.—Tex Rick- ard is thinking seriously of makin some use of Godfrey, the big Phil- adelphia negro, who meets Jack Thompson in Philadelphia on Mon- day night. Through his agent in B uetios Altres, Rickard has been sounding Luis Firpo as to his views on meat- ing the black, provided, of course, George can be built up into an at- traction between now and August. Jimmy Dougherty affirms, and many believe him, that Godfrey re- quires no building in the way of being a fighter. Hoe ‘s that already, he says and he, being George's mi ager, asks is that tho negro get n chance to demonstrate the fact against some able opponent. Firpo, not knowing much about Godfrey, may be as unwilling to meet him as though he knew a Jot. For in the first case he would’ be doubtful about the fans coughitik up for a bout against the negro asia in the second, he would be unwilling to risk his reputation unless he got a big hand out from Rickard. , Godfrey's work agalnst Thompson will be compared to the showing Harry Wills made against the sims fighter last year. A wise manager would pick Hp Balen, the Spanish champton, who was forced to quit flowing Blood and not weakness nor dazed sensor, in his bout with Ployd Johngon. He ix a fighter, that bird. and the wila est and toughest battler who ever stepped into tre ring. A olever handler could make him a sensa So ferocious Is his appearance that Firpo looks like Jim Corbett by comparison.
