By Walter Camp (Copywright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, ‘July 1— Walter Hagen’s wrok in winning the Brit- ish open championship for the sec- ond time puts him in a class apart. And it was more than luck that enabléd Hagen to capture the title for the second tim When one traces the history of Hagen on the links, finds that the quality of being able to pull through in the crises has been more marked in his case-perhaps than in any other plaver. Hagen has won #0 many tournaments and in the face of such odds, that it {s inevit- able that one turn to some explana tion of this kind. There are other men who can meke the strokes but there are no others who have made the record for winning in big fields and choice ones. If one were to select any particu- lar point where he yeally won this British open championship, it would be in the margin of one stroke, namely the accuracy of his long brassie shots. This in two emer- gencies, one this year and one on the’ occasion of his former victory, stood him in good stead. ————————_—- Sport Calendar Racing. Meeting of Queens County Jockey ¢lub, at Aqueduct.

SECONDS MAKE OR BREAK A FIGHTER By FRANK GETTY ‘| (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, July 1 credit, or, as is too often t! discredit, is seldom given a fighter's seconds for the outcome of a close bout. ;, Where a boxer is unquestionably superior to his opponent, and re- the rest period between rounds as just so much time wasted from the job at hand, his seconds don't matter much. And when a fighter is licked, the best second in the world couldn't save him. But when the going is close and the battlers evenly matched, the fight can often be won in the corner. Take the case of the Dempsey- Firpo fight, which will go down in memory with most of us as the greatest ring contest ever seen,’ Dempsey had been knocked down once, and out of the ring once, and ropes and was slashing awkwardly away with both hands at the cham- pion’s bobbing, sagging heat. For his part, the big South American had been down no less, than sever times. The clang of the bell brought an en] to that furious first round Dempsey tottered to his corner with glassy eyes. Firpo walked'a shorter distance to his and-fell on hia knees from-sheer. weakness before his sec: onds could get him on the stool. It then became a question - of which man's seconds: could bring him around first, and in the best shape. Of course, Dempsey’s own recuperative powers had a lot to do with it, and his ring experience, too. But there is no gainsaying the fact "that during. that brief ‘interval be- fore the decisive. second § round, Dempsey received exactly the right care and condiments from-his expert at the bell Firpo had him on the handlers, excited ‘as they were.

(Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) Question—Batter swings bat so far back on third strike that he hits the catcher. Hoe goes through with the swing and lifts a pop up that falls safe. Umpire saw him touch the eatcher with the bat, What is the decision? ¢ Answer—As the batter interfered more with himself than any one else there séems to be no decision except to rule it a fair hit. He did not interfere with the catcher be- cause he hit the ball. IT’S Dress Week AT Question—Bases full.

Che Casper Daily Critune YEH, IT's * CERTAINLY Tou GH Firpo, on the other hand, was seconded: by willing, but inexper!- enced fellow-countrymen. They were highly excited. They mauled poor Firpo about, swabbed off his perspir- ing, battered face and hairy chest and gave him the sponge to suck. They rubbed lemon on his lips and smelling salts under his nose, mas- Saged the weary muscles of those brawny .arms, and then—Clang! went the bell, and Firpo had to lurch out into the ring, where a refuvenated, revivified Dempsey Promptly knocked him for a whole row of Pampases. oe What went on in Dempsey’s cor: ner was lost on the newspapermen at the ringside, because all were so busy trying to catch up with their accounts. of that kaleldoscopic first round, or to unwind three or four delirious spectators from around their necks, that none had time to observe. Although Dempsey’'s fight- ing spirit was undimmed at the end of the round, as evidenced by the fact that even after the terrific beating he took on’ the ropes at the bell, and after the bell itself, he clipped Firpo on the jaw, the cham- pion was In a bad way physically. Under the direction of “Doc” Kearns, the gang in Dempséy’s cor- ner went to work on the champ, putting ‘thelr million-dollar machine in shape again. Dempsey’s brair cleared under the skilled manipulation of his sec- onds; he was ministered to without their interfering with his deep breathing; it was like a ‘group of skvled meohanicians én a pit at an auitomoblle race changing a tire for a winning machine. When the, bell called for the sec- end ‘round, Dempsey was out of his corner like a shot, haying received the benefit of all it was physically possible for three men to do for him during: that -all-too-brief interval, It wouldn't be detracting a whit from. the eredit to which Jack is entitled for winning that fight to say that the boys in his corner did their part.
