FOSTER. S (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) # NEW YORK, July 3.—Pitchers Shave only to’ show their heads in he minors this season to be snapped up by the ccouts. Many of the Esensational ones already belong to «the big leagues and will be recalled. ?'Thoss who dor ng probably will before A All down he “line the major league managers are urging to owners to grab pitchers while yet they may be had. Cleveland has‘ taken Mitchell of “Memphis for delivery in the fall. EMitchell has been winning con- _sistently and that’s the sort of pitchers Cleveland wanis to line up efor next season, The Indians also “have cast covetous eyes in other * directions. All the good ones in-the minors, by the way, are not new ones. For instance, Cleveland some years had EVean Gregg. He was. then ono of “the best left hinders in the majors. & Cleveland let him go, thinking his «arm was through. But Vean found fF some elixir of youth out in the far northwest and the scouts are begin- {ning to follow him around and won. .der whether it might not pay to recall him. < Mails, the. sensational southpaw f ef 1920, is not winning much on the #Pacific coast this year, but he is * playing with the Oakland club which is never as good at playing ball as “tt is at playing politics. Every now fand then he comes through with a game and the eastern scouts Sere giving him some attention. Kunz, who was sent back to Call- S¢ornia by Pittsburgh, is doing better than he did in the National, and may be asked to return to the émajors in 1925. ‘The freak pitcher on the const fs ‘Williams, a kid with San Francisco, ‘who was picked up in Ada, Okla. In the six games in which he got a regular turn in the box, he won five. Griffin of San Francisco, is an- other kid who looks as though he * would make a good pitcher. Mitchell , of San Francisco, also appears as if * he was up to snuff. Pat Shea, once iwith the Giants, is winning on the _ coast. £ ‘There ts ss! to be a younger “ brother of Waner in Oklahoma who "ts q better baseball player than the xi4 now with San Francisco. If © that ts the case, the scouts had bet- ter take the train for Ada, because the elder Waner certainly upset things when he broke into the coast league last year.

Zahniser, veteran of many medio- cre seasons, shut out, Boston yester- day, 5 to 0, allowing only two hits. With the Senators three games ahead, the next six clubs continue in a jumping-jack performance from second place to seventh. The Yan- kees split a double header with the Athletics by scores of 8 to 9 and 10 to 1, and fell four points behind De- troit which beat Chicago, 2 to 1 in an old fashioned pitchers’ battle, de cided in favor of Whitehfil over Con- nally. Rommell was a better relief pitch er than Hoyt after Bush and Harris had been knocked out in the first game of the Yankee's double header. ‘The world's champions smothered their opponents in the second game. Metevier could not hold a three run lead and was driven from the box by the Browns, who defeated Cleveland, 6 to 4, and climbed from seventh place to one point behind the Indians in fourth. Boston slid to seventh and Chicago to sixth. Only cs) game separates the four teams. Copper pitched masterful ball against the Cardinals, winning 3 to 2, and Pittsburgh continued its threat of a march on Brooklyn and ‘Chicago. The Cubs gained on the Giants by winning from Cincinnati, 7 to 5, as Dazzy Vance broke the New York spell and pitched Brooklyn to a 4 to 1 victory—the fourth in 17 games be- tween the teams this season. Garlson held the Braves to five hits and the Phillies moved into sixth place in the National by win ning a 3 to 1 victory. Boston fell to seventh.

By WALTER CAMP (Copyright, 1924 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, July 3.—America certainly is building them bigger and better when it comes to rowing. Of the varsity, crews at Pough- keepsie, Washington, Syracuse, ¢ nell and Pennsylvania, there were only three men out of 32 who were under six feet. Seven of them were over six feet three inches. Washington bad no man in her boat under six feet in height and there were two who measured 6 feet 4 inches and one who measured 6 feet 3 inches. Syracuse had two men over six feet three. Cornell had one who measurd 6 feet 4 and Pennsy evania had two over six feet threc. Age took its toll both on links and courts in England last week. Norman Brookes, after defeating Francis Hunter in a glorious revival of all his ‘old skill, went down before FE. Washer simply because he’ had nothing left to give in the way of physical strength. J. H. ‘Taylor, after a mervelous round of 70 at Hoylake, fell by the wayside in the exacting, long grind. But both gave wonderful exhibitions of skill and delighted the galleries with flashes of thelr old time greatness. There are two improbable con- tests which the world would Ike to see. One is the race between Ru Callow’s Washington crew and Ed Leader’s Yale eight. The other is a match between Miss Joyce Wethered British woman golf champion, and Miss Glenns Collett er SPORT BRIEFS BUTTE, Mont.—Dixia Lahood, Butte, 19-year-old bantamweight, knocked out Young Geene of Charleston, W.

Foster, the man who helped make the rules under which the game is played today. If you want a per. sonal reply enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Other, wise your question will be answered in this column. Address—John B. Foster, Special Baseball Correspondent of the Casper Tribune, 811 World Building, New York. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) Question—I am an smateur and my only trouble is at bat. When at bat I get nervous and let every ball good or bad go by me. I am always 1 to strike at a good ball and mostly always get struck out. How can I stop it? Answer—There is only one way in the world. Make up your inind that you will smash daylights out of every one that 4s pitched until you get over your nervés. Also bear in mind that the pitcher is just as nervous as you are until you betray yourself. Question—In view of the first half of the sentence of section 1 of rule 30 and section 5 of rule 34 why do the umpires generally® permit the pitchers to stand with one foot back of the rubber while winding up? Would an umpire be incorrect in calling this a balk? Would the um- pire be right in calling the pitch a ball providing it went over the base as he would ordinarily call ft a yates hes) Locate not swing at It Answer—The pitcher should not be permitted to wind up with one foot back of the rubber but presuming that he does if he gets forward in time not to deliver the ball with one foot back of the rubber the pitch itself might be considered legal. The Pitching rule is not well worded. It is making a greut @eal of confusion and always hes. An umpire may call a balk if the ball is delivered with one foot back of the rubber but be must be sure about the foot. An umpire cannot call pitch that goes over the plate at the legal height a ball, Question—Is Hargrave a better catcher than any other in the Na- tional league? Answer—They seem to think so in Cincinnat! and in other cities they have a very high opiifjon of him. lalanuy Cetin ewe YALE CREW HAS GOOD CHANCE IN OLYMPICS By FRANK GETTY (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, July 3.—(United Press).—America’s colors will be swept over the Colombes-Argenteuil course on the Riven Seine in the Olympic nautical sports this month by as great an elght-oared crew as ever represented this country. Yale's varsity eight smashed the Olmpic record by 12 full segonds in the tryouts on the Schuylkill, in which the Elis took the measure of the Navy's officers. The race was not at the exact Olympic distance, but careful compilation of the Blue's time the 2,000 metre mark showed the record smashed. Of course, conditions on the dlag- onal course at Philadelphia may havé been somewhat different from those on the Brussels canal, where the navy made the existing record in 1920, and may be different from those to be encountered on the Seine. But the showing of Ed Leader's oarsmen is mighty cheering’ and places them above the navy elght of go, in the opinion of the he English crew, which is ex- pected to furnish the main opposi- tion is in for a hard race, and Yale may start the favorite at Paris.” We do not know yet which of sev- eral excellent crews will be sent rom England, or whether a special Olympic crew will be made up. They row for the Grand Challenge Cup on the Thames July 6, and the date’ of the first heat of the Olympic trials is July 10. Any oarsman knows what means. If the winners of the and are to go to Paris, they. will © to pack up hurriedly, cross the channel and get into some stiff com- petition on the Seine before they are fairly acclimated. And if England wins in the heats, fs crew may have to row four times in a week. The alternate woutd be for Eng- land to make up a special elght for the Olympics, which would, of course weaken several of the crews which lakis is sleeping. are entered for the Grand Challenge Cup. ‘The English might stand a beating by Yale, but it. would be a sorry blow for the British Hon if its oars- men were to lose to some other coun- try through too much work in too short a space of time, which well might happen. Ed Leader is hopeful- that the sweep-swingers he took to Paris will regisetr a victory for the United States, It would be another feather in the cap of this serfous young man from the west, who made Yale row- ing what it {s today, after turning out a magnificent lot of*oarsmen Washington university. The Yale crew which went abroad immediately after the race with Har- yard in June will scatter over Europe after the Olympic games are over: Captain Rockefeller and BH. Sheffield will continue on eastward around the world. When Yale defeated Harvard at New London, June 20, it was the 80th victory for Ell oarsmen over their rivals from Cambridge in the 57 contests of this kind that have been rowed almost continuously each year since before the Civil War. ‘The first race was rowed on Lake Winnepesaukee in 1852, over a two- file course. Harvard winning. late years Yale's supremacy has 4@s- serted Itself, and this year's victory was the fourth in succession for the Blue. It was also one of the easiest in the history of the Yale-Harvard contests. Just what Harvard will do to buck up in rowing before next season re- main unsetled. “Rusty” Callow, men- tor of Washington university's crews, would add immeasurably to the strength ‘and prestige of the Crimson navy. i “ There are sports and sports. A Greek, by t name of Dimetrios Singlelnakis, proposes to set out alone in a 24-foot boat, designed by himself, and girdle the gicbe—tak- ing two and @ half years for the voyage. France awarded Alain Gerbault, yachtsman and tennis star, the high- est honor accorded her athletes in recognition of his feat in crossing the Atlantic alone in a skiff. This Greek proposes an adventure un- paralled among single-handed achievements in the realm of sport. For it is q sport, and {t will take the finest qualities of a sportsman to keep Singlelakis at his task and bring him through successfully The boat in which -he will leave New York, July 25, has a svecial contrivance for catching rain-water and two tanks-to hold four months’ food supply: It has two sea-anchors, to be cast overboard when Single- He said he consid- ered sleeping from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. each day. The Shark, or Carcharias, as Sin- glelakis has named his skiff, will sail a course eastward across the Piraeus, through the Suez Canal, across the Pacific, through the Pan- Atlantic to Gibraltar, Barcelona, the ama Canal and back to New York. The Greek expects that the first leg of his voyage from South Ferry, New York City, to Gibraltor, will take about 80 days. The Shark has a 16-foot mast and a special sail, @ seven-foot beam and a draft of 36 inckes, so much will depend, of course, upon the weather, Singelakis holds a first mate's ticket, having spent 14 years of his life at sea. He ts 25 years old. There is something that fires the imagination in his proposal. Sports- men throughout the world will wish him well. | Sport Calendar Golf, - ' French amateur championship tournament opers at La Boulle. jan amateur championship tournament, at Toronto Rowing.
