By FAIR PLAY (Copyright, 1924 The Casper Trit une) NEW YORK, July 5.—Just_ now promoters are holding verbal bouts with one another in an effort to ar. vange a satisfactory date for the Tunney-Carpentier battle. Jimmy Johnston, prorhoter of the [projected combat, simply can uot stage this fight upon the might named by the athletic commission July 24. The Giants play at the Polo Ground on that day and when they get thru with a rival, the grounds are unfit for another battle on the same day. ohnston would like to shove the af- fair abead to Tuesday, July 22, a date which impinges upon one or two Broolyn clubs to whom have been assigned by the commission the early days of the week. The chances are, however, that Johnston may talk the Brooklyn people into a mood of reason, Jack Renault is going to fight someone at the Queensboro A.C. in Long Island City on July 21. Jack has signed papers and says he does not care what opponent Simon Fla herty selects. Jack Sharkey, of Bos ton, the “New John L. Sullivan,” who gave Floyd Johnson such a past- ing recently, may be the man select: ed. Everyone who has seen this husky youngster says he will bear the closest scrutiny.

FOSTER (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribun: NEW YORK, July 5.—There is a baseball axiom that the elub which is in first place on July 4 is the probable winner of the champlon- ship. And that axiom just now is giving great ald and comfért to he Washington fans, for with th ‘ourth practically upon them, they see their favorites standing well out in front in the race and are confi- dent they will be there on Friday. ‘Washington has gone long enough now to establish the fact that they are what they are not because of accident or weather but because they can fight. It is not a freak team nor is the present crop a se ries of freaks. The Senators started on April 19 In fourth place. On April 26 and May 3 they were fifth. 10 and 17 they they began to brace and by May 31 they had fought up to fifth again, They were in fourth June 7 and 14. On June 21 they were in third and the leaders began to falter, On the 24th, the Senators stepped right up to the front of the parade and on the week ending June 28 they were in sole and undisputed command of tho leadership. , There has been a lot of idle talk ahout the Senators suddenly attain- ing undreamed of ights. That {1 a lot of bunk. They have had a good ball club for several years and they have not been dreaming of an: thing else but taking the lead and winning a pennant. ‘Washington gained more than 100 points in June. That is the most substantial recommendation that can be made of them They have not attended the cham- pionship speed of teams that haye won with the customary 667. That is the standard of a number one supremacy, The question {s arising, however, whether there {s any team in the American League this year that 1s going to acquire such a standing.
