On the eve of the third series of intersectional clashes in the two majors circuits only six teams went through their paces.

NEW YORK, July 8.—Tex Rick- ard's only comment to the cable dis- Patch that Luis Firpo had taken pas: sage for the United States was this: “I knew he would come. He is go- ing to get big money for a fight he thinks he can win. Why wouldn't We come?” In connection with Firpo, the story is golng the rounds that he never would have come had it not been for ‘Wills’ showing against Madden. The story goes on that Paddy Mullins and Wills and the rest know this and showing against the arranged accordingly. ‘Wills’ showing next month against the wild bull, so goes the tip, will wake up a lot of those who were Jumping on Grimes for 15 hits, including five doubles and a triple, the Pirates defeated the Robins 9 to 5.

BRITISH Good Sportsmanship of American Captures Many Friends. By WALTER CAMP. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, July 8.—'‘Little Miss Poker-face” lost a* championship in the finals at Wimbledon, hut she won a greater vietory than a mere championship. She conqueretl the hearts of the British by her calm, unlimited courage at all times and under all conditions. Helen Wills is a modest, honest hard-working tennis player and it was no fault of hers that frinends on this side the water pictured her as journeying over to England to defeat everything in sight. It had become a case of lese majeste even to question her ultimate triumph abroad. Hence the decided let-down when in the international Wightman cup contest she succumbed to two British opponents. Miss Wills even- tually willbe one of the great players of the womans’ tennis world, But it was cruel and unfair for her friends to “boast so exténsively about what she was going to do this trip. Almost every British critle was ready to admit that Miss McKane was most fortunate to win out and that both girls played to the very lmit. The only criticism of her passed by the critics over there was that she was a little slow-footed and that in the crisis she played a shade too cautiously. The writer, who had watched her play in this count: predicted some time ago and reiterates now that as soon as she biulds up greater muscular strength, not only will her " “slow-footedness" pass, but any tendency to. over caution will disappear. Let her build herself up as Leng- len has built herself up, and some day she will occupy the place of the marvelous Suzanne on the courts. —— SPORT BRIEFS COLUMBUS, Ohio.—Ted Moore, Plymouth, England, European mid- dleweight champ!fon, won from Bryan Downey, Columbus, in 12 rounds, y COLOMBES, France.—The Ameri. can Olympic team took two of four finals and made 5544 points on the second day of the Olympic track and field championships. —————____ Expert watch and jewelry repair.

TENNIS PLAYERS HAVE NEW CHANCE IN OLYMPICS By LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, July 8.—American tennis players still have the Olym- Pio tests in which to redeem them- selves for their showing in the sin- gles at Wimbledon. Further opportunity for acclimati- zation, and development of familiar- ity with European conditions will probably result in improvment of the American men and women. The chances are that Suzanne Lenglen will find herself tn condl- tion to play for her country tn Paris and that Miss Wills or Miss Me- Kane, of England, will have a chance to diminish her prestige. Those who are inclined to attribute saffron qualities to the great French player should bear in mind that the sporting atmosphere in France is totally different from that in the United States. ° In France, Suzanne rates as an artiste. She is allowed all rights to temperament such as are regarded as logical, natural, justifiable In a great opera singer, a poet, a violin: ist. When Lenglen is indlsposed to- wards tennis, why should she play any more than the opera singer who several hours before the curtain goes up on an opera in which she is to sing, withdraws because of a sore throat, nervous breakdown or some thing? Mile, Lenglen fs a popular {dol tn France and popular {dols in a Latin country have rights, prerogative and indulgences that are neither known nor understood in less ardent lands. She is not yellow, she is tem- peramental. And! if both these qualities be regarded by Anglo: Saxons as synonimous, they are not by Latins. And that fs that. YALE REACHES END OF GREATEST YEAR By FRANK GETTY (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, July 8.—The grahd- eur that was Yale's on diamond, field and track in the old days’ came back this year. The college season, which closed Jast month, found Eli grads and undergrads checking up glee- fully an unprecedented lst of signal victories over the foe from Cam- bridge, Jawn Harvard. Yale licked Harvard in football, in baseball, on the track and more re- cently on the Thames. In hockey, tennis and basket ball, the Blue also triumphed over their traditional rivals. As this goes to press, re- turns from the post-season checker matches are not all in, so it may not have been a clean sweep for Yale, but it was close to it. The Bll athletes enjoyed a good year against Princeton as well, al- though the Tigers won the baseball and basketball contests, biting the dust before triumphant Blue hosts in football, rowing and track. There was a “Bib Four” at New Haven this year—Bill Mallory, Charlie O'Hearn, Ducky Pond and A! Lindley. Two of these brawny sons of Ell graduated, but Lindley and Pond, captains-elect of baseball and crew, will be back to bother Prince- ton and Harvard in 1924-25. The members of this “Big Four" scored heavily against Harvard and Princeton ir a variety of athletic ways. Tad Jones started to bulld his 1923 eleven around the triple-threat man—O'Hearn, Charlie was put out of the game for the season by in juries sustained in tho early fall. Captain Bill Mallory stepped into the breach and found himself a kicker.

He was the line- crusher, the man who bruised and battered the defense in the first half of Yale games so that the going was easy for the nimble-footed Mal Stev- ens in the second half. Ducky splash- ed his way to a touchdown against Harvard jn the stadium at Cam- bridge, fifst Yale man since Coy to to do so. During the winter, Charley O'Hearn captained the hockey team. His foothall injuries kept him out early in the season but once‘he got going, there was no stopping him. His brilliant playing accounted for Yale winning the intercollegiate cham- pionship. Lindley was a substitute on the football team, and on the hockey team, and played well in many games, Before O'Hearn was through with his work on the ‘hockey team Coach Joe Wood called out the base- ball players, Charley was captain of this team, too Many a day he prac- ticed baseball in the afternoon and went to the Arena for hockey prac- tice at night. On the ball team, O'Hearn #und his old stde-kick, Bill Mallory, mak- ing good as first string catcher, while Ducky, fat and out of condition, was belpg whipped into shape as first string pitcher. Lindley went to the crew and won a seat in the varsity shell after weeks of patent, hard, persistent effort in the second boat. He won out, however, so thoroughly that he will stroke the crew which represents the United States in the Olympic nautical sports at Parlg this summer. He will be back at Yale for more football, hockey anf rowing next year, captain of the crew, Ducky Pond achieved his ambition, he pitched Yale to two victories over Harvard on the diamond, while in these games, Bill Mallory and Charllo O'Hearn closed their college careers by smashing out three home runs between them, ——>___ ? ? ?

French Thoroughbred Will Land From Berengaria. - NEW YORK, July 8—(United Press.)\—Epinard, peerleas French thoroughbred, is enroute from France aboard the Cunarder Beren- garia. Pierre Werthetmer’s great horse comes to this country to meet the best of our turf in @ series of three match races. It is to be hoped that if they have no other good effect, the races will promote good feeling between horse owners and breeders of the two nations. . With increased facilities for trans- porting four-footed champions, there is no reason why horse racing should become as international as tennis or golf, on a more limited scale. Epinard was a real champion last year. It was beaten, but only under crushing imposts. The colt's record was a magnificent one, This year, Epinard has not done so well, but Wertheimer is confident it will show to advantage on Amer!- can tracks, which he inspected when he was over here on business last year. : The French colt has not the tem- perament with which Papyrus, the 1923 Epsom Derby winner, was credited. Less elaborate arrange- ments have been made aboard the Berengaria for shipping the horse. Everything that can be done to make his voyage more comfortable has been seen to, however. A special stall has been rigged up amidships, well padded against roll- ing, so arranged that there will be a minimum of discomfort for his equine highnes: Epinard is a gentje-natured colt, and his owner believes he will en- dure the trip without protest or ill effect. The question of which horses are to meet Epinard had not been settled when final arrangements were made for the horse’s departure, Since the United Press last ob- tained a concensus of trainers, breeders and owners on the subject, no outstanding American colt has stepped his way to unchallenged supremacy of our turf. Some good ones have shown from time to time, only to be beaten in their turn. Grey Lag, the champion of 1921, @NO SJOUNSON VYCHIA! pb and still a great horse last year, was secretly “pointed” for a meeting with Epinard by Sam Hildreth. The taciturn trainer would rather win with Grey Lag, whom he considers the greatest horse he ever trained, than with any of the others. Zev disappointed in several races in June. Bracacale has been doing some good running; Mad Play, too. Black Gold disappointed in a Kentucky trial, Chilhowee won some fast races; so did Hephaistos. St. James is reported “coming back.’ But to none of these can you point and say: That's our best horse, Mr. Wert- heimer, bring on your Epinardl” The French colt lost this year to Sir Galahad III, and was beaten in a stake race, but still showed form above that of other Buropean steeds. Werthetmer's horse now is four years old.
