PARIS, July 16.—(By The Associated Press).—Now that the fields are narrowing down in all branches of the Olympic championships, competition promises to be keen- er today with the Americans all set to carry a determined battle to their rivals in at least three sports—tennis, swim- ming and boxing. Having qualified the last of their five entries yesterday when the Yale crew and the doubles sculling com- bination of Costello and Kelly scored easy victories in trials for temor- row’s finals, the United States oars- men will have a day of r Other ETRONT MAY GET INFRONT New Sensation Likely In American League, Foster Says. By JOHN B. FOSTER. ight, 1924, Casper ‘Tribune.) NEW YORK, July 16.—Advent of Detroit into first place ts the next that may be expected in Rensation the American league race unless the Signs fall The Tigers have been filrting with first place for much of the season and they have started their eastern tour as if they meant to climb into the leadership before they return home. Cobb's men have ybeen within four games of the top tmore than once this season. They thave crawled even closer now and *they are putting up a better front ; than they have since the season ) started. When Heilmann thoroughly re: covers the use of his batting grip and gets his eye on the ball as it ‘was before he was taken. ill, the {Wigers will be a bigger menace to ‘opposing pitchers than they have been and that is where they look good. Warly in the season, the Tigers were one of the best batting clubs in the American league. Then they fell off. Crippled players and in effective pitchers were given as the main reasons for the decline. The principal reason, however, which was overlooked, was a batting slump. The Tigers tumbled from over .300 to .290 in batting. That is a header with a vengeance. If they can fight their way back to 00 in the batting colmun, the r is likely to land them in first place, so the pitchers of other clubs had better watch out for these wolverines and keep them off the bases. ‘Burke is playing second base for Detroit about as well as he played it for the Richmond Club and he has justified Cobb in retaining him. Ty has been criticized for holding on to Pratt, yet Pratt helped the team ut the start of this season. If Burke is coming through, as he now seems to be coming, the hole that other elubs insisted gaped so wide at sec- ond will be closed and the infield will be much nearer the standard that is necessary to give ‘battle to the Yanks and the Washington Senators, Blue is beginning to pick up in batting and that is another good point for Detroit If Heilmann, Blue, Menush, Cobb and Rigney get the swing of 1 and Burke can approach .300, the Tigers will be a harder team to down than they have been, and it has been impossible to put them In second division as things have been going.

Miss Helen Wills, American wom- an tennis champton, demonstrated by eliminating Mrs. Satterthwalte of England, in the singles yesterday that she will make a strong bid for the Olympic title. She is among the three American women remain- ing in the list of sixteen in the cham- pionship contestants. American men remaining are R. Norris Willlams, Watson M. Wash- burn and Vincent Richards. The latter has a stiff match today, meet- ing Manuel Alonzo, the Spanish champion. Francis T. Hunter, who was put out of running yesterday by Jean Washer, the Belgian star, has not recovered from his recent arm mis- hap and it was probably due to his physical discomfort that he met de- feat. Hunter, however, remains in the doubles with Richards, along with Williams and Washburn among the men, while Miss Wills and Mrs. George Wightman are the sole sur- viving women's pair. They will en- counter familiar rivals today in the Norwegian players, Mrs. Molla B, Maliory and Mrs, Dahl.

CARPENTIER’S LAST CHANCE By FRANK GETTY (United Press Staff Correspondent.) EW YORK, July 16—When a boxer has been as consistent a ring performer as Georges Carpentier, it is unusual to speak of his “coming back.” But that Is just the way we must 2k at the Frenchman in the light of his forthcoming bout with Gene Tunney, American light heavyweight champion, The two are scheduled to meet, July 24, COMING UP second-rate fighter, He is of the stuff whereof champions are made.

But when he was knocked out by Battling Siki, the Imd boy from Senegal, then definitely did Georges hit the chutes.

When Georges made such a miserable showing against the St. Paul terror, he finished himself as a real top-notch drawing card. But this bout with Gene Tunney opens the door again—just a crack. If—and it doesn't seem likely — Georges could polish off the Ameri- can champion—not win by a lucky, looping, right-hand puneh, but real- ly whip Tunney deciseviy—then there might be something more doing for the Frenchman. But that’s the only wey there ever will be. Carpentier has announced he will retire from the ring if he loses to Tunney. Carpentier wasn't made to be good second-rater.
