LO CARNIVAL Historic Games Will Be Staged Early in August. | By WALTER CAMP (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, July 18.—Ireland on August 2 in going to play the part of runner-up to France. She will 1 vive the old carnival of athletic sports known as the tailteann games. When the French Baron de Cou- bertin pftoposed the resurrection of the ancient Olympic games, he had not half the background that Ireland has as sanction for the coming games. For the good baron was re viving an event that belonged ex. clusively to Greece—albeit. Romans did at one time send athletes ticipate in 8. the proceedings at Ath- At any rate Ireland is the home of the Tailteann games and thus she will have every’ incentive of patri- otism to make them memorable. And these Taflteann games, no less than the classic Olympics, had their heroes who’ have lived in song and story. One of these Selanta, known as the Hound of Cuchulian, is révered as one of the heroes of these games. And in many an IrisH cabin where athletic exploits are held as a source of pride will be heard the mention of many another name, Since it is likely that not a few Olympic contestants will make the trip to Ireland for this trip, success seems almost foregone. . Jake Driscoll, the old American quarter mile star, has gone over to compete in the Tailteann and thus show the world that his failure to make the Olympic team was due to no shortcomings on his own account, but rather to the carelessness of those who eelected the American band of invaders. The chances are that these Irish games will attract wide attention and become one of the recognized athletic events of the world. ls Since ara Fresno Japs Plan Big Tour FRESNO, Calff., July 18.—The Fresno Athletic club baseball team, composed of Japanese players, which claims the Japanese championship of the United States, plans to sail from, San Francisco September 2 for a tour of the Hawaiian Islands and Jepan.

Then all he need do ts dust off the “8. R, O." signs. There ‘is * something magnetic about the British heir apparent which draws folks ike files at a honey jar. Hoe ts a better drawing card than Babe Ruth, Jack Demp- sey and Mary Pickford rolled into one. The British-American polo matches are to be resumed at Meadow Brook this fall, for the first time since 1914. It's heen so long since we had these matches that most folk seemed to have forgotten that polo, especially these international affairs is the sport of kings, and something to go to just to say you've been there. The tickets,-which are expensive, weren't going ike hot-cakes or any- thing of the ‘sort. So the United States Polo assoolation announced that the Pringe of Wales would at- tend, For the next few weeks the post: men groaried beneath the load of ap- plications for tickets from all parts of the country, “There was a deluge of letters each morning at the as- soctation's headquarters. Everyone and his wife—particularly his wife, perhafs—just had to go to see the polo this fall. Telephones jangled continuously with demands for res- ervations, A few days ago the seat sale was thrown open to the pub- Hc. And even though the prnce’s coming {s somewhat uncertain, there are practically no seats left for the polo: It's the same way with a fight. When Tex Rickard was flirting with a calendar, trying to pick the best date the (maybe) Willis-Firpo bethought himself of nights were unacceptable and days uldn't do, Then he read about of Wales coming to this country, and the problem was solved. Tex solected Sept. 5, and immediately laid. plans to persuade his royal high- ness to, attend, knowing full well that if word got around that the prince-was to be thre, there would be no vacant seats. The chances are that if the prince actually does see the fight, it will be in strictest incognito, accompan- ied by an announcement that he avill not be there. Considering the un- wieldiness of a big fight crowd at night, the authorities: are not anx- jous to take a chance with the dis- tinguished visitor's comfort, It has always been a bit of a mys- tery as to whether Wales was pres- ent at the Dempsey-Firpo fight — that never-to-be-forgotten night at the Polo grounds last summer. The réport got around that “Lord Ren- frew” had slipped down from Can- ada an@ was among those present. It was never confirmed. Sometimes Tex wouldn't deny it; sometimes he would. The proposal has been made to mount the Prince of Wales and have him particlpate in some practice matches at Meadowbrok. The prospect of seeing the heir to the British throne do one of his celebrated brodies from the back of a galloping nag ts certainly an en- ticing one to the American sports lover. After all, it seems only fair that the United States should see one fall in 15; aren't we cousins and all that sort of thing? The international polo matches start September 6, and will end. on the 10th or the 13th, according to whether a third game is necessary. The American open championship, in which two British teams are entered, starts immediately after the Anglo- American matches are ont of the way. ‘We have become so accustomed to American victories in almost every line of sport that some of the recent repulses abroad may be/a needful stimulus. It was a surprise that the Amer- ican Olympic polo four, rated the best in. the world, should have taken the dust of the Argentine team at St. Cloud. But the Americans were the first to insist they were fairly beaten. , Argentine’s team work was what won for them, 6 to 5, in the greatest polo seen in France this year. This {s a bit surprising, in view of the fact that team work was supposed to be the Americans’ forte. Tommy Hitchcock, playing at No. 2 for thé United States four, was knocked unconscious from his pony in the fifth chukker, but struggled gamely on thru the contest after be- ing’ brought to. He was the out- standing star of the American team.

BROWNS KEPT 0 N DEFENSIVE SINCE LAST WEEK IN MAY By JOHN B. FOSTER. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, July ,18.—The St. Louls Browns appear to be out of the American leaghe race. , ‘They are not showing any improvement over last season and {t might even be said that they aré not as good as they were in 1923. The case of’ the Browns is yery much Ike that of the Giants, so far as their victories and defeats are {dentioal in one year as com- pared With the same day of another year. At this time in 1923, St. Louis was almost exactly as well off in victories to a game and no worse ot tm defeats. In. other . words, irrespective’ of what may be hap- pening to the other teams of the league, the Browns are not showing any, more than they did last season. Since the.last week in May, the Browns have. been on the defensive. They were better off at that time than théy have been since and they are not the menace that they were when .they swept along to third place and. gave the second division teams a thumping. It is only too evident now that the team is about the same crew as it was last season and that George Sisler had not been able to tt give it the punch needed to win the championship. It is not frobabi the Browns will be any worse than they are, although they have been steadily dropping for some time. But their maximum strength cer- tainly is no greater than it was last season when Sisler was out of the game, The Browns look less progressive than the Chicako White Sox or the Cleveland Indians. ‘The club seems tg haye found the rut in which it traveled Inte in 1923 and can not wet out of it. The only possible chance ‘the team has to climb is to have some pepper injected into tts veins so that it will get away from the deadly monotony by which it has heén environed so long that the players are on a treadmill, It 1s coming time now that base ball teams begin to show their pen- nant possibilities and the teams that are merely cart horses quickly demonstrate that fact: by playing much the same kind of baseball day after day.
