FOSTER. (Copyright, 1924, Casper. Tribune.) NEW YORK, July 23—Of the three clubs bringing up the rear in the National league, the fall of the St. Louis Cardinals made the great- est racket. Yet when the work of the~team- is analyzed, it will be found that it has not sheered very far from its course because a cham- pionship can not be won by one or two star batters against an outfit like the Giants, which is made up of smart players. The second division of the older circuit adjusted itself to places all too early to sult the owners who try to make the league talk in a loud and excitable voice, ike its American league neighbor. The Cardinals worked thelr way out of the cellar so quietly that Nobody noticed it except a few loyal St. Louis fans. By so deing, Phila- delphia was shoved down the chute to eighth place again. The spur of the Cards can avail them nothing in the championship way. They are seemingly through with the race except paying toll to the scheduled and fulfilling their Angagements. Holke, first baseman of the Phila- delphia Nationals, tied a world record in baseball in the first game of the doubleheader against Chicago on July 19, when he made seven assists. Two others in the National have had that mark—Branéfield of Pittsburgh, in 1904, and Luderus of Philadelphia, th 1918. Seven assists in one game for a first baseman is unusual. The only American league first baseman with seven to his credit is Stovall, former St. Louls star, That is the high mark in the American league als Yesterday’s | Scores NATIONAL LEAGUE Boston 3-1; Chicago 1-8.

(United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, July 2% (United Press).—A victory without whieh the Olympic games of 1924 would not haye been complete, at least from the Américan point of view, was that of Jackson V. Scholz, former Missour! university star, now of the New York Athletle club, in the 200- metré dash, Jack Scholz was the famous “come-back" of the Olympiad. After Antwerp, in which he rep- resented the United States in the dashes but failed to distinguish him: self, Scholz was thought to have hung up his spiked shoes for good: Jack thought so himself, as a couple of springs drifted by and the call of the cinders came more faintly each year. Last winter, however, running {n the colors of the New York A. C., Scholz trained for and enteréd the indoor meets around this city. He captured the Metropolitan 70-yard championship, but otherwise was consistently heaten by Loren Murch!- son and “Boots” Lever. On his showing on the boards, none of the erities picked Jack for Olympic glory.

He was Second to Chet Bowman in a 100 he might have won, and was easily the best at 200 metres. Scholz's performances, over. shadowing all others at Cambrlage, made him, perhaps, the ovtstanding figure of our team at Paris, and ho was picked by the American coaches as a likely wnner of both the dashes. In the 100 métres at Colombes sta- dum came the upset in which the rangy English Jew, Abrahams, prov- ed himself Scholz’s master at the shorter distance and ran away with first place, the N.Y. A.

(Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, July 23.—Criticism is being heard with reference to the track ches of the Olympic team. The fact that the ficla men Won nine first places, a much better showing than the track men made, is held to reflect reriously upon the coaches who had the runners in charge. ‘This is grossly unjust as any sur vey of the facts as they were brought out at Colombes stadium will adequately testify. The absence of first places by Americans in the track events was not due to defective coaching, but to the fact that, fast as our men ran, the forelgn victors ran faster ‘The fact is that, in @ great majority of cases, our track men did as well abroad as they had done at home. In other words, they were up to their form in Paris. Why, Scholz had to break a record to win his first in the 200 metre track event and the very best of performances aldhe s@rved to givé Finns, English- men and the like the victories they won in other track features. But, generally speaking, the deviating performers in the and 7 un- track eld sport are the field athletes. k men are inclined to fluctuate susceptible to many condition) whereas ficld-men have the quality of constancy, While no special hurrah has yet been made about it, there seems to be the general {dea among track men that the 1928 Olympic games should be held in America, If this idea—it has been broached ur athletic authorities who went rance with the American team —oes through, the next point to be decided will be the location. The east will probably bulwark its claims with the statement that the west— St. Louls—has already had the Olympics and that the oast is en- titled to it. A good argument, but the Pacific coast if not the south, will remain to be heard from, With reference to the probable entrance of Minnesota into the western rowing body now being formed, It might be pointed out that more than a third of the great Yale champion Olymple crew hailed from that state.
