(By The Associated Press) Detroit, New York and Washington change positions so rapidly in the American League that they scarcely can keep tabs on their own standing. The Tigers farewell ictory over the Yankees yesterday elevated them to the head of the list again, half a game in the van of the world champions and Senators, who today are tied for second place. In another game in keeping with the high temperature in the metropolis, Detroit put over the de- clding tally just in time to annex a 5 to 4 win before hostilities were YANK CHEERING UPOET FRENCH Rugby Match Row Ex- plained by Athletes On Their Return. By LAWRENCE PERRY. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NE WYORK, July 25.—French misunderstanding of American stopped at the end of the eighth to enable the Yanks to catch a train for the west. In spite of Walter Johnson's blow-up, Washington emerged vic- torious over Chicago for the fourth time in the five game series by a score of 7 to 5. Kolp failed to repeat his winning performance of last Monday against Philadelphia and St. Louts dropped the last game of the series, 5 to 0. Boston staged a, successful of- fensive against Cleveland in’ the battle for sixth place and drew upon even terms with the Indians by virtue of a 10 to 9 triumph. Baseball in the National league was confined to Pittsburgh, where Brooklyn lost to the Pirates, 8 to 1.

You KNOW TAPS SOUNDED ON CARPENTIER’S GARCER IN DEFEAT BY TUNNEY French Ring Hero Passes Out in 15th Round Of Gruelling Battle at Polo Grounds; Re- tirement From Ring Held Certain. NEW YORK, July 25.—(By The Associated Press) .— Georges Carpentier, colorful light-heavyweight, war hero and idol of France stands today a retired pugilist figura- sively knocked out of the ring by the stinging left hand of Gene Tunney, American light-heavyweight champion. Taps were sounded on Carpentier’s career last night at OLYMPIC RULE HITS AT FINN 10,000-Metre Run One Of Three Events Eliminated. By WALTER CAMP. (Copyright, 1924; Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Jily 25—When last week the writer criticized the 10,000 meter cross country run he little expected that the event would be dropped so summarily from | the Olympic program. Nonetheless such action has been taken and with this feature, has been eliminated the 10,- 000 meter walk, the penthalon and the 3,000 meter team race. The wisdom of dropping this last event may be questioned, since evi- dence is in hand so far as this coun- try is concerned that the relay races are the most popular of all tr events. t Consider the popularity of the nn relays where the atendance pses all other events relating to k and field. ‘The writer hopes, many other persons interested in the sport also hope, that the Olym- ple committee has not been too pre- cipitate in this matter and has ex- cellent ground for its action. From this distance, it looks like a severe blow to Finland, who piled up 49 points in three of these events, Finland is the hero of the hour and deseredly so. Her athletes have demonstrated that athletes of other countries, especially the | United States, need a lot of education in distance running and that tt woul: become them to take it up with seri- ousness rather than to assume an air of hostility toward this branch of runnin As to the 10,000 meter run, it was held on a very hot day and again the course seems not to have been selected with any great degree of consideration for the participants. 'This combination’ and perhaps “not the event itself, may have caused the trouble.

NEW YORK, July 25.—Gene Tunney today denied that the blow which crippled Georges Carpentier in the fourteenth round of last night's battle was foul, as alleged by Carpentier and his manager, Francois Descamps. “It was an uppercut to the pit of the stomach,” said Tunney, Car- pentier had “declared that he was struck low.

DON'T REALLY NEED NO MANICURE OUTSTANDING STARS OF 1924 OLYMPICS By FRANK GETTY (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, July 25.—(United Press).—Through the welter of daz- zling performances, crashing records, intense heat and bitter rivalries that characterized the Olympic Games of 24, one dominant figure stood out above all the others—cool, unassum- ing, winner of four first places, a in every race in which he vo Nurmi, diminutive distance runner from the northland, is the greatest track athlete of which we > any record, when endurance,” adaptability and overwhelming su ority in his many events are taken into consideration. Nurmi ran everything from a mile to six and a half miles, and was never beaten, never seriously threat- ened. He finished first in the 1,500 metres, the 3,000 metres team race, the 5,000 metres and the 10,000 me- tres cross-country—a record for all modern Olympiads. He won the 1,- 500 metres and the 5,000 metres runs within an hour and a half one hot afternoon. The little Finn trains on a dlet of black bread and dried fish. He drinks Lttle water—not over two-quarts in all during the week when he was breaking records and running away with most of the first places. How much better Nurmi {s than his-fellow countryman, Willie Ritola, is demonstrated by the fact that he took on the Amerlcan-trained Finn at all distances and beat him every time. Strangely enough, when there was slory and plenty to go around, there was bad blood between the two Fin- nish stars. Ritola won the 10,000 me- tres run, the 3,00 metres steplechase and finished second in three other races, scoring a total of 35 points for his country. But he wanted to beat Nurmi. He picked the 5,000 metres run to do it in. Nurmi had just won the 1,500 metres an hour before, and TEX HAG ALIBI IN FIGHT TALK Dempsey Accident to Let Him Out of Firpo Bout. . By FAIR PLAY (Copyright 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, July 26.—Luis Firpo has said more than enough, even granting his small stock of English, to indicate that one of the main arguments Rickard’s agent used to pry the wild bull from his native pampas was the prospect of a meet; ing with Jack Dempsey this year. Out in Jersey today, Luis spoke with great optimism concerning a 1924 match with the champion and was concerned lest Jack's automobile smash-up in which he injured his right arm, might delay matters. It will delay matter& all right. Or it will, at least, give Rickard a fine} chance to kiss himself out of any representations Juan Homs may have made to the big fighter in Buenos Aires. Things always break well for Tex and in this case there was no exception to the rule of good fortune. Of course, even with an uninjured arm, Dempsey would have done no fighting in defense of hig title this year. His movie work will keep him engaged until it wil be too late to train for an outdoor bout and an in door title fight is out of the ques tion if only because of the gate re- ceipt angle. While the New York boxing com- mission is summoning fighters pro- moters and managers octated with the propc Walker-Leonard bout next month and making a loud noise generally, the fact should be borne in mind that until the light and welterweight champions actual ly meet, the boxing commission has no cause or ground for action. Reports that Tex Kickard has de- cided to give up the Jersey location can not be confirmed. Tex will say nothing. The chances are, however, that Rickard will hardly be inclined to toss this fight over his shoulder. For if it isn't held in Jersey, it looks as the Jersey interests have enough of a hold over Mickey Walker to pre: vent him from engaging Benny in New York.¢ presumably should have been due for a long rest. When they went to the mark for the 5,000, Ritola set out to make a race of it with Nurmi. ‘The latter could have loafed along and won the race had it not been for his persist: ent team-mate, who drove him every inch of the way to a close finish in new Olympic record time. At the finish, satisfied that he couldn't beat Nurmi, Ritola held out his hana after the American fashion, but the victor turned his back. urmi's victory in the team race was achieved as he ran for most of the distance looking over hf show der, coaching two of his team-mates, including Ritola, in to finish second and third behind him. In the 10,000 metres cross-country run, the wonderful little Finn tolled tirelessly over broiling country roads at a pace that brought him in 500 yards ahead of the second man, who ‘gain was none other than Willle Ritola, Nurmi is a running machine— nothing else. He is short of stature, stron, but not particularly robust e has a shorter stride than mc sood distance men, but it fairly up the ground. He never seems to ire, not to strain, Hg quickens his pace like a high-priced automobile moving up as the gears shift smooth ly into high. The Finn is a student of the art ~ running. He knows his limita ions; though no other distance run ner of his age has been able to test hem. He knows just how far he should be in a race after so many seconds have elapsed; and just when to let out a notch; how fast he should be golng at the half-way mark, e| It 18 as though he were an autor ‘on, regulated by someone apart stom the race. To accomplish this regulation, Nurmi carries a stop-watch with him in his right hand. He glances at it frequently, making mental notes as to the distance, and deliberately speeds up or slows down acc ly, without so much g opponents. He feels supremely con fident that a certain time will ba fast enough to win; he sets out to make that time without worrying about what the others are doing. There was a something Indicrous in Ray Watson's gallant attempt to “run the Finn off his legs" and let the other Americans score. Nurmi didn't pay any attention to Watson, but before the race was half over Was going so fast ‘anyway that the plucky Illinois A. C. runner was ex- hausted and had to fall back, while Nurmi went on to win as he pleased, << —____ Sport Calendar Racing. Meeting of Empire City Racing association, at Yonkers.
