FOSTER (Copyright 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Juty 30.—The trans- fer of Ogden from Philadelphia to Washington is an improvement for the Senators any way you figure it, Connie Mack, in.a generous mood, sald he could not wish Washington hard tuck in obtaining so-valuable a chap as Ogden has turned out to be. Yet in his most amiable mood. he would like to have the eight vic tories’ which Ogden has pitched for Washington since he has been there while losing but gre game. Griffith “has “not overworked the young man dnd that may have help ed him. For the matter of that, Mack aid not overwork him either, but when he found that his other pitchers were not living up to expectations. he put Ogden in rather frequently to see how-he would work out. As he did not Work out very well, he let Washington have him, Since Ogden has been with Wash ington, he has defeated Cleveland twice, Chicago twice, Detroit twice and Boston twice. The only game he lost’ was to the hard-hitting St. Louis club which every now and then turns in and drives some good pitcher:| to the showers. This present month, Ogden has been -pitching better ball than he ever has pitehed since he started fol- lowing in the footsteps of his brother. He has won five games and lost one. In June he was not worked very hard. Griffith was breaking him ip with his new family at the capital. Mack can not explain why Ogden could not win for him and has been abe to win for Wash'ngton. The rea reason probably 1s that Ogden was coached into a condition of nerves with the Philadelphia team. No one can force a ball player beyond his actual physical and mental abilities. Once in a while a player will cut loose and do something that he never did before, but he will come back to his natural condition Elks Ball Team Practice Tonight All the members of the Elks base ball club are requested to meet at 6 o'clock this evening at the Elks club to go to the Texas grounds for practice, With only two Sunday games left in the regular schedule the Elks will make strenuous efforts to win them both. —-—__——_ Expert watch and jewelry repair.

Of course, 90 per cent of these American animals will be scratched before the time for the race rolls around, but it {s interesting to note how many horsemen felt it worth while posting $250 for each of thelr prospective contenders. Many of the horses n stand no chance again and were put in by the for the adyertising value thing. In after years, they saying of some scrawny foal “Why, his father was named to meet Epinard, the great French champion of 1924!" Harry F. Sinclair, through Sam Hildreth, his trainer, nominated eight different horses for the three events—17 entries in ali—at a total cost to the Rancocas Stables of $4, 250, H. P. Whitney named 11, Aus: tist Belmont 7, Gif Cochran 6. There are to be three races; the first, over six furlongs, at Belmont Park, Sept. 1. The second will be at a mile, at Aqueduct, Sept the third, a mile and a quarter, at La tonia, Oct. 11. Entries for the La tonia race are not all in. The total value of the three races Will exceed $125,000. The nominations afford horsemen with an interesting perspe the relative value, at different tances paced by the country's lead. ing trainers upon their charges. The following horses have mamed for all three races: Grey Lag, Mad Hatter, Zev, Revenue Agent, Ordinance, Ladkin, Whisk- along, Klondyke, Wise Counsellor, My Play, Little Chief, Wilderness and Snob II. Apparently all these are considered g00d at the three distances. i In addition, for the six-furlong event, the racing associatior the following nominatic 15, when the books were clos dale, Out Sun F Splc and Lucky | Play, Worthmore, Laurano, Appre hension, Baffling, Sun Pal, Miss Star | and Rialto.

When the ficlds are whittled down to barrier size, we may expect to find from six to ten horses remaining in each race. It certainly would be most inhosp!- table and, most unfair to Epinard to cram the starting chute with animals and run the chances of our guest, who, after all, came over here for match races and not cavalry charges, getting kicked or crowded at the post; or caught in a jam of horses nd prevented frpm putting his best foot forward, In fairness to the French colt, which can well hold its own in a fiela of reasonable size, some method of eliminating about 90 per cent of the contenders must be worked out, Epin- ard is a gentle animal, easily handled by trainer and rider, with a willing disposition, and {is a good starter.

First in News HY, 1S THEY: MORE ROOM iM UPPERS TALK OF FIGHT ON MEETING | AT RINGSIDE IN NEW YORK By FAIR PLAY (Copyright 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Juy 30.—Much more interesting than the Weinert*Romero fight in New York on Monday night was the meeting after a ong separa “ion of Luts Firpo and Ermino Spal- lo a tthe ring side. They greeted each other like members of the same camorra and nothing was said by either concerning a fight. Where, oh, where were their press agents? Or at least where was Spalla’s pub- leity hound? ° As for Firpo, he needs no advertis- ing, Spalla said he wanted Carpen- Uer for Rome and Carpentier wanted him for Paris. A tie-up. As for the bout, Weinert shaded Romero. And it was a punk bout. The low state of heavyweight box- ing in England is indicated by the fact that the summer thus far has brought forth nothing of any note over there. If there have been any battles, they haye not been of suf ficient importance to warrant paying the cost of from 12 to 20 words of cable. When Vicentini’s knockout of Rocky Kansas 1s discussed, someone always remembers that Benny Leonard was the only other fighter who ever turn- ed the trick on Kansas, This occu red at Benton Harbor, Mich., in 19: In the interest of acturavy and to sive Kansas all due credit, not forget Ung Vicentini, Benny dia not put Rocky to sleep. It was merely a technical knockout. Kansas broke his arm and had to retire. So the Chilean is really the only fighter who ever rocked Rocky to sleep. The lightweight situation !s full of troubles. Just now Vincentin! seems to stand out as the sole baby doll. Pal Moran was talked of until Vicen tint pushed him aside. Bobby Bar- rot seems to have incurred the ange of the Philadelphia fane by the way he slowed up in his recent bout with Tendler after a vivid start. Bobby does not usually do that sort of thing and says Lew dilatory tactics were responsible for the tame ending of the bout. Then Jack Zivic, who was begin- ning to clainr public attention lightwelght hope was beaten by k Bernstein, which ended him, while at the same time the victory did not help Bernstein much, since the fans simply wont seem to hear of the Yon- kers lad standing as a target for Benny Leonard OLYMPIGS T0 AE ‘REFORMED’ So Says Walter Camp in Pointing Out Needs Of Big Games. By WALTE (Copyright 1924, ¢ ribune) W YORK, July 30.—The status of the Olympic games today, reminds one of that in which football found itself 20 years ago. As football.came thru its period of travail, so will the Olympic games. ‘The Olympics will not be dropped but, lke football of two decades ago, they probably will be “reformed.”” If those who ad¥ocate their discon- tinuance and those who want them retained would put their heads to- gether and eliminate some of the dan- ger points, it would be more profit- able than to make charges and coun: a CAMP ter-changes as they have been doing. | good to 6 Tt will take hard, conscientious cA pointer on tobacco: If packed in tins e&eofe Of All Events work to map out the really needed reforms and work of this sort can not be started too goon. It does no y nothing is wrong about them 1¢ faults exist that can be ¢r- rected. Football was reformed at a eritical stage by its friends and the Olym- plo games will be reformed by their friends thru the elimination of such events as depend upon close judges’ decisions and by the excision of sports which unduly stir the pas- sions of the spectators. And probably the limitation of the number of entries possible in any one event would go far toward making the games a fair contest for those countries which can not afford great expenditures, One thing about Jess Guilford’s present game of golf is that hig put- ting, always good, is better than ever. And the driving pf this famous siege gun ts simply prodigious. The man- ner in which he defeated Ray Gorton at Woodland recently was most im- pressive and inclined those who saw the match to wager he will go far- ther than his old rival, Jess Sweet- ser, at Merion in the National Ama- teur. —_—_—_—_—~. + SPORT BRIEFS PARIS.—George Cook, Australiag, heavyweight pugilist, defeated Pao- Uno of Spain in 15 rounds, NEW YORK.—Pete Saraiento, Filipino, won the judges decision over Bobby Hughes of New Orleans in 10 rounds and Jose Lombardo, Panaman featherweight champion, knocked out Mike McAdam, Scotch featherweight champion, BOSTON.—Johnny Wilson, New York, former middleweight cham- pion, knocked out Jock Malone of St. Paul, Minnesota in the sixth round.
