First in News Of All Events GOLF TOURNAMENT SCHEDULED AUGUST 18 TO 24 DIL CITY LEAGUE TITLE HANGS TITLE CONTEST TO BE HELD AT COUNTRY. CLUB Tribune’ Loving Cup Is Grand Prize; Others Will Be Awarded Casper’s second annual city golf tournament has been scheduled for August 18 to 24 inclusive, The Tribune silver loving cup, donated last year and won by Glenn Littlefield, will again he in competetion, the cup haying to be won three times to be kept per- manently. The rules and regulations of the tournament will follow those of the ‘Wyoming state tournament which Is seheduled to be played on the Cas- per Country club course starting August 29, A complete list of tour- nament regulations will be published Previous to the beginning of play, As usual the contestants will com- pete in three flights. The Tribune cup goés to the winner of the first flight, » handsome golf bag to the winner of the second and an im: ported silk sweather to the winner of the third flight. The runners up in eaeh flight will be given medals donated by the Tribune. ‘The place where the tournament will be played has yet to be decided but will be known definitely within the next few days. The committee in charge of the tournament met for the first time last night, scheduled the dates, arranged for the prizes and settled the majority of the details of the tournament. A_ meeting this ‘week will complete all but the con- cluding arrangements, The dates give the contestants a chance to get in some tournament play previous to the state champion: ship. As a considerable number of men who will be entered in the big tournament have had no chance to regular tournament play this season, this should be a decided boon, The tournament has been alloted seven days so that no one will have to play more than one match daily, Monday and Tuesday, August 18 and 19, will be for qualifying play, the other five days for mateh play with the finals falling on Sunday, August 24, Considerably more stringency will be exercised this summer than pre- vailed in last year's tournament, All players must qualify on one of the days alloted for qualifying play and all matches must be played on the day on which they are scheduled. No postponements will be permitted and any player failing to show up for his match will be considered te have for- Teited. Early indications point to a bigger and better tournament than last summer With a larger entry list and a higher standard of play. g¢ Campbell, president of the Casper Country. club, announced yesterday that the shipment of mill- ed lumber for thterlor finishing on the new clubhouse had arrived. With carpenters, painters and electricians putting on the finishing touches the club house whould be ready for oc- cupancy in’ two weeks. WILLIAM JOHNSTON {3 SATISFIED «WITH Hild TENNIS GAME, REPORT BY LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright 1924 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Bill John, ston is not worrying about the pres- ent status of his game of tennis, In Past seasons. Bill has como east and swept all before him, only to find himself baked when the su- preme test came i!n_ September. Down at Seabright, Bill has pretty well disregarled the question of de- feat or victory this week. . Oppo- nents have taken game after game from him who, in an ordinary sea- son would have been lucky to get one or two a set. The Californian has been concen- trating on strokes and in general grooming himself carefully with an eye tq the future. Marked improve- ment will surely be noted in his play at Newport this month and in ot'@r tournaments and by the time the national tournament begins at Forest Hills he should be on his toes physically and with all points ef his game under control. At least Little Bill hopes this will be so. He is tremendously interested in the experiment he is making. English comment on the play of our stars at Wimbledon shows a lot of falr-mindel discernment. It is pointed out that whereas English and continental players work up to their best-form early in the season #0 as to be ready for play in France and at Wimbledn, American stars are looking to the great American events in late August and September and dare not arrive at the peak of their form in and June. The evil results of doing this are indicated, they point out, in the ease of Johnston, who had such a brillant European season in 1923 and then In America went steadily down hill George Earl Milstead ts a*young pitcher who is Chicago Cubs, ‘Last year George Ear! sat about himself and asked for a trial.

SOCKING Rickard Ready to Make Liberal Terms to Fighters With Johnston Also Prospect In the Staging BY FAIR PLAY (Copyright, 1924, The Caaper Tribune). NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Plans are on foot to match Harry Greb and Johnny Wilson for the middleweight title, Tex Rickard said today that he would be glad to stage the bout and pay for it with commensurate liberality. Jimmy Johnston would also be glad to put it on, promoter.

John McGraw, who has pickd up more big league castoffs than any major league manager extant, and who strange to say has had more than average luck with the supposedly wornout ball players, has just added another so called’ relic to his roster. The new Giant is no other than Leon Cadore, veteran pitcher, whose greatest claim to fame lay in his having hurled a Cadore Wes sent from: th 26 inning game in Boston in the spring of 1920. White Sox to Vernon of the coast league and given his unconditional release by the latter club. McGraw decided to give him a-chance and Cadore may soon be seen in regular action. Cadore, although a yeteran in baseball experience, is only 31 years lg and should have several seasons of good baseball in his system.

The International league, supposedly the strongest circult outside of the majors, is having a lean summer, Inclemont weather in the spring in the lake cities of Toronto, Buffalo and Rochester kept down the attendance and the usual summer excitement has been handicapped by Baltimore's ¢ manding lead over the field. As a consequence there have been many rumors of changes of ownership and clubs, franchises, parks and players in most of the cities are on tne market. The International is the only league of consequence which will have nothing to do with the draft and that decision has handicapped owners lin the sale of players. So would any of the country. Greb, présumably, is not averse to meeting Wilson again, but just now 4s preparing for a battle this month that looks to be # tough one, namely, & go with Tiger Mowers, the battling negro middleweight from Atlanta. _ Flowers, by the way, is in this city right now, getting ready for a fight on Saturday night with Jack Townsend, the Chicago bruiser. Bartley Madden, who has gone to Jersey to prepare for Jack Renault, said upon leaving his West Side haunts that after boxing Wills, he viewed the meeting with Renault with no alarm. “Wills is credited with being as hard a hitter as there is,” said Bart- ley, ‘and I never heard anyone class Renault with the negro as a walloper. Anyway, what the fans overlooked in the Wills bout was that I handed out more than a few myself. I fully ex.)

BENEFIT PLANNED FOR JOHNNY MPDERMOTT OF FORMER GOLF FME BY WALTER CAMP (Copyright 1924 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Proposed benefit by Prefessional golfers’ to Johnny MeDermott is a fine tribute. McDermott was the best golfer in this country a dozen years ago when he suddenly broke down, Many a round has the writer haf with him over the Atiantle City inks. At Northfield tho writer has seen him send his second shot sailing over that long sand ravine straight and true to the green, whereas even the best of his rivals had to have all conditions favorable and the wind behind them barely oh carry and still have a chip shot left. Yale {s vitally interested {n this week's announcement that Jess Hawley will return to Dartmouth as head conch. Under Hawley's leadership the Green was stopped by only one team last season and that was the crack Cornell outfit coached by Gilber Dobie. Yale plays Dartmouth this year, which is naturally the reason for her in- terest in Hawley’s return. Looks as tho Elf had taken on a big sched- ule contract this year. There were some thrillers in the golf world last week, Johnson, of Minnesota, had to go the full course to dispose of Albert Seckel. When the former Princetown stood four up and five to go, it looked as if the match were to be his. But Johnston staged a comeback and capped the climax by sinking a 35 foot putt for a birdie 3 and the match on the Jast hole. ftront young M to win his Isham c from Fairchild, Bradley and Bur: gesnor tled for the New England public links championship, each doing 158.
