Tex says that there is room for 91,000 pald spectators on the huge saucer and that, with the deadheads, attendants, officials and the like, he would not be surprised to see a hundred thousand packed into the huge fire trap.

RIDERS START REMOUNT RIDE COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. 5.—Seventeen hors ers left the Broadmoor hotel at 6,80 o'clock Monday morning on the first day's ride of the third annual en- durance ride of the American Re- mount Riding club. The Arab stal- lion E. Sabok was ‘withdrawn yes: terday on account of Jameness caused by a stote bruse: received last week. Unusual interest is being manifested in the race this year and The American golf team which will defend the Walker cup against the British invaders September 12 and 13 at Garden City, Long Island, is being chosen by Robert A. Gardner, who last. year. picked the men who made the trip abroad and succesfully lifted the cup, The names of the team will not be announced until all the team: has been selected, Gardner. has a comparatively easy job in choosing the eight regulars who will compose the team with himself, Francis Quimet, Jesse Guilford, Bobby Jones, Jess Sweetser, Chick Evans and Max Marston eligible. That disposes of seven of the eight places. Any difficulty he may haye will be in naming two alternates out of about a dozen golfers of almost eqtar ability to complete the ten.

In view of the marvelous execution of his pupil, Workhan, he should be able to show those who sit at his feet how to make the most out of the forward pass. Those two great passes—Workman to Stinchcomb— pulled his Wisconsin game out of the fire a few years ago when it was apparently hopelessly lost, Bob Fitzke, one of the greatest all-around football players ever seen in the Rocky Mountain conference, is being given a tryout with the Cleveland Indians. When Fitzke was playing fullback for the’ Univer- sity of Wyoming a few years ago he drop kicked, punted, passed and ran with the ball much after the fashion of Jim Thorpe. He made the unique record of scoring field goals against every team in the confer: ence. Y Fitzke left Wyoming and entered the University of Idaho where he made an equally brilllant record in the northwest. Fitzke is up against a hard proposition trying to break into a big league team’s lineup in mid-season and if he accomplishes it he is en- titled to @ great amount of credit. “TOUISVILLE, Ky.—Frankte Gar. cla, Los Angeles, was knocked out by Joe Paglina, Loulsville, in the seventh round of a scheduled 12 round bout, en Expert watch and Jewelry repair ing.

Lieb was a member of this year’s Olympic team and he signed his contract. with Notre Dame as soon as the Olympic were conoluded. Someone conceived the idea that it would improve the game of base- ball if coaches were removed from the baselines and the base runners Jeft entirely to their own initiative. This proposition, broached to Miller Huggins of the Yankees, brought no approval. Huggins objects to the idea for two reasons, that it would cut down the speed of the game and also take away part of the color. Huggins realizes that baseball is first and foremost an amusement, particularly from the standpoint of the spectator, and that anything thet is done to lessen his interest will -deract from the financial gains. From the purely ‘technical side of the game there is no doubt that if the coaches were removed that base runners woyld be even more better pipe tobacco : Why better? ‘““Wellmanis Method” 22e cautious, Base running has deteriorated year after year until at the present time everything possible must be done to ald this department of the game.

He professes to hold Wills rather lghtly, and to regard the match as a stepping stone to a return bout with Jack Dempszy, The latter's injuries may have further postponed the date of his re- turn to the ring; certainly it is not likely he will be seen in action be- fore the outdoor season of 1925.
