The hope that in Bloomfield England had last fonud the way to the restora- tion of her old ring prestige crashed was on the floor helpless with his bleeding head hanging down over the press tables, when the gong saved him, p He went down again at the start of the third round, but he struggled COSUODSDENEPERSLPRECELEGA PLL CTEELETETELESETET ENG CP ERTECTTL ERTL LS EPT LTT TTS TLE EES ERD OUT EO OUEL TORTI TE POUT ETOYS SPUPYEREREOPU ES COVETERERS ECL LELROT TEE? we to his feet and was then knocked practically out of the ring for the count.

Temporary seats had been erected around the ring on the field for “the first time and be- cause of this ét was impossible to got exact figures on the attendance but it was estimated that at least 80,000 saw the fight. Gibbons rushed from his corner at the first bell and backed Bloom: all around the ring, Gibbons s supremely confident. He wat sure of his man that he didn't attempt to feel him out and went rigkt after him. Bloomftield’s prin cipal purpose seemed to be to keep Gibbons away from him and force him to fight at long range. The first round was rather tame, but while there was not much hea action {t was apparent at the start that nomfield did not have a chance and the crowd prepared it- sel? for the burial of its latest hope. Gibbons got under way in the socond round. He ripped a hard right ond a left to the, jaw and Bloomfield went down. He was up at the count of seven gla ved and weary.

Double BROWNS’ SPURT THRILLS FANS Club Inconsistent but Add Interest to League Derby BY JOHN B, FOSTER {Copyright 1924 ‘The Casper Tribune) W YORK, Aug. Ever since the St. Louis Browns departed from New York on their eastern trip they have been cutting in on the lead of the Yanks, Detroit and Washington. St. Louis has done this before and then fallen down. \ For that reason; any*fresh spurt they make now is viewed with skepticism. — Earlier this year they took a start that looked most promising. They be gan to hit together and the loyalty which the players showed to Sisler made it segm as theugh the Browns would pe as much of a contender in the fight as New York or Detrolt. Washington, at that time, had not even begun to loom, Then the Browns crumpled for variety of reasons. Injured players had much to do with it and the pitchers did not come up to expec: tations. Some objected to the man- ner_in which Sisler handled — his team, but they always do that to y manager when his club falls-off ter a spurt. St. Louis slipped as low as sixth place. ‘The team acted as Sf it was out of sorts and those who had hoped most for it became despon. ent. The Yanks walloped the Browns severely in the last visit of St. Louis to the big clty. And then one of those reactions set in which have |hbeen. common in the American | ull season and which have t imp ble t rure whether , were any such things ‘a so rm. That is one of the reaso: hy the American League race 1s so tight. Let n team catch another just right and it wins a perk only to lose In the next one if the conditions versed.

Wild Bull wants his fodder frequently and in plenti- ful quantities. He has no idea of the virtues of dieting and inclines to thone rich viands that titillate the palate and add huge rolls of bon- point to the midriff.

OLYMPICS Food and Coaches Are Some Parties By WALTER CAMP. (Copyright 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug 9.—With ti return of the Olympic athletes we are getting some new lights on these games. Hennigan, who is just back, reports that the food at the Yank training quarters was not what most of the men wanted and that there were some coaching difficul- ties. But this is rather unimpor- tant at this time,.compared with his comment on the Finnish athletes. He believes they are prematurely Aged through their methods of train- ing and the severity of it. He describes Nurmi and Stenroo: as. looking like old men and says that Willle Ritola has developed vari- cose veins in his legs. Nevertheless, hebelieves Nurmi.can break his mile record and will do so. This will cause the public over here to be all the more anxious for a visit from this remarkable Finn, ‘We haye many unrecorded re- markable performances, b:ut two of the latest look reasonable. One of these is the report that Nurmi, the Finn, covered the mile in four minutes, eight seconds and another is that Ned Gourdin jumped 28 feet, 8 inches, the day after Legendre did his 25 feet, 6 ‘inches. Both are quite within the range of possibili- ties. Hubbard is the only man yet who has bettered 25 feet twice In ao- tuad competition but any one of this trio has it in him to approximate 26 feet, strange as such a statement would have appeared in 1920, MARY BROWNE PROMISES STIFE OPPOSITION FOR WILLS IN BIG. TOURNEY BY LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright 1924 The Casper @ribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—From the Present outlook if Miss Helen Wills has any rigorous opposition in the national singles which begin at Forest Hills on Monday, it will come from one or two women if not from both. * Mrs. Molla B. Mallory and Miss Mary Browne, of California, are the two women that the girl from Ber- keley will have to hurdle and judg- ing from Miss Browne's play she is likely to: supply stiffer opposition than Mrs. Mallory. For the last few years, Miss Browne has been wavering between tennis and golf, playing both games very well indeed but not getting as high in either as would haye fol- lowed concentration on one or the other. This year she has prepared herself very carefully for a real try at the national singles title, which she has already won twice. She has not done much tourney playing but has indulged in a great deal of stiff play and this week has been up in, New | York state tuning up her gamo against strong men players. Sho will bring into the national singles that which she hag hitherto lacked, stamina. Even when she was champion her physique was frail and it was this, more than anything that gave Mrs. Mallory her winning see A match between Miss Wills and Miss Browne in the finals would be worth going miles to see. . No wo- man player is mistress of so'many strokes, so many strategical exped- jents/as Mary Browne and she is & woman who can come up to the net and win points consistently; also she knows how to draw an opponent to the barrier and then lob overhead or cut down the sidelines. Sport Gossi All Babe Ruth has to do to beat his world’s mark of 59 home ‘runs for a season is keep up his July rec- ord through August and September. In the early days of billiards th cues were curved like Aockey stic and the balls, which were larger than those in use today, were mudo of wood. An oddity of lawn tennis is tho fact that although the ball is re- stricted as to diameter and weight, the racquet may be. of any size, shape, or poundage. It takes the best part of a year to manufacture a first-class tennis racquet. For the frame of the finest specimens only the lower part of the parent ash trunk fs used. ——_ WITH RUTH AT BAT With Ruth at bat—By The Unit- ed Press First inning—Fanned.
