By LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—Knute Rockne, seems so satisfied with the prospects for another fine eleven at. Notre Dame that he i# not even spending the summer in the vicinity of South Bend but !s wandering here and there over the west putting in about the busiest summer teaching at various coaching schools that any gridiron professor ever attempted, Notre Dame's big dates fall on Qctober 16, when she meets West Point; October 25, when she appears at Princeton; then Georgia Tech at South Bend, November 1, and Wis: eonsin at Madison, November 8. Ne- braska will come to South Bend No- vember 15 to see If she can make it three streight over the Indianans and November 22 the South Benders will take the field in Pittsburgh, op- posing Carnegle Tech. Big Ten elevens, either mindful of their reputations or with dates or both, have let Notre Dame severely alone in recent years—that is to say, the leading conference elevens . have, Which, of, course, makes the Wisconsin game the more alluring and interesting. The contest will do the Badgers a world of good; no team can play against + Rockne's men without benefit, pro- vided players and coaches keep their eyes open. Perhaps the benefictal results will show in the games played by the men of Madison following the strug- gle with Notre Dame. Princeton may be expected to displey greater familiarity with the Rockne offense than was the case in 1923. Roper, like most coaches, has his faults, but no,one ever accused him of fail- ing to profit by bitter lessons. The Army, too, will be gunning for the shifty Indiana outfit, Cap- tain McEwan, the coach at West Point, is just now in a mood where he would enjoy a victory over Notre Dame as much—or almost—as over the nayy.

Leonard, physi- clans said, probably will be forced to reat for at least a month before he would be in condition to resume training.

FOSTER (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—The Amer- tean League, observes Manager Lee Fohl, of Boston, is “getting to be a regular left-handed league. He an- nounces that he is ih the market for a good left-hander, adding that he guesses he will “have to get in line with the others.” Lee's observations ate true, too, for the lefthhanders in the circuit are leading their right-hand brethren a merry race for the leadership, Hol- loway, of Detroit, and Thurston, of Chicago, both, right-handers, are uying bravely to stare off the at- tack on thelr elevated position, but Whitehill, of Detroit, Wingard of St, Louis, Shaute, of Cleveland, Pen- nock, of New York and Danforth, of St. Louis, are a baying pack of southpaws on their heels every min- ute, Shaute should be called the south- paw of the fron arms Whenever Cleveland wants to win a ball game, they call on Shaute, And when- ever Cleveland wants to save a game that somebody else has thrown away, they call on Shaute. When he be- gan the year, Shaute was not very fortunate and there were doubters who figured that Speaker was wrong in thinking Shaute was a better pitcher than first baseman. It's the other way now None of them says much about Shaute ex- cept to pun his name and remark that he “shoots” the whale works for Cleveland. If [dwards, the other Cleveland southpaw, had come through this year ay Shadto has, | Cleveland would have been flopping | around in. the prize basket with De-| trot, New York and Washington. Shaute has a fairly good chance of winning more games this year than any left-handed pitctier in bise- ball. Offhand, it looks to be a toss- up between him and Pennock, of the Yanks. The National League is not one third so left-handed as the American. One year, the National was pretty much southpaw, but take it year in and year out, {t has been more of a right-handed than a left-handed league. Yde, of Pittsburgh, {s the feature southpaw of the National and his first year career thus far has been courting old Phenom with some suc- cess, He lost one game up to Aug- ust 9 and won eight.

The pitcher picks it up and throws to first and the umpire calls the bat- ter out. Was he out or was it a dead ball?

Casper Tribune, cinnati and Pittsburgh Traynor was on third and Grimm on second. Traynor was caught between third and home. Grimm, I noticed, touch- ed third while Traynor was being run down, Wher Traynor returned to third, Grimm returne@ to second and was hit on the head by the ball which was thrown by Caveney, Evi- dently it is permissible for a player to touch third and then return to second on a play of this kind. How- ever, L always thought that as soon as the runner on second touched third this forced the runner at home and that all that was necessary was to touch home plate. Kindly advise whether rule has been altered? Answer—Rule nev@t has been changed but you were in error in regard to the force, You can never force a runner in baseball unless the batter starts the play.

AL Advestures eal GIBBONS MAY MEET TUNNEY | THIS SEASON By FAIR PLAY (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribure) NEW YORK, Aug. 12—Tommy Gibbons’ plans for the remainder of the outdoor season are not known But everyone supposes he will mix with Gene Tunney before the snow files. Over in England, Gibbons prob- ably earned @ lot of prestige by his quick disposal of Jack Bloomfield. but here there is nothing to indicate that he boosted himself much. He was In the position, so far as Amer!- can fans were concerned, of being roasted if he did not beat the Eng- Ushman in easy fashion and getting no oredit if he won, It is figured that Tunney would have made about as simple a task of stowing Bloomfield away as did the St. Paul mauler. But Tom did display a ferocity that surprised those who had begun to think that with Increasing years he had developed a benign, kindly spirit which would not tolerate the thought of punishing a fellow mortal unduly, So far as that goes, the suspicion may be entertained that Tommy's consideration of Carpentier at Mich- igan City was in the interest of tho London battle. If he put Carpentier away, the Englishmen would hardly Bloomfield's prospects with the have heated up as they did over American, Tommy can hit. He always could hit and when he ts not afrafa, or rather when he does not haye to worry about the sort of punishment he, himself, will recelve, ho can sock with the best of them. ‘Tunney admires him as a boxer and a good fight, a fight worth big money to see. The writer likes Tunney, admires hi mas a boxer and a8 a man, but good fight though it would probably be, he can't # body but Gibbons as the winner. In fact, just now, friends of Gene, hav ing his interests at heart, will ad vise him to walt a while before he tackles this tough Minnesotan. ns en | Standings National Club ‘Won Lost Pct New York -.... 70 «38 648 Pittsburgh — -.. ee | 44 581 Chicago — ~.. 48 561 Brooklyn 50 541 Cincinnat! . uo 518 St. Louls -.. 63 AIT Philadelphia — 40 66 337 Boston — 39 68 364 American Club Won Lost Pct DeteOt aiecnccasoces$} .. 4T 565 New York ee | 48 564 Washington . 50 545 St. Louis 51 532 Chicago . 56 Cleveland 67 Philadelphia — 63 Boston - ~~...

Star players are purchased by the professional football clubs in Eng- land in much the same way that baseball players are bought and sold in America, except that in England it is customary to refund a part of the purchase price in case the player fails to “make good” with his new club, Ono of the greatest reputations tn the annals of the English boxing championship is based upon a pugt- lst Who entered the ring only thrice.
