FARRELL (United Press Sports Hditor) NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—(United Press)—Although there was no feel- ing among the Americans at any time during the Olympic games that the demonstrations of poor sports- manship on the part of the French should cause the Olympic idea of athletics to be abandoned, there was a pronounced opinion that several defects in the present-system should be improved. Accepting it as a fact that sports- manship cannot be legislated into any nation it was, Nevertheless, agreed that the occasions for dem- onstrations of pooy sportsmanship could he reduced by more care in the appointment of offielais and by stricter contvel and supervision of the officials. The only real complaint the Amer- fean athletes had during thet rack and field games at Colombes resulted from poor judgment on the part of several officials. The American coaches were aroused to indignation by some flagrant inefficiency on the part of a few offigials, but they didn't go far enough to _ protest, knowing, perhaps, that it’ would avail little and probably do damage. The United States was deprived of a victory in the cross-country run by the act of an official of the gate who was gullty of losing his head if he did not deliberately intend to help the Finn team. ‘This official wag stationed at the gate to direct the runners as they came into the stadium for the last lap of the race, The Finns and the Americans were depending on their fourth men, who were running almost together. The Finn entered first, and although the course had been explained and marked earefully, he started to run around the track in the wrong di- rection. The official ran after him, pulled him back and started him around jn the right direetion, He finished and gave Finland the vic- tory. The official had no right to handle that runner or any other runner and, although it was a foul, there was no protest made, Another pecullar ineident hap- pened at ¢he gate in the same race, and it was evidence of the careless manner In which officials were se- leoted, One man was put on post at the gate with a large flag to direct the runners around the course, He was waving the flag with such ambition that he cracked an Italian runner over the head with the flag- stick and knocked him down, The Italians were ready to take up arms as they had complained during the fencing matches that they were getting a very raw deal. The starting of the sprint races was the worst that has ever been seen, <A county fair starter could DEFECTS SHOW UP INOLYWPIC SYSTEM " than any pf the runners, and one of the American boys said, after the first day, he heped he wouldn't be shot in the back. In nearly every heat of the trials, the eliminations and the sem!-finals there were six or seven falso starts, and only ence the starter saw fit to warn a sprinter who broke six times before wetting away. By actual timing it took him 22 minutes to get five sprinters away in one of the heats. It was rather unusual, under the previous cireumstances, and it caused some comment, too, that only time he succeeded in getting the field under way without a false start was in the finals of the hundred metres, and they got off so quickly with Abrahams a jump ahead that the Americans were almost left. Although Abrahams was runting like a real champion that day, he needed a perfect start. He didn’t have more than a foot on Scholz at the finish, and {f tho race had been another five yards he would have been third or fourth, as the Ameri- can pack was flying at his elbows. The most glaring plece of inefft clency, or something worse, was pulled by a judge in the hurdles. ‘This same judge, who had been ac- eused openly of anti-American feel- ing in Antwerp, ordered Brookins, one of the star. American hurdlers, have done better than the Unglish- man who held the gun in the 100 and 200-metre, races and the 400-metre relay race. It was never even suggested that he had any desire to worry the Americans, tut he was horribly {n- efficient. He was more neryous disqualified for trailing his foot in the next Jane on one of the hurdles. This judge wag at the finish line and the alleged foyl was committed on the first turn, far on the other side of the field, Brookins pro- tested and claimed that if he had trailed at the indicated spot he would have knocked down the other hurdle, as at the particular spot the hurdles were in a line. The officials were right in front of the press:box and on the same angle of vision. It was almost im- possible to see the hurdle with glasses from the press box and if that official saw Brookins foul, it was one @f the most tmazing feats of optical perfection on record. The officials themselves com- plained about the Jack of support they were given by the committee In charge: There were sevral funny ececuranes during th walking event. ‘Two of the judges wanted to disqual- ify Frigero, the Italian, during the first heat, They claimed he was running on the back-streteh, But {hey were overruled by other judges, and it was said it would be poor Politics to disqualify the world’s champion walker and would cause trouble “With Italy, An Austrian walker was disqualified, however. and thé decision was overruled by the committee, The judges all re algned then, and the committee had to get a new set of officials for the second heat and the final 72 joe DL Seated Babe Ruth made the first home run of his major league career on May 6, 1915, white a member of tho Boston Red Sox, The homer was scored In a game between the Sox and the New York Yankees. DETROIT KEEPS FANS GUESSING By JOH B. FOSTER. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK Aug. 23.—Any eritic, manager or ball player who can get-a line on what the Detroit Americans ave likely to do is en: Uitled to the blue ribbon as the shrewdest judge and analyst ofbase- ball conditions in the world. It's the teusingest club that Ty Cebb ever handled, or that any hard working purve: of dope undertook to do anything with the American league grew up. On the second trip of the season in the east, Detroit cleaned up, They lost only three games and went back home in a better position to win the pennant than any team has been since the Yanks got the championship habit. And then what happened? ‘The ‘Tigers went home and took three out of four from Boston, divided four games with New York, divided four with Phila- delphia—and lost three out of four to Washington. ‘That wag exactly n even breals on the home grounds, That kind of baseball does not win championships, even when cham: pionships are to be had for .660 in the percentage column. Detroit then came east again. Stopping first at Philadelphia, they won two and lost two, Then they moved on to Washington and lost four out of five, That made Wash ington's geore against Detroit 7 to 2 for the two series. Who was it said Washington could not win the pen- nant betause it was inferior to De- troit?) On the season, the Washing: ton-Detrolt score of games is 13 to 6, Of course, this is all ple for New York, which can think of nothing nicer than to haye Washington whale Detroit off the map. It makes the fight that much easier for the Yanks, They have one club to thrash instead of two, ANDERSON IS BOUT WINNER CHICAGO, Aug, 23.—Fiddle Ander. son, featherweight from Casper, Wyo., defeated Ernie Gooseman of Milwaukee in an elght-round bout at Aurora, Ill, last night, On the same card Tiger Johnny Cline of St. Louis won from Joey O'Hara of Fort Dodge, Ia., in eight rounds at 154 pound: Orange guiture is an interesting and suecesful venture of the last few years in South Afri Some of the orcharda that have heen planted there are among thé lurgest in the world.

Zack Wheat, Brooklyn veteran, js third with 266. The averages include games ‘of Wednes- day. Cuyler's chance came by accident when Max Carey, the Pittsburgh veteran, was injured. When Carey returned to the game, Manager Mc: Kechnie of the Pirates found Guy: ler's Beryices indispensable, Jack Fournier of the Dodgers, leading home run hitter of the league, is bagking in the total of 26.

Ty Cobb, pilot of the Tigers; Tris Speaker, leader of the Cleveland Indigns, and Harry Heilmann, Detroit slugger, have worked themselyes up among the leading ten.
