TODAY'S FISA! 7 Championship _ flight — Glenn Littlefield vs. Al Seanot Casper flight—Dan Griffin vs. Roy Wyland. Tenderfoot flicht—Gus Steile vs. George Strickland. Playing perfect golf, Glenn C. Littlefield, winner of the city championship last year, romped through the 1924 semi-finals yesterday afternoon and bids fair to again have his name inscribed on the loving cup donated by the Cas- per Tribune for the City Golf cham- pionship tourney. He will meet — Seahor today in a 36-hole final match that will decide whether the cup. goes to the Country club or the Community club. Littlefield is the star player of the Country club and Seanor holds sway over the Com- mupity course. Don Gallagher, who played Little field in the semi-finals yesterday, 1s f good golfer but he was up against a Machine (that could not be dis- turbed, Some iden of how Littlefield wag playing may be gained by the fact that he p'ayed the first nine holes in one under par and the last nine in two under par, a 73 for the 18 holes. The highest score Little eld made on the last nine was a ie par on the ninth. His driving was length!y, his irons accurate and hig=putting perfect. If he maintains the? sam: pace this afternoon he should again win the championship. White the Littlefield-Gallagher match was in progress Seanor put C.K. Storrs, former Yale crew and football star, out of the running 3 and 2. The Community club satillite has been more or less of a mystery all through the tournament. He has his matches by the narrowest wor margins and his supporters claim that the has been taking it easy ng for the final today to show: his real strength.

Neither Jones nor Swevtser has heon playing as much as Guilford and there were many who leaned to the idea that the selge gun had the best chance to win at Merion—unti: Walter Hagen, in that private match played in Massachusetts, proved that furd was not unbeatable. Jones has, by all the odds, the most consistent record of play. That record is convincing and has been pub'ished so often that the golfers are familiar with the fact that no one has haf anything Ike the con- tent steady scoring rounds that bby has put up in the stress of competition. Sweetser ig regarded as the more brilliant match player and seems gifted with an uncanny ability when his opponent is going well, to play better—and, when his opponegt is going exceptionally well, to play mi- lous golf. So it lines up with these three men, Jones, the steadiest and most stent, Guilford, the longest and Sv serous match player. And another point is that no one men has a real'y admitted rally, the big “swip- ak on the short game or in putting, but Guilford has been showing phenomenal skill in these departments this season. The brill- fant match player, in this ‘case Sweetrer, is too likely to be marvei- ous one day and the next day med- focre golf. The steady, consistent scorer, Jones, has ~ sometimes ~be- trayed evidence of lacking the abil- ity to rise to unusual, helghts when torced, nonetheless he showed in the open a year ago exceptional abil- ity to save the stroke when needed. TENNIs PLAY SENOATIONAL Doubles _ Matches Brookline Hold BROOKLINE, Mass., Aug. 23.— (United Press. —Two American duobles tennis titles were won Longwood Cricket club here this afternoon by sensational rallies which snatched victory right of the jaw of defeat. Miss Helen Wills, the Olymple and national singles and doubles champion and her pattner, Vincen Richards, the young: Olympic cham- pienship, were the principals of, an afternoon of spectacular and excit- ing tennis in which courage was exemplified to the maximum. The 18-year-old California girl and her young partner -had lost the opening set to William T. Tilden ani Mrs. Molla Mallory, the 1923 champions and they were down four-three in the second set of the final match for the. mixed doubles championship when the youngsters game io Hfe, ‘They ‘fought lke demons and won the mateh and the yplonship, ut 6-8, 7-5,and 6-0, In desperate straits, the young pair found themselyes. when the big gallery had given up all hope for them. And when they did find them: selves, they went tennis mad and crashed through thé third set at 6-0 In’ one of the gredtest rallies ever seen. Robert California upon the out and Howard Kinsey, the brothers, were called to give a fine: demonstration of coming from behind in their final} match for the the son men’s doubles against Australian stars, Gerald Patter- und Pat O'Hara Wood. The Californians won the first set after a fight to Deuce ard then dropped the second and’ third sets after carrying them to Deuces. They rallied then after the rest period and won the match and the title at 3 and 6-4. The 8, counting upon civing the Americans @ terrific fight in the doubles match if they get through to the Davis cup challenge round next month, were handi- capped by soft footing which made their smashing style of attack. in- effective. The Kinseys refused to play the Australian game and lobbed thelr opponents to defeat. rhe impreesive victory of the Califorr ans, after an early season of erratic form, may win for them an intment to the two vacant places on America’s Davis cup de- fending team, The Davis cup selection commit tee of the United States Lawn Tennis association, looked on dur- ng the tournament for the purpose of picking the best American team entered, and by winning the cham Honehip the Californians appar qualified for the appointment, me TRIBUNE'S PAGE ¢ OF SPORTING NE WS" Toe E_GOur TITLE PLay TENVETEMNSTOREPORTFOR at} Tbe Tacner Suntan A riftiuse TENSE WILL OEE BIG BOUTS Champion’ Leaving for New York to Sit in At Ringside. By FAIR PLAY. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—Jack Dempsey will leave the coast Mon- day to witness the Walker-Leonard and Wills-Firpo battle. Gene Tun- ney will meet Harry Greb over tho 10-round route in Cleveland on Sep- tember 8. Wall Street betting favors Firpo to beat Wills at odds of 11 to 10. As for Dempsey, while he can not fight, there 1s nothing in his movie contract to prevent his seeing a fight. Greb will probably slap Tunney as vigorously as he always has done— he gave Tiger Flowers a nice lacing on Thursday night in Ohio and so far as Wall Street betting is con- cerned, it has not significance at all, This sums up the latest news from the boxing front. In considering Johnny Dundee's re- urement from the featherweight throne, no one has paused to con- sider what the title was worth to him. Not much. There was not enough money in defending the crown against any of the poor crop of defenders in sight to make it worth the Scotch Wop's while to go to the trouble and expense of training. With Dundee “retired”, some new feather of class may arise out of the contest for the throne that Johnny has abandoned. Whereupon Dundee, if the new champion looks, good enough, can emerge from his “ tirement” and challenge for the ttle, drawing thousands of pop-eyed fans to the ringside at monstrous Prices. Fans ought to realize that, prize fighting is no longer a sport. It is a business and the lad with the shrewd brain is the boy that makes the turnstiles click. Laddy Kussy, the Newark promot- er, sends word that he expects to have Charley Weinert and Battling Siki meet in the near future, Siki has lost all the prestige he got through beating Carpentier. He has amassed an amazingly large sum of money in touring the country. And he is no one's fool. When he stands upon the back of a railroad train and scatters bills to the crowd, you can bet they are ‘one dollar bills and you can bet also that the money thus laid out is money well spent for advertising. So it is when he climbs a tele- graph pole and makes faces at the cops or springs into a tree in a pub- lc park, swinging from branch branch like a monkey. The sable battler may act like a nut, but he ig one of those nuts, just the same, that grow on a fox tree.

(United Press-Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Aug. 23:—Eighty- two of the best tennis players in the world are to start competition for the world’s championship at Forrest Hills Monda: the opefiing matches of the Ame n singles champion- ship. S This tournament is unusual not only because of the number and the clas¥ of the entries, but for the rea- son it is the first time any tourna- ment can be regarded as having the world’s champlonship as the reward for the winner. No title’ as world’s champion can be awarded because of the ruling of the internationa] tennis. federation against the recognition of a world’s title. Unofficially, however, the title is clear. Among the entries are every great player in the world and there are three recognized _ terri- torial champions—William T. Tilden, the American chafnpion, Vincent Richards, the Olympic champion, and Jean Borotra, the Wimbledon cham- pion. Sixty-two Americanc are entered as well! as 20 foreign players from Australia, France, Japan, Canada, China, Mexico and Spain. Most of the foreign players are members of Davis cup challenging teams and represent the height of national class. ‘The entrie ‘are more international than they were at the Olympic games where there were no Can- ans, Chinese, Mexican or Aus- ralian entries. Tilden will lead forces on the court, entered with him are Billy Johnston Dick Williams, Vinnie Richards, nk Hunter, the Kinsey Brothers nd practically every ranking play- er in the country. Australia has a most formidable group in Gerald Patterson, former Wimbledon champion; Norman Brookes, one of the greatest of all the American and other stars Pat O'Hara Wood, R. E. nger and F. B. Kalms. France has an able representa- tion in Borotra, Rene Lacoste, Jac- ques Brugnon and Alain Gerbault, who recently sailed across the At- lantic in a “rowboat.” Japan hope® to pull a surprise with Zenzo Shimidzu, Masanosuke Fuk- uda, Takelicha Harida and Somao Okmoto.

Four Divisions to With ten of the old men back for football this year and with three coaches who will developing an aggregation that should be formid Casper’s prospects for winning the state championsk spend the time necessary in ip look better than any time yet. Not for nothing has Dean athletic instructor, been taking worl under Couch Knute Rockne of Notre Dame this summer and Morgan ex- Pects to open up some new tactics taught by the greatyRockne. If he succeeds in getting his players lined up with these he should be able to spring some surprises in Wyoming football and if he doesn’t he still has a stronger hand to fall back on than at any time in the history of the local school for he has two assistants who know football and he has more than the usua] number of old string men back for play as well as the complete second team. George Christopher who has been employed on the coaching staff of the high school since last winter and Ted Madden, a star for the Univer- sity of Wyoming, are the two men who will. assist Morgan. Both Christopher and Madden know the game thoroughly and Madden is a much better player than he ever had a chance to show during the ma- jority of Wyoming's games played under the spell of the jinx. The mén who will be back in the lineup this year are Kassis, tackle; Shikany, center; Thompson, guard; Van Doran, guard; Bell, Brittain,and Allsman, ends; McKelvey and Hales, halfbacks, and Gorrell, full back. There will be no dispute over this year's championship in interschol- astic circles of Wyoming. Instead of following haphazard schedules, high school elevens will first meet teams in their ‘own division, reserx; ing their last two dates of the sea- son for inter-division games should they succeed in landing at the top of their respective division. Casper is located in the central division, the others being the sotithern, Basin region and the Sheridan district. The Casper schedule will be available within a short time it is believed. Two changes have been made in the playing rules this year. The kickoff from the center of the field will be made without the tee this season, which means that the safety man will hold the ball for the kickoff. ¥ollowing a touchdown the bal! will be brought out three yards instead of five for a play for point. ———— Yesterday’s Scores AMERICAN LEAGUE Washington, 2.

FOSTER (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—Three vio tories over the Pittsburgh~ Pirates and one over Chicago -have given Brooklyn an outside chance to win the National League ‘pennant. It's quite a way outside, but it fs there just the same, make no. mistake about it. But Brooklyn can't afford to lose more than 13. more games if she hopes to win out. Brooklyn has been snorting'around very noisily on this western trip. They cleaned up five out of six,in Cincinnati and now they are; ont after Chicago and St. Louis. If they can continue to go ahead in’ the as their rivals. If ninety games can win the cham- pionship in the National League'this make their 90, as they now ‘have 72 victories. Brooklyn has five more games.to play with the Giants and Pittsburgh has three. If between them, they could bumip the Giants for all eigtt they would make travel awfully hara on tho tender toctsies of the New York club. No matter what other teams might defeat New York /a clean-up of the total of eight left to play. on. the part of the contenders would cost the Giants 80 Points in precentage and that would leave/n large gap in the side of the New York pennant ship.

(Copyright, 1924, Caspor Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—Not:con- tent with winning the Poughkeepsie regatta and sending forth a tennis - star, Wallace Scott, to conquer the intercollegiate lawn -tennis world, athletic authorities of the University of Washington are looking forward to the coming football season. - They are hoping at Seattle to be the first’ to break California's wit- ning streak. The Huskies last won from the Bears in 1909 by a 7 to 0 score. Incidentally, th'w was the last defeat registered againgt the Berke- ley football system. In the statement that Washington ~ hopes to be the first to “break Call- fornia's winning streak,” {s more than appears on the surface. To bé explicit, Washington meets Call- fornia on Nosaguber 8 and Stanford plays the Berkeley eleven on No vember 22. Out in Seattle, they expect to see Stanford guided and inspired by Glenn Warner, defeat the Blue and Gold. But what is more important, they expect the Huskies to beat Stanford to the honor. ‘ Washington lost very few men last year from the team which Call: fornia was extended to beat, 9 to 0 at Berkley and which tied the Nav 14 to 14, at Pasadena on New Year’ day. In fa So far us regulars are concerned, practically the same team will take tho field next month which played against the Middies and t Bears. Enock W. Bagshaw, the coach, is aduate of Washington and’in the "8 he has been coaching at Ima mater has won 16 games, t two and tled two. t year the Huskies scored 301 points to opponents 60. It will thus be seen that Washington is not specializing in rowing alone; aaia matter of fact, in-the Pacific coast conference, the Seattle institution ts regarded as a‘ healthy competitor in many branches of major and minor sports. In 1923-24, the Huskies won over 76 per sent of all their contests, ty iv fu ny “ris ot cl ooRR t 1 t 7 RROrOm 7 - Sees
