World Results By Leased Wire WINS BRILLIANT FINAL MATCH IN CITY TOURNEY Littlefield Beaten 2 Up With Big Gallery Fol- lowing Players Around Al Seanor, Community club star who learned his golf under the tutelage of “Chick” Evans,. yesterday won the City Golf tourna- ment and the Tribune loving cup emblematic of the championship when he defeated Glenn Littlefield, two up in an epic 36-hole match. A crowd of close to 100 followed the two players as they battled their way around the Community club course under a broiling hot August sun. The match was about the most beautiful exhibition of golf that has ever been seen in Casper. At the end of 27 holes they were even up during which time both men had been one up, but never more, several times. The closeness of the score did not seem to affect either play- er's neryes and’ their shots the last nine holes were up to thelr average for the first 27. It was a case of who would crack first, The break came on the 30th hole when Seanor made a par four. while Littlefield was taking a five. That made the Community club play- er two up and from that point on he played with a confidence that could not be Shaken, He took the short fourth in one under par, making him three up and the match looked over. Littlefield, however, came back on the next with a brilliant birdie three, reducing Seanor's lead to two up, but Seanor won the next giving him back his lead of three up. Little- fiel@ won the 34th with a par four but had to halve the 35th when he missed a Jong and difficult putt. That gave the match to Seanor and the crowd gave him a great hand. A comparison of the two players 1s almost impossible. they both handle all the clubs in their bag with ac- curacy and on rare occasions were they in the rough. Of.the two Seanor seemed the least disturbed by the spectators. He shot as though he were playing practice rounds and dropped the ball with deadly accur- acy on his approaches. Never before in Casper has 80 much interest been evidenced In a match and the enthusiasm promises much for the future of the game here. Even when Seanor and Little- field were finished a number of spec- tators hastened around to catch up with Roy Wyland and Dan Griffin on their second round final. Wyland won the second handily, 4and3. His steady consistent shoot- ing was responsible for the victory and with it went the handsome golf bag donated for the flight. Gus Steile won the Tenderfoot flight, 3 and 2 from George Strick- land, the prize being a silk sweater. Littlefield, Griffin and Strickland, the three runers-up will receive medals suitably inscribed.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.—Gene Tun- ney and Tommy Gibbons will have to hurry if they hope to box in the night air this year. ‘The talk is that the two may meet hereabouts the first week in October, But since October nights are likely to be very chilly any promoter who guarantees such a bout is lable to run up against a loss. af It does not look as though an in- door bout would be feasible because more fans would want to see this fight than could be accommodated within doors.

Since the boxing commissioners want the Walker- Leonard embroglio over and done with, influence may be used—h been used, it is said—to cause the minor clubs to rearrange their cal- endar.

BY HENRY L. FARRELL ited Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Aug. 25—America’s success in the Olympic games was due not only to the possession of a large number of superior athletes, but also to the care and fine treat- ment given the athletes by the nian- agers and trainers of the team. Charles Dean and George Brown, the two managers of the team, were on the job constantly, and their concern for the comfort and welfart of the team was in striking contrast to the actions of the management cf the 1920 team, who acted on the as- Sumption that the team was not composed of school boys, and that they could. take care of themselves. During the games the managers and coaches of the team were not well acquainted enough with the head waiters of the Montmarte cab- arets and other brightight places in Paris to call them by their names and get choice of tables. They were at Rocquencourt and the Col- ombes village with the athletes. They also had a team of men, but they know that the job of getting ready and competing in the games Was enough to occupy the attention of the men without bothering them with the task of finding something to eat and some place to sleep, as the athletes had to do in Antwerp. The coaching and training of Lawson Robertson, Walter Christie, Alonzo Stags, Eddie Farrell, Bill Haywood, Johnny Magee, Tom Keane and Jake Weber was splendid, and the results of their attention, care and hard work was plainly a) ‘ent. There were no star att s hurt or, ruined in training he the games, as there w in Antwerp. With the exception of 1 few bad breaks in actual com lition the coaches were uble to get] about 100 per cent Strength out of the team. While the team was most sdmir- ably handled there were brought out a few defects in the manage- ment, which probably will be cor- rrected when the arrangements are being made in 1928 for the trip to made—and it was not made in the Amsterdam. ‘The only “complaint the Athletes bitter spirit that almost caused a rebellion in Antwerp—was that the camp was too far awdy from the Colombes stadium. © place could have been picked as a more ideal place to lve than the Murat chat- u at Roequencourt, and its lone 1 feature was not the result, of poor judgment on the part of the American committee, but came 4s a result of the failure of the trans- portation to live up to the promised speed. The Rocquencourt villa was locat- | they bes stadium, and it was natural, perhaps, that Americans should figure that the trip would not con- sume more than 30 minutes over good roads. But the drivers of the busses operated on a schedule that was regularly about an hour and sometimes more, It was mentioned previously that many times the athletes who com- peted in the late events on the pro- gram did not arrive at their camp until the kitchen had closed. This was not the fault of the committee, however. No American had thought of the possibility of having the games started at 3 o'clock and fin- ishing as late as 9. It had been planned to house the athletes scheduled in early events overnight at the Colombes village, but the accommodations were s0 poor that another carefully-made plan had to be abandoned through no fault of the committee. The bouncing and jostling in a Gus over 12 miles did not help the athletes and the irregularity of meals was also a handicap, but the athletes knew that the French com- inittee was to blame, primarily, and they didn’t grumble. The American committee, in the past, has had bigger problems to face than the managers of Euro- pean teams, and the same problems will have to be faced in the future. It is reasonable to believe that in such good hands as the team was this year that these bigger prob- lems will be met. . The Finns had an ideal camp, They were situated in a quiet vil- lage, near Colombes, within easy uceess of the stadium. Tho Amer- cans might have had, and would a place just as good, if nly had the care of 70 ath- letes. But when there are more than 300 men and girls to take core of, the task is a tremendous job. There was not a spot closer than Rocquencourt where the American committee could find space to house and feed such a small army of ath. letes. Another slight defect in the man- agement can be corrected in the future. There should be some way of separating athletes who have fin- ished competition and those who are still in training, The committee should keep the various units of the team together. Tho boxers and swimmers should not be housed near the track athletes. It ix only natural that a young athlete who has been training for months should seek a little enter- talnment after he has finished h competition. He should be allowe to keep the lights on after hours and sing and dance if he wants to. But he should not do his celebrating ed about 12 miles from the Colom- ~~ BASEBALL QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball— If you want a rule interpreted— If you want te ‘now anything about a play or a player— Write to John B.

These ure all only minor griev- ances, however, and they can be corrected. Under the circumstances the American committee could not have dono a better job.
