By FAIR PLAY (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 380.—Johnny Dundee refuses to talk about his retirement. Some say that it re- lates only to the featherweight di- vision, Others say that Johnny will not fight more than once or twice, if that, in any division. He is so the gossip goes, victim of some physical trouble which will make it extremely dangerous for him to go on with his ring career. But, resting in the beautiful Seclusion of his St. Cloud mansion on the top of the Orange mountains, he is always glad to talk fight. His opinion on the Walker-Leon- ard fight is of interest, since he has fought Leonard a lot of times and has seen Walker develop from a mere kid. He thinks that Leonard is up agaist the battle of his life and un- less he is in the best of condition and can stand a lot of roughing, he fs llkely to lose. In fact, Dundee picks Walker to win. Most of the ring men with whom the writer has talked like Walker's chances. Lew Tendler gives the fight to Mickey, Spalla does and so does Dundee. But knowing Leonard’s abillty, not only as a fighter but as a shrewd picker of bouts, the writer is not going to lay down any odds on the welter king, no matter who says he ought to win, One thing looks to be true: Being the welter champion and with everything to iose by losing the battle, Walker may be expected to sive the best he has got.

Invasion of Golf Field ° By Young Players Robs Veterans of Many Cups By FAIR PLAY (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—Young golfers are becoming proficient in such numbers all over the United States that the old fellow and the middle aged fellows, who thought they had found a game in ‘which they would have a monopoly of the honors as well as of the courses over which they played, are, from being astonished, becoming con- cerned. They are beginning. to wonder whether they may not be crowded out of the one sport that they had adopted as their own. Perhaps the loss of cups and things of that sort doesn’t bother them much. Most of them are too old to worry about the silver ware that is offered for golf. But their pride is being shaken and some of it already has been shat- tered. The other day once a national of reputation a self matched again: who was born ten years after Doug: lag “had won a championship. It took all the veteran.had to subdue that boy.

In the father and son tourna- ments, there are sons who are car- rying the'r dads on their junion golf backs. Possibly that is a fit rever- sal of form, but it is not a bit wel- come to the father, and it hurts his parental dignity. Time was wien father junior around the house in his arms took the Maranville, that former joy of the scrappy fan, says that the game of baseball is becoming too gentle and that there is no longer enough fight in it. This brings up the old ques- tion once more of whether all the life ts being legislated out of tom- petitive sports. Baseball, by edict of those who control the clubs, can be made a rame in which no decision of the umpire ever is questioned, in which there ts no recrimination by players and in which there are no attempts to block men off bases or anything of that scrappy character. One fancies that the joy of the fan would be very much reduced were the sport to take on that character and that thére would be a marked fal. to quiet his rampant “tummy.” But he didn’t raise him to go out and raise Helengwan with his golf game. When the son is able to down at the dinner table and in, presence of all the family offer to give dad three or four bisques in the next Morning's match over the home club course, father has a sinking sensa- tion at his heart as if he had lost all—except possibly a monopoly on the check book. Sometimes he's afraid that junior will get hold of that much as he has got him geing in his golf. Five years from now there will be so many high class eighteen year old players that they may insist on having a championship of thelr own consolingly telling the old fellows to go where it is easy. ——- RECORD FOR 100 SMASHED BY LECONEY ALLENTON, Pa. Aug 30—(United Press.)—Al Leconey, Olympic run- ner and former Lehigh athlete, was credited with covering the 100 yard dash in 9 2-5 seconds in the Knights of Columbus track meet at Muehlen- berg college here this - afternoon. The timo, if aJlowed, would be a new world’s record. Leconey defeated Charles Pad dock, Los Angeles, former holder of the 100 yard dash record at 9 3-5 Re de and Loren Murchison of Newark. Paddock finished second. Dr. J. K. Schell, official timer, eaid the record may not the wind was w Helen Willis In California State Tourney BERKELEY, Calif., Aug. 30. (United Press.)—In the first match she has played since returning from her triumphant tour, Miss Helen Wills, national and Olymple wom- en's Minis champion, won her way through the first round of the Call- fornia state tennis championship tournament today. Mise Wills easily disposed of Mrs. Ruth Patrick Basham, fourth rank- ing woman player of the cost 6-1, LIFE MUST BE KEPT IN ALL SPORTS CAHP fr WASTER CAMP rT Ung off in receipts. The same thing would be true of football if all the real scrap were taken out of it. The writer recalls, as it-is, how Frederick Remington, the artist, once seized upon him in New York at the time the football rules were being modified and de. manded beseechingly: “You are not going to civilize this game, are you?" And he meant it, for “Remy” was @ great football player In his time and he loved the game and all the hard personal encounter that went with it, Sports should be “civilzed"—but only to a certain point. A happy medium is the end to be sought, a status where rowdyism is controlled, but a status in which there is left at least an appearance of desperate earnestness among the players. —_ TRAFFIC TRICKS. ‘When cars have stopped at a crossing ahead coast along and take it easy. Sometimes you reach the crossing- just in time to start off with them, thus saving your brakes, your gears and your « Incident- ® your temper for more important use. When it appears that the car cannot be brought to a stop in time to avoid hitting the back of a car ahead do not try to turn off to the right or the left if there ts other traffic around you. By running straight into the vehicle ahead the bumper has an opportunity to pro- tect your car and you do not run the risk of involving other cars in the collision, i ——_—___ FOR SAFETY’S SAKE In the rush of modern traffio {t is frequently as essential to be able to get out of the way in a hurry as to stop quickly. Many drivers place themselves in dangerous positions because they imagine that a stalling engine re quires an immediate consultation over the why and the wherefore, re- gardless of where the car happens to be when the engine gives a last gasp ‘he moment the engine stalls, try, {f possible, to coast over to a posi- tion ct the curb If the car has no momentum at the time the engine stalls then place the gears in “low” and use the starter motor to pull the machine out of danger. It is well to be thinking about this suggestion when you are crossing rallway tracks. Tribune Wantads bring results.
