HOLDS LESOON OF THE YEAR J By WALTER CAMP. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Before we forget the tennis lessons of the season, let us give credit to the Kinsey brothers for sticking to their guns and lobbing to Patterson and ‘Wood in their Uoubles match, despite all the dire predictiotis of their friends that such a course would be suicide. And this is the lesson: A man like Patterson or anybody else as accomplished as the Austra- lian may kill one of them and an- other id another, but when men as skillful as the Kins ing lob after lob, the opponent head is in the air so much that he may’ at any moment lose his bear: ings and smash into the net or oyt of the court. It becomes a prob- lem of repeatedly orienting one's self while looking at the stars. And that is the way it worked out for the Kinseys. One golf writer, speaking about the follow through, says “The club head is traveling at a terrific rat of speed at the moment of impact and as the ball must first flatten out on the club and then rebound, it is very naturally suposed that the ball can not get away as quickly as if it was a hard substance you ; hitting. . The fast traveling club would at least be held to the ball then for six inches, but many theorists say ‘t stays for a foot.” This is another of the theories that are exploded by a properly ar- ranged shutter and picture. The ball gets away much more quickly than many persons imagine. The writer has photographs which will show the club head, so far as the’ eye can judge, still at the point of impact over the tee, while the ball itself, a long white streak, has tten away many inches in its ight. ji a SPORT BRIEFS FOREST HILLS—William Tilden, of Philadelphia, wins the national tennis singles championship for the fifth straight year, ‘WASHINGTON—Indlcations were that despite department of Iabor’s charges against Luis Firpo his match with Wills would be staged on schedule.

American association team, who hammered out forty-five circuit telps in the season of 1895. This record held good until Sept. 4, 1920, when Ruth soored his forty-fifth and forty-sixth homers of the season in @ game at Boston. In 1897 Kid McCoy, whose name is figuring prominently in the public prints just at present, was recog- nized by some boxing authorities as the middleweight champion. But “Jeiiladelphia Jack" O'Brien and sev- ‘al other middleweights also claimed the championsh!p and the title re- mained in dispute until Stanley Ket- chell made good his claims to the crown, One hundred years ago—in 1824— so keen was the public interest in St. Leger, which next to the nd National ts the favorite race with the people of the North of Eng- land, that the then unprecedented method was adopted of sending the result to London by carrier pigeons, and to Manchester by dogs specially trained Cor the, purpose.

(Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—In a talk with the writer today, | Mickey Walker pronounced as bunk the stories that he will abandon the Welterweight class; if -he defeats Benny Leonard, and go after the middleweight crown. “I weigh only about 155 pounds right now,” said Mickey, “and that is before I have done any training for the bout with Leonard. Of course, I am playing baseball, tennis and swimmirg a lot, but that is the sort of life I always lead. What I want to point out is that I have hot really done any training as if for a bout, “Next week, I'll get. busy in that respect and will have no trouble at all in getting down to the class Umit.

Leonard may—and then again he may not. That the lightweight champion recognizes the sort of contract he has undertaken is best indicated) by the fact that he {s already up in the Catskills hard at work in prepa- recion for the coming fight.

FARRELL, inited Press Sports Editor) W YORK, Sept. 3 (United Press).—Polg to horse loyers is the most fascinating game played. To ordinary sportsmen who like plenty of action and assorted thrills it is the fastest, Hockey is perhaps the only game that can match polo for speed, sustained action and skill of stroke, but in handling a mount, the polo player must have more skill than the hockey player who can control his movements by instinct. With the exception of the many technical rules on fouls, polo és a simp'e game to watch and follow. It has many regulations covering the method of riding, appronching and handling the ball that the ordinary spectator does not understand, but In th’s respect it ff not nearly so complicated as coilege football. In many _respscts football, both soccer ‘and the college game, are closely relate’ in principle to polo. The idea in soccer is to get the ball across the goal line between the goal posts, and the same holds in polo. Po’ rules stipulate that the game should be played on a fiéld not long- er. than, 390 yards and not wider tnan 200 yards: when there are’ no sideboards. When the field has s'de- boa it should be nq longer than 300 yards and not wider . an 160 yards. The goal posts should be no fur- there apart that 250 yards and must be 10 feet high, @ight yards wide and built of material that will give way before weight. The regulation ball ts 3% Inches in diameter and 5% ounces in weight. ‘There can be no more than four players on a side, and they haye to wear protected hats or helmets. When they become d'smounted they must mount and continue play. un- less, in the opinion of the referee, they "have been injured. The match is in charge of an um- Dire, where the captains of the team agree on one official, or in charge Wants to nominate a choice. In the ease of two umpires a referee is ap- pointed to cast the deciding vote when the umpires do not agree, A score-keeper and a. time-keeper are also named as officials. The match is d{vided into eight periods (or chukkers) of seven and ome-half minutes each, making 2 total playing time of one hour. Be- tween periods a three-minute rest is allowed. Time ts never called out a player to change At the end of a period a bell rung, but the players con- tinue until the ‘ball is put out of Play. In the event that the score is tied at the end of the eighth period, the game continues with periods of seven and’ one-half minutes and rest periods until ao goal has been scored. In the event that darkness, weather, or any other reason stops a match, play fs resumed at the earliest. convenience. Goals count as one point, and ‘they are scored by knocking the ball over the line between the goal posts and also as a penalty for the com- mission of a personal foul. In case the ball passes across the line high- er than the goal posts, it can be awardet, as in the case of a drop- kick or field goal {in football, if, in the opinion of the umpire, the ball Passed between posts. To start the game the players line up on their own sides of the center line and the umpire throws the ball into the center ground between *the two lines of players. After a goal is scored the players Nno up again in the same position and the referee puts the ball back in play in the same manner. Players are not permitted to seize with the hand, strike or push the head, arm or elbow, but a player may push with his arm, above the elbow, provided the elbow bo kept close to Ifis side. A player may ride out an antag- oniat or interpose his pony before his antagonist, so as to prevent the latter from reaching the ball, but he may not cross another player in possession of the ball, except at such a distance that the said player shall not be compelled to check his pony to avoid a collision If two players are ding from different directions to hit the ball and a dangerous collision appears probable, then the player in posse: sion of the ball must be given way to. No player is allowed to carry the ball or strike it whem he ‘is d's- mounted. In the event that the ball lodges on his person or on hts Pony it must be dropped to the ground immediately, Maryland.

The ruling and the judgment of the official {n this case is much similar to basket bal There are any number of tec! wical fouls for crossing in an Illegal manner, for hitting from the wrong sida of the pony, etc, The penalty for these offenses is a free hit for the other side from the point where the foul was committed. HORNSBY TOPS BABE RUTHIN WIELDING BAT CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—(By The As- sociated Pregs)}—When President Heydiler, of the National League pro- claimed that. In his judgement toxérs Hornsby was a greater bats- man than “Babe” Ruth, the ad- murers of the. hambino,~ after ua search through the records, discover- ed to thelr amazement that Heydler Was exactly right. The figures bear out his assertion, Ruth's admirers after reading Heydler's words of praise in behalf of the great St. Louls second base- man, no doubt thought the National League president favored Hornsby slightly. |The figures revealed today showed that for the last four years Hornsby had a grand average of $88 as Compared with .366 for the American League star. The figures show that since join: ing the Yankees in 1920, Ruth has socked out 281 home runs, Includ- ng those of this season, while Hons- by had connected with 112. The St. Louis star, however, captured the honors in total number of hits, and In doubles and triples. Hornsby the last fotir years, excluding this season, has garnered 866 hits while Ruth's best effort was 709. Standings P| NATIONAL Clubs. . New York .. Pittsburgh ..

MEN AGAINST Ne pest FOREIGNERS ENATORS NOW IN FINE FORM No Accident in Wins Being Piled Up by Washington. By JOHN B. FOSTER (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—The longer Washington continues in the race the better it Is able to make its per- centage—a fact which is well worth the attention of those who are insist: ing that Washington is purely an ac. efdent and holding ‘ts position in the fight because the remainder cf the lengue is weak. Washington dropped os low as 550 Percentage in the month of July, announced that a false alarm, its pitchers having blown, and that the real team the Yankees had to thrash was Detroit. Ruth was very sure that the Senators were greatly over- rated and that the pennant must be won by defeating Detroit and St. Louis. So far as Detrolt and St. Louls Were concerned, he was accurate enough, because they d!d have to be defeated if the Yanks were to win. But he was all out of the way in regard to Washington. Just recent- ly the Senators have been vacillat- ing around 570. In July, they were as good as 594, their nearest ap- proach to 600 in this superheated race of the American League. They did not hold the 594 pace but they are marching back to it again. If that demonstrates nothing better, it shows that the Washing- tons are not accidental, that they have recuperative power and that they will be a dangerous lot right down to the finish, if they do not meet with accident. Don't overlook the fact the Wash- ‘ngtons have won the year's series from New York, Detroit and Chicago as they stand right now. Three rather good teams to thrash in inter city duels. The Sox, of course, are tall-ending every now and then and they need a powerful lot of looking over for another year but even if they are disposed to hang around the cellar of the circult, they are not an easy team to defeat as baseball teams are traveling this year. The big achievement of the Wash- ingtons for the year has been their strength in putting New. York down. They have not got the Yanks clean- ed up by a long shot, but they have dealt them a blow that will not be forgotten in New York for many a day because there has been a tre mendous lot of desire to win the fourth successive championship in the big city by Colonel Ruppert, on accoupt of the probability that it wil) go to the Giants in the National League. The Glants are not winners yet and they can be defeated, but Pitts. burgh {s so fickle that the hard. bailed analysts of baseball insist they will “blow” if it comes toean actual matter of two or three games that will win the pennant for them, $$$ Call the Tribune before you start on that trip.
