(Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—Watching the Chilean heavyweight, Quintin Romeo Rojas, in his fight with Charlie Weinert at Newark more than three weeks ago, it. occurred to the writer that the time would soon be at hand when he would make trouble for a lot of good men. ‘Weinert beat Romero but he had to use all his cleverness to. turn the if trick and at that the margin was 60 close as to leave opinion divided at ‘|the end of the bout. The Chilean showed ability to withstand punish. ment and while he was awkward, he showed undoubted improvement in his ability to handle himself. He was just the sort of man to make trouble for a newcomer like Jack Sharkey, who had begun to make New Englanders .believe that at last they were about to produce @ successor to John L. Sullivan. Sharkey was being brought along very carefuly and recently in Bos- ton the writer had an opportunity to look him over. In point of promise, he lived up to all that had been said about him, but at the time the writer suggest- man for the former navy star to meet. It takes a man of ring ex- perience to handle tough mixer Uke Romero, a boxer who knows Just how to tle up a good man when he bulls {n and to,weave in and out while giving him @ good and proper lacing. Sharkey would have done much better against a better known boxer whd did not violate the rules of boxing. EB Sy LOS.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Sept, 4—(United Press)—With the exception of America’s (yachting) Cup, the inter- national challenge polo cup, which is put up for the American and British teams in the matches starting at Meadowbrook Saturday, is the oldest and most treasured international trophy, It is also, with the yaant- ‘ng cup, the most aristocratic and the trophy richest in tradition, While the first races for the yacht cup were held as far back as 1851, the real history of the polo cup did not start until 1886, when an English team from Hurlingham came to the United States and easily secured the cup, defeating the American team 2 to 0. American team at that time of Thorne, Belmont, Fox- hall Keene and Thomas Hitchcock, the father of young “Tomm: one of the stars on this year’s defending team. The victorian English team consisted of Hone, Lawley, Little an Watson, Am.~ica walted until 1900 to chal- lenge for the cup, and then sent over a tearm cons'sting of McCreary, Mackey, Keene and McCreary, and it lost 1—0 to the defeniting team, Peresford, Freake, Buchmaster and Watson, Again, in 1902, the United States tried to brivg the cup back, without success. The Waterbury brothers, Keefe and Cowdin went to Hurling- ham and lost 2—1, The defenders were the Nickalls brothers, Freake, Miller and Buckmaster. Between 1902 and 1909, a lot of wealthy sportsmen got behind the movement to serious undertaking and s0 much serious attention was given to the development of a team that it would have been considered a calamity if the invaders failed. In 1909 the “Big Four’ of America sailed for Hurlingham. The team was composed of the V bro- thers, Harry and Devereux Milburn, ‘This was tho first international match in which Mi burn, the world’s greatest player, competed, and he has been the out- standing star of every match since then. The Americans justified the confidence that had been bestowed on them by beating the British 2—0 ‘and brought the cup back with them, where it remained until 1914. The British challenged again in 1911 and sent ateam to Meadow- brook, consisting of Cheape, Edward, Lolyd and Wilson...They were de: feated 2—0 by the samo “Big Four" —the Waterburys, Whitney and Mil- burn, In 1913, the “Big Four,” assisted also by L. E. Stoddard, made good again, and they defeated the same British team 2—0, It was o hard fight for the Americans, and it caus- ed some concern about the future of the cup. The first match was won 8%—8, bit the second was a ter- rific fight, taken by the Americans at 48%. The cup went back to England in 1914, when the British team came | over and won by a score of 2—0. The ning run? A says Rariden was out man’s throw. B says Zimmerman was all at fault. Which is right? Answer.—Rariden was inside of the diamond out of position and Zimmerman could not have thrown the ball had he wished to do so. It is never good policy to chase a player toward home plate but Rariden was distinctly at fault for not guarding the plate. Question—Will you please tell me if Jack Regan ever played in the big leacues? Answer.—Don't know exactiy which Regan you mean but there has been a Regah in the big leagues. of place and could not take Zimmer- La Montague, the Waterbury bro- thers and Milburn, The winning British team was made up of Capt. Tommy Tomkinson, Capt. Cheape, Major Barrett and Capt. Lockett. The score of the first match was 8%—3, and the second was 4—2%. Competition for the cup was then stopped when the British officers had to leave the field and go to’the trenches. British polo had turned elmost exclusively into a military af- fair because of the encouragement given by the government to the game as a developer of cavalry skill. After the war, British polo had fallen almost away. All of the valu- able ponies had been ruined for the sport. The casualties among the polo ranks in the army had been terrific, and the British were in no position to defend the cup. Rather than take advantage of such unfortunate circumstances, the American polo officials refused to challenge for the cup until they were given the assurance by the British that they had recovered enough to defend the cup. This assurance was given in 1921. The British were good sports about it. They said they idn’t have a great team, but they refused to stay out of competition any longer and they were willing to do the best they could with what they had. The American challengers were then organized and sent to Hurlin ‘nam. The team consisted of Ll: E. Stoddard, Tommy Hitchcock, Jr., J. Watson Webb and Devereux Mil- burn. They beat the British team, consisting of Col. H. A. Tomkinson, Major Barrett, Lord Wodehouse and Major Lockett by a score of 2—0. Returning to England, the British Players said that much had to be done in the way of developing mounts and playes If the ‘cup was to be brought back to England and they, suggested that some time be allowed to improve their game. They waited until this year to challenge. The matches this year will be in- teresting because they were the “rubber set’ of the series. In eight of the international matches the two teams are squared with four vic- torles each. Standings . National League. Ww. Clubs— L. Pet.

TENNIS SEASON ONE OF BEST More Women Playing This Year Than Ever Before. By WALTER CAMP (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—Tho tennis season of 1924, now closing, has been in many respects, one of the great- est in history. Certainly there haa never been a greater year for tennis interest. The visit of Miss Helen Wills to Wimbledon, where she won not the championship but a hort of friends, and her frlumph at the Olympics, have set more girls and women play- ing tennis and playing it with a pur- pose than ever before. And the work of our men players has added incentive to the court, fol- lowers among boys and men, More room has been acquired for the de- velopment of municipal and public park tennis, the colleges and schools have added materially to thelr facill- ties arid equipment for the game. On the whole, the National Lawn Ten- nis Association can take credit for a deal of fine constructive work. of the play itself.

The base line game and its last extraordinary exponent, Rich- ards, was eclipsed by the volleying School with {ts Whitman and others Then came the fiery dash of Me- Loughlin. There followed a more rounded game, in which openings were made in base line play for properly timed dashes to the net. Strokipg of all kinds had improved and greater pace had been acquired. But the chop stroke and the lob had been classed by most of the ex- perts as occasional weapons of at- tack and defense, used as trick plays as in football, or as a means of ex- tricating on self from a bad posi- tion, The Kinseys this season show- ed the lob as @ rea] attack and Wal- lace Johnson demonstrated the chop stroke as a weapon that even rank- ing tennis players were not able to meet. What does it mean? Well, one should revi: his estimates of the strokes and it all goes to show there is still much to consider in the court game in the way of strategy. The defeat of Kinsey ky Tilden and the defeat of Johnson by Richards does not materially alter these conclus- fons. eo SHERIFF AND DEPUTY FIRED FIRST, CHARGE HERRIN, Ill, Sept. 4.—(By The Associated Press.)—Shertff George Galligan and his deputy, Ora Thomas, were charged with having fired the first shots in the encounter last Saturday between his force and @ group of Ku Klux Klansmen in the early testimony given here at the Inquest held into the deaths of the six men slain fn front of the Smith garage.
