By LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Michi- gan’s proud place in football has been recognized by her sister instl- tutions this fall. . The Wolverines will participate in no less than three stadium openings. Has any other collegiate eleven been honored more abundantly in this res- pect? October 11 the Yost crew will go to Lansing to help put the Michigan Aggies staduim inte commission. If scores of games in recent years are display in huge numerals at stra‘ tegic intervals about the arena, such legends as Michigan 30; Aggies 0, 1921; Michigan 63; Aggies 0, 1922 Michigan 37; Agg'es 0, 1923, will add to the decorative embellishment, but wil not be otherw'se inspiring to the home crowd, But with her new amphitheater, it is said, the Aggies will revert to old days when they were tough opponents for any out- fit. ‘Then October 18, the Wolverin will assist in the dedication of the great Illinois stadum at Urbana. ‘The big ten 1924 may well be decided -on that! day. Zuppke's men have, two blots to eliminate from their escutcheon—a 3 to 0 beating in 1921 and 24 to 0 in 1922. Last year when these teams should have met they didn't. i November 1, Michigan will join with Minnesota in opening the Go- pher Stadium. All in the Wol- ‘verines will be fed up on official cir- cum ce and prefervid oratory by the time they have completed the ap- proaching season. ‘The Michigan team, by the weight, is expected to be light, tricky and fast.

If they do not pro- duce one of the strong teams of the east, then all signs are at fault. 4 Harvard's graduate treasurer, said, Yale's second team would be qualified to beat any aver- age outfit this year. | ‘At the same time when it is writ- ten that Princeton has suffered few losses it “does not mean as much as it might, ordinarily.

Not because of its reason- able price but in spite of it~ the best hat is the Gor today when Pittsburgh and Brook- lyn will play the leading role in a drama, which will be tragic to one or the other. Washington and New York are staging @ mad dash down the Amer- fean league stretch at breakneck speed. Detroit is struggling to keep up but slowly its cause is becoming hopele: It must squelch a Yankee invader or accept defeat. Just as merciless is the pace which is be- ing set in the National league, New York with Brooklyn right on its heels, half a length behind, is ex- hausted by the dizzy pace. The Giants, yesterday had- their hair parted by the Cincinnati Reds. dividing q double header, losing the first game, 5 to 3, but coming un- der the wire first in the night cap, 7 to 5. Brooklyn advanced to w'thin n half game of the 1923 champions by winning twice from St. Loui: to 5, and 4 to 2. - Pittsburgh, today still two and a half games behind the lead, was only nble to break even with the Phillies yesterday, dropping the first game of its double header 6 to 5, but win- ning the second, 6 to 3.

Washington made it three straight from Cleveland by winning the final game of the series 9 to 5. The Philadelphia Athletics almost ironed out the Detroit cause by winning a third straight victory from the Bengals, 5 to 8.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Johnny Dundge’s resignation as the feath- the world and Benny Leonard's runaway from a chance to win the world’s welter- weight championship were ¢. pair of unusual incidents of the busy summer season that put the ques- tion to the wise boy’ ‘How come?" Box fighters are invariably so keen for titles and cash that the un- usual action of two of the rings foremost business men convince? nearly everyone that there was « trick some place and the answer is still waiting. When Johnny Kibano tired of the featherweight championship he found that he could market the crown for $100,000 and he got that much for taking a tap on the chin from Eugene Criqui that was not hefty enough to deprive Johnny of satisfacton for the rest of his days. No suggestion js intended that Kilbane took a dive or deliberately sold the title. On the contrary, it is quite possible that Kilbane fig- ured he could get as much for de- fending hie title against Dundee if he could win from Criqui and there is no just reason to figure that Kil bane didn’t try to win. ‘The point, however,-as it~ ‘ tains to Dundee’s resignation is that he could have gotten almost as much as Kilbane got for losing his title in the orthodox fashion and he might have lost without the black mark of a knockout or with- out any punching that might make it uncomfortable in his old days. The wise boys figure that Dun- dee did not wantrto fight Kid Kap- lan, the choice of the boxing com- mission, as the logical contender. Dundee said, in tossing the title into the Jap of the commission, that he couldn't make’ the weight of the featherweight class.and he wanted to spend the rest of his days among the lightweights. Dun- dee never had any trouble making weight, and it was unusual that he should find himself overcome with fat all of a sudden. / The featherweight class hasn't been any too active since Dundee succeeded Criui, and perhaps Dun- dee figured that Leonard would never defend his title again and that he was better than the other candidates for the lightweight championship. If Dundee did pass over his title to avold being haras- sed by the featherweights his pres- tige would be hurt. It would be held that he had been‘beaten by a fea- therwelght and had no claims for a lghtweight champlonship bout. It he didn't get rid of the feather- weight, title the commission could force him to stay in his own class and give preference to legitimate lightweights after Leonard's crown, As it stands now, Dundee is out the money that he might have got- ten by. defending his title, but he has .prospects for future business that may make him the winner in the long run. Even ‘f nothing should come of his plans to sneak into the light- weight championship, Dundee can always change his mind. Regard: less of who is picked to succeed him, Dundee can say that ho is still the champion. If a good successor is built up while Dundee is In a state of semi- retirement, he can coue out and a maud a fight for a good purse and get away with it. Lecnard’d ‘sudden decision to “un out of bis fight with Mickey Wa'k- er for the welterweight clvimnpion- ship, left Walker and the promo- trs out on a limb, and the wise boys -guessing their heads off. The Ughtweisht champion ,must haye had go004 reasons—m than a sore thumb—for ducking a fight that would imve brought him et icast $150,000 Some cracks were made thut Leo- nard found he couldn't make the welterweight class. He looks big enough to be a middleweight and it’s a dead cinch that he never can make the lightweight limit. If Benny wants to remain in the fight game he will have to fight as a welterweight, and yet he passed up Once before Leonard showed a! peculiar animosity for the welter-| weight championship, He had Jack Britton on the floor, being counted out, when he walked deliberately sround the referee and tapped Brit, ton on the head, thus losing on* a foul. . Leonard found out certainly must have that he’ couldn't lck Walker or he never would have banged up his hand on the hard | head of Pal Moran. Leonard always | has been such a sharp, accurate | hitter that it is peculiar he should hurt his hand in that way on the eve of a big fight.
