Three m Each Major League Will Meet With Landis. A trick of ths schedule which brings the three contending teams into competition in the final rush _ By JOHN B. FOSTER. (Copyright, 1924 Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Sept. 2¢.—Six teams favors the Giants. If the Pirates and Robins each win one of their —three in each league—ate offi- cially eanceged to have a chance in two games to be played today and tomorrow, the Giants could lose two of their series of three to McKech- nie’s team and still come home by capturing only five of the eight re- maining on their schedule today. If either Pittsburgh or Brooklyn makes o double killing‘of the other the Josing team will be eliminated. The Serators as yet have no such comforting margin. If Washington joses one game the Yankees can tie the league championships and will meet Cormnissioner Landis here Sun- day to submit their pifyer lists and talk things over. All of the six have an interest in the series, as all will get'a cut of the receipts, but so far ay the big winner is concerned, the chances have narrowed, for most practical purposes, to four c’ubs.

Looks like an unjust rule rsince had the post not been padded the ball would not have been over the line.

Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune. NEW YORK, Sept. 20—Bastern fight fans occasionally take time out to wonder about the Jimmy Duffy, who has been going through the welterweights in the four rqund af- fairs in’ California, like the Broad- way express through a tunnel. Few realize that they have probably seen him perform in this neck of the woods, for here the boxing authorl- tes made him fight under his real name of Hymi old. Jack Kearns brought him east about two Years ago but after two tryouts he was content to slip back to Onkland and box for smaller mon- ey, which proves the old adage about “What's in a name.” Kearns got him a fight with Lew Tendler and Gold breezed along in front for the first four rounds. Then Lew socked him in the mid-section with that long left uppercut and Hymie claimed a foul and refused to con- tinue. Bobby Barrett of Philadel- phia, followed this up by dropping the Californian from the count in three rounds and Gold took the first train home, In the four round bouts in his own bailiwick, Gold apparently had everything. He beat Bermondsey, Bily Wells twice, he rimmed Pink- sy Mitchell soundly and was over the other easterners who and some of them tent. Whether he losses confidence in the long bouts or whether he can’t “take it,” or whether he can take it and won't, are questions that are causing a lot of comment on- the coast, He has just had his tonsils removed and his friends say this has made a new man of him. He is talk- ing of invading the east again. If, or when he does, it wont take long to answer these moot points, RAIL PRICE IS FIXED tackled had class, INVER, Colo., Sept,, 20.—Judge J, Foster Symes of the United States district court haw fixed $17 700 ag the upset price at which the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad will be sold.
