rs “ar WORLD SERIES ADMISSIONS TO CONTINUE HIGH Talk of Cutting Price Of Tickets Dying Out in East By JOHN B. FOSTER (Copyright 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—The soft pedal is being put on talk of re- ducing world series admission prices in 1925—talk which made is appear- ance simultaneously with the break- ing of the Giant bribery scandal. Another record-breaking ‘gate’ desipt the scandal, some of the owners are beginning to say that, after all, the public “stood for” the scandals of 1919 and 1924 and that they will “stand for” again the high prices which make world series such juicy plums and put such heavy money temptation upon players of the high ranking teams. During the playing of the 1924 world series, the talk about reduced prices gained considerable headway, especially among owners of the Na- tional league, which had been hit by the scandal, The American league owners were less positive at the mo- ment that they favored such a re- duction—for they were not facing the unpleasant situation that existed in the other league. But now, well next world series is a year away anda lot can be forgot- ten during that time. There are men in baseball who are absolutely indifferent to public opinion because they have made themselves believe baseball is a nec- essity to the country, like bread. ‘These individuals are bling. to every- thing except money —°a quality which rus« thru all professional sports in America. ~ If prieas were reduced, they still would be high enough to produce a splendid “gato” and the reward would be worthy of the athlete. ‘Thera is no reason why a ball play- er's services to the nation should be considered double or triple the value of the services of the country’s ar- tists and professional men. There is no desire to bring the ball player into a state of penury, but just the same there is) no reason why; he should ‘be rewarded above other mor- tals who are doing their share to make this world sexcellent ground for news gatherers. But so strongly is the worldseries atmospheré impregnated with ‘big money” now that éven the umpires haye threatened a strike unless they get their fingers deeper into the 1924 dividend, Even the 1924 world ser- jes proved that the tickets for a _ world series game can be sold the day before the game and the day of the game if necessary. They did this at Washington. This leaves some room for speculation but per- haps not half as much when the tickets are distributed several days in advance of the game, as in the us- ual custom, If an open public sale became the rule, there no longer could be hurled carges of manipulation of tickets by those who had access to them. ——\—>_—_ For results try a Tribune Classl- fied Ads.

CASPER JOHNSON NOT YET DECIDED ON NEXT YEAR WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—The ma- jor post-season problem of the world champion Senators—whether Walter Johson will be on next season's ros- ter—remained unsolved tode “Old Barne; hi been Washington's pitching raainstay for 18 years, and is the dean of th American Jeague hurlers, announced last ‘February that he intended to purchase an interest in some minor club, preferrably in the Pacific Coast league, so as to give his family a permanent home. The family's off season home is Reno, Nevada, and now that some of his children are at schoo) age, the ace of pitching aces feels he should settle down in the west. Johnson held a conference. with Clark Griffith on plans for 1925, but after an hour's discussion no conclusion had been reached. No date has been set for further consid- eration of the matter, but it was indicated they would resume their discussion soon, Don Long Will Be Dentist on ' Quitting Ring Don (Terror) Long, sensational featherweight boxer of Colorado Springs, intends to be a dentist aft- er he gets through with the boxing game or it gets through with him. Don is studying dentistry at Denver University so that if he can't pu'l ‘em out he'll knock ‘em out with a hard right sock to the kisser. It is seldom that a professional boxer looks to the future. Not so with Long for he is bent upon be- ing prepared to “carry on" when he ls forced to toss the old fightin’ mitts on the shelf for keeps. He is thought to be the first boy in the history of the Rockies to endeavor to work his way to a college educa- tion on the merits of his fighting ability. Local boxing fans will get their first peek at Long when he tackles that, flashy little mauler—Eddie Shea—for ten rounds here Wednes- day night, October 22. Shea is rated one of the best little sock brokers in and around Chftago and his friends. ‘and admirers predict he will topp! Long for the ten-count early in the battle. However, Levg. and his fol- lowers are just as confident Don will cop the high honors a;d in jig time, too. At any rate, the fuss should resolve itself into one of the fastest and most furious fistic contests ever staged in this part of the state. ‘Lefty’ Groves Brings Record, Price in Sale * BALTIMORE, M4., Oct. 16,—Rob- ert M.

Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune. NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—If Notre Dame can best West Point again ext Saturday, Knute Rockne will leserve all the econiums that can be showered upon him, provided, of course, the Army uses all the avail- able strength it can put into the field, Army’s back trio, Wood, Wilson and Hewitt, is a4 combination cap- able of more characters of play than almost any that can be gotten to- gether so farjthis season. It in: cludes a steady, reliable kicker and passer, as good an open field run- ner they make and a pile driv- ing line smasher. The Army has a fine line, too, and Carbisch for field kicks. True, Notre Dame has a veteran backfield too, but tt has not so much power in the line as has the army. It will take cleverness, unusual even for Rockne, to turn the trick against the Army again this year. His chance, so far as the writer can see, will ie in West Point’s slowness to get going apd its unwillingness to put everything she has into the game at the very start and keep it there as long as she can. ‘We certainly shall see some new forward passing tricks but the greatest trick Rockne has lies in the use of his end Another good game next Satur- day will be the Syracuse-Boston Col- lege game at Syracuse, where Chick Meehan will line his men up against Cavannaugh’'s hard-fighting Boston- fans. This should be a mighty close struggle, with the odds slightly fa. voring Syracuse, in spite of the lose: that Meehan -has suffered in his backfield. A very vital game will be played at New Haven between, Yale and Dartmouth, which are renewing re- lations after thirty years. Judging from the power Dartmouth showed against Vermont last Sgturday and lack of scoring, power unearthed by Yale against Georgia, the Bulldog is going to be In for a busy gridiron session. Dartmouth lost only one game last seascn, that with Cor- nell and {s not likely to lose many this season. Another really hard big game will be played at Atlanta between Penn Stat id Georgia Tech. The Penn State eleven won only by 7-0 last year and Bezedek ts likely to have his hands full winning this time. Alexander has been coaching Georgia Tech now for some years and de- veloping good teams. R. C.

OHIO’ HOPES PAAISED BY TIE WITH IOWANS; OPTIMISM STANDS: OUT By LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright 1924, Casper Tribune) COLUMBUS, 0., Oct. 16.—The tonic effect of the scoreless tie to which Obio State held the University of Towa gt. lowa City last Saturday has been quite apparant at the Ohio Stadium in the past two days. It has given the coaches and play- ers’ of the rather gréen Buckeye team a certain sanction that was greatly needed. In fact the prevail ing feeling thruout the university is that the tle contest against prac tically the same team that defeated the Buckeyes last year 20-0, was a mighty fine game to Nave turned in: From end to end, the Hawkeyes averaged 205 pounds and the back- fleld about 180.

Back in the wimer of 1921, Kid Murphy, that grand little fighter of another day, wrote to Mullins invit- e Bell Syndicate, Ine) ing him to run down to Trenton and look over a promising young featherweight who had all the ear- marks of a coming champion. Paddy read the letter and smiled. No doubt he attributed the nice things written about the boy to a father's pride in his offspring—for the boy wds none other than Tommy Kid Murphy. But Kid Murphy was right. Young Tommy has been performing very well indeed for the short time he has been in competition and has at- tracted the attention of several, big managers who are falling over them- selves to supply the boy.
