In this bout Shannon was weakened considerably when he was forced to take off a couple of extra pounds of weight, although many of the newspaper critics at the ringside gave him a shade over Long while the majority called it a draw. Bennie has arrived in Casper and worked out at the Casper A. C. un- der the direction of Walt Walters ST. PAUL CLUB OFF FOR WEST TO OPEN PLAY ST.

Shannon worked out in a very fast clip and the many fans that witnessed his training stunts were loud in their praise for the speed that he developed during his boxing after he had punched the bag, skipped the rope.and wrestled. With a kick in either mitt Shan- non should make Long step to high speed to gain even a draw decision.

Indications point to one of the largest crowds that has ever wit- nessed a boxing exhibition in this city by the advance sale of tickets which are on sale at the Henning billiard parlor and the Smokehouse. Reservations have been placed for a large number of seats and before the bout starts it is thought that every seat in the house will be sold. Special bus service will be ar: ranged leaving at Second and Center streets for the arena every five min- utes and with popular prices’ pre- vailing Casper’s fight fans shoul! turn out en masse.

This fact was indelibly impressed upon a group of Cheyenne Indians recently, when two “pale-face’ archers decisively defeated thelr champion marksmen at the Indian fair at Lame Deer. “Bil” Gollings, cowboy artist, and Harry Palmer, also a pioneer of the range, took first and second re- spectively in. the free-for-all archery contest. Following them, and far outclassed, were Spotted Elk, Wolf Man and Medicine Bow, in the order named, Gollings and Palmer were the only whites entered in the event. | YOU KNOW Bs PA SSS SSAA fhe = FA wi > a ee PMT LATEST NOTRE DAME VICTORY CREDITED TO SPEEDY ELEVEN . By WALTER CAMP (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—Speed and more speed, perfectly concerted ac- Uon ‘of eleven men, plus the clever- est use of @nds on interference, spells the story of Knute Rockne’s victory with his Notre Dame team over McEwan's Army aggregation. It was masterly football that No- tre Dame game, and if all the foot- ball backs in the country could have been present, they would have learn- ed the lesson of what speed really means to a runner's start. Blocked kicks—much too fre- quent this season in the big game: won and lost the Frinceton-Navy game. Had either, side put its pun- ters far enough back to be safe, that side would have won. Princeton finally came thru to a break, a 14-14 te by a f.eldt¥ick made by substi- tute Ewing. Penn won what seemed ilkely to be a tle with Columbia by a place: ment goal in the second period. ‘case, the Columbia quarter, ran the..opening kick-off back 90 yards for, a _touchdown—a feat that last year Harner, of Pennsylvania, had accomplished. against Columbia. Penn earned her score this year thru greater line play but Columbia show- ed that she now is a factor in the football world. Hazel'’s long punting and his farward passing enabled Rutgers to pin a defeat upon Dobie’s Cornell team, The kicking of Wallace's big back was something to be pround of and easily earned enough to settle the game. COMMERCG BASEBALL Had: it not been for one play, re- Peated time and again by Dart- mouth, Yale might have come thru against the Green. But that double pass criss-cross behind the Green line with the dashing Hall as the anal recipient of the ball, was an unsolved enigina and added yards and yards of territory to Dart- mouth’s gains, Yale's stand when Hawley’s men had the ball inside the two-yard line with four downs .o make the touchdown was the thrilling feature of the contest. If anyone doubted the selection of Red Grange on the All-American last year, he should have journeyei to Urbana last Saturday and watched that youth pile up five to downs against Yost's Michigan men in spite wi the fact that for a whole year the Ann Arbor team has been but one watchword—"Stop Grange.” Syracuse and-Harvard had fine experience out of Boston College and Holy Cross but came thru with small victories.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—(United Press)—During the scandal that broke out just before the recent world’s, series, which resulted in the expu'sion from organized. baseball, of Cozy Dolan and Jimmy O'Connell, the opinion was expressed that the world’s series should be abolished. Ban Johnson, president of the American League, raved that Com- missioner Landis should haye de- clareé the New York Giants inell- gible and substituted the Brooklyn Robins as the opponents of Wash- ington, or that he should have called off the series. 3 Johnson's views should not be given too much emphasis, however, as there is to much vindictive mal. ice in him and he was talking more fg 0. radical enemy of Landis than as @ guardian of baseball. Johnson wasn't such @ purist in 1919 and 1920 when one of thy teams in his league -was involved in a mess and he shouldn’t be any more willing to wield the club when q team\in another league is involved. It is an admitted fact that the temptation {s becoming great for players of slow tnentality and those of loose n,orals. Temptations are be- Ing offered because the game has been so highly commercialized. The club owners are responsible for that. Instead of charging the highest price for tickets that the public would stand for and instead of grab- bing every cent they can get from the players they ought to give the Players reason to believe that there ts something in the business except dough. The money-grabbing tactics of the club owners was shown this year when they refused to pay the play- ers for games played in the world’s series. You might argue that it is féolish to suggest that the players should get a regular salary for working for the rich world’s ser- les prize, but perhaps the players feel differently about it. Whether the magnates are just or unjust in saving that little extra salary money they are, nevertheless, giving evi- dence to the players that they con- sider money first, last and always, ‘When the players have to work under such conditions it {s not strange thet they might get the opinion that it is nothing but a money game, that there {s no sport in it, and that the only offense against thegethics of their profe; sion fs to be’caught at it.

GRANGE NEEDS HARDER TESTS Real Pair of Ends May SlowUp Star, Says Football Scribe. By LAWRENCE PERRY. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—While ‘Red” Grange was making touch- the reply of Commissioner Landis | when he was asked what his reac- tion was. “Just a couple of fools,” ager McGraw said. Everyone agreed that it was a foolish piece of work. The idea was not sound and the execution was crude. But why talk only about the fool- ishness of any such attempts. Why not call it by its right name? It is impossible to believe that Jimmy O'Connell originated the idea. Tt is impossible to believe that he didn’t have good reasons to feel that Dolan was not the only other one in on the deal. It is impossible to bo- Neve that Dolan was acting on his own. If those in charge of professional baseball do not become a little more Uberal in giving all the details of their investigation and do not make public more /of the testimony, there ls bound to be a lot of talk this winter when baseball news is hard to get. Commissioner Landis refused to make public the testimony in Wash- ington and in New York. Dolan re- fused to talk and, if it had not been for the statement of O'Connell, no one would have known that the names of three other Giant players had been mentioned. John A. Heydler, president of the National League afd as much as he could to furnish all the details. He told how the case was brought to his attention and how he proceeded. He could do nothing more, Commission- er Landis knew much more — or should have known much more—but he refused to give any of the de- talls. He upraided the writer when he asked him in ‘Washington ‘for the details on'the grounds that the pub- llc and the newspapers were entit- led to them. He tried to establish his Position by a series of personal at- tacks on the writer and some threats that he would be kicked out !f ho ap- peared in his room again “in the same condition.” - / Landis was right in saying that the world’s series should not have been called off. If there were any! reasons why the world's series can- Straight, the major leagues should be abolished. i If there is such qa monace of big Man- PAGE OF SPORTING NEWS |= ME AL—A: AWFOL, ws PRICE, QINT PAGE FI First in News Of All Events By RING LARD Q@N | OUTSIDE Room, MONSIEUR downs almost at will against the Michigan team at Urbana on Satur- day, the writer, no less amazed than most of those within the vast amphitheater, was inclined to re gard him as the greatest running back who ever wore cleats. But after studying the game in the cold light of retrospect, his tendency is to de- fer forming a definite opinion until the swift and elusive Grange has been tested against such a pair of ends as, say Iowa, may’ present when the two teams meet. It may seem rather ungracious to a great athlete to say so, but the fact remains that the Wolverines did not haye a real end on the field last Saturday. The chief flaws of the men who played the wings for the Ann Arbor oufit were at New York to be drawn into miss the runner and they. were the simplest targets for opposing tackles and backs that the writer has seen in a long time. To poor end play thus may not a few of Grange's long runs be as: eribed, On the other hand. it must be borne in mind that on at least two occasions Grange weaved his way through the closely knit pack of almost the entire Michigan eleven. The writer is quite willing to say that he never saw a better back, ends or no ends. But it will re- quire more than one game against a better defensive game before Grange can be crowned king of kings. Other backs this writer has seen have been as fleet of foot as Grange and others have been amazingly elu, sive But the greatest of the: Ill- nois star, the thing that causes him to stand among the elect of all time, Hes in his ability to encom- s the layout of the field ahead of him and to adapt his movements ac- cordingly. Or, when in the’ welter cf tackles to pick opening right and left as though he were being piloted by some unseen power, One very interesting thing about Grange’s runs was that in all dash extremely few would-be tacklers even la{d hands upon him. Had Grange not played for Ilinols, n’probably would have made even thing of it. For, like Illl- the Wolverines were better offensively than defensively. Mich- igan's showing probably did not flect the real potential merits of ti eleven. Grange’s 80-yard run for J touchdown the frist crack out of t! box, followed by repeated dashes f scores in the first period, would hay bewildered and befuddled any ov fit. Michigan will have a chance show what real mertis it possess: against strong future opponents. / for Illinois, scouts for future oppo. ents of the Urbana elevent shoc their heads gravely over Grange, bi evidently did not regard Illinois as, team that could not be score against by a hard shifty attack.

The must not try to catch, evident must avoid, all punted balls « though they were poinsoned. Mich gan's first touchdown came as a rt sult of this doubtful strategy. —— ee For results try a Tribune Clasq tied Ads. in Times Square New York City —by popular choice (ETHER it’s the vital busi- ness of electing a president, or the casual one of selecting a cigarette, their endorsement where they be- lieve it is most deserved. men naturally place Everywhere men ate changing from other cigarettes to Chester- field—convinced by taste of finer quality.
