When they packed up and de- yrted this morning they not only ok the state championship with em. They took the idea out of Cas- ‘s head that it knows anything bout the ancient and honorable diron pastime. There were few od citizens that greeted the de- rture of the visitors with any la- ntations. If they had remained a ple of more days they would pbably have helped themselves to city hall and the municipal erworks. Worland so far outclassed Casper t there can be little comparison the two teams. The home town s tried valiantly to prevent the od of north country touchdowns ly succeeded in t ‘oa them.

After Harkins chief honors for the day go to Ralph Cottrell, a‘defensive wing man unexcelled in the state and to his brother “Big” Cottrell, halfback. The latter played his best game of the year according to his teammates and he was responsible for the majority of the gains which Worland made through the line. Wil- son and Wortham of the visitors, in the Hne, also deserve special men- tion. Although Casper did not show to advantage in any part of the game there were two players on the eleven who did more then their share in attempting to stem the deluge of Worland scores. They were War- ren McKelvey in the backfield and Clarence Thompson in the line. Mc- Kelvey, during the time he was in the game, made more than half the Casper tackles and was responsible ft several of the best gains. He was knocked unconscious in the first half, being hit in the same spot where he suffered the injyry in the Laramie game and from there on was handicapped in his play. Thompson was about the only man in the Casper line who seemed’ know what it was all about, and both his offensive and defensive work was the best of the local for- bent line. Gibson, good play, but they were not sustained. ‘The game attracted the biggest crowd: of. thesscason with a goodly number of Worland ‘supportera who made the trip by auto or train. A snappy day with a moderately fast gridiron’ made conditions almost from the west that: blew in fits and starts. < Play by play descriptions of games are rapidly passing out of vogue in the east and the middle west. Not onty do they fall to show the inter- ference that was responsible for gaing but they also fail to credit, in the majority of cases, the men who break up plays on the defensive. But for the benefit of any morbid Casper supporters who desire to check up on how badly they were beaten, the following resume will give a brief description of how the scores were made: - Worland kicked off and. Casper, after failing to gain, punted to the visitors, Harkins fumbled and Bell recovered for Casper. A forward pass which hit the ground in the end zone destroyed a chance at a score. Worland took the ball and rushed straight down the field for a touchdown, alded materially by an end run of 30 yards by Harkin: that put them in a position for a tally. Cottrell kicked goal. Wor- land, 7; Casper, 0. Casper kicked off and Kassig fell on the ball in the end zone for a touchdown. MeKelvey kicked goal. Casper, 7; Worland, 7 Casper made several good gains shortly after the kickoff and ad- vanced tho ball to the @isitor: 25-yard line. A penalty of 15 yard: set them back and after see-sawing back and forth Casper was forced back to its 15-yard line. A Casper punt went straight up in the air, Worland recovered and acored on five line plays, Johngon going over, Cottrell again kicked goal. Wor- land, 14; Casper, 7. Casper showed its beat sustained rattack right after the opening of the second half advancing the ball to Worland's 10-yard line with a pretty forward pass gain of 30 yards, Hales fo Gorrell, included, The ball was lost on downs and shortly after Harkins raced down under a Worland punt and recovered It after Gorrell had fumbled on the 25-yard line. Worland scored on straight line plays, Cottrell making the tally but missing the extra point. Worland, 20; Casper, 7. ‘Worland's last tally came after a beautiful return ofa punt by Har- kins had put.the ball within scoring distance. An offaide penalty on Cas- per’s five-yard line materially helped Worland and Harking threw a pass to Johnson for the extra point. Worland, 27; Casper, 1.

ANSWER—To ajl intents it is such, It does not prevent inde- pendent clubs from engaging inel- igible players because It cannot, but clubs that are compelied to observe the ineligible list may not play clubs that play ineligible players nor may they play clubs that have played ‘other clubs harboring ineligible players. QUESTION—What kinds of deliv. ery are legal now in baseball for the pitchers? ANSWER—There is no kind of delivery that is not legal.

Fifty Years Of Baseball Hulbert’s Thought Started League By JOHN B; FOSTER. (Special Correspondent of the Casper Tribune) (Copyright, 1924, by the Conosilated Press Association) This is the story of how the Nat- ional League came to be former, as Albert G. Spalding has put it, and considering the fact that there were only two men ‘in at the formation, Mr. Spalding and William A, Hul- bert, second president of the organi- zation, there is no particular reason to believe that Mr. Spalding {s not exactly right. Most of the time he was in baseball. There had been much trouble in Me old National association with the gamblers and the fact that the championship seemed to run one way all of the time, Even in those days they had # surfelt of too much championship in on city. Spalding ad bro away from the Boston club to go back to Chieage hoping that the game would revive ‘in the west. There were five players with him. It had been rumored that when the meetting of the national assoc!- ation wag held all of these players would be expelled from baseball, As it happened that Spalding was to go to the Chicage club of which Hulbert was president, he informed him of the fact. Hulbert insisted to Spalding that the could nOt be ex- pelled. “In the eyes of the public,” the then Chicago president said, “you six players are stronger t) the whole association .Bpaiding, I have a new scheme. Let us anticipate the eastern cusses and organize a new association before the March mect- ing, and then see who will do the expelling.” That scheme beeame reality and it was from. the birth of the thought which was originated in Chicago that the National League came into ex- istence, Daily, conferences followed this until thé plans were worked out and at last the leaders for the new deal in baseball were ready to announce that they would confer with others in Louisville. It waa still necessary however, that they go carefully and the meeting had to be kept secrot. if the eastern clubs had obtained ward of what was going on they would have put every obsta in the way of the league, Thus it is also apparent that {t was western influence which was behind the Nat onal League and it is a fact of some interest that both major leagues had their inception in the west and that all major leagues that have been at- tempted in the east have been fail- ures Hulbert was determined that the name of the new league should rec- ognize clubs and not players and so he decided upon the title of ‘The National League of Professional Baseball Clubs" which remains to- day as it was in the beginning. — ——e———_ There 11,000 and are chambt Try results, a Tribune classified ad for MINORS oTIL COMING STRONG Refuse to Let Majors Trample Them Under Foot. By JOHN B. FOSTER. Capyright, 1924, Casper Tribune. HARTFORD, Conn., Dec. 5,—The minora are still one lap ahead of the majors and going strong. They are nat willing to have any of their rights stepped on. If the majors take ything away from them) it will be only after they have put them to the rack-—-a torture of which the majors have been accused repeatedly in the past, The minors will reject all over- tures for anything which will give the majors more players than they TOW possess or to hang on to the minor players longer than they do now. It is a fact that some club ewhers are coming to believe that it would be better for baseball if the majors never carried more than 26, players. They are supposed to have a maximum of 40 now: end some of them, according to the mi- nor leaguers, actually have 55. If they were authorized to: have 50, it is believed some of them would act- ually have 765. The biggest event in the history of the minor leagues was the aclec- tion of Catalina Island, Los Angeles, for the 1925 meeting. Atlanta and Ashville tried hard to lure the ma; nates down sauth, but the persuasive sloquence of Oscar Relchow, of the Los Angeles club, prevaiied. It will be a long ride for gome of the mag- nates, but the visit may do them ag much good as assignments to play with coast teams has done some ball players who were thought to be about through. Christy Mathewson Fuchs spent a whole afternoon dick- ering with the owners of the Seattle club for James Walsh, outfielder and first. baseman. They had.to part with Yeargin, Stryker and another pitcher yet to be named, as well as some $50,000 in cash before they ooyid close the deal. ROMERO BEATS JACK RENAULT BOSTON, Dec. 6.—Quintin Rom- ero, Chilean heavyweight, was given the decision over Jack Renault of Canada at the end of a 10-round pout here last night. The decision, made by the referee when the two judges disagreed, was criticised by sport writers of the morning Boston papers. Romero shewed strength in stand- ing Up under the punishmen. deliv- ered by Renault's body blows, the ewities wrote, Renault won eight rounds according to the Judgment ft bay Hn sare writer, while another ve him nipe rounds, Renault's weight was announced as 198 and Remero's as 196.
