” TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1925 World Results By Leased Wire MUCH MONEY, 1S UPON SLATTERY INCOMING BOUT Fans Think His Clever- ness Has Chance to * Defeat Jack Delaney By FAIR PLAY. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—There is a lot of foolish money being wagered on the Delaney-Slattery fight at the Garden this week. It is Glattery money. < The reason the writer thinks this Slattery money is foolish is because the odds are based upon the fact that in their last bout, the Buffalo fight- er outpointed the French-Canadian in a six-round bout! * A bout of that sort does not war- rant odds one way or another and the talk heard on the inside is that a lot of Slattery's friends are going to be‘ out conriderable sum of money as a result of this battle. Slattery is a first class boxer and clever and game but if Delaney does net go in looking for a quick knock- out as he did last time and ts content to do some boxing on his own ac- count, the fany who bet on Slattery will be likely to wish they had not offered odds on the Buffalo fighter. Nobcdy seems to have the slight- est idea what Jack Dempsey's mar- riage will do to his ring career. The wedding came as such a sur- prise to Jack Kearns that the did not have time to set himself. for the shock. This being so, ring followers are not likely to accept’ Kearns’ state ments concerning Dempsey‘s plans as being inside information. Rickard is equally on the outside. Maybe Dempsey dees not know himself. fata aa lace te Mickey Walker Is Due on Coast for Bert Colima Bout LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 10. — ickey Walker, weltérweight cham- pion of the world, {s due here to- night with plans to go into training for the twelveround no-decision bout February 24, at the Vernon Arena near here with Bart Colima, Pacific Coast title holder. “Meet me st the Smokehouse.” poser al ih aS iat QUESTION | BOX .

DODGERS LOOK FOR INFIELDERS TO GAIN POWER Pitching Strength Last Season Held Tean Up; Infield Weak By JOHN B. FOSTER. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Feb. 19.—Brookiyn is maneuvering to get into line to meet the infield strength that will be put on the field by cpposing Nat jonal league clubs in 1925. The Giants have a young infield with Groh in or out, that promises to sparkle. The Pittsburghs are sat istied and ro are others, that their.in- field will be the fastest young quar. tet playing ball. Of course, the qua! iffeation “young” must be taken into consideration. The Chicagos are con- ident that they have the best veter- an infield. Brcoklyn crowded {ts way to sec ond place last year because her pitch- ers were as good, or better, than any others in the league. It is not certain, however, that Brooklyn can make 80 much headway this searon with her pitchers unless there ts some improvement in an infield that does not promise to be as good as last year. Tierney {s not a fast second baste man. He {s a powerful hitter. He might play second well enough to get by and make up for what he can aet cover in ground by his prowess at bat. If Johnston were unable to play in 1925 and if Stock can do no better than he did last season, High could be switched back to third. He batted well last season and he plays third quite as well as Stcck. If Brooklyn started with Fournier at first, Tierney at second, Johnston at short and Highm at third, it would have a better combination than it did {n 1924, so far as attack at the bat is concerned. On hits that went direct to the players, it would have a good fielding infield, but one that would "net range as far afield as it might, especially on the right hand ede. Still, if this quartet could give the pitchers better than 960 support in the field with their hitting ability Brooklyn might prove to be one of the toughest propositions in the Nat- ional league. Brooklyn let Nels go to Boston. The Brooklyn outfield could take care of itself without Nels and per- haps the latter will play better for Boston than for Brooklyn. During the hibition series out on the ccast last fail. Nels had some difficulty In a hotel and he has not been popular with the Brooklyn management since. Boston €an take plenty of outfield strength because that is one part of the team that is not overstrong. In fact it is only medium. The real point of interest in the switch of players is the moving of Tierney into Brooklyn, where he can be uded as a factor for changing an infield ro as to provide more third base strength than Brooklyn had last sea- son, The Des Moines baseball folks are trying to interest the fans of that section by selling them stock in the club. This experiment has been tried before in other citles and occasion ally hag been successful. It almost always has been successful the first year. If the club does well then, the plan moves along but {f the club ts not successful, the public begins looking for somecne to take the stock off its hands and pretty soon some individual or emal! group of in- dividuals has acquired control of phe team The Boston Nationals years age iad so many stockholders that they sonstitited most of the spectators at games, The plan never went well. By and by the famous ‘triumvirate got hold of a majority of the stock and then it did go. But the former owners did not get anything out of it.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—Another row over the subject of pure ama- tourism will result from the recom. mendation of Baron De Coubertin, President of the International Olym- pic Association, that amateur eth: letics be given compensation for the Ume Yost from thelr regular occu: pation while they are competing In meets, The idea is not new. Sweden ex: pressed approval of the suggestion more than @ year ago and although there was a violent protest from otber European nations, it was rum: much as they would ha: their regular occupations while they were absent in Paris. Baron De Coubertin was careful to make {t clear that he wae voicing ® personal opinion, that he was not ing an official attitude on the question. Some of the smaller nations might be able to interest more youngsters in track and field athletics if compe- Ution could be made financially at- tractive, but there follows the im- portant question—Who would pay them? Most of the European ni tions now have trouble gétting the money to pay the transportation and the mere living expenses of an Olym- pic team, and even the United States was hard put to !t to get funds last summer to send a team to Parts. Perhaps the generosity of Los Angeles officials {s bringing about a change In feeling on the other sid It will be recalled that Los An: in asking for the 1928 games, a; to cransport all the foreign teams to and from Los Angeles, with the freight all paid.

The game will be played at the high schod gym, play starting at 8 o'clock. The Standards will concentrate on Ryuaiski, Wilson, Pattersop, Erick- son and Kidd with a bunch of subst!- tutes to teke home the battle while the Pearl Whites will have the trio of Nefts, George Layman, Clowry and a couple of others. The game rhould be a hummer and should draw one of the largest crowds of the season. NUAMI FAILS IN MAKING RECORD PORTLAND, Me., Feb. 10.—-Paavo Nurmi's failure to break the world’s record for the 3,000 yard run and the lefent of Je Ray in the three-quar- ter mile special race were the out- standing features of the second an- oual track ineet at the local Ameri can Legion last night The record is 7 minutes 58 1-5 sec: ondg while Nurmi ran the distance a 8 minutes, 14 2-5 seconds.

European athletes would have to spend about a month making the trip to and from thelr own’ port and at least three we or a month would be necessary to train for and compete in the games. It is a read. fly admitted fact that there are few athletes in Burope fixed so well fi- nanclally that they could forego the pay-check for two months ayen if It didn’t cost them anything to Live during that time. There aren't so many American athletes who can afford to do the sane thing. Dick Langdon, Wi'lie Plant and several other prospective point winners were not able to go to Paris last summer because they couldn't afford to leave their busi- net It is understood that some other athletes were able to make the trip only because thelr employers responded to a patriotic appeal to give their employes @ vacation and pay them while they were away. The United States, of cours: hasn't the same problems that © ropean nations have because 60 many of the star American athletes are col’ege boys and they have no domestic obligations to assume. There are many others, however, who have family obligations and bills to keep going while they are away. While no official opinion has been obtained, it ts quite cértain that the United States will ratse dn objection to any suggestion that the athletes be given anything but expenses and medals for their competition. The Nearest sort of a compromise that might be reached would be a decision to allow each nation to make Its own amateur rules within reasonable bounds. When Swedish offictals sald last winter that they were willing to pay the athletes their regular civi- lan salary while they were compet ing, England said that she would not allow her athletes to compete against any nation that permitted any such violation of the spirit of amateurism. Some amusing features would at- tend the payment of the athletes. It would be surprising to observe thc number of carpenters, paper hangers taxi-drivers and clerks who applied for compensation at the rate of a civilian salary of $10,000 a year. The United States is supposed to have some very lofty {deas about ered a lot of bunk In some Puro pean countries. Paria had a lot of fun last fall when M Helen Wills accepted an automobile that was given to he@ by admirers, and Lon. dan couldn't understand why Bil’ Tilden could be making $15,000 or $20,000 a year as a tennis wrtter.

BROWN OF YALE SYS DAT DE WORLO ue LIGHTER GOLF BALL ADOPTED FOR DISCUSSION IN BY AMERICANS DOES NOT MEET _NEW PAY PROPOSAL By LAWRENCE PERRY. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—Informa- tion drifting across the ocean from England indicates that British golt- ers have not accepted with good spirit the action of the United States Gold association in legislating in fayor of a larger and lighter- golf ball. Americans were given to under stand by the U. 8. G. A. that the understanding with the Roya) and Ancient was intact and that the American body was merely hurry- ing ahead in an action which the old country would follow in its own good time. Apparently this is not the case. It seems that the British rules com- mittee had—or thought it had—a clear understanding with the U. 8. G. A. that a change would not be recommended unless both bodies were agreed as to the wisdom of the policy. From time to time the American committees communicated with the British committee giving results of te experiments and, in turn, was TH FAVOR AMONG BRITISHERS similarly advised by the Britons. Then, out of the clear blue, comes the American thunderbolt. Instead of giving three British hur- hs for the initiative of the Amer- icans, the British seem to have ac- epted the action tn the light of a defi. “You can either follow our atti- tude, or we part company.” R. Endersby Howard, the emi- nent British golf writer, {s author. ity for the statement that the Brit. ish committee has reached a deci sion that it does not approve of the now ball. This being the case, it looks indeed as though golfera of the two countries have reached a parting of the ways. “Until recent times,” says Mr. Howard, “the United States—like every Other country—has recognized St. Andrews as the fountain head of the game and all its customs and rules. There has been no openly ex- pressed desire to change this order; but anybody in touch with the in: ternational situation recognizes that tue executive committee of the Unit- ed States Golf association feels im- First in News He say DAT 10.000 YEQRS FROM NOW EACH Of All Events WELL, [Lt NEVER Say THAT E WAS BoRNTop SOON HA, HAY — Copyright, 1935, by The Ball Symficets, Ine.) portant enough nowadays to do as {t pleases and be hanged to the tra- ditional standards of St. Andrews, “Perhaps this is a natural feel, ing, seeing that the U. 8 G. A claims to have the allegiance of two million playere—which is probably three times the number of golfers tn Britain—and that Americans have gained nearly all the honors in In ternational competition during the last four seasons. “We will assume It is not discour- tefy but simply that the United States has grown up, so far as con- cerns golf and wants to free itself from all apron strings.” Already there has been one unfor- tunate result. Folk: in England are raising the absurd question wheth- er the resolution in favor of the larger and lighter ball has been taken to check the sale of British balls in the American market. The British balls, now used by the hun- dreds of thousands in this coun*) try, will be illegal when the new rules go into effect because of their size and weight. Of course, British manufacturers can conform to our rules but It is questioned on the other side whether they wll be fa- vorably regarded by Americans as are the present imported balls That is a sweet innuendo, is it not? Yet, that is the sort of thing that rises when two countries or two anything get into a sporting controversy. “Meet _me_ at the Smokehouse.” MASCART WILL MEET KAPLAN PARIS, Feb. 10.—The sporting pa per “L'Auto” says Edouard Mas cart's manager, M.
