DISTRICT LOVELL, Wyo., March %+-The istrict high sclwol basketball tour- nament held In this city eoncludeu a three-day series of games with the Cowley quintet adjudged win ners of the elimination contest, and the championship of the Big Horn basin conference. Nine schools were represented, in- cluding Cody, Powell, Byron, Cowley, Lovell, Greybull, Basin, Worland, and Thermopolls. Owing to the un- even number of teams and severa! tie games, three contestants were still in the running; Cowley, Lovell and Worland and as this was the last session of the schedule it wa: required that two of the quintets play a game and the winner tmmed- jately play the third. As this would be obviously in favor of the third team, various other arrangements were offered, Lovell agreeing to for- felt, deaving Wor'and and Cowley to play the final, but Cowley refused to contest any but the winning team on the ground that Cowley had not drawn a rest during the tournament and this was sustained by the offi- cials, Lovell and Worland then took the floor, with the result that Worland won 12-4, which left Worland to play the final with Cowley. In the first half Worland put up a brilliant game, standing 10-2, but in the second the Worland boys seemed to collapse from the strain of overwork and the end of the match found the score 20 to 14 in favor of Cowley.

(By the As sociated Press).—Until last season's stirring, campaign, the experts who had been predicting annually that Vincent Richards would break through to the top of the tennis heap had little real cause for satis: faction. In fact a conviction had become pretty well grounded that he would never reach the ultimate peak, but as though catching his second wind, Richards leaped for- ward in 1924 with such startling strides that he dislodged “Little Bill" Johnston from the number 2 ranking position and came perilous ly close to toppling “Big Bill Til- den in the national championship singles. There remained no doubt in the minds of observers at the close of last seagon that Richards had ‘“ar- rived.” ‘This year, with the natural expectation of further Improvement in his game, he stands out as the one player having the best chance of threatening ‘Tilden’s five-year reign. Observers here do not over- look the possibility of a comeback by Johnston, who forms the remaining Unk of America’s “Big Three," but the Californian has passed his peak while Richards, young, ambitious and confident, is on the upgrade. DUSTER MLS lo NEW HOPE OF CARDINALS Brings Good Luck to Team He Plays With, Claim BY JOHN B, FOSTER (By D. P. L. W. Copyright 1925) STOCKTON, Calif, March 3.— The St. Louls Cardinals are making their spring training headquarters here. Tho eyes of everybody in the lobby of the hotel centered on an immaculate young fellow who looked Uke a movie actor. Who? Duster Mails, hope of the Cardinals. This southpaw who was a butter. fy In 1920 but a moth next year may put the collection of batting thunder that {s under Branch Rick- ey'’s direction very much tn the running for the Golden Jubilee pen- nant, Duster was surrounded by those who had the pleasure of shaking his hands before and with those who anticipated the pleasure for the first time. It {s seldom that a Player, especial'y one who has had as many ups and downs as Mails, turns up looking so well in the spring. And he was feeling well, too, and full of confidence of the brand that he wore when he broke in for Cleveland that eventful fall and pitched Brook'yn Into the ditch when the Clevelands ended their first championship tn history by al- most making a clean sweep of the warld series. “I am glad to get back in the big league clrcult again,” said the Dus- ter. ‘This time I am going to re- main, If I don't have any physical misfortune, I shall be with Branch Rickey until the Cardinals win a championship.” “Then you are sentenced for life,” said a kidder, “Maybe not," Malls shot back. “T've been with one major league championship team and with one world series winner. I bring good luck wherever I go. Oakland did not win a pennant in 1924 but the club made money and I guess that goes for something.” Mails obviously has learned a few things in a year or so. It {s not to be self-asertive. Another is to learn better the cunning of his arm. should happer pon his first great ye: awe of unlimited sk he may turn the bal- ance so mt toward success for St. Louis this time, with ite Present makeup, will return to the position it held in 1922 when it was & fighting villain which, though it did not win a pennant for itself, robbed other teams of one.

(United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, March 3§.—Jack Dunn {is the most prosperous and most successful manager in the minor league: Perhaps he is the most successful manager in base. ball. He owns and manages the Baltimore Orioles and he is the big power of the International league. With the Baltimore team out of th league, it hardly could exist. He has won six consecutive pennants, 2 record for all time in any league. Dunn ts the greatest developer of young players in baseball. He has made a regular business of it and in recent years he has been paid about $350,000 for players -that cost him hardly more than the well‘known dime. Babe Ruth was hia most fa- mous product, but the money he got for him @ mere pittance to the price pald him for Jack Bentley and Lefty Groves, two southpaw pitch: ers that came out of the Dunn school. Dunn's talent in discovering and deveolping players is almost un+ canny. He has no great scouting system like some of the major league clubs and he depends almost eutirely upon tips from his friends Some of his best players wrote to him as rookies, asking for work. He ways makes a point to answer them and investigate each case. He could have been in the major leagues and perhaps he would have been successful in a corresponding degree, but he prefers to remain in the minors and be happy. peters ee os Jesse Burkett in his day fas a Great batsman, and none of the past or present stars of the game cloter student of batting t Lett, known the Crab long before John Evers acquired that eobriquet.

Of course at this distance, it {x difficult to eay how serious the pli ers have been tn their efforts for victory, but since there never was a pro golfer that enjoyed being de feated, there is not the « slightest doubt {n the writer's mind that the four men have been up against Dame Fortune when she was {n her most whimsical mood. It meant four golfers groomed for competition, fit and ready. And when four stellar golfers’feel that wi how can they defeat one another?
