ENNIS STAR SD SNOBBIG Young Women Receive No Encouragement From Leaders. By LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright, 1925, Casper Trilune) NEW YORK, Aug. 26,— Women tennis stars are the most, snobbish crowd of women in the world, So at least avers a woman who used to beat most of them when they were in their early. stages of development and then retired from play for sev- ern! years Pp She returned to tourney play this year. and while she did not get any farther than she expected, she played very good tennis and is satisfied that next season she will go higher in the navional- tournament than she did this yenr, “Coming back to the game," she said, ‘I noticed many things that did not obtain when I was tn the full swing of things.

That was all he feeded apparently, No one questions his own ability. , Back in 1922, when the Athletics were still wallowing around in. the league bettems the Mackmen fin- ished the season with a total of 65 3 year what he la victories. Rommel won 27 of these —or a trifle over 49 per cent of the wins his team collected. He lest but 14, a remarkable showing under the conditions, The following year he had high hopes of repeating but fatled to hit his stride. His ‘stuff seemed to be there at times, but he couldn't use his knuckle ball to advantage and when he did the team went to pot behind him. Last year he emerged in the winning last, his defeats totalling but 34 for the two years, against his 36 wins. Over the span of five and a half seasons that Rommel has been with e Mackmen, however, he has hung up over 100 victories, and consider- ably less than 100 defeats have been charged against him, He is probably the best fielding pitcher in baseball today, which adds greatly to his own worth and to his worth as apart of the team play. Slim .Harriss’s success in at last finding the end of pitching rainbow has played a big part in the syceess of the Mackmen this season. 7° Young Sammy Gray has played an’ important role, The Mackmen STATE RIFLE TEAM NAMED BY GOVERNOR CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 26.— Governor Ross has announced the civilian rifle team which is to repre- Wyoming at the national matches which are to be held at Camp Perry, ©., August 40 to Sep. tember 20 inclusive.

FOSTER. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Aug. 26,-—Not even the stirring American Association races of the past attracted more at tention than hag the race for the pennant in the Southern Association in the present year, Last week's battle, with New Orleans leading the pack, resulted in a gain of four percentage points by the Crescent City team. It needy ed all it got because Atlanta got 13 points. Mind, too, that Nashville gained 20 points during the week. Memphis gained seven, so it is evi- dent that the firts division clubs were putting in the best they had for reven straight days. The so-called scandal of the South. ern Association js too hazy just now for an expression of opinion to be timely, It isin the hands of Judge Landis and what information the high commissioner of baseball has to William H, make public will establish whether this was merely another instance of « player talking through his hat or hether {it was something more serious The Western league is another of the minors which still wages a real battle for the pennant and the Des Moines club, which has taken the lead, isso well liked by some of the would not be where they are now had the not turned in that remark- able string of victories early in tha seasoh, and then comeback to win- ning form after his injury. Rube Walberg has been rendering yeoman serVice as a relief pitcher. And the added etarter, old Jack Quinn, is now getting due credit for his valuable’ services. But, when ‘all is sald gnd done, Eddie “Remmiel has been the man behind the gun for Connie Mack— Just, as he Was In tho disappointing years fhat prédéded what now seems to be a partial realization of Connie Mack's hopes—a great team. I wonder if Bill Tilden, champ, and Bobby Jones, ruler of the amateur golfers of this fair land, now .facing the defense of their tl- tles, have given any thought to the fate of champions in the main title events staged in sports so far this year? Verily, the going has been rough for those who wore the crowned headpieces and ermine cloaks at the beginning of the current year 1925. Defeat visited the kings in many branches of ‘sport The year hadn't been very old when Willie Hoppe, perennial holder of the balk line billiard title, took a beating at the hands and cue of Young Jake Schaefer Before the summer season got un- der way there had been a change in fistic circles. Eddie “Cannon Ball” Martin got bounced off the bantam bulwarks by Charley “Phil Rosen- berg. Tho fact that Mr. Rosenberg has been # very mediocre champ does not change the fact that he wears the crown by right of conquest—or did when this was written. One never can tell about that crown, It has moved oftener than a race gam- bler’s watch, Sénegalese Has tah Then Mike McTigue lost his worth- less light heavyweight title td Paul Berlenbach and wished him luck with the derned thing. Getting into Tilden's realm, Jean Borotrg, winner of the British toyr- ney last year, felt that his honors were secure when Tilden and other American stars did not participate in this year's meet there. But he went down to defeat before one of his own countrymen, Rene LaCoste. Cyril Walker became ex-open champion of the U. 8. when Willie MacFarlane beat Bobble Jones in the finals of the national match that went 36 extra holes. This may not be all the changes, but this list in itself is enough to make a neryous person a bit worried. Of course there were various cir- cumstances attending thera defeats which ried in the many cases, Martin had won the crown with noth- ing in his repertoire but @ terrific wallop and a willingness to take ev- erything but the ringside seats in his efforts to land a wallop. It was acineh bet that a clever boxer coyld steer clear of him and pepper him to death. Mike McTigue won his title from wild man who trainga tennison liquor and didn't know the Mar- quis of Queensbury rules from the Sultan of Sulu. But Borotra, at his best, met a better man—better that day at least —and bowed to him. Jyst when the world Jay at his feet. Jones played remarkable golf—the kind of golf that only Bobby can play in competition—only to a steady, quiet student of the game, match him hole for hole through two days and beat him. What if Tilden, when the big test comes, runs into La Coste, Borotra, even Little Bill Johnston, when > one he meets Is at his best? What if Jesse Sweetser, Francis Oulimet, Chick Evans, or one of the other simon pure finds Fate.amiling on him in the amateur golf classic and plays as men do but once or twice in a life-time? These champs who st{ll must’ de- fend their titles might give the mat- ter some consideration. And, of course, there is the plight of Babe Ruth to consider. After reigning supreme {n the home-run land for years this Mighty Emperor of Swat finds himself yankéd one day for a pinch hitter, while Rogers Hornsby slams his way to the front ranks as a four-bi jocker, Which may or may not be added to the list. French fried potatoes rather than the fofm of any given opponent, ended Babe's reign. Club Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE other cities of the cirouit that they are beginning to say Des Moines will beat Denver out, Denver looked very good a short tine ago. The team seemed to have settled down to a regular pennant baseball after fussing around for a while, as teams will in the early part of the year.
