Major Sport Program at Paris Olympic Tournament Is Nearly Completed

VYANK athletes hang TO COMFORTABLE LEAD U. S, Athletes Acid Tennis, Swimming and Boxing Titles to List —Wild Scenes at Fistic Bouts. By HENRY L. FARRELL United Pres* Staff Correspondent PARIS. July 21.—Having added the tennis, swimming and boxing championships to the already long list of titles won at the eighth Olympiad, America’s athletes looked about them today with few worlds left to conquer.

Our men's doubles won this afternoon and added another title to thoso won by Helen Wills, Vincent Richards. and Miss Wills and Mrs. Wightman. Aside from tennis, the major sports were practically completed. Helen and Yinnnie * Triumphs by IS-year-old Helen Wills and young Vincent Richards in the finals of the women's and men's singles Sunday gave the United States a certain claim on the Olympic championship. Miss Wills beat Mile. Vlasto, a diminutive French girl of Greek extraction. 6-2, 6-2, in a match in which the American girl was always the winner. Richards took the measure of Henri Cochet of Franc.e 6-4. 6-4. 5-7, 4-6, 6 2. By winning thirteen final events b the Olympic swimming meet at ■,es Tourelles. out of seventeen contested, the American mermen and mermaids won the championship with something to spare. The Swim Standing The final swim standing showed the United States leading with 217 points, w hile Sweden, which was second, had but SS. Great Britain scored 50; Australia. 35; France. 17: Belgium. 13. and there was a smattering of other minor points scoring on the part of ten other nations. The new Olympic swim champions among the Americans are; MEN 100 meter free style. Johnny Weissmu tier. 100 meter hack stroke. Warren Kealona. ‘IOO mt ,er breast stroke. Robert D. Skelton. 400 mater free style.. Johnny Weissmuller. Fancy h'zh divine. Albert White. Springboard fancy diving. Albert White. WOMEN 100 meter free style. Ethel Lackie. 100 meter back stroke. Sybal Bauer. 400 meter free style Martha Norelms Fancy hirh diving. Elizabeth Beeker. Plain high diving. Caroline Smith. The American swimmers broke four world's records and set ten new Olympic marks. Although the boxing finals at the Velodrome d’ Hiver were characterized by weird decisions and nearly ended in a riot, the United States boxers (who by the way got none the best of the decisions), won the Olympic ring title with 38 points to 30 for Great Britain. Denmark was third with 20 joints. I Two Yanks Win <*i'Lnbart;. Angeles, and ■ack Fields, Los Angeles, won the flyweight and featherweight titles respectively—the only Americans to win individual champiort3hips. Our fighters piled up point, for second and third places. The victories of Helen Wills and Vincent Richards over their French opponents were particularly welcome. in view of the attitude adopted by the French spectators since the matches started. The United States is certain to add the mixed doubles title to the string, for Richards and Mrs. Jessup meet R. Norris Williams and Mrs. Wightman in the finals.

The runner on first is of the c pinion that it will fall safe and dashes f>r second. The outfielder makes the catch. The runner on third, who has held his base, starts for home the moment the fly ball strikes the hand of the outfielder.

The fielder makes a fine sic. bents the runner to the ■ tag. completing a double p ay *:.d retiring ■ the side The runner on third has crossed w | ste before ti.c final out is made. Doe sthe run count? If so. why?-—B. M. 2 What :s regarded as a force play? Please explain.—B. M. ANSWERS 1. The run positively counts, if the runner from third has crossed the plate before the third out. Many fans have the impression that a run cannot score on a double play that retires the side. That is erroneous. If it is a double play in which the third out is a force the run doesn't count. There is no force about the above play. One player makes the proper play, while the other runs wild and is doubled. A run cannot score on a play in which the batter fai's to reach finer for the third out or the third out is a force play. The play you cite is neitner. 2. A force play can only happen when base runners are compelled to advance to make room for the batsman. BARTEE ON MAT PROGRAM Conductor Grappler to Meet Held Here Next Monday. Claude Bartee, light heavyweight street car conductor, who has been winning his matches in quick time, has been selected to meet Omar Held, ex-Conference champion of Indiana University, in one of the three wrestling matches to be held at the Broadway Theater next Monday night. It will be the first professional engagement of the Indiana *‘U” athlete. Matty Matsuda of Japan lias been signed to appear in the wind-up of the card. Matchmaker Diggs of the Broadway A. C. is still after Jack Reynolds to give the Jap a return match, but as yet has not received a favorable reply.

‘WILD BULL OF PAMPAS’ IS LASSOED BY OFFICERS Authorities Hold Firpo and South American Senorita — Luis Says 'He’ll Take Dempsey Next Time,’ By JACK DARROCK United Press Staff Correspondent . 1 ~ . . ... ~ XKW YORK, July 21. —Quite a dashing and debonair ‘hull of the Pampas” was the towering Seuor Luis Angel Firpo who arrived here today aboard the Munsen Liner American Legion—an altogether changed Firpo from the sullen, awkward-figure who came last year and worked his way to a $200,000 sock on the chin from Jack Dempsey.

Luis has toned his dress and hlsf spirits up. but his optimism remained unchanged. “I’m going to take Dempsey next ■ time,” said Firpo—in Spanish—“l'm i going to take the championship] home. Dempsey Was Lucky “I feel Dempsey was quite lucky last time and that I can beat him.". Firpo was questioned by immigration authorities and had not left the ship several minntes after other jassengers began to disembark. A young woman listed on thej ship's register as Senorita Blanca j Lourdes, who embarked at Buenos! Aires, also waa questioned. The young woman traveled in a! state room next that of the heavyweight, it was said, and they were friendly during the voyage. V Peculiar Ticket .Senorita Lourdes’ ticket read to Havana, but she was obliged to come from Buenos Aires to New York because the American Legion does not stop at Havana. Firpo and the woman were held together in the dining room of the liner, while half a dozen customs and immigration officials subjected both to severe questioning. At one time the woman declared she was the prize fighter's secretary, hut was unablct to shew any knowledge of shorthand or typewriting. Taken to Island Immigration officials completed questioning of the prize fighter an-1 the woman shortly before 1 p. m. and announced they would be taken to Ellis Island after lunch on a technical charge of Improper vises on their passports. Eduardo Carbone, Firpo's manager. and Migeul Serrar, a sparring partner, also will be taken to Ellis Island and held as material witnesses. BLACK GOLD IS BEATEN Rob Tail, Outsider.

Billy Evans Says

Br* ASEBALL history proves that when some outsider stepped i___ ,n and won a major league pennant the play of that club was Invariably featured by an unusual winning streak. In 1906 the Chicago White Sax. then known ts the "Hitless Wonders," won an American league pennant and further upset the dope by defeating the supposedly invincible Cubs in the world series. A winning streak of nineteen consecutive games featured the play of the Sox. The run of victories came at a time when no one was giving Chicago much consideration. It put them at the top and they fliflshed there. IGHT years later the Boston Braves, a rank outsider in the i l race for the National I.eague_ pennant, captured that honor. Going nowhere in the middle of the season, the team suddenly started to play as if inspired, put over several big winning streaks and surprised the baseball world by finishing out in front. That spirit was carried into the world series. The Braves defeated the Athletics in four straight games. Sport enthusiasts who play hunches are wondering if the recent sensational spurt of the Washington club will work out as did the rush of the White Sox and the Braves, winning of a pennant. DURING the sensational run of victories by the White Sox in of the games that featured the winning streak. Remarkable pitching, in which Ed Walsh was the outstanding star, played a prominent part in the club’s success. Added to the fine pitching was a good defense. The “Hitless Wonders” seldom made many runs, but didn’t need them with such great pitching. It so happened that I was the umpire during the recent sensational winning streak of the Nationals, in which they captured ten straight, also talcing seventeen out of nineteen games before being stopped by New York in a double-header. Observing closely the play of the Washington club, while it was staging its thrilling spurt, I was reminded of the play of the Chicago White Sox of 1906.

ILLINOIS HANDS OUT DIPLOMAS IN COACHES’ SCHOOL Four-Year Course and Degree at Sucker Institution for Embryo Mentors, By SEA Service URBAN A. 111.. July 21 —More and more red-blooded young American) j who like sports and outdoor life are ; looking to athletic coaching as an inviting profession. When the University of Illinois ■ established a four-year course in j athletic coaching and granted a de gree oft bachelor of science to those i who completed the w’ork, this was regarded as a revolutionary step In j academic circles. Now most educators concede that i an athletic coach should be trained j just like an Engineer. lawyer, physi- 1 clan, .'earher and so on* ( Illinois has just graduated its sec-1 ond class of embryonic roaches — j twenty three of them. “One of the most interesting facts demonstrated is that a man does not have to be a star alhlete to j be a good coach." says George Huff, founder and director of the four year course. “The prospective coach must hav some aptitude in sports so that he can play them, but ho does not have to bp good enough to 'dp varsity player.

INDIANS FACE BREWERS TO CLOSE ROAD JAUNT Tribe Will Be Home Friday to Play Yankees —K, C. Twin Bill Sunday Is Divided, Ownie Bush and his Indians were in Milwaukee today to open ar four-day series with the Brewers. The Tribe tossers close their road trip in the Cream City and they will be home Friday to meet the New York Yankees in an exhibition game. Louisville is carded to open a series at Washington Park Saturday.

The Hoosiers wound up their series in Kansas City with two contests' Sunday and the twin bill ivas divided. The Tribe won the first struggle, 10 to 1, but lost in the second skirmish when Wilkinson blanked them, 1 to 0. Burwell ~was the Indians' winning pitcher and Niles suffered the defeat. ( A wild throw by Niles (n the fourth inning paved the way for the Blues ’ victory run. The Tribe hurler twirled great ball, but Wilkinson was slightly better. The Blues got six hits and the Indians four. Georgs Smith finished on the Tribe mound when Niles retired for a pinch hitter in the eighth. Manager Bush changed his batting order Sunday and the ahift got results in the first contest of the afternoon. Bailey was in the leadoff position and Campbell was dropped in the list to eighth place. Hodapp was moved up to fifth. The attendance was 13,000 at the Sunday attraction. Evidently the K. C. fans have decided to support Dr. La van’s hoys. The Saturday game was postponed on account of rain. The Louisville Colonels took the A. A. lead Saturday by winning a double-header from the Brewers. The Saints are second and the Tribe third. The Colonels made a fine gain over the week-end, winning three and tying one. A major league club is paying close attention to the work of Johnny Hodapp. the Tribe’s kid second string shortstop, but the Indianapolis club officials have been unable to discover the identity of the big league team interested- Several major outfits have admitted some interest in the eighteen-yea r-old i player, but one club in particular has gone to great lengths to collect Jill possible datii,on the la'd. Hodapp played in the K. I. O. Sunday league last season and a few days ago a major scout visited Cincinnati and looked up Hodapp's 1923 record. In the first fracas of the LouisvilleMilwaukee double-header Sunday Estell was announced as the Colonel pitcher by mistake. He had to pitch to one batter as per rules, and then Koob succeeded him. Tyson, Colonel center fielder, made an unassisted double play in the second game.
