When St. James. last Futurity win-

ceded to him by practically all horse
men. Mr. G. D. Widener's colt ran
past the champion sprinter with ri-
diculous ease and finished out the
practically record
time and in a fashion to prove him-
self equal to carrying stake weight
to any reasonable dislance. It is just
possible that if St. James had not
- gone wrong his presence would have
scored out of the I’rcakncss a num-
her that have since been named to
go to the post. By the same token
the elimination of Sarazen from the
Derby should assure a far greater
representation from our multiomil-
lionaire stables of the East.

By‘11-3 Score—Dick
Warm On the Mound

The East Ends opened their sea-
son at Noroton yesterday afternoon
with a 11-3 victory over the str‘orig
team of that place.

\Varm had the Noroton team at
his mercy throughout the game and
deserved a. shutout. He held his op-
ponents to six hits and struck- out
10 men, while the opposing pitcher
allowed 1 3hits and sent 10 of the
East Norwalk boys down by :way of
the strikeout route.

The batting honors of the game
went to "Chick” Buschbaum, who
swatted out three two-beggars.

The trip to Noroton was ~rK§.de
without "Eddie" Prince,- McGuin-
ncss and Blackman, 'who will be in"
the lineup next Sunday. .

The East End team shapes up as
a very strong aggregation and will
igvc a very good account of them-
selves this season wherever they go.

proximating $75,000. and therefore
is a prize worth the mest serious
effort. The fact that these two big
races will be run within a period of
five days, in the opinion of horse-

Cooper has already arrived at the
track with his speed creation. a \l\'-
id robiu's egg blue in color. On his
initial spin he fanned the bricks at
a 100.3 miles an hour gait.

In the days of yesteryear—when
Johnny Alike-n, Gill Anderson. 'l‘onl
Rooney, Dadio Resin. and Barney
Oldfield were the stars in automo-
bile racing's electric lights—Cooper
was a star of the first water.

He was a first placer in the siz—
zling road races as Well as on spe-
cially constructed speedways. Then
he went into retirement and it‘low-
ed the'rnore prosaic existance of a
business man on the Pacific Coast.

Suddenly he announced his return
to the track. That was two years
ago. He jumped into Joe Thomas'
car the day of the Fresno, Cal, race
after Thomas was striken with ap-

pendicits and had to submit to s
trackside operation.
‘Cooper drove the car into first

place ships the group of spccders

his retirement a lesson in the art

quired number of times in the short-
cst period.

He was second in the Kansas City
Fourth of July race last year, and
second at Beverly Hills, Loe Angels
in 1922. Cooper’s best run at Indian
apolis was in 1915 when he ran
fourth. In 1914 he was the road race
champ. .

Cooper is of the studious. mt\ha-
nical type, keeps a detailed series
of charts and notes on the actions of
his racing car. These should be in-
valuable to the Studebaker Corpora-
tion. under whose banner Cooper is
racing.

STAMFORD GAME
_IS POSTPONED

The Stamford-Norwalk ‘hlgh
school baseball game, which was
scheduled to be held, in the Lock
City on Saturday was cancelled bc-
causc of a muddy field. No date
has yet bccn arranged for the post-
poned contest.

The locals were all set for this
game and if old Jupiter Pluvlus had
not exerted his malign influences
they might have made it their sec-
ond win of the season.

The next. game on the Green and
\Vhlte card is that with the Bridge-
port Trade school tcam which will
be played at Amusement Park on
Tuesday. Norman I’lewwellin will
most‘probably be on the mound for
the Green group.

It is probable that the Stamford
match may be played on Thursday.
Coach Fcrrol B. Green of the West
avenue institution told a reporter
this morning that he is now nego-
tiating with Coach Michael A. Boyle
for this date.

America's supremacy in interna-
tional track and field athletics is
shown vividly in figures ,wlllch show
the nations holding world's records
in the major events. Ninety-nine
world‘s records in these main events
are recognized by the International
Amateur Athletic Federation. Of
these marks athletes representing
the U. S. hold 35.

These 35 records include five in
the jumping events. four in the
weights one in the Javelin and dis-
cus events (which are grouped). 13
in the runs. four in the hurdles and
eight in the relay events.

Great Britain ranks second with
25, Finland with 2 comes third.
These three countries stand out head
and shoulders above the other na-
tions who sent real representative
teams to the international games.

But both Great Britain and Fin-
land loom up stronger than ever as
the teams are being rounded out for
the coming Olympic contestc. Am-

DEMPSEY MUCH CONCERNEDl

MUS-MADDEN" BOUT D .

 

His Brother Will Cover

Knockout — 20,000

Jack Dempsey is much concerned
in Hum Wills’s fifteen round bout
with Bartley Madden at the new
Queensboro stadium to night. Proof
of this was shown when he wired
his brother Johhny who is in New
York to be present at the ring side
tomorrow and view very closely ev-
ery move of the Black Panther, and
report everything back to him.
Johnny got the telegram order
too late to go and see how Wills
shaped up in his training quarters
at Billy Grupp's gymnasium. and so
secured tickets to get the close-up
when the dark man meets the Irish
champion.

That's evidence of the respect in
which the world's champion holds
Wills. and that he wants to know
what he must expect when he moms
him in the proposed championship
bOIK on Sept. 6. Incidentally. Johnny
Dempsey says his brother told him
he was now doing light training and
would be prepared to step into the
heavy work when called upon to do
so.

Probably no man could be secur-
ed tr make Wills extend himself
more fully than Madden, who in
point of size and general measure-l
meats figures close to the champion ,
himself. How Wills will handle the
Irishman will give the 20,000 who

Jimmy Slattery, Buffalo's pride, and
Jack Lynch of Arizona. being re-
garded as a. preliminary to a match
which will involve the light heavy—
weight championship at a very
near date.

The two four round bouts one be:
tween Joe Silvani and Fred Mace
and the other between Tommy \\'int
and Al Studdy being important be-
cause one _of them may be on the
proposed international team next
fall. .

Says Bartlsy Madden:

I have knocked more big six-foot-
ers in the game than any other
fighter and I expect to do the same
with Harry Wills tonight. Joe Jean~
otte was stopped by me in four
rounds and I consider him a better
man than Wills ever was or will be

hm better today than the night I
beat Jeanette and for that reason

, . =11 will knock out Wills be-
' _‘tenth round is ended. Rest
, -_ that if any fighter hits the
ow it .will not be me.

'11 and me as strong as himself.
and able to hit just as hard. I'm
ready for-any kind of a fight.
Soy- Hsrry Wills:

tonight’with Bartley Madden. I'll
welsh about 215‘ pounds. It's ab-

surd sometimes to predict Just when
a. fight will end. but rest .assured
that-r11 win as quickly as possible.
I muse ‘that‘Madden is a rough.
tough'fellow, but in the condition I
am. I expect to soften the Irishman
up as he rnever\ws.s softened before
and send him crumpling to the mat
early in the fight. The result means
much to me ’and I'll spare nothing
to make my victory clean-cut and
decisive. The bout tonight is 'my
first on my way up to meet Demp-
serisnd I'll let nothing interfere
with my plans; Inn: to snow that
I an worthy of. that fight with
