Demands of U. S. Skaters Turned Down by Olympic Committee j By Associated Press. Chamonix, France, Jan. 24.—Seri rus differences have arisen in the lllympic skating compel itions, in volving the Americans, who, as the situation appeared tonight, may not lake part in the speed events on Sat urday. There is a dispute over the granting of an extra trainer's badge for use by Clarence Carman, Ameri can professional bicycle rider, whom AVilliam Taylor, the American man ager, Insists shall be permitted to art Is a trainer during the games. The French Olympic committee haa re fused such permission and the quea tion remained unsettled this evening. If the deadlock contango between Mr. Taylor and the French Olympic committee, the participation of the American speed skaters is considered extremely doubtful unless some elev enth hour formula is found to recon cile the opposing positions. | The members of the American team Ire unanimous in upholding Taylor. They say his word is law to them and ■ - * that they will not take the Ice If he maintains his present order. "The incident may seem trifling to the home folks,” Mr. Taylor said this evening, "but it is question of prin ciple and also of the manner in which my request was refused. I know of no Olympic rule preventing the en gaging of the services of a pro fesslonal trainer, or limiting the num ber, provided they aro kept within reasonable limits. The French com mittee will have to come to me.” Allen H. Huhr, in behalf of the French Olympic committee, expressed deep regret at the unfortunate in cident, saying: "I am sorry but we cannot allow the Americans privileges not granted to other teams. If we permit three American trainers, the French will want six." iWth the arrival of the British and Swedish athletes today all the na tions entered in the winter sports have their full teams on the ground. The organizers are praying-for cold weather, so that the skating competi tion may be started on schedule time.

Dam/itfunyoris Colmmini New York, Jan. 24.—Two interest ing letters from basket hall fans, tell ing of the prowess of the original Celtics, world's professional basket ball champions. One letter is from J. J. Borah, editor of (lie Ketail .Accounting Maga zine of Freeport, I.. I., who says: “I was glad to see you start a discussion of basket ball. It is a sport that calls for all the skill any human can bring forth, and yet It does not get the attention of the sporting departments of newspapers that it deserves. “It appears that you desire to give credit wherever it is due, and to ac knowledge championship ability. Therefore, I call your attention to the original Celtics. "For the entire basket ball season they travel all over the country, play ing every team that will book them; playing the rules prevalent In the community In which they happen to stop; playing In a different town or city every night and sometimes play ing as many as three games In one day. . "Vet seldom do they meet defeat. I do not know the statistics of the performances, but I do know that personally the players are wonderful fellows, physical marvels and not one of them has the ‘swell head.’ “Influences met them Inst year on their way to Cleveland to play the main game on Washington's birthday. They played before 22,000 persons and won easily. They were the same reg ular fellows leaving the town us when they came In. "This year they are going back to play In tho same place on the same dny, and I am going to make the trip from New York to see them. "They are what you call ‘money players' In the sense that when the odds arc against them Ihey play their best. They always have a chance to win until the time whistle blows. "Just one more boost for them: Every one of their games Is strictly on the level. That's more than can he said about a lot of other profes sional sporting champions." Tlie other letter cornea from E. II. Shipmun of this city, evidently a basket ball fan and admirer of Un original Celtics, us ardent ns >lr. Doran. lie says I lie team is composed of native New Yorkers, and it is gener ally conceded by basket ball followers to be the greatest aggregation of Un kind ever got together, Unit outside of New York draws big crowds. "It is a wonderful sight to sc® this team," lie writes. "With three or four minutes (o go and a few points la-hind, they cut loose and sweep their opponents away as If they were chaff, "When It Is realized that these players have met all coiner* undog both professional and amateur rules and lu two seasons liavo lost only 1.1 games out of 30(1 played, you will admit they are worthy of a place in the sport columns." W ill'll tin- basket hall dlseiission Hint has lieen going on in tlm column late ly was first slnrtrd by the writer call ing nUenUnn to (lie world record of 125 consecutive victories made liy (lie hams of I’assaic (N. .1.) High school, lie had mi Idea of tin- interest In basket ball. Tile discussion has produced leiters from all over tho country, mini every city in which this column is printed in a newspaper, from the west roast, the far south, and from all over the east. Gentlemen who read the sport col umns but are not interested in basket ball must be interested in the fact that tlie discussion lias brought thous ands of letters. They will know from this that there is a game with a huge following more feverish than baseball or pugilistic fans. Champions Win and Lose.

Strililing. who fought MrTiffii# to s draw in a bout at Columbus, Ga., lftst October, already has agreed to the match, according to Blaufush, while terms have been cabled Carpentler.

Differ ences between the pair have widened since the Stribling bout in Georgia when they split over financial mat ters and resulted in blocking several matches. Today, however, McTigue settled obligations to Jacobs by pay ment of 16,600 to the latter, who In turn tore up a managerial contract which did not expire until next Au gust.

The match origlnally'was scheduled for Decemlier at Madison Square Garden, but was canceled be cause of Mike's tilt with Jacobs. RACING&ESOLTS Yesterday's Results. TIAJIAN'A.

Chicago, Jan. 24.—Willie Hoppe of New York, by defeating Young Jako Bchaefer of Han Francisco, 1,500 to 1,196 in a challenge match last night, retained his title as world's 18.2 balk line billiard champion. With but one exception, Hoppe has had the cham pionship since 1912. The exception was in 1921 when Schaefer won it from Hoppe only to lose It again a year later.

Hoppe drew three blanks, three of one each, two of two and one of three. Both men played a tight game and the low innings were due in part to bad leaves. However, not until toward the end of the game did either man show championship form. Hoppe was challenged by Eduard Horemans. Belgian cue star, who fin ished fourth in the tournament at New York last year. The champion accepted and will play Horemans within 60 days. Lynch Kayoes Parky Owens.

Charnquist. Othmer, Crabb, Zust .Swanson, Holm and Boder will mak* the trip. « EXTRA PANTS FREE! —even with the Overcoat A HISTORY MAKING SALE —---Editorial Harry Sayt— If winter had come a little sooner, this sals would not have hap pened.
