Hurdle Race in 15 Seconds—Rainfall Prevents Sprinters
From Making Fast Time.
lOLOMBES 6TAD
I U M , FRANCE.
July 9. — Four
United States
(printers came
through the semi
finals heats In the
200-meter dash In
grand shape to
day and will con
test the final with
Harold Ahrahams
and Liddell, the
British aces.
Ahrahams was
defeated for the
first time In a
sprint since the games started, the
Englishman finishing behind Jacob V.
Scholz, New York A. C., and George
Hill, University of Pennsylvania, who
ran one, two, in the first semi final
heat. Scholz' time was 21 4-5.
Charles Paddock, Ix>s Angeles„won
the second semi final heat, with Lid
dell, the Scotch university sprinter,
second, and Bayes Norton, Y'ale,
third. Paddock’s time was 21 4-5.
Abrahams held a good position
with Scholz and Hill until the stretch,
when he cracked and barely captured
the last qualifying place. The resulta
of the semifinals gave the Ameri
cans great expectations for a round
number of points, when the final Is
run.
Rain fell steadily, hut this did not
prevent the sprinters from making
fast time.
Car, Australia; Porrltt, New Zea
land, and Nichols, Great Britain, fail
ed to qualify in the first semi-final
heat of the 200 meter dash and Kins
man, South Africa; Coaffee, Canada,
and Mourlon, France, were shut out

The track and field game* have
proved a complete bust as far as
drawing crowds are concerned. The
Colombo* stadium looked today like
"Boyle's Thirty Acres” on a stormy
day In December. About as many
spectator* turned out ns present
themselves for an lnterschnlastlc dual
meet In a small American community.
The Europeans do not relish the re
peated spectacle of the Stars and
Stripes being hoisted to the top of
the official staff and listening as the
band repeatedly tune* up with “The
Star-Spangled Banner."

off the deliveries of Novack and
Prucha, while the Greeks could get

Horne and Novack were the sluggers
for the winners, while Palmer, with
a triple, was the losers’ best with the
stick.
The 'Westminsters, by winning from
the Christian Diamonds by the score
of 13 to 8, are one game behind the
Dietz team. O'Toole, on the mound
for the winners, whiffed 18 and poled
two home runs to help swell his
team's total of runs.

the loop, remained in first place when

A I.THOUGH the Greb Btrlblln*
romance w*as supposed to have
been plastered flat by a quar.
antlne on tourists, livestock and 6'■!**
gates at-large, the real truth seern<
to be that the advance sale was Just
about three yards shorter than eom«
plete bankruptcy.
With the exception of the Mill!
Fund fights, there has been no
money made In outdoor lawn parties
this year.
The Milk Fund” fights drew
$204,000, and they were the greatest,
series of outdoor flights since that
i big one between Lee and Grant.
Jimmy Johnston expects to do
right we!) with Tunney and Carpen
tier, and it looks like a good card.
We hope Jimmy gets the best e.nl
that the groundhog doesn’t see hls
j umbrella.
But it Isn’t the rainmaker that Is
putting the veto on outdoor fights.
There is omething deeper than that,
as the man said when he swallowed
hls false teeth and the doctor re
moved hls adenoids.
It may he due to tfiat old buz
zard, popularly known at a prerl
denial year. The contented cow Is
so busy chewing Its cud during con
vention years that It doesn’t give
up the contented cud so easily.
While Greb and Stribllng an
nounce their pugilistic wedding has
been postponed, the engagement has
.not been broken.
The bride and groom showed np,
but the relatives and friends »laid
off. The report that It was can
celled owing to a fever breaking out
across the rirer may have been true,
but there were no signs of any fever
in the advance sale. .
As a matter of fact. It seems to
have been a chill. The advance sale
looked like the sum total of a frost
bitten thermometer.
Many New York outdoor fights
have lost money this spring It seems
that a fight club objects to fresh sir
and prefers Its decisions served up
In a meringue of tobacco smoke and
bad ventilation.
Another theory it that the Ftrpo
Dempsey affair took the jtollsh off
the diamond. Having seen the duke
of fights, the fans are like the dough
boys who saw Paris. They didn't
want to see any more cities after
that.
We met * fisherman down In Sara
sota last March. Hs had been fish
ing for 50 years. HI* name was
Hubbard and hs was the older
brother of Kin Hubbard, the famous
pnpa of Abe Martin. Hubbard had
caught every kind of a fish that
walked or wiggled except the kind
they have In Florida- He enjoyed
fishing ar.d lived for that sport alone.
But down tn Florida he hooked up
with an eighty-pound tuna fish and
landed him after a struggle that was
longer and had more adjonrnaments
than this democratic convention.
- -
He broke two rods, sprained ell
hls elbows and ran out of Ohio ad
jectives landing that fish. But he
landed him.
And after landing him Hubbard
wont heme and broke the rest of hls
| fishing rods. He will never fish
again so long as he lives.
He had caught a tuna fish, and
fishing holds no more thrills for him.
And the Firpo-Dempsey scuffle
seems to have been the tuna fi*h of
boxing.
The fans who saw that laid by
enough thrills to last them many a
winter. It certainly la a tough one
to follow.
