United States Will Have
. Strong Team. ,
- V WALTER ECKERSALL. .
"f'tii indoor athletic season, which
vi brought tff a successful close
vvirh the Central A. A. U. track and
field championships, showed beyond
doubt that America will be repre
sented by the strongest team which
ever tv.6k part in the Olympic
games.
In practically every meet of note
records were either broken or tied.
The central west enjoyed its
greatest incboor year of recent sea
sons. ii Start Outdoor Work.
With the indoor season now a
matter of history, coaches, trainers'
and athletes, have turned their at
tention to' outdoor competition,
which will be officially opened by
the annual Pennsylvania relay carni
val at Philadelphia on April 30 and
May 1. In some cases the athletes
already have started to train out of
doors and others will follow as soon
as the coaches deem Lt advisable. In

f)y light indoor workouts.
The Penn relays always have been
i magnet for college teams from all
sections of the country. Because
of the expected heavy entry, the
event has been spread over two
days this year, and already the
cream of the college athletic world
has been nominated. Reports have
it that Leland Stanford and the Uni
versity of California will be repre
sented. Ames, winner of the four
mile relay at Illinois, will certainly
send its quartet.
Olympic Tryouts as Goal. '
Following this event, the college
teams will be pointed to the inter
collegiates. The eastern meet will
be held at Cambridge on the last
Saturday in May, while the western
:onference will be decided at Ann
Arbor on the first, Saturday in June.
The athletes then will keep in shape
to win places on the American
Olympic team, trials for which will
be held in three sections of the coun
try on June 26.
While the college performers will
have the advantage of competition,
'the club and unattached performers
will train for the Olympic tryouts,
as no sectional A. A. U. champion
ships will be held this year. Open
meets, however, will be held in all
parts of the country. These are ex
pected to give me ciud men tne
needed workouts for' the great ef

DOPE INDICATES

Physique and Punching Vigor

Solid Punch Will Finish
Carpentier.
By RAY PEARSON.
In the game of fisticuffs the scales
ind tape line do not always decide
the victor. When Dempsey and
Willard met last July 4 in Toledo,
Willard had every physical advant
age as far as the scales and tape
line could tell, but Dempsey more
than offset those .advantages with
his speed, his vigor and his ability
to punch. . ' ,, '
Nevertheless figures on fighters
can always be depended on to some
extent. From tire following table
Dempsev will have biff advantages:

The thing tbat will count is the
force behind the punch, and any
one who knows anything about this
boxing game will readily agree that
Dempsey has it all over the French
man in this respect.. As one fellow
who is a pretty close student of
the game, remarked in a conversa
tion in which the relative merits
of these two heavyweights was be
ing discussed:
"Dempsey is inorc than twice as
good in hitting as Carpentier. He
has that shade because he can knock
out opponents equally' as easily with
one hand as with the other, while
Carpentier only is able to score
knockouts with his right hand.
Dempsey also has the big edge in
punching power, for he has demon
strated it by liis- one-round knock
outs, while few of the Frenchman's
victories have been gained in a
round."
One Punch to Finish Georges.
That certainly looks like the logi
cal way to reason things out, but
the gent who "released" the above
continued a bit farther with:
"Carpentier will last just as lonj;
as he isn't hit by the champion.
When Dempsey lands one solid
smash, whether it is on the chin or
in the midsection, the fight will be
over."
Those who are willing to believe
that Carpentier has a chance to de
feat Dempsey,-have reached their
opinion simply because of one
thing, and that is- the element of
cleverness. They seem to be under
the impression that the 'Frenchman
is far more clever than Salt Lake
Jack, and that he will be able to
outpoint the titleholder, and pos
sibly open him up for a shot at the
jaw with his knockout right hand,
the one that spilled Joe Beckett,
champion of England.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 3. Last week we had the last gasp of
March, that nimble collection of weather hasp without which no
chronological menu would be complete. Figuring on the dish
that the official weather guesser is handing out here, the present ten?e of
Spring is "soun," nast tense "soupier" and future tense "soupiest. There
will probably be no game in Jackson, Tenn., today either, as when she
starts in to rain down hereabouts, she throws the key away.
From now on McGraw will make the boys wear their spiked shoes in
the lobbies. Otherwise, it looks as if they will forget how to use them.
There was Fungo practise called for in the good pullman ark
"Penzance," the only sleeping booth which was designed by Gilbert
(music by Sullivan). Fortunately, May Irwin came to the rescue, wjth a
invitation to her show. Manager McGraw aceepted on behalf of the visit
ing firemen.
" -
There was no out. The innocent must suffer with guilty. The tame
wildcat was taken along to lead the cheering. Mac wants to keep a
lamp on the wild tamecat, as it has been busting loose and scattering bell
hops along the route like an advance man scatters handbills. The two-
way cat has gained fifteen pounds since leaving San Antonio. All off col
ored bellhops have no use for either a wild tamecat or a tame wildcat.
Both animals being held greatly in respect by the darker sex. It is now
suffering from ptomaine poisoning caused by scratching an umpire.
Bill Klem and Dick Nallin are off the trained maltese for keens.
Klem was getting set to bivouac in his upper berth last night when the
vegetarian cannibal cat scratched a foul line down his skullpiece. Bill
threw a natural that you could have heard in Siam. He now goes to
sleep with his chest protector inside his pajamas and his wire mask over
his noodle. Bill prefers to use a comb in parting what little hair he has
left. By sewing walnut shells on the republican democrat cat's feet it is
possible to protect both the umpires and the cat.

Los Angele girl has decided to take
it from legendry and enact it in real
life. -
On April 7, the opening day of
the famous Ambassador horse show
at SanJU Barbara, Miss Janie Mc

Lieut. David Thompson, U. S. A.,
will pilot the plane.
For the flight Mercury is being
outfitted in equine aviation togs. He
will wear rubber hoofs, slipped over
his own; a hood to keep him from
nervousness if he should see the
earth slipping by; a harness strait
jacket to keep him in place, and he
will stand during the flight upon a
rubber pad. "
Preparations for the landing now
are in progress at Santa Barbara at
the Ambassador hotel ground,
where the unique ' affair will be
watched by an invited concourse of
leaders in American society, many
of whom have entered horses in the
show.
TWO DECISIONS
ON BALL HITTING
UrlP OR RUNNER
Base Ball Rule Makers Sim
plified Matters a Great
Deal, ut Not
Entirely.. .
By I. E. SANBORN.
'hie base ball rulemakers devoted
a lot of care and time to revising
the plaving rules during the winter.
The "result was a vat improve
ment inthe playing code, with all
the time and thought given to it, for
obscure points, that bave wrecked
many a semi-pro or sand lot game
in the past have been made clearer.
Yet the rulemaners, oeiore me
season is many days old, will find
there still are technical conflicts in
the npw code. ' These presumably
will not seriously bother the major
league umpires, although they may
lead to an argument or two, but the
embryonic arbitrator will still have
his few troubles.
Runner Not Out If Hitt
One of the changes in the rules
absolves a base-runner from being
declared out if he is hit by a batted
ball which goes through an infielder
without being touched by an op
posing player. The old rule was
that such base-runner was out un
less the ball had been actually
touched by an infielder. But it was
an injustice to punish a' runner for
being hit by a batted ball which
he expected an infielder to touch,
if the fielder -missed his chance and
the ball then hit the runner. ,a
The change is a just one, but the
rulemakers added it to section 8 of
rule 56, and then overlooked sec
tion 12 of the same rule. According
to section 12, the ruifncr still is out
if a fair hit ball strikes him before
being "touched" bv an infielder. The
two sections conflict and the bush
league player or umpire-who Is not
intimately acquainted with the whole
of the rules may get into trouble.
Needs Definite Interpretation.
In a similar connection there is
chance for an argument even in the
major leagues, unless the umpires
receive a definite interpretation in
advance of the season. According
to the first section of rule 54, as
devised, a batted ball remains in
play if it hits an umpire af,ter pass
ing a fielder or has been touched
by a fielder. ' '
The intent of this revision obvious
ly was to do away with the previous
injustice of robbing a runner of the
chance to advance on a grounder
and the ball accidentally hit the
umpire, as sometimes happened.
The rule worked just the other
way in one of the Cubs' exhibition
games in California almost before
the ink on the printed rules of 1920
was dry. One umpire was working
directly behind the pitcher with the
bases full of Cubs in the first half
of the ninth inning. The score was
tied and one out. Paskert sloughed
a sizzler past the pitcher so fast
that the slabman didn't even reach
for it.
Costs Victory for Cubs.1
It was a sure hit over second
base, good for a couple of .runs, but
the umoire couldn't dodge the drive.
The ball bit him and dribbled back
to the pitcher, who picked it til
and made a double play by way of
the- plate. Tb.it game went 15, fi
nings and ended in a tie when
obviously it was intended that Pask
.rt should not have' been robbed -of
his hit or the Cubs of at least one
run by such an accident. -
But the pitcher is a "fielder."
technically speaking; so the tall
grass umpire was richt in his deci
sion, according to the letter of the
rule.
And rule 56 .still says the ball is
not in play if it hits an umpire, be
fore "touching" a fielder, making
another conflict that will puzzlevthe
amateur, arbiter.
