11. 5. HAS FAST WATER TEAM IN OLYMPIC MEET “Bud” Goodwin, of the New York Athletic club, winner of more na tional aquatic championships than any swimmer now in active competition, and a man well qualified to judge of the chances of the American water men in the Olympic events, for he is a veteran of two Olympiads, is of the opinion that the hoys who are now on their way to Sweden will take their full shore of honors at the coming in ternational meet. Following are Goodwin’s views of how American watermen should fare in the games: By “Bud” Goodwin. IT may be that I hold too optimistic a view of the situation, but I am frank to confess that I don't see why Americans shouldn't gather in as many points in the Olympic swimming' events as England. Germany and Aus tralia, whose squads are reputed to be the strongest. England lacks sprinters and fancy divers of championship caliber; Aus tralia has only four men to take care of nine events and not a diver, a breast stroke or back stroke swimmer among them; and Germany is noticeably defi cient in the two middle distances, so that any weak spots on our team will be counterbalanced by those of others. Big Array of Talent. For the 100-meter sprint we have Duke Kahanamoku. of Honolulu; Har ry Hebner and Perry McGillivray, of the Illinois A. and Kenneth Huz zagh, of the Chicago A. A. No more than four foreigners are in their class— William Longworth, Harold Hardwick •and Cecil Healy, of Australia, and. C. Bretting, of Germany. As to Bretting, he is undoubtedly fast, but his best 100-meter outdoor per. formance, in 1 minute 5 seconds, does not look unbeatable. <>n the other hand, while every one seemed rabidly skep tical last August of Kahanamoku's straightaway "century" in 55 2-5 sec onds, look what he did to our best sprinters during the indoor season in spite of climatic changes and total un familiarity with pool swimming. Longworth in Short Races. Longworth, the favorite, is booked to take part in the 100. 490 and 1,500- meter swims, as well as in the relay race, with several heats thrown in for good measure. If he can train so as to be at his best for every event, and do himself justice in so many races, he’ll accomplish what no other man has done before. The meter prospects, are not nearly so bright, but after hearing frcyn < oacl> Kistler that he has been ■working Kahanamoku over half-mile courses, and. seeing the dusky islander beat our best .furlong men by some ten yards in the relay tryout (the length of which was. nearly 225 yards, by the way). I'm beginning to think that mat ters are decidedly not as hopeless as they’ve been painted. It would not sur prise me a bit to see that boy upset calculations, even though Jim Reilly and Nick Nerich should figure. Condition Tells in 1,500 Meters. At 1,500 meters much will depend on Reilly's condition. If he is as fit as when he created the American stand ard of 25 minutes 40 seconds for one mile, last August, he should be in the running. The SOO-meter. relay race will un doubtedly be won by the Australians unless they suffer an awful slump, for | on paper they are quite twenty seconds I faster than any other team in the field, f I expect the fight between England. I Germany, Hungary and the United I States to be very close, with odds I evenly divided, but I'm a lot more con- | fident of America landing in the awards | since seeing the great work done by 1 Kahanamoku and Huzzagh in Verona I lake if Places Faith in Hebner. K For the 100-meter back stroke swim. H I place great faith,ln Harry Hebner. H Aside from holding the world’s record k of 1 minute 16 seconds, he is one ■ of the most reliable swimmers I have ■ ever known. H At 2041 meters McDermott has don» H 2 minutes 39 seconds, a world's mark.

Jack Johnson now' rules only a 1 to 2 favorite against Jim Flynn. L r p to to day the Zulu,Cinder was a 2 to 5 shot, but a heavy morning play on the Pueb lo fireman sent his price down a notch. Fight enthusiasts from all parts of the country are in Las Vegas today’ awaiting the bell which next Thursday afternoon will send Jim Flynn, chal lenger, into the ring primed to battle Jack Johnson for the title of heavy weight champion of the world. Prepa rations for the eominb contest have been practically completed. The list of those who will officiate has been named. The Pueblo fireman picked Otto Floto, of Denver, to act as his timekeeper, while Al Tearney, of Chicago, and Tom Flanagan, of Toronto, will act in the same capacity for Johnson. Training conditions have taken a turn for the better. The sun came out and dried up the roads, enabling Johnson to resume his hobby' of plug-, ging over the hills. After a fourteen mile jaunt yesterday, in which he ‘fagged" his partners, the champion <*• ewzej back to headquarters, took a lilt o? rest and then prepared for his afternoon grind in the gymnasium. During his boxing work Johnson ’ "crossed" Flanagan, his handler, and won a bet'posted by the latter at lunch- I eon. According to the terms of the wager. Flanagan backed Respress, one of Jack's sparring partners, to stand uo for two rounds under the heaviest punching the champion could admin ister. Jack convinced Flanagan of the erfnr of his judgment by stowing away the poor, unhappy sparring partner in less than one round. TO FORM MOTORCYCLE LEAGUE. 'COLUMBUS, GA..

WOLGAST IS AT 3 TO 1 IN JOE RIVERS FIGHT LOS ANGELES, CAL., June 28.—Two terrible smiters are Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers. These ferocious fighters are going to turn their toughest bat teriest on each other July 4, and It sug gests the old high school problem of what will happen when a body moving with irresistible force encounters an immovable object. They say Wolgast has only lost one fight—that to Young Nelson. As a matter of fact, however, Abe Attel had a long shade over him three years ago. but that kind of thing never counts in the log book of a champion while he's champion. Ad -has been fighting six years, is 24 years old And has had 46 battles, half of which he won by the knockout route. He is regarded as the ideal lightweight, both in physique and fero cious disposition, while in the ring. Rivers, though younger, has a great record, equally sanguine. He not only knocks his men out. but he half kills them. He has knocked out eleven men, fought four draws and won four de cisions. He lost to Johnny Kilbane on what Is regarded as a fluke. There you have them—two terrible wallopers, hooked up in a do-or-die duel on Independence day. Because hi is champion and because Rivers has shown that he can be knocked out by a man of Kilbane’s ability, Wolgast is a 3 to 1 favorite. TREASURER QUIT FOR CAUSE: MONEY RAN OUT MONTGOMERY, June 28.—When "Silver Bill" Stickney quit the Mont gomery' ball club there was talk of a ruction. But that wasn't the cause. It was patriotism. There ceased to be any money to treasure and he resign ed, being thus Jiereft of a real job. "The principai >business of a business manager,” said Stickney, "Is taking care of the club’s money. When there isn’t any money coming in. I don’t think (here's any job for the business man ager. ’ "That wag about the situation in Montgomery. Saturday' we ha.d just 8119 in the park. The league guaran tee is $125 a day. I had to pay Char ley' Frank that amount, and when 1 did it. I felt that rhy services were no longer needed. I went to Charjes Jones, the president of the club, and told him just how I felt. .“ ‘You’ve got to pay those ball play ers,’ I told him, ’and I guess you can do it without me.’ "That’s all there is to it. There was absolutely no trouble between Jones and myself. Charley is one of the best fellows and gamest men I ever knew in baseball.” ATLANTA MAY TAKE OVER PORSMOUTH’S FRANCHISE The Atlanta club may get the Ports mouth franchise by forfeit. The national commission has ordered the Virginia league club to pay the At lanta . club what It owes it for players bought at the first of the season, if it does not pay promptly, the franchise will be turned over to the local club. If this is done, the local association will have acquired an elephant, but will get hold of- Pitcher Erskine Mayer, which Is the object of its action. ATLANTA MAY SIGN MAN OWNED BY SPARTANBURG Pitcher "Jaxtl?” Coombs (not of the-Ath letics) may be signed by the Atlanta club. Last spring Coombs, who was the prop erty of the Spartanburg elub, refused to report. When the Crackers got hard up for pitchers, the Spartanburg owners no tified Manager Hemphill that if he could get, Coombs to. play they would sell him cheap. Hemphill has given Coombs two morning work-outs and may decide to sign him. • GASTON BACK IN COLUMBUS. COLUMBUS, GA., June 28.—Dave Gaston, premier batsman of the Co lumbus team In 1911, who purchased his release to manag ethe Danville team, in the Virginia league, has again joined the Foxes, as the. Danville team has disbanded on account of the lack of support. ■FRISCO GETS BIG BOUT. SAN FRANCISCO, June 28.

Rowing experts, who have been watch ing the, crews which will contest here tomorrow in the intercollegiate regatta, are almost universally of the opinion that the laurels for the varsity race will be won by either Cornell or Columbia university. Os the other four crews in the race — Pennsylvania, Syracuse. Wisconsin and Leland Stanford—Pennsylvania and Syracuse are held to be the most dan gerous rivals of the favorites. The men who mill man the. shells for these two colleges are In prime condition and are confident that they can cope with the speedy stroke of the Columbia and Cornell .rowers. The dark horse in tomorrow's race will be the Leland Stanford eight. This crew is the winner of all equatlc events on the Pacific 'coast this year and it was in the expectation of winning hon ors in the greatest rowing event in the East that they were sent from Cali fornia by a subscription of $5,000. The money was put up by the alumni of Leland Stanford university. The Westerners have been somewhat handicapped in their workout by the climatic change to which they were subjected, and also because of the fact that they had to use a strange shell. The boat they will race in tomorrow is one of the Columbia’s old shells, which, because of Its age and antique design, is not conducive to the most speedy work. Despite this disadvantage, how ever, the Westerners have made a won derful showing and their supporters are supremely confident now that they will at least be placed In the race tomorrow. Chief Interest is centered In the Cor nell eight, however. Cornell has achieved victory in all but one of the 21 races she has competed in the last three years. The event she lost was the freshman race of last year. Columbia’s eight, while not having such a magnificent record behind them, are conceded to be worthy rivals for first honors. Columbia won the fl’st race held on the Poughkeepsie course in 1895. She waited sixteen years for her next taste of victory, however. This camo last year to her freshman crew. Retting on the coming race, while slightly favoring Cornell and Columbia crews, has hot been of such a decided character that a walk-away is looked for; in fact, Coach Charles E. Court ney, of the Cornell crew, thus country’s highest authority on rowing, has made the statement that never before in his experience had he seen six crews so capable as the six that have been training here for the past few weeks.
