When He entered Harvard He
Knew Nothing of Game;
Now One Of Best.
is IN TRAINING DAILY
Feels Confident That He Will
Make a Good Showing In
Olympic Games.
is IN TRAINING DAILY
From speeial Corresp0ndent.


BOSTON, Mass, June when
James NJ. Moore left Detroit anu en-
tered Harvard college here, he knew
nothing at all OF fencing. Now he IS
preparing TO represent the Unlteu
States In the Olympic games at Stock
holm, Sweden, this simmer.
The money appropriated for the
fencers allows only six men to go 10
the games. Moore was not among
the six chosen but he and another
Harvard man, Schenck are going to
complete the number required for q
regular team, eight. paying their own
expenses on the trip.
Moore will not be able 10 sail with
the team on the Finland early this
month, but will be forced 10 remain
here for a week after the team has
departed, taking examinations. He
will board the Lusitania, however,
and join his mates at Antwerp.
Moores rise to fame in the fencing
world has been remarkable Ii mas
been brought about by long hours OF
practice and by that do or die spirit
which always predominates In the
mind of the Detroit boy.
Moore is now a first year law stu
dent at Harvard. Besides being a
champion athlete, Jim, as Moore Is
known 10 every student at the Har-
ward law school. is a sterling scholar.
He believes that no man should com
pete in athletics unless he is able TO
hold his own with his fellowmen in
the class room or in business.
Jim graduated from Harvard col.
lege last June and was we'll up among
the leaders OF his class. Before en-
tering Harvard, he had never COM
peted in fencing tournament. In
fact. he had never even witnessed a
match.
He got the fever" during his THIRD
year in college, and his advance TO
prominence in his favorite sport, has
been remarkable. Moore went out
for the Harvard fencing team during
his third year at college. He caught
on" TO the fine points of the game
with great speed and perfected his
style rapidly. He won gold medals
two years in the American Fencing
association tournament.
The Detroit star Is an expert In all
branches Of fencing, but he is well
nigh unbeatable in the use of the
dueling sword. Ii was on account OF
his ability with the dueling sword
that he was selected TO journey across
the sea this summer in order TO battle
for Old Glory at the Olympic games.
Moore will enter the individual foil
and the individual saber events and
he Is confident that he will carry of
the premier laurels. He will have 10
be In wonderful condition II he Is to
be returned the victor as he will have
to compete against the most sklllfu!
swordsmen in the world.
Jim Is now training daily at the
Harvard gymnasium. He is an ideal
fencer About five feet, ten inches
tall, he weighs about l65 pounds; Il
as fast as lightning on his feet; has
quick eye and a steady nerve;
knows the fencing game through and
through; IL as game as they make
them and most important Of all, he Is
as cool as an iceberg when In action

PICKUPS FROM THE
BIG LEAGUE FIELDS

As one fan remarked, " the
Giants won 'em all, Il would put
the league on the fritz.
Smiling Joe Willis, a young
southpaw Of class, stopped the
Giants after they had won nine
straight.
Bobby Wallace tried out Willis
for a while last season but can
ned him. Another reason why the
Browns are In last place.
II they had TO lose, the Giants
were glad that Roger Bresnahan's
Cardinals did the trick.
The lowly Dodgers turned and
took two games from the Boston
Braves, thereby crawling out OF
last place.
Dropping the seventh straight
game, the Reds looked sheepish
alongside the Pirates. Cole, for
meriy Of Chicago, was In Pitts
bLrah uniform.
George Burns, who has made
seven hits for the Giants In 10
pInches, did not "come across"
yesterday.
A peek at the Pirates lineup
discloses some unfamiliar names.
MAP" Ruoker relieved Rauon
when he was totterlng and the
way the sterling southpaw moved
down the Braves brought Joy to
Bill Dahien's heart. "lts the
comeback punch" said the
Superba's manager.

Gordon turned on his heel and
Marcia waited in vain for her ex-

there was any consolation for
Gordon as he thought over af-
fairs in general that night it was
memory of the glad little face
that had loked up so gratefully
into his own when the automo-
bile stopped at Brookville.
Gordon wrote a brief note to
