ARLiE LATHAM RELEASED.
Hunorist of Baseball Gets Blue Slip
 Hopes to Come Back.

DALLAS, Texas. April 6.-Arlie Latham. one of the most famous Of the old-lirne baseball players and one of the characters of the modern day game. who has been carried by the New York Giants in the capacity or coach for the past four years, has been released
 He has already left the club, going to Memphis. the presumption being that he will endeavor to land place with Chicago or some other big league organization. Lathams value to the club as a drawing card was quite definite. but he had to be in cluded in the twenty-five ball play CTS allowed manager after May 15 and McGraw drew in so many val uable youngsters this year that he finally had to make room for them somehow.
 Walter Arlington Latham celebrat- ed his fiftv- third birthday in camp at Marlin a few days ago. He was tho oldest man in point of service earning livelihood out of the game by still appearing in uniform. having been player, manager, umpire and fin ally coach for almost forty years

'PACKY M FAR LAND
 WOULD JAUNT THE WORLD
Pride Of Chicago Has Travel Bug; Also He Would Meet
 Ad WoIgast.

Packey Mcfarland, the pride oi Chicago, and ear-lightweight cham pion of the United States is planning tour around the world in 1913. and then retire from the arena for all time
 Ever since l returned from Europe I have had my mind set on making tour around the world, and would like to do it while l am near the top of the heap in the boxing line" said Mcfarland recently. You know when l am a card there is q certain magnetism about the drawing power and il would mean money to me in the countries l would visit where boxing is permitted. l had made up my mind year and a half ago 10 go to Australia and even signed contract with Hugh Me Intosh for a tour through that cOun- try, but my mother objected and gave up the trip. and remained at home. although it cost me sl0,000 to do so. l have several contests in view now-one with Young Erne in Philadelphia and another with Knockout Brown-but aside from that have not negotiated any big matches at the present time. It is my intention to work my way out west, then go to Australia and from there visit South Africa. after which would go to London and Paris. re- turning home by way of New York. cannot say positively at this time sh | vt-iIl Nk-ifh these are my intentions if nothing turns up to prevent them. All this talk about my meeting Mike Gib- bons at the welter weight limit is bosh. do not intend to go into that class while l can fight around the lightweight limit, not that l am afraid of Gibbons in the least, but do not intend to give away weight to q clever man like Gibbons when it is unnecessary.
 There has also been talk of my meeting Ray Bronson at 142 pounds, but nothing has been done in this respect. and I will not go through with the match unless there is good money in sight. The one man I want to meet of all is Ad Wolgast, and if he will make match at 133 pounds at 3 o'clock he will find me ready to do business in a hurry and there will be no backing up. on my part I see no reason why he should favor some of these other fellows ahead of me. for 1 think l am the logical candidate for a championship match, and you will find out in the not distant future that the clubs will insist upon all weighing at o'clock in the afternoon instead of ring side

Scores have said that under no conditions would they miss the opportunity of seeing it, and so far the response that the public has given to the announcement that the race will be held has borne out the sincerity O" it's statements. Requests have been made from all parts of the country both for seats anu for park ing spaces and it is our opinion that the second 500-mile International Sweepstakes race will far outshine the first, which was heralded as the greatest automobile cOnSest the world ever has known.

TEN INNINGS l. ID ODEFEAT P.H.S.
Closest Interscholastic Game of Year Occurred at East lake Yesterday When the Tempe Normal Downed Tail Enders

The fastest and closest inter scholastic game of the season was played at Eastlake yesterday. between the local High school and the Tempe Normal. The score was to l, with the Normal in the lead.
 Errors were not very numerous and both of the NOrmars runs were earned by good batting at the right time. Grable pitched seven innings for Phoenix and Harrison took the box for the eighth, ninth and tenth. During the first six innings Grable held the Normal batters close to the home plate, allowing only three hits, but in the seventh the Normal sue .ceeded in bringing in the two runs which won the game. The Phoenix one run. but this was the sum of their achievements for the day
 Phoenix infield showed up strong with only three errors. as compared with the four with which the Normal was (dis) credited. Smith played fast and errorless game at short. and Orme showed up in his usual classy style at the first sack.
 Mesa has quit the game and this leaves Phoenix to tail the league, but il is not altogether improbable that the Coyotes will hand this lemon to the Tempe High.
 Block. of Phoenix. umpired the game yesterday. He has all the fine points of the game stored away in his mind and his decisions are sell dom questioned. Besides. he has played himself and generally manages to stand right over the plays and see just what does happen.

OLYMPIC MEET
 |S EXPENSIVE
Over Two Million Dollars Will Be Spent This Year by Various Contesting Countries; Sweden to Spend $500,000

Olympic games are an expensive pastime One need not necessarily be of a mathematical turn of mind to calculate the vast sum expended in the greatest of all athletic meets held once every four years.
 The next set of Olympic games. as is generally known. will be held in Stockholm. Sweden. in June and July of this year. Already remark able activity prevails in the countries which will strive to make America relinquish its sinecure on first place in this classic Money is being dis bursed freely to prepare the athletes, and each nation is making a deter mined effort to produce better aggregation of athletes than the rest of the nations.
 It is estimated that from s2.000.000 to 5000. 900 will be spent by about fifteen nations on the coming Olym- pie games. This, of course. includes the expenses incurred in the training period for the tryouts and for other incidentals. and it is expected that the S3.0O0. 900 mark for expenditures will be reached before the last flag is hoisted in the Stockholm stadium late in July.
 Sweden. naturally. will open its cOffers more generously than the rest of the nations this year. because the Swedes have the honor of supervis- ing the games A sum in excess of $500. OOO in Swedish money will change hands. Of this amount $300.000 will be spent for the construction of stands; s100.00O will be squandered on the nations guests. and more than SlO0. 900 will he expended for the de- velopment of an athletic team that will make q presentable showing.
 England will be touched" for the next largest sum-$200.0 1000. The United Kingdom expects to be rep resented by 800 athletes. and a spe- cial steamer has been chartered to convey the performers to the scene of hostilities. The 1908 London Olympiad cost England in the neigh borhood of S1.0OO,O0o
 It will cost Denmark approximately S1OO, 900 to be strongly represented. In 1908 Denmark. next to England, had the largest squad of athletes
 America will not spend any con siderable sum before the games. The money spending will come on the teams successful return from abroad. From present indications S5000O to s75,0OO will be Uncle Sam's limit
 Athletics in Italy gained much needed impetus after Dorando's brilliant performance in the Marathon at London four years ago. This year Italy will send a stronger and larger team than it did in the last Olympiad and will disburse $5O.OOO in an effort tn make a good showing.
 For the first time in the history of the Olympic games Japan and China will make a bid for hsnOrs. Japan has some corking athletes. judging by reports of their performances, and the Japs and Celestials will spend s50, ,000 on the event.
 South Africa. Australia, Belgium and Holland will also he represented and each nation will spend from s10,OO0 to s25.OOO.

QUALITY ALONE . |S WHAT COUNTS
No Favorites on American Gladiatorial Olymp l c Team; Committee Refuses Gifts With Strings At tached

While virtually all the competing countries have expressed their satis- faction with the rules which the Swedish Olympic committee has laid down for the track and field section of the firth Olympiad, the English rowing critics are vOicing their dis approval of certain features govern ing the Olympic regatta. What the English do not like is the arbitrary ruling that in the four -oared shells each crew must have a coXswain. This method of manning four-oar shell is totally foreign to the English idea. and likewise is contrary to the American custom, except wi-h some of the college crews.
 One reason that the English are so critical of this ruling is that it prom ises to handicap the famous four of the Thames Rowing club. which last year won the big race at the Henley regatta. At first it was announced that England would not be represent ed in this race. Officially in Englan1 a four-oared shell race with a cOxswain is not regarded as the high est type of rowing. and rasher than submit tO this condition there was a disposition at first to senl no crew. Later wiser counscls prevailed and the Thames Rowing Club was asked to send its crew to the regatta.
 IL becomes more evident every year that the International olympic COun cil win shortly be compelled to stan dardiZe everything connected with the games. It must include not only the track and field. the rowing and other athletic events, but il must he eX- tended to the manner of selecting of ficials. settling disputes. etc. That there are no uniform rules is all due to the refusal of the International Council to take action. This council, from the time the games were first revived at Athens in 1896. has taken the ground that the rules of the countries holding the games are to be followed. Ever since the second meet at Paris in 1900 the Americans have been demanding uniformity. but only within the last year or two have they had any support.
 There are to be but four events in this years Olympic regatta. They are for eight-oared shells with coXswains, and single shell. inriggers, with coxswains. and single souls. The Swedish committee has provided that the boats must be of a ceTeain build and measurement the principal de- tails of which apply to the inrigger fours.
 The course for all events will be 2000 meters. This is equivalent to about 1A miles. or no wards shorter than the Henley course
 At this writing nothing definite has been done in this country toward hay ing the United States represented in the rowing events. Tn view of the difficulty to raise enough money for the track and field teams and the Encouragement attended upon trying to get together q crew in 1908. it is not likely that a similar effort this year would meet with much success.
