CzECH0.SLOVAKIA
SEEKING 0[yMP|AD

The new Republic OF Czecbo- Slo-
vakia is in line for the Olympic Games
Of 1924. and while the idea might
cause q smile in some quarters. to
those who know the Czechs are as
well prepared to hold the meet as
Italy. Spain or any one Of the minor
aspirants for the meet.
To begin with, the city OF Prague,
the head OF the nation. boasts OF a
new stadium which can seat 100000
persons, and no doubt Prague could
do as well as Antwerp in the matter
Of hotel accommodations for the visi-
tors
Only recently the, Czechs held a
weeks carnival at Prague in which
10000 athletes took part. along with
q drill in which 10000 girls showed at
one and the same time. The visitors
from the surrounding ,sokols or gym
nastic clubs numbered 500, 900 men
and women.
In order that they should be in the
stadium in time, the spectators began
to crowd in at daybreak, each with
his or her lunch tucked away with a
bottle Of liquid and some candy.
1t is predicted that. the Czechs'will
outdo the Firms in the track and field
sports OF the future, as they have a
bigger population to draw from.
For the words meet" and '"carni-
val" the Czechs have a very handy
term in the word ''slet." which should
come into use in the course OF time.

After a lay-off of two years Koleh-

Dempsey replied: What's that guy

He knows what it's all about. But
maybe he's forgotten IT. so I'll repeat
it. I bounced De npsey's jaw so hard
and so often in both OF those fights
that he couldn't eat anything but soup
the next day, and It was several days
before he could chew fried potatoes.
That's straight stun. because he told

This should bring up with a nrm

by every one who Investigated the
accident.
QUESTION FOR LEAGUE.
What action Johnson could take
against players probably would be
a question for the league to settle,
but IL Is probable continued tactics
/ of this sort would lead to revocation
of their contracts and standing in or
ganized baseball.
The break in the Mays agitation
should do great deal TO clear the
situation for the Yankees. who yes
terday got back into the thick of the
night for the American League pan
napt when they again trounced the
White Sox.
Sha~key never was in better form.
He came through with a shut-out vic
tory. while Faber was hit hard at
opportune moments and was ineffec-
tive at other times. The fact that
Cleveland was idle served only TO
tighten the screws, for the Indians
now rest barely out OF reach of the
Yankees. while the. White sox lost
half "a game of their lead over the
ClevelandeTs.
Two full games now represent the

Determined opposition from the H-

been the bane. and nemesis OF tho

for repetition of last years cham

answer is that the Giants are slowly
