George Colombatto and Vinccnzo Ma

These four riders competed in team

poor shape and could do no better than
fourth. He has recovered entirely from
his recent illness and is now in good
condition.
Promoter Chapman arranged to-
nights race with the idea of giving the
Italians a chance to get back at the
Americans. If Colombatto Is at his
best he should give Carman battle for
first place.
International flavor also is attached
to the sprint match race, best two in

For the Gamc
THESE international matches have
l. all been marked by the best sort
of sportsmanship upon both sides.
Not a hitch so far has arisen. It
has been shown that the sportsmen Of
the two countries can get along without
a squabble of any sort, a result that
might be taken into consideration by
few politicians and few editors.
Bob Gardner and Bill Tilden both re-
port the best possible treatments re-

Quoted upon this plane 1t IL not only a
fine thing for the game, but also for the

world has known in the last six years,
at least.
The Other Entry
T EAvING out the Olympic games,
- which belongs to all nations, France
is the only remaining nation able to offer
anything in the way of an international
melee.
France. through Carpenter, has won
a big decision over Great Britain, but
Carpenter has no such decision over
any American heavyweight of note. The
French boxer has apparently admitted
his inability to cope with Dempsey. II
he thought that he had a good chance
to win the match would now be in the
making. But the big difference In
weight and power is too much against
the French champion. whose sole chance
to win would be through a decisive blow
