ball Meetings Fail to Please Chilean Ring Sensation Gets Setback

Hans Wagner's name ap.
pears on every alI-Americap
aIl-star base ball team for all
time, and what the OId-time
star doesn't know about base
ball doesn't amount to much.
In this, the story of his career
told by himself, he tells you
what ne knows-the skill of
men and teams and plays, the
development of the American
national game, all the ins and
outs that the base ball fan of
today wants to know about.
He gives pointers to the
youngsters and the college
player and he tells the old
hand where he can look for
new delights by watching for
fine points that most of us
overlook. Hans Wagner's
story is more than this, how
. ever; TO it he has brought his
sound philosophy and knowI-
edge of men, SO that the dia-
mond, as he talks of it, be-
comes as broad as the whole
world. And with a simplicity
that makes absorbing reading,
he has accomplished what
many skilled writers fail to
achieve; he has given a living,
fulI-Iength portrait of a man
himself.

NEW YORK. December 15.-De-

be mapped out by the executive COM

here today.
Dates for important championship
tournaments probably will be altered

and woman PLAYERS to the Olympics
at Paris The Olympic tennis events
are scheduled for July 13 to 20. In
addition, the American team IS eX-

IT has been suggested that the ma

the last week in August, preceding
the Davis cup final and challenge
rounds, which will be held at later
dates than usual to give added time
for preliminaries to nations parti-
cipating in the Olympics.

Little of vital effect came out of
