ITALIAN FENCER
BARRED FROM
OLYMP|CS
PuIitti, Title Prospect, Punish
ed for Challenging Hun
garian to Real Duel

PARIS, July 24.-oreste Pulitti,
the Italian fencer, who was con.
sidered a strong contender for the
Olympic saber title, has been barred
forever from Olympic competition
by the executive committee of the
international Olympic committee be-
cause of his attempt to provoke the
Hungarian fencing Judge, Kovacs,
to duel.
It was NJ. Kovacs' protest that
brought about the disqualification
Of Pulitti. The Olympic committee
has also censured three of the
Italians teammates, who withdrew
from the tournament when Pulitti
was ruled out, and requested the
Italian Olympic committee to take
action to prevent the repetition Of
such events.
This is the first of the series of
disciplinary measures contemplated
by the committee in connection with
several unruly affairs in the
Olympic games.

Engishman Makes
Hole In 123 Strokes
For Record

The following incident, which
occurred in London, is printed
as a Consolation" to those en-
terprising golfers who never
say die:
Perseverance, obstinacy call
it what you will, leads some
players to extraordinary lengths,
to say nothing Of the compila-
tion Of some extraordinary
scores. A man playing at Hert-
fordshire recently took 123
strokes for one hole. II was a
short affair, the green being
placed at the top of a steep hill,
and in dry weather it was abso-
lutely necessary to put the ball
on the green from the tee, or it
would roll back to its starting
point. The golfer failed time
after time, but try as he would
he could not reach the top where
safety lay. AS fast as he played
the ball came rolling back to
him with a heart-breaking per-
sistency. But he succeeded at
last and holed out in 1923, prob
ably the record for the highest
score for any one hole"

MIKE PALM CHOSEN TO
HELP AT GEORGETOWN

Mike Palm, former Penn State
football star, and rated as one Of
the brainiest back field men ever to
be graduated from that school, has
been added to the hong list of
coaches for the Georgetown Univer-
sity football team. Announcement
Of Palms selection as a backfield
coach was made by Head Coach
Lou Little.
Palms appointment was sonTe-
what Of a surprise inasmuch as
Little is an exponent OF the Uni.
versity of Pennsylvania style of
play, while Palm knows the Penn
State system backwards. The styles
vary as widely as is possible in
football. Both Palm and Little
will come to Washington Septem-
Der to start the works going. The

Should Help Griffs.

NI TILL Cne 1874 American
wv League schedule seems
ridiculous in some particu.
lars, yet 1t may help the Griffs in
their fight for the grand old flag.
New York and Washington are
contenders, yet they have but four
more games with each other, all
in New York, The Yankees played
their final game in Washington on
July 6.
A similar situation is seen in
Detroit and Cleveland. Both clubs,
especially Detroit, are contenders,
vet but three games remain In
their series, all in Detroit. On
July z the Bengals finished their
schedule in Cleveland.
The helpful part of this 1924
schedule is that which keeps the
Griffs on the road through the
last three weeks and the fact that
seven games remain with the Red
Sox and six with Philadelphia.
On the face of it, the Griffs
should win majority Of those re-
naming games with the Red Sox
and the Mackmen.
The Washington club has always
been a fine road club. It has
proved this true this season
already. In addition. the WASH
ington club has usually been a
strong finisher. Combining these

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-07-24

The winning combination"
that put Washington in first
place had Judge, Harris. Peck
and Bluege in the infield, with
Rice, Matthews and Goslin in the
outfield. Muddy Ruel was catch
ing every day.
The first "break" in this swim
ming combination" saw Memo
Leibold go to centerfield, repIac-
ing Matthews. ''Spark Plug"
had not been hitting, though play
ing wonderfully well in the gar
den. Leibold, playing a good
game in the field, proceeded to
wallop the pill. Therefore, the
change should have been for the
better. But the winning COM
bination" was gone.
The second ''break" saw
Thomas Cyclades Taylor replace
the light-hitting Ossie Bluege at
third base. Taylor began hitting
the bali for a hundred points
more than Bluege. Therefore,
the change should have been for
the better. But the winning
combination" was gone.
The third "break" saw Bennett
Tate catching every now and
then. He was taking the burden
off Ruel during the epidemic Of
double-headers. Harris had every
good argument in support Of his
giving Ruel, not a big man, a
rest in the hot weather.
The lineup good enough to
rush from seventh to first place
over a stretch of but few weeks
might well be placed on the field
once more. That team brought
applause from every section of
the country. The name of the
Nations Capital appeared in
headlines everywhere.
This writer makes no attempt
to advise the manager Of the
Washington ball club. Harris
carries his own responsibility, and
is doing a good JOB of it, too. If
he wishes, he may play Sam Rice
at third base for all this writer
would howl.
Nevertheless, winning COM
bination" is a winning combine

and Matthews in centerfield, the
Griffmen were first place team,

The Olympic Aftermath
MYTH the 1924 Olympic
w games rapidly receding
~ into history, an ugly con-
dition Of affairs appears in its
wake. Some even 60 so far as, to
protest against the staging of an
Olympiad in 1928, believing pres
ent political conditions in Europe
augur i'll.
The booing Of the American
rugby players, with assaults upon
American students in the cheer
ing section by members Of a
French mob, was the first sign
Of ill-feeling.
There was a squabble between
the Italian and Hungarian fenc-
ing teams, followed by a more
serious mix-up between their
saber teams, which may bring
duels yet.
The boxing contests caused the
worst exhibition of all, one
French boxer biting British OPP
ponent in the chest and the mob
so intimidating the judges that
the gendarmerie had to protect
them. The so-called "Olympic
oath" didn't carry much weight
with the contestants. The crowds
never even heard Of it.
Certain British writers say an
Anglo-Amer1can meet. such as
that at Stamford Bridge last
Saturday, is far to be preferred
to the Olympic games as a means
Of spreading world peace. They
have plenty Of evidence in sup
port Of their contention, too.
Reading of the Olympics from
afar, this writer is inclined to
think that the United States,
Great Britain, Finland and
Sweden include about all those
nations possessing true sports
manship, using the word with its
American or British connotation.
The others-well, let them en-
gage in international games
among themselves.
