it is staging "A comeback along sew

Meanwhile, such polo vets at Mil

or beyond 40, are fighting for places
on this years American Big Four
against a hard-riding group of young
h0rsemen, among them the 90 year
old Freddy Guest, Yale captain. Mil
burn, at 46, is still rated the greatest
back in polo.
Even the old lightweight champion,
Willie Richie, has been bitten by
the comeback bug. It was cOinci-
dence that Willie's return to the ring
came shortly before the tragic death

his comeback. Critics assert he still
possesses the fine punching qualities
he had when he was the champion OF
the world.
Jack Dempsey seems fated to be
involved in the rings most hectic

gloves. His last three fights haye
stirred up more confused chatter

doubles and triples, with an occa-
sional circuit drive thrown in to vary
the monotony.
Coming to the Pirates after three
years in professional service, spent
with San Francisco in the Coast
League, he was touted as rookie
ready to step into fast company and
deliver.
A batting average of .401 in his
caused Pittsburgh supporters to ex-
pect much of him and he didn't dis
appoint. Playing in. 144 games in
his first year he finished with a
mark of 1886. Catcher Earl Smith Of
the Pirates was the only member Of
the club who did better at the bat.
Steps Along Fast
This year he is stepping along at
an even faster pace, being the bat
ting ace of Manager DOME Bush's
club. He was the first player in the
National League to make 100 hits.
He now wants to beat all others to
the 200 mark.
Waner is a we'll built athlete, yet
couldn't be classed as husky. He
is about feet 8 inches in height and
weighs in the neighborhood Of 100

as at the bat.
