style of leaping but went into the
broad jump and finished fourth or
short notice.
Perhaps the most dramatic high
jumping victory for the United
States occurred at Stockholm in
1912 when Alma Richards, giant
Utah athlete, defeated the great
Californian and favorite, George
HORNE, who had set the worlds rec
ord at 6 feet z inches. Richards,
HORNE and Leische, the German,
were the three finalists. With the
bar at 6:3, Leische cleared easily on
his first try. The Americans missed
their first two tries and then HORNE
failed on his third and final at
tempt. With one try left and vic
tory at stake, Richards cleared the
bar with q tremendous effort and
went on to win at 6:3 "a.
In view Of American supremacy
otherwise it is still something Of q
mystery to note the lapse in 1906.
when the best any representative OF
the United States could do was tie
for third place at 5:7-8. The win
ming mark that year, only two
inches higher. is the lowest on
Olympic record.
By contrast, in 1912, six Of the
first seven in the final standing
were Americans. Four out OF the
first five places were captured in
1920 and three out of four at Paris
in 1924. Templeton, whose tutoring
will have q lot to do with it, pre-
diets that it will be . least 1-2-3

YANK WATER DOGS
HOPE TO CAPTURE
0LYMPIAD HONORS
Johnny Weismuller Grooml
Polo Team to Destroy
Europe's Supremacy

Chicago, May 19.-@-America
hopes to end Europe's traditional
supremacy in water polo with a
team Of veterans at the Olympic
games this summer.
The team is that Of the Illinois
Athletic Club Of Chicago, which
won the national championship at
the National Amateur Athletic
Unions indoor tournament this
month. It will be the first time q
single team has represented
America in the event, the former
practice being to send an all-star
outfit.
With the exception Of Paul Sam
son, former University of Michigan
swimming captain, the champions
have been members of the tri-color
clubs water polo team for many
years, mastering q coordination OF
play that characterizes that Of the
flashy European teams.
"Buddie" Wallen, captain, Is one
of the best water polo players in
the nation, and the Babe Ruth Of
the team. In the finals Of the ma
tional championships against the
Olympic Club of San Francisco,
Wallen scored four Of the l. A. C.'s
seven points.
Paired at forward with Wallen is
Johnny Weissmuller, worlds cham
pion sprint swimmer. Because Of
his speed, Weissmuller starts the
play at center and seldom fails to
get the ball. Fred Lauer is con-
sidered without q peer anywhere as
a goal keeper. The others, Samson,
Francis McDermott, Ollie Horn,
Hugo Miller and Sam Greiller, are
among the nations fastest SWIM
mers.
Water polo IL increasing rapidly
in popularity in the United States.
Whereas, . few years ago, there
were but few teams, today virtually
every large university has one or
more teams.
England still is the center Of
water polo, however. There they
have leagues and scores Of games
weekly, raising the standard Of
play over that in this country.

today. Rain caused Promoter

New York, May 19.-tF-Forced
to postpone his lightweight titular
match between Sammy Mandell, the
Rockford Sheik," and Jimmy Nc
Larnin, the BAY Faced" dyna-
mite listed Pacifi, coast challenger,
for two days in row, Tex Richard
rescheduled it again for the Pole
grounds next week. y
The third postponement threw
some concern into the camps of both
Mandell and Mc.arnin. 1t meant
that both would have to weigh in
again at the offices of the New York
state athletic commission.
McLarnin at that time was
a half pound under the lightweight
limit of 1875 pounds. Mandell just
barely made it after a brisk work
out had removed an extra half
pound of weigh. from the cham.
pion's body.
Had the bout been held last night
both boxers would have llterc,. the
ring over the Init. Now they are
confronted with the necessity Of
getting down to 1876 pounds again,
Both insisted this would be easy but
the experts were of another opinion
Soon after the second postpone
ment was announced yesterday
Mandell and McLarnin went to
work. The champion went through
the equivalent of III rounds of cxer-
else. The coast slugger shadow
boxed, skipped rope and punched
the bags for nile.

Hal 0sborn's High Jump
Record Near Extinction
Americas Olympic Supremacy
Not Endangered With Ten
Jumpers Capable of Doing
Better Than 6 Feet, 4 Inches
Should Finish 1928
By ALAN J.'GOULD


(Ass0clated Press Sports Edit0r)
New York, May 19.-In a year
that seems to be shattering all pre-.
cedent for high flying the famous
schoolmaster, Hal Osborn, may have
to yield the high jumping Olympic
crown to one or another Of the as
tonishing crop Of new altitude
makers.
When America can mention off
hand the names of ten jumpers who
have done feet 4 inches or better
there isn't much prospect that the
nations supremacy in this branch
of field sports will be menaced at
Amsterdam.
The veteran Osborn has been
troubled off and on during the past
few years by a weak ankle or
strained thigh tendons. Half his leg
has been tapped up in recent COM
petition but even with such handi-
caps the bespectacled star Of the
Illinois A. c. is as good or better
than half his rivals.
Whether or not Osborn is able to
stage q comeback he can rest on q
pretty fair share Of laurels already
won. He captured the Olympic title
four years ago at Paris, beating out
the slim Dartmouth star, Leroy
Brown, with record leap Of feet
6 inches. That was Osborn's great
est year, 1924. for he also won the
Olympic decathlon title and set q
new worlds high jumping mark Of
6 feet, 8 IA inches. That record
still stands. The closest it has come
to being touched was two years ago
when Haggard, Texas star, leapcd 6
feet, Z IA inches.
Haggard il among the foremost
Olympic contsnders this year. So
are Burg Of Chicago, Coggeshall Of
the Olympic club, San Francisco:

COMPLETING LEGAL CATCH
What is regarded rs neces-
ssry to complete 4 legal catch
of a thrown ball on q play at
first base or q force play?


Major league umpires regard the
hands as the means Of completing
play on a thrown ball. That is,
the ball must be securely held in the
hand or hands of the fielder making
the play.
If on a play at first base, or q
force play at any other base, the
ball arrives head Of the runner, he
is out, provided the ball is securely
held by the fielder prior to the time
the runner reaches the base.
If a ball is thrown to the first
baseman and it reaches him several
feet in advance Of the runner, the
runner is out Il the ball is securely
held in advance of him.
However, If the ball which reached
the fielder in advance Of the runner
is juggled, and in the interim be-
fore the ball is securely held the
runner reaches the base, he is safe.
have received many inquiries
in which the player juggles the ball,
then has it roll up his arm, and
prior to the runner reaching the
base, the fielder has the ball firm
" under his arm or held against
his body by his elbow.
The question is, does such hold
ing Of the ball complete the play
and should the runner be called out?
AS stated above, major league
umpires work on the theory that
baseball is played with the hands
relative to the actual catching OF
the ball. For that reason they
would not regard such . happening
as the completion Of . play at first
or q force play at any other base.
To complete . catch. the ball must
be securely held in the hand OF
hands Of the fielder making the
play, is the way the umpires view It.

And they have two natural
enemies they must always fight
relentlessly in the battle of the sur
vival of the fittest that ever goes
on beneath the murky waters of the
Missouri.
Ware Pirate Fish
They are the beaver, rapidly in
creasing in number under federal
protection, who destroy their nets
and the alligator gar, pirate fish,
who lives on spawn, minnows and
small food fish.
Every fine morning long before
sunrise Bismarck's conw1ercial
fishermen are on their way to the
fishing grounds. Almost any MORN
ing, sometimes within sight of the
capitol they seq deer coming down
to the river to drink.
It's hard work, but it's a great
life and they love it, the Cayas and
Copsey admit.
It was nearly sunset last night
when the fishermen came home to
their shack on the east bank of the
river. just south of the Northern
Pacific bridge.
"Sportsmen ought to know" said
one of the Cayas, "that there is
big chance to develop fishing for
sport in the Missouri. The best
ground is shallow, running water.
The average sportsman fisherman
doesn't understand fishing in the
river. He doesn't fish in the right
places and he doesn't use the proper
methods.
Running Water Best
He doesn't know that for sport
fishing still water is not the best.
/ Our experience is available any time
to any fisherman fishing for sport
and think we can give them some
valuable hints.
1.-TWO years Of fishing here have
taught US some things. I believe
that the fish are much like the
birds. They go down river in win
ter and return in spring-many Of
them at least.
"This seems to be proven by the
fact that we get an occasional run
Of Missouri suckers, long, black
fish, fine fvr food. They have five
fins. We have taken an occasional
! steelhead salmon and rainbow trout
in our nets. These, of course, must
come down from the Montana noun
tain country. Fish move too with
every rise in the river. We prove
this conclusively in our everyday ex-
perience. We expect as good fish
ing as we will get this year follow
ing the present RISE"
Fish Year Round
The commercial fishermen work
in the bayous and still spots along
the river, using trammel nets and
steel wire nets baited with stale
cheese, which are especially effec-
tive. Carp and buffalo make up the
bulk Of their daily catch. Occa-
sionally they get a spoonbill stur-
geon. There are few choice blue
cat in most catches of summer
fishing. Fishing continues during
the winter with nets being hauled
under the ice.
The commercial fishing grounds
at Bismarck extend about Is miles
up the river and q like distance
down. The up-river bayous are
worked one day and the down-river
the next. The greater part Of the
catch is sold daily at the plant.
Regular customers in the city are
supplied every Thursday.
The Cayas and Copsey are fish
ermen Of many years experience.
They came to Bismarck two years
ago from the Winnishek bottoms
on the Mississippi, below La Crosse,
where they were river fishermen
from boyhood.
