RALPH CRAIG AND PAT McDONALD MAKE
ENVIABLE RECORDS AT OLYMPIC GAMES
When Ralph C. Craig of the
Detroit Y. M. C. A. flashed home
In front of Don Llpplncott in the
200-meter sprint at Stockholm, he
hung up the -first double victory
of the Olympic .games—and ran
Ms last Olympian race for Uncle
jam.
. Ralph Craig is through with
athletics. Before leaving De
troit to join the American team,
lie declared that win or lose he
would return to his position as
'lead of the scientific department
if the F. Steams laboratories and
orget athletics.
No more will he figure to clip a
enth of a second from a world's
Uhletic record. Instead he will
levote his time to clipping a
tenth of a cent from the cost of
producing castor oil.
Experts say Craig could win
the hundred and double hundred
meters for Uncle Sam in 191 C and
i.i'l three other events to his
string, if he cared to. He was a
,'i-pat hurdler, at Michigan uni
versity, under Keen Fltzpatrick,
and a grand quarter niller. Close
students say he could establish
world's records at the double fur
long and both hurdles, if he
cared to.

PAT M DONALD.
Pat McDonald ,the New York
policeman.familiarly known as
"Babe," surprised athletic sharps
by beating Ralph Rose, in tne
"best hand' slot-put, breaking all
records. He was second to Rose
in the right-and-left-band shot

and grandfather were splendid

the boy who played a wonderful
backfleld for the Wolverine eleven
under Yost, last fall.
But Ralph Craig never en
thused over athletics.. He worked

believed he could make the moat

Rivers Would Claim Title
Wolgast Refuses to Sign
LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 15.
—The controversy between Ad
Wolgast and Joe Rivers reached
the biling point when Joe Levy,
manager for RiveTS, today issued
a statement that unless the cham
pion within 48 hours declares
himself regarding a return match
he will claim the title for his
Mexican protege. Levy demands
an end to quibbling and an im
mediate signing of articles and
offers to bet $3,000 at the prevail
ing odds.
Levy's statement, far dlfferenr.
from the silent policy he adopt
ed after the July 4 battle at Ver
non, is an out and out defl to
Wolgaßt. Furthermore It dis
credits the champion's claim of
three broken bones la his left
wrist.
Replying to the challenge,
Wolgast angrily said:
"Rivers' challenge, through
Levy's statement, Is the greatest
outburst of hot air ever sprung
by a loser. This streak at yellow
need not be afraid he won't gel
another fl«ht. And I'll beat him
before the limit is reached. -tf'H

Always he was a studious, In
dustrious boy, who refrained from
putting himself forward. At Mich
igan he was so unreasonable as to
insist that he was there for study,
first, and 100-yard dashes after
ward, and so narrowly escaped
having the scholarly Phi Beta
Kappa honor thrust upon him.
Incidentally, there is a sweet
heart in the deal, they say, and
Craig deems it best to quit being
a boy of 23 and become a man or
iflairs. When he returns to De
l roit he will establish a home ana
hang his running trunks and
spiked shoes in the attic.
bet on that, too.
"I'll sign for my fights when
ever I get ready. I happen to
be the champion and, no one shall
dictate to me what I shall do.
"In regard to Levy's statement
that he will claim the title Tor
Rivers, let him go ahead and do
it. He'll only make himself tlie
laughing stock of the sporting
world. Championships are won
by brains and fists, not by hoi
air."
Wolgast has little to say re
garding McCarey's offer for the
proposed Labor day battle. It is
understood that he Is demanding
terms that the promoter has re
fused to meet.

CAL SHILLING IN HIS NATIVE

Oal Shilling, America's best
jockey, receives a retaining fee of
$12,000 a year from H. C. Hal
lienbeck, a millionaire eastern
turfman, and yawns when the
figure is mentioned, remembering
the "good old days" when Sam
Htldreth paid him $20,000 for
the first call on his services^and
second and third call brought
$10,000 and $G.OO-0 respectively.
Shilling halls from Paris, Tex.,
and owns a majority of the com
mercial enterprises of the place.
There is a Shilling grocery, a
Shilling hardware store, a Shill

Shilling places, started by the
premier jock, and some day he
may own enough real estate to
change the name of the town to
Shilling.

Jockeys like Shilling command
large sums for their services, but
as Fred Cook, the old-line book
maker, sagely asked. "What's the
use owning a good horse if you
haven't a good rider for him?"
Shillings pilots the Hallenbsck
horses, including Worth, Adams
Express, Fauntleroy, Prince Gal
and Azyiade, and his owner be
lieves $12,000 cheap for the mas
ter hand to guide them.
The "best jockey" is tall for
