Murphy, Syracuse reinsman, lias posted an offer to match Rose against any trotter in training, other (hah Peter Manning, 1 for a side bet of $25,000., Rose Scott, winner of the Kentucky Futurity for three-year-olds in 1921 and winner of the Transylvania for aged horses In 19(23, unquestionably Is one of the games and fleetest trotters and it. Is the opinion of horsemen that if Henry Oliver, of Pittsburgh, breeder ond owner of Rose Scott, really has made the offer referred to, it was not necessary to bar even Peter Manning, fastest trotter of all times. Rose Scott, daughter of Peter Sxtt, 2 :05, which was a son of the invincible Peter the Great, 2:07, is believed to he better than a two-minute horse right now.

'v v. Her terrific speed In the Transylvania last year gives every indication of this. She trotted two miles, one In 2:05, the other in 2:04 and her final (juarters :28 and were at the rate of a 1 :57 and 1 :54 clip, respectively. Few trotters In training possess the extreme speed of Rose Scott and her ability to carry that speed, and it. is quite possible that the owners of' other horses might not give Oliver's proposition serious consideration.

However, in the matter of racing horses it is a case of "you never can tell," and there may be more than one speedster capable of taking 'Rose's measure. It will be interesting to observe if there is any answer to Oliver's challenge. BY JOE VI LLIAM By JOE WILLIAMS.

DOUBT JAVELIN CHANCES I5y FRANK W.

GET TV, United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, June 28. -America should pick up about 70 points in the field events at Purls. This 1 a modem calculation, well within the team's ability. In Home events, there will scarcely be a flag on the pole save the Stars and Stries; in some, It must be our team probably will not win a place.

When we consider the performance of the shot-putters at Cambridge couple of days before the American contingent sailed for Paris, and realize that Charley Eastman, of Harvard, and Lieutenant Llversedge. U. S. couldn't even qualify with heaves of 47 feet 3 inches, we realize how preponderous is this country's strength in ths event. There are few weight men in Euorpe doing better than 45 feet, and the best of our men "Pud" Houser and Glen Hartranft from the far coast will dn better than 50 feet next month.

In the javelin throw and the discus, however, anything the I'nited States gets will be welcome. The showing made by our javelin hurlers at the final tyoirts at Cambridge was woefully ueak. From the press box. it looked as though Whelchell. Neufeidt and Prie-sler were handling their javelins rather clumsily, and all had trouble with the line, from behind which they were required to throw.

"Bud" Houser figures in the discus throw, too, but we are weak in this event, and might as well admit it. J. T. Lieh and Augustus Tope, both of the Illinois A. are about our best, and they should be ba lly beaten, unless they produce unlooked-for ability.

In the pole vault, it is just' the other way around. We have Sparrow, of Oregon, Iee Barnes, the High School kid, from Hollywood; Jim Brooker, of Michigan, and George Graham, of California Tech all capable of better than 13 feet. They might well be tied for first place against the world, although if Holf. the great Scandinavian vaulter, is in shape, he has bettered 13 feet 6 inches. Hoff had the misfortune to tear the ligament in his leg while training early this month, and was advised not to enter the Olympics.

Our high jumpers are the best in the world, Osborne and LeRoy Brown, particularly, and Tom Poor likely to beat either of them. The United States should account for several other places in the high jump. TO HOME IN MISS TO ME II GOOD REST PITTSBURGH, June 28. Babe Adams, Pirate veteran pitcher and hero of the 1909 world series, has returned to hs home in Bethany, for three weeks of complete rest. He will then come back to Forbes Feld, don a uniform and try out his arm.

He has been cautioned not to touch a ball while at home. Adams case is still a puzzling one. Every effort will be made to have him in shape for the late games this summer, where he should prove of Inestimable value, just to jump in the breach when one of the regulars starts to wobble. Pirate officials refuse to discuss the Adams case in any of its details. They admit that upon the advice of specialists Babe has been ordered home, but he is still carried on the club roster.

Adams himself is decidedly optimistic. He has confided in friends that he feels confident his arm will be ready before the season closes. If he felt otherwise, he would ask the Pittsburgh club for his unconditional release. Babe has an aggravated case of py orrhea and this Infection Is also being treated. The return of Adams to the Pirate bench and in shape to work when the nennant fight is sure to be exceedingly hot and there is need of every available bit of pitching strength, will mean a lot to the Buccos.

Here's hoping" the old boy Is able to again don the spangles. Watching the Score Board Yesterday's hero: Cooper, Pirate moundsman, who let the Cubs down with two hits, Pittsburgh winning, 9U0.

LONDON, June 28. John Bull has almost giveji up all hope of beating Uncle Sam in the great Olympiad at Paris this summer and weeks before the crucial tests are 'to take place. It Is true the British general Olym pic committee of the, Amateur Athletic Association has issued a list of provisional selections, which so far as mere numbers go looks formidable. But when analyzed this is not. so.

Even sporting writers and amateur trainers admit that many named in the list are not tip to Olympic form and will not be unless a miracle happens. Between now and July 5, when the main events, occur at Colombes, just outside of Paris, the Britons expect to do some tall hustling. Hopes De in Sprints. On the track, in the past, the British havei as a rule shone best in the longer distances, but this year they are pinning most of their hopes to beating America In the sprints. In the quarter mile one of the best in the island is Guy Butler, who, as school boy, won In 1919 in less than B0 seconds.

HQ is now stronger than when at school and is expected to give a good account of himself. H. B. Stallard, who did such wonders In 1921 as a runner In the races, Is again Britain's best bet However. Stallard has been so busy going after a doctor's degree that he may have gone stale as a runner.

Abrahams is Real Star. Two Cambridge students, D. G. Lowe and E. D.

Mountain, will enter for the 800-meters. They have good records at college as runners. In the, hurdles F. G. Gaby, at present British champion, and L.

F. Partridge are the two most likely entries for Big nonors. In the field events the best English is M. iS. Nokes, who is claimed to be a wonder with the hammer throwing game.

As in previous international contests, the British will pin most of their hopes to H. A. Abrahams, who Is the great est sprinter and long jumper in the country. El At the last meeting of the year, the Third Ward Pioneer Club of the Y. A.

held a tureen dinner at 6:30 on Thursday evening. The menu, whleh was enioved'bv 14 Pioneers, consisted of cold meat loaf, potato salad, cold ham and lettuce sana-wiches, olives, lemonade, and ice cream and cake. After the dinner had been served, the club presented Mr. Boorman, their Master Conmmander, with a fine fountain pen. He responded with a few words, expressing appreciation of the gift, and outlining the virtues of our early American Pioneers "the finest ancestry of any nation in the world." The following (Pioneers were present Russell Welton, William Sutherland, Ralph Hied, Theodore Valeski, Milton Smith, Leonard Valeski, Richard Brakeraan, Frank O'Neil, Joseph Opolka, Emerson Yarletts, William Parks, Charles Parks and Everett Hefferman.
