FAR EAST ATHLETES PROMISE
TO SHGW WELL THIS SUMMER
NEW YORK, March 21. (By the
Associated Press.)—A new “Oriental
menace" is facing the Western world.
Fur from having any warlik 1 s.g
Jlificance, ho«-nv^,, the call » of "up
prehension" this time is baaed upon a
growing development of athletic
prowess in the Far East which threat
ens to challenge the supremacy of
American and European stars in va
rious branches of sport.
Comparatively littLe is realize 1 in
this country of the tremendous 'for
ward strides which athletics have
taken in the past decade in the
Orient, especially in China. Japan
and the Philippines, our island pos
session. These three nations, band
ed together in tho Far East rn Ath
letic Association, the major Oriental
sport governing body, have tuk -a
the initiative in putting recreational
activities on its present high plan
As the result of progress which
lias been unostentatious but pane tHe
(less effective, the rest of the uth
lettic tv o rid Is beginning to focus its
attention on this Far Eastern de
velopment. Right now particular in
terest is being manifested in the 1923
Far Eastern games, a bi-onulal affair
mod el led along Olympic lines. The
meet this year is the sixth since 1913
and will be held in Osaka, Japan,
beginning May 21. It promises to
witness a calibre of performanca com
paring favorably with the best in
this country and Europe, and in the
Far East it is looked upon as a
preliminary step toward real repre
sentation from that part of the world
in the Paris Olympics of 1924.
Conditions peculiar to the Orient
undoubtedly will preclude the pos
sibility otf Far Eastern peoples com
peting generally on an even footing
with their Caucasian rivals, but high
class talent in many branches of
getivity Is being produced as a re
suit cf systematic training ami en
couragement. As an example, the
Kst of track and field stars, accord
ing to latest reports, includes sev
eral lb-second sprint rs, while tin
usual proficiency |3 being dev lop;* ’
in such sports as swimming, t •nnii
and b axing.
Prr : of th' inv isica of western
standards also is shown in the pro
gram for the Far Eastern meet,
which will include competition in
volleyball, basketball, rugby football
and baimball.
Woman, ton, are following the lead
ership of their American and Euro
pean ulsters in taking a more active
part in athletics. Tennis and swim
ming events for feminine participants
form a par: of the in >rnational pro
gram.
American leadership and principles
have been largely responsible f. r the
athlete awak ning in the Far East.
Interest firs, was stimulated In the
Philippines, where natives proved
eager and apt pupils, and has sprea 1
throughout the Orient.
One of the outstanding figures in
this development was El wood 8.
Brown, of New York, now executive
officer of the newly launched Na
tional Amateur A'tWelle Federation,
but who for years stimulated ath
letic activity in the Far East as a
Y. M. C. A. worker. With others he
was (instrumental in staging the first
Ear Eastern games in 1913. at Ma
nila, and bringing China an 1 later
Japan into the Far Eastern Athletic
Association, Siam and Malaya also
wore induced to become 'members of
this association, but the outbreak of
the World War forced both to with
draw from active paMiaipation.
‘■Reports I have received from the
Far East indicate that this year's
games will bo the most successful
ever held," Mr. Brown declared in
Everywhere Praised —
Everywhere Admired
The refreshing originality and dashing
appearance of this Buick 4-cylinder
Sport Roadster has won the hearts of
men and women everywhere. They
marvel that such a wealth of brilliant
style and sparkling beauty can be
offered at its extremely low price.
I s low, racy, rich body, tailored khaki
top—-its embcssed leather upholstery—
its beveled plate glass side wings, and
shining nickeled fittinga-and innumer
able other refinements, are among the
reasons why it has found such favor
among those who wish a distinctive and

FIRPO STYLED
SECOND RATER
! BY N.Y. SHARPS
Argentine Fighter Too Slow
of Hand and Foot to
Get by Is Verdict.
NEW YORK, March t!4. Shrewd
Judges of fighting firm, men whose
Interest In the game ils measured by .
belt running in a tens of thousands,!
havo prao‘Tally made up their;!
minds about Luis Firpo. The visit
of BUI Brennan to the hospital to]
h tv > the sup]! i lily terrible injuries j
Firpo infla te I lias been taken into,
full account for whatever it may be
worth by th -e shrewd judge.
An Inquiry among places where .
'these hard-eyed, practical men gath-j
ered ‘elicited this fact. A crucial
point is that none of them is portion
lanly (interested in whether Bill Bren ]
nan's noodle was* treated with tin-!
usual roughness or whether Bill did;
a tank. or. lor that matter, windier :
he was really knocked out at all.
What does concern them is tha re-]
suit of their close scrutiny of Firpo '
In bis preliminary workouts as well ,
as in his battle with Brennan. They!
admit first of all that he’ can hit.!
But as anyone of them will tell yon, I
they can go out along the waterfront;
and dig up longshoremen who can j
hilt a frightful wallop, too.
The point about Firpo is that he
Is terribly slow of hands and slow of j
foot. Now, a quick hitter is Inva
riably a quick thinker. Firpo gives
no impression of using his Intellect i
at any rate of speotl. i -
Firpo would completely fill th.1 . .
bill of a gladiator, a modern “Aliy- [ .
smal brute." But Abysmal brutes •
are never champions any more. The] I
head counts mightily.
Firpo—a good second-rater. That'I
is the inside up and down on the Ar- >
gentinian. He is going to meet Dump I
sey, of course. And when he does,
the layers of odds will make it very |
interesting for Firpo's backers.
