e'TVhcn O'Brien walked Into Curley's
fofflca yesterday tho noted pugilistic Im
lereiarlo was busily engaged with some
I . -. t.1.. ,1a. V .TnwM cnrofnllt, lnl.1 n
'certified check for J10.C0O beforo tho pro
moter and then asked, "If Mr. Curley la

tkltor effuslvay.
1 inu1i obliged for tho llttlo present.
?ck" he Bald, "lhat ten thousand buekrf
will como In handy this winter. P-r bo
It from mo to becomo ois,nnl. however,
tut what's tho Idea? "rt ny the generous
tHtf
f "I am serious, Curley," replied O'Brien.
"That check jroes ns a KUnrnnteo of good
V.tih In tho offer I lm nbout to mako you.
I represent a Mr. Miller, head of n Phila
delphia syndicate, and I now offer you
0,000 for tno wiimru-.Moran ugnt, the

f Curley studied tho check for a moment.
Then he looked up and sold: "Sorry,
lack, but I havo nbout decided to pull
off the big show by myself. Your offer
k tne best mndo thus fnr, hut I don't
(htnk that I can consider It. Fifty thou

jStThat little word BUT which ended Mr,

"Tho most perfect form ot any high
Jumper since tho dnys.ot Mlko Sweeney,"
s tho way nthlctlc exports rcfe to the
high Jumping of Wesley Oler, Jr., tho
Yalo track cnptnln. And In the same
breath innny of thorn hope that beforo his
days of competition aro over ho Will hold
tho world's record ns n rebuke to tho
"California stylo" of high Jumping, by
means of which first Oconto llorlne, of
Lelnnd Stanford, nnd then T3. W. Hccson,
of the University of California, sup
planted Sweeney's record of C feet B
Inches, made 20 yenrs ngo,
Hver since Horlne catno out ot tho
West with his combination roll nnd dlvo
method ot clearing tho bar tho argument
has rnged over whether or not It Is legiti
mate. Hut there Is no Uestlon about
tho method used by Oler, for It Is nn
exact dupllcnto of tho stylo that made
Sweeney famous nnd which Is taught by
most Eastern coaches.
Tho best high Jumping Oler ever did
was last year, nnd hit record for con
sistency for the season Is duplicated only
by Richards, of Cornell. Olor's best work
was In the annual spring meet of tho
New York A. C , tho week following tho
lntcrcollcginto championships, when ha
cleared the bar nt C feet tHi Inches. This

leglnto record miulo tho week before.
Oler and Mlko Sweeney are. In fact, tho
only men who ever beat 8 feet 6 inches by
their stylo ot Jumping.
Oler, whose rather is president of the
American Ico Company, Is a. graduate of
tho Tawllng School, nnd ns ft, schoolboy
ho cleared 6 feet S Inches. That Jump put
him on the American Olympic tenm In
1912, but ho did not score nt Stockholm.
When ho 'went to Ynlo he accomplished
nlmo.it nothing during his first two years
owing to Injuries. Hut last year he came
Into his own and had a nlp-nnd-tuck bat
tle nil year with Richards. He lot to
tho Cornell man In tho Indoor I C. A. A,
A. A. games and also In tho Penn relays,
but ho got his revenge In the outdoor
championships on rpinklln Field with his
Jump of 6 feet 416 Inches.
In addition to being n champion high
Jumper, Oler Is good nt the broad Jump.
Ho did 23 feet 11 Inches In tho Ynlo-Hnr-vard
meet last yenr, but In tho Intcreol
leglato championships ho ilnlshcd only
sixth.
