CHANGES SYSTEM
FOR BREAKING ‘
RECRUIT UMPIRES
By Nea Service.
CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—A number of
new faces will be seen on the Ameli-
can staff of umpires the coming sea-
son. President Johnson has already
and Clarence Rowland. It is said that
the head of the American League has
two other new umpires under aci'ise-
ment.
President Johnson il‘tcnds to adopt
a different system this year relative
to his new men. Instead of having
them make their debut in a regular
league game, he intends that they will
get accustomed to big league methods
during the spring training.
Working on those lines. President
Johnson has assigned Ormsby to work
the exhibition gamer in the south with
the. Washington team, while Rowland
will be with the Athletics. '
It is believed that such training will
greatly aid the new men to get away
to a good start. It will sharpen them
up on big league methods and inci-
(lcntly give Resident Johnson a cer-
tain line on their real ability.

Tex Rickard Stands Out as Greatest
Promoter 1n History of Pugilistic Sport
When it comes to promoting prize
fights—or boxing matches. if you de—
sire—on a. big scale. you' ve got to
hand it to Tex Rickard, the world's
leading impresario.
For Tex believes in doing Big things
and doing them right. He delights in
hanging up tempting offers for cham-
pion pugilists to battle for... Pugs 'who

glory— e mazuma is always there.
The three largest purses that have
ever been put up in the annals oi the
ring have been oifered by the crafty
Rickard.
have been made to look like selling
platers by Richard in his merry race
to establish record stakes.
In 1910 Rickard startled the entire
sporting world and incidentally made
Jack Johnson and Jim Jeflrles feel
like "kings" when be altered the un-
heard of sum of 8101.000 for a bd‘ut
between Big Jeff and the‘ colored
champion. The whole world gasped
at the size of the "kitty."
Nine years laterRickard even out-
did this effort at Toledo when \Villard
and Dempsey received $127,500 to de-
cide the heavyweight title. Of this
amount. Jess drew down a cold 100,-
7 000 bucks as his share of the purse.
When Dempsey‘and'Cax-pentier met
at Boyle's Thirty Acres in 1921. Jack
carted away exactly 8300.000. which
he was to receive. win. lose or draw.
while the Frenchman got $200. 000.
The purse of $500. Opo—half a million
berries, thert'tore. was four times as
much s‘had ever been offered for a
ring enc
ism.
Perhaps the "battle on the century"
or whatever they Want to call it wasn't
worth that sum. but. at any rate five

is extremely doubtful if a larger
purse than that will ever be put up to
get two ring experts together again.
But it it. is. it will no doubt be Tex
Rickard who will turn the trick. for
the care- free and easy- -going Tex is
the king of tight promoters the world
doing bi'g
over. He just dates on
thing in a big way—bigger than any-
one else would think of doing them.
