Newest Major Umpire Boasts Of Experience When President b. B. Johnson of the American League signed Emmett (Red) Ormsby, former marine, to umpire in his circuit next year, he also signed Howard (Ducky) Holmes. There two worked in the Western League last season.

Little damage w inflicted, there were no knockdowns, no blood was spilled, but despite all this there was action every minute. T never s better footwork, faster action in the neat boxing, clinches, or better sportsmanship. Duri 12 rounds not once did the refe: hand on either boy. At his command to break, they im- diately stepped back and broke e: Once, one of the contestants slipped to the floor and became slightly entangled with the ropes. His rival graciously helped him to his feet. fast exhibition, yet It was too clever for most of the ctators. Both boys had too good a defense. In other words, neither packed a knockout punch. In the fight game, the count of 10 carries the same thrill as a wallop over the fence in baseball with the bases filled. At one stage of the fight some of the displeased fans whistled the Merry Widow w: while the boys, with their brilliant footwork, glided ubout the ring. All of which brings us back to the opening statement fhat the fellow who packs the punch is always cn the verge of doing big things. The ring has known few brainier fighters than Johnny Kilbane, Kil-} bane, to use a sporting term, has | everything—even the punch when ne | sets to use it. However, throughout his ring career, Johnny has been content to win in the easiest manner possible. The fact that he has held the cham- pionship over 10 years, while most champions fade out in two or three | years, makes it seem that Kilbane has the right system. Yet Kilbane, because he has al- | ways saved his hands, rarely trying | for knockouts, has never reached the heights of popularity that have crowned fighters of the Stanley Ketchel, Bob Fitzsimmons, Terry McGovern or Jack Dempsey type. It’s the same story in baseball. The player who can smack ‘em is the big favorite. “Wee Willie” Keelet, who recently | died at his home in Brooklyn, was tne brainy type of batsman. A ‘past- | master of the art of bunting, and a wonderful place hitter, Keeler was ' one of the most dangerous batters ; in the history of baseball. The feats of Keeler required much thought and effort, plus perfect co- ordination. While Keeler was ap- preciated by those actively connect- ed with the game, the fans never marveled at his feats as they did the record-breaking wallops of Babe Ruth. Keeler, unlike Ruth, never broke the attendance , record in practically every city he ever played. Keeler never received the homage from thet fans that has been paid Ruth, yet the feats of Keeler were infinitely more difficult. | We are hve in anvera of swat- You must pack a punch if you seek the big things and are looking for the hero worship.

Walker had won 27 games and lost 11 with New Orleans, In the Soutiaern League that year were Johnny Glazner, Johnny Mor- rison, Clyde Barfoot, Indian Yellow- horse, Thomas Sheehan, Johnny Suggs and Dazzy all of waom advanced to the majors, Walker was touted as easily the best prospect of the buneh, a pitcher ready to take his turn asa big league regular. That's what Rickey was looking for, Star in the Minora, A year and a half with the Car- dinals and Walker had failed for the third time and back to New Orleans he drifted. When the 1922 pifching averages of the Southern League were issued it was discovered that Walker was the prize of the list. He had won 10 of the 11 games in waich he pitched and he featured wit an earned-run column of 1.32, the best pitching rec- ord of the season for all leagues, Five games were won by shutouts and he had three on-hit victories. Major leagte scouts say that there isn’t another pitcher who compares with Walker as a minor league pitcher. But the color changes when Walked tackles the big-time stuff. New Pittsburg Manager Profits By Mistakes Of Former Leader By NEA Service Pittsburg, M: 6.—An_ experi ment tried by eorge Gibson in starting the s on with the Pittsburg Pirates i the famillar lin You can't teach an old dog new tricks,” Although Max Carey had been recognized as one of the most bril- liant center fielders in the National League and Carson Bigbee the equal of anything in left field G n switched these two stars in opening nswered wiia the season. Carey moved over io left and Bigbee was in center. Of course, Gibson had a motive for such a change. What is it was no one ever learned, but the Pirates lost the first three games to the Cardinals in St. Louis with Carey in left and Bigbee in center. As the center fielder Bigbee mis- Judged drives that Carey could have caught his eyes closed. _ And there was Max over there in! left field unable to get the focus and the range of things in his strange home. After the series with the Cardinals Gibson admitted that he had blun- dered and Max was back in center, while Bigbee was in left. The peculiar part about it all is, that the Pirates with their regular combination in the field went out and won six straight games. Max snatching those low and long drives, while Bigbee was going to the edge of the left field wall and over to the foul line for spectacular catches, “What about the Pirates as a pen- nant contender this year?” Bill Me- Kechnie, manager, was asked re- cently. “All that I-can tell you about the Pirates at this moment,” answered Bill, “is that Max Carey will play center field and Bigbee will be on left.” 1 Brilliant Eddie. Collins Tells How See Once Showed Him Up Eddie Collins is generally regard- ed as one of the brightest players in the major leagues. He richly de- jserves that distinction, because brains is always a part of his play. However, it is possible for the best of player to be tricked and made to look foolish. Usually it takes an equally keen player to turn the trick. Recently Collins was asked by an linguiring reporter if he had ever been made to look foolish on the ball field. “Often,” replied Collins, “but to Tris Speaker goes the credit of showing me up in the worst possible style, yet in being shown up I was playing safe, conservative ball.

D., Mar. 5.—The Hal- liday girls’ basketball team defeated the quint from Werner at the audi- torium Saturday afternoon for the second time this season. So far Hal- liday has defeated every team that she has played with during the year, not a game lost. At the early stage of the season she was handicapped on account of being shut out of prac- tice, but the girls stepped out and won the first game just the same' and has kept the winning streak up to the last.

Speaker trapped the ball back of second, then dashed in and touched me standing on the base, then touched the base. “I had remained on second and the other runner held first, believing the hit had been ruled an infield fly. It’ wasn’t, so when Speaker touched me standing on the base ne retired me, and by touching the base he retired the runer on first who was forced to advance to make room for the batsman.

Human nature in the mass is very much like human nature in the individual. One of its dominant eharac- teristics hasbeen summed up in the observation, “You never miss the water till the well’ runs dry.” We never appreciate fundamental things until we have occasion to.do without them. This observation has a special application to the De- mand of the public for the products of industry. While the Demand was at high tide and everybody was busy trying to supply that: Demand at a profit no one, seem- ingly, gave a thought to where:the Demand came from, how long it might last, or what would happen if it should fail. We merely assumed the permanent existence of the emand; just:as we assume the] presence of water; air, and fire. But'a day came when Demand began to subside, and in‘many industries it dame almost to a full stop. And then we missed it, and realized, as never before, what an important thing it was: And we began to inquire where it came from in the first place, and how it might be restored. « We always knew—everybody knew—that Desire for things made a Demand for them in the market. That people desired things we accepted as an elemental fact. But when we discovered that Desire fluctuated we be- gan to appreciate that-Desire, as we know it, is a thing created by the-art of man. It is a highly specialiged form of an elemental need—just as a\Louis XY] chair is made out of a trée, ‘ This discovery led to another equally important dis- covery that the means of refining and specializing that’ Desire was-Adveértising. ‘The gigantic work that has heen accomplished by modern advertising now stands ~ out:in bold relief. It has been the means by which the refinements of civilization haye been made known and made desirable, and this desire has been made into De- mand. Itisa simple fact that a million profitable forms of industrial activity owe:their very existence to the, fact that: Advertising upheld the standards of living which in turn provided the demand for their products. a 4¥ ned by the Bismarck Tribune, in in co-operation he American Aasoctarign of Advertising Agencies oie {
