JACK POWELL NOW UMPIRE Former Casper Leaguer Wins Berth With Major League. L. A. Reed, father of the Midwest league when it.flourished here in 1921 and Casper’s most ardent base- ball fan, yesterday received word from Jack Powell that he had been figned as a National league umpire for 1924. Powell was an outfielder with the Casper team in the Mid- west league but his legs went bad early in the season and he was unable to play again that year. He was one of the most popular men on the team with both the players and the fans. Rolla Maple, former Casper pitcher, has been in town recently and brought personal news of many of the Casper players who helped bring the pennant here in 1921 after a bitter post season series with Denver. Maple is employéd by the Simmons Bed company of Kenosha, Wis., and pitches ball for their team in the summer months. Kenosha supports two teams in one of the hottest independent ball leagues in the country: On the Simmons team, in additionto Maple are Bob Steele, pitcher and Charley Jackson, outfielder, both one time Casper stars. Daye Davenport, the elongated Casper pitcher who led the league here in 1921, 1s with Beloit and Charley Donica, ex- Casper shortstop, is with the Nash Motors of Kenosha. Other former Midwest league players in this league are Niles, Schoonover and Silcott.

Penley and Feat tht Champ Johnny Moran of New Orleans after 15 By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—(United Press.)}—Boxing champions, accord- Ing to the accepted line of reason- ng, should be forced to defend their Utles at least occasionally. The New York boxing commis: sion, exercising jurisdiction over the sport in its most active field, at- tempts to enforce the rule that a champion must defend his title at least once in each six months. The New York commission has not succeeded, because it has been corced to admit its inability to make several of the champions observe that rule. Thé rule ts fair in theory and in principle, but it might be aggued that if champions should be forced to actually prove that they are champions, challengers likewise should be forced to fight to show their right to challenge. ‘The New York commission has suggested that a champion who dogs not want to defend his title who has outgrown his class. should announce his retirement, so that the commission could arrange a tournament among the challeng- ers to decide the successor to the title. This was a compromise, or a back-step, made after the commis- sion had learned that it couldn't de- clare titles! of non-active’champions vacant and appoint new champions. As the attempt to select new champions failed, bringing much humiliation upon the commission. so will the idea of tournaments fall short of success if it is attempted. The same thing, in this” case, would happen that 1s now taking place in England, where the boxing officials are trying to decide upon a new fiyweight champion, Jimmy Wilde, who was knocked out last summer by Pancho Villa, announced his retirement from the ring and the title of British fly- weight champion was made vacant. British officials thought it would be a pious idea to put the title up for open competition and award it to the survivor of an 2 tournament among the challengers. It failed to succeed. The contenders all claimed the title and not one of them was will- ing to fight to prove his right to the title. The title is now claimed by four contenders. Although the champions of three notorious classes in the United States have not retired, and will not retire, the same situation would be found in this country if the title should become vacant. Take the light heavyweight class, for instance. ‘There are more good contenders in the Hght heavyweight class for the title held by the worst of all the champions than in any other class. Mike McTigue, the world’s cham- pion, became the champion in a joke fight, and he has been one ever since. The first time he meets a champion was working, Dundee won the decision over Pal rotinds of fighting at Madison Square Garden, New York City. Photo taken during 14th round. THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE CHAMPS FIGHT, FARRELL DECLARES commission then would arrange a tournament among all the contend e~s. The commission hardly would want to make the matches, so it might be plausible that the names would be mixed in a hat and drawn out in pairs, Figuring that the names of Gene Tunney, Tommy Gibbons, Harry Greb, Mike Burke, Ad Stone, Young Stribling, Jack Burke and Jimmy Delaney were shaken up in a box and drawn out. What would the first one say who drew Gibbons? What would Stone say about fighting Tunney? What would Tunney say about fighting Striblipg? The answers to these and many more questions are obvious. Gibbons is the only one who would be willing to fight anyone drawn out of the hat, but he couldn’t get any of them, The commission would have t6 pick him as the win. ner and the others would refuse to recognize a picked champion. Supposing that Georges Carpen- ter would be considered as an eligible candidate. How + many, ex- cepting Gibbons, on that list of con- tenders would be willing to fight the Frenchman. They all say they would, but doing it is a different matter. Take the case of Gene Tunney, a very lUkable fellow, a fine char- acter and a credit to the game, but not a great fighter, simply because he wasn't born with the natural qualifications of a fighter. rank Flourney, matchmaker at Madison Square Garden, had been trying since last July to get a match for Tom Gibbons. Eddie Kane, manager of Gibbons, had agreed to terms and had told him to sign any- one from Dempsey down, with the exception of Harry Wills. Flourney, leaning toward a cham: pionship match because more money could be taken 'n at the gate when tried many times to get Tunney to fight Gibbons, but Tunney positively re- fused to consider any kind of térms. Ficurney then told Kane that he couldn't get Gibbons a match. Tex Rickard, just recently, signed Gibpons to meet Dempsey and then Tunney stepped out and challenged Gibbons. He said that he had been after Gibbons for months and that Gibbons would not fight him. Tunney knew, in making his be- lated “challenge” that Gibbons could not fight him after he had signed for the Dempsey match. pomiait tert ntti fitieas Man Convicted In Labor War Denied Hearing FIELD, Ill., Feb. 6.—Wil- (WINNER OF CON LEY-WEBSTER BATTLE TOMORROW NIGHT WILL MEET SIMONICH ON NEXT CARD All of the fighters who appear on the card at the Columbia theater tomorrow evening are in town and waiting for the bell to send them on thelr way. Several of them includ- ing Roy Conley, Ernie Ross, Young Sol, Al Webster, Young Winifred and Willle Freemans worked out yesterday at the Casper Athletic club and they look in first class condition. Frankie West, the Denver bantam, came in on this morning’s rattler and Jimmie* Woodhall of Ther mopolis, the last of the scrappers to arrive, will be here this evening. The winner of the Conley-Webster go will be matched on the next card with Al Simonich, the Butte. Mont., marvel. Simonich has met them all from coast to coast in the last three years and is always in demand as he is a hustling, tearing fighter that doesn't always win but always giv the fans a run. He has fought Billy Wells, Jock Malone, Dave Shade, Cowboy Padgett and a lot of other good ones. The Webster-Conley fight should be a fine scrap. Webster is pri- marlly a fighter, sacrificing science to a boring in style with a heavy wallop. Conley, oy the is clever, and may t other hand fast enough to keep away from Webster's heavy punches while he is inflicting. dam- age on the Billings boy. The Woodhall-Ross match will be as good if not a better fight than the headliner. Woodhall has won four times straight in Casper this winter but in Ernie Ross he is meeting a man with plenty of ex- perience, punch and ring knowledge. Ross is in splendid shape after a year’s layoff and is anxious to g¢t back to the top of the heap. If he beats Woodhall he will be matched with the best the Rocky Mountain region can produce. Young Sol and Frankie West should put up a nice exhibition with the odds about even, taking into consideration their records. Young Sol is more or less an unknown quantity in these parts but he has met the best on the coast while West has been fighting them all In and sround Denver for a couple of years. The preliminary will bring to gether Young Winifred and Willie Freemans, two colored bays. Tom Meaney will referee with Ray McDermott and Steve Stirrett acting as judg There will be a quartet to knock off jazz harmony between bouts. a good contender he will lose, and he knows it. So he refuses to meet any of them. Supposing, however, that McTigue should retire and the title would be declared vacant.

Luis has been having a pleasant time in Buenos Aires for going on five months now. Time flies and if he wastes much more time it will be too late to gain all that experience which he said he intended to take into the ring with him when he meets Dempsey again. He will.need it for Wills for that matter, if Gart- land succeeds in swaying Luis against the wishes of Tex Rickard. Such experience as Firpo needs is to be had only against the ablest American heavyweights and the sooner he begins to work in accum- ulating it the better it will be for him, Can Spalla keep out of Firpo’s way and at the same time pepper him with gloves?

By WALTER CAMP (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—What would rowing men of “Foxy crofts day at Harvard and Cook's day ‘at Yale say, if they could read news that Ed Stevens of Cor. nell, later coach of Portland Boat Club of Pacific coast will coach Har. vard's crew next season, assisted by Sam Shaw, Captain and number 6 of the Washington crew which won at Poughkeepsie last year. And what would they say if they read on the same day that Yale will have as her rowing tutor none other than Ed Leader, former oarsman and coach of the Washington crew with George Murphy stroke of the 1922 crew of Washington, as his assist- ant. ° How on the other hand, would ola Hiram Conibear chuckle if he were alive to see his University of Wash- ington stars moved to the effete eastern seaboard to teach Harvard and Yale how to row. Columbia too has mage a shift and let Jim Rice go, replacing him with Fred Miller. A good many people are becoming anxious ovér the disagreements that are cropping out between America’s representatives and the against the time the Riverton squad has taken into camp Glenrock and Doug las, both of which defeated Casper in early season games. Athletic of- ficials at the high school are justi- fied in expecting a large attendance as the game should be one of the best witnessed here this year. Davis and BloAgett probably will start the game for Casper as for- ended. Good preliminartes are booked as curtain-raisers for the main game. The East and North Casper grade teams, which rank highest in their divisions, will probably be matched, and girls’ class teams will also ap- pear in an exhibition game. The games will start at 7:30 o'clock. paca amt iret dass WELL-MERITED SUCCESS A distinguished citizen, honored politically and. professionally, Dr. R. French] V.
