ANOTHER RICKAR MUST BE SOUGHT Boring Will Have to Look Far and Wide for His Sucosssor New York, Jan. 7 UP—Boxing in general, and Madison Square Garden more particularly, will have to look far and wide before it finds another Tex Rickard, a prophet not without honor in his own country. His death, many believe, will have a tremendous adverse effect upon the game. It was Tex who led boxing out of the wilderness. Perhaps another hand will be found to keep it in its Ppresent. position, but there are many disposed to doubt it. The one-time cowboy, gold miner and gambling hall proprieter found the game in disrepute, looked upon askance by those Tex himself would call the “best people.” He leaves it now a thoroughly reapectable sport, patrenized alike by upper and under- crust. With his passing the question naturally arises: “Who -is to succeed him?" At the moment, at least, there appears to be no satisfactory answer. Rickapd was not without his de- tractors. Yet there are few, if any, inclined to deny that it was Tex's genius that made boxing what it is today. His uncanny ability to fore- see what the public wanted enabled him to hang up purses, previously undreamed. of, and still clear huge profits qither for himself or the Gar- den corpomtion. The Garden, in- door home of boxing, hockey, bicycle racing, track and field meets and cther sports, stands almost as a per- sonal monument to the man. It is the house that Tex built. His was the brain that made it pay huge aividends, Whether another can suc- ceed as well remalins to be seen. For the present at least, the Gar- den prabably will operate under the Jjoint direction of Willlam F. Carey, vice president and treasurer, and Colonel Johu 8. Hammond, vice pres- ident and assistant general manager. One or the other of this pair event- uully may be selected to become Rickard's permanent successor. But in the event that neither iy chosen, there are others whose names already have been linked with gossip concerning the management of the Garden. Not the least often mentioned is the name of Jack Dempsey. The old Manassa Mauler, ready to fight once more for his friend, Tex, prob- ably will never enter the ring again. He has often said that he would fight for no one but Tex. Dempsey's rise m fortunes was synonymous with Rickard's. They were bound by strong ties, not only of business but of personal friendship. There is no denying that Dempsey's selection to head the boxing end of the Gary. den’s business would be & popular one. But Rickard's success was not due simply to popularity, Most of it can be attributed to far-sightedness wmounting to absolute genius. Another nominee for the vacant chair is John M. Chapman, csar of the six-day bicycle race game and a Tormer asgistant to Rickard. Chap- man is no novice in the gentle pro- motorial art. He has had the ben fit of long tutelage from Rickard, acknowledged as the greatest master of that art the world has ever seen since P. T. Barnum. ‘Whoever the successor, it may be written definitely that the Garden will complete all the projects Tex had in mind before his death, The §tribling-Sharkey match at Miam{ Beach, Fla., arrangements for which Rickard was making when he was stricken by acute gangrenous appen. dicitls, is to be ataged on its sche uled date, Feb, 27. For the rest, the Garden is hanging out a “business as usual” sign. That, Garden officials feel, is as Tex would have had it. HUGGINS SILENT ON THIRD SACKER Manager of Yankees Refuses fo Name Dagan's Successor New York, Jan. 7 UP—Miller Hug- gins, mite manager of the world champion New York Yankees, may know who will play third base for him next season—no one else does. Tre ganager who will assign the difficult position apparently is more interested at the moment on keep- ing a golf bail on the confines of 8t Petersburg greens. Joe Dugan, who has played third base for the Yankees in five world series, will not be among those pres- 4 Sound Fimancing Forthe Workingman ent when “Hug™ calls the roll at 8t. Pete, to replace “Jumping Joe" on the face of available retuns, the tittle strategist has Geno Robertson, who plaged 70 games at the position last year, Mark Koenig, if another shortstop is developed in the spring, and Jullan Wera, who has been ac- quiring experience in AA league for two years. Leo Durocher can play shortstop and Lyn Lary comes well recom- mended from Oakland but has yet 1 to earn his big league spurs. ‘Whea Huggins is conced- ed only one infleld problem it is as- sumed that Tony Lagseri will be himself again at second base. He was troubled with a bad shoulder last year. If the injury sbould per- .sist Durocher would have to be thrown into the base opening. There will be no argument at first base with Lou Gebrig playing the bag and pounding out home runs and George Burns In reserve to hit doubles. There will be no outfield revision. Babe Ruth, Earle Combs and Bob Meusel are intact and the two sub- stitutes of last year, Ben Paschal and Cedric Durst again will stand and watt. Benny Bengough, John Grabow. ski and Bill Dickey will be the club’s trio of catchers unless Arndt Jor- gens, an Oklahoma recruit, can fight his way in. A lineup of pitchers includes five left handers, indicating a battle of southpaws on the side. Herb Pen- nock, Tom Zachary and Fred Hei. mach are holdovers and Ed Wells, former major leaguer but later of Oklahoma City product, tions. Pepnock's arm kept him out of are addi- the wayside with a bad arm in 1928. Moore will not hazard a guess un- itil the sun shines bright in his old Okiahoma home, Walte Hoyt, George Pipgras, Hen- ry Johnson, Myles Thomas and Al Shealy are other veterans who will be back. Gordon Rhodes, Hollywood; Fay ‘Thomas, Oklahoma City; Roy She. rid, Montreal and Floyd Van Pelt, Montgomery, will make bids. The major league consensus, es- pecially in the National league, is that it will be no easy task to pre- vent the Yankees qualifying for an- other world series, no matter who plays third base.

HUNTS SON HELD BY APAGHE BAND Cattleman Leading Expedition Into Mexican Mountains Douglas, Ariz., Jan, 7.—M—Trek- king into the wild ravines of the Mesxican mountains south of the cattleman, is leading a party of 12 | men bent on finding the rendesvous of a band of Apache Indians, with | whom they expect to find Fimbres' kindnaped son. The expedition, which carried sup- plies for two weeks was authorized by Gov. Fausto Topete of Sonora, to hunt down and wipe out the band. Fimbres pon. was carried away by the hostile ‘Apache band in October, 926, when the family was set upon while ridibg to the Fimbres home on Bavispe river.

As was the case at the first concert, the management provided additional chairs which were placed in the ad- joining dining room. The concert was as successful musically as from the standpoint of attendance, There can be no question that the exceptionally high program standard provided at these concerts is doing much to attract a consider- able public attention. As at the first of the series, a star planist made two appearances. He was the talented Israel Rosenberg, whose technical mastery of the key- board is suplemented by interpreta- tive skill of high quality. Another local star attaining attention was George J. Westerman, violinist and scholarship winner, who returned to the city from New York espectally to play at the concert. The young virtuoso is in his second year at the Institute of Musical Arts. ' Another viollpist scholarship winner, Adolph Sundell, who is in his first year at the institute, also appeared. Mrs, Jane Sartoris Tuttle, she of the gold- en voice, was a substitute for Miss Ruth Edna Schade, who fell afoul of throat trouble. The accompanists were Charles A. Johnson for the violinists and Theron W. Hart for the vocalist. Rosenberg played the adagio from the Beethoven Moonlight, the Aren- sky Etude, and added sparkling istudy by Concone; on his second ap- pearance he played the Sibelius Romance, the Jeaux d-Eau by Ravel. oess at Second Sunday Musicale, The second in the series of Sun. | |losses in the Bavispe country.

The most awe-inspiring of the lot, of course, was the Ravel plece, which happens to be regarded as the most ‘lnnncendent of modern plano com- positions. Ita technical demands are tremendous, but the French master | has provided a landmark in the {realm of new art in this composition, | and it was Rosenberg's huge task to give it an adequate presentation. This he did with a brilliance that| elicited unbounded admiration. In| the Sibelius number he proved an experimenter. Instead of playing this| “modern classic” in the usual man-| ner he did as the symphony con-} i {ductors Jo, interpreted it according jto individual taste. We are not pre- pared to say whether this change was an advantage, but it at least en- | hanced the interest of music lovers. ; Rosenberg’s style includes a keen | conception of dynamics; he knows| when to emphasize the sharp stacca- to chord, recognizes as if by instinct | |the value of virility and a distinctive | style. Over all he commands the key- board with a delicacy of touch that | 1lifts virtuosity into the high altitudes {of art. Rosenberg has attained his | present status largely because of the | {musical tendency that is part of his | |makeup, Westerman and his violin readily reached the heart. He has much to show for his year in the metropolis. A tone of exquisite sweetness, com- {bined with a lucid technic, indicates | the coming master of his instrument. He played the Tartinl G minor sonata, making it glow vibrantly and | please mightlly. He added the in-| comparable Romance from the| Wieniawski D minor concerto, His| plano team mate as usual proved | an able and conscientious exponent of the accompanist's art. | Sundel, who has just broken into | the metropolis as a student, likewise | jreceived a cordial homecoming re- ception. He has strength of tone, confidence and a certain quality of determination that betokens a good |future in his chosen field. His offer- ings embraced pleces by Sarasate, Musin, and as an added attraction the famous Canebrake memento by by Gardner.

C., Jan necticut’s industrial prospects for 1929 are optimistic, declared Fran- cis 1. Jones, director of the United states employment service in his re- port to Secretary of Labor James J. Davis on industrial, agricultural and general employment conditions. Describing the outlook for the year as favorable, Jones says: he metal.working industry in Connecticut has operated at ca- pacity and in some sections on over- time sehedules, and present indica- tions point to a continuance during 1929. A greater demand for skilled labor s anticipated, largely due to the expansion of several industries.” With respect to building, Jones states that “sufficient bullding is an- ticipated to employ the resident sup- ply of building craftsmen.” Unskilled labor in Connecticut, n | the employment service director be- lieves, will be well employed, except for the slight surplus apparent dur- ing the winter months. “A general feeling of optimism prevails throughout the state,” he says in concluding his report, “and steady employment for resident workers is expected.” | Read Herald Classified Ads for re- sults and_pleasure. 1 FOUND RABALM WONDERFUL REMEDY Cole, & Arthur Beverty, Mass. :-l:unn-'fl yetion vl vt RSVl e ead 41,00, ol drvagiom. | of Condition of , Monday, December 31st, reveals substantial growth and { RCES LIABILITIES Bapitalistock: L A A S Suxxlus (earned) ....
