i ¢ BSS PROMOTES OWN BOUT| Tack Curley Merely Figurehead and Willard Is Patting Up His Own Guarantee. FIGURES ON A Ry RINGSIDE. | NEW YORK, Jan. %.—Jess Willard has signed tentativh articles to fight Frank Moran in this burg “sometime in April The bout is scheduled for ten rounds and the promoter is announced as Jack Curley, who arranged the match with Johnson that eventuated in Willara re trieving the heavywelght champlonship 10 the Caucasian race Further, Willard s to recelve $32600, with & guarantee of & per cent of the gross receipts. The contract Is valid only on condition that Moran signs before February 1. The battle site has not been fetermined as yet These are all the details that have been furnished to a palpitating public. 1f the real facts must be known, they are that Jess Willard (not Jack Curley) is the promoter, and that the most commodious "HUGE GATE | privately-owned amphitheater will bo the battleground. Also. the date of the mill probably will be extended until the latter part of May—Vecorotion day, most likely. 1t does not require an elastic imagina- tion to » why Jess Willard should be the actual promoter of such a battle, He has the money to float the proposition The sum mentioned=$12, 60— would be the highest Jess could expect from an out sider for a ten-round bout here. At that, it would establish a high-water mark for A purse for oné man to become embroiled with another for only ten rounds, But even this sum would not entic Wiliard back Inte the ring with the most formiable contender for his title—Frank Moran.

MENKE, NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—Frank Hinkey was “fired” out of his job s Yale foot ball conch, whereupon he “squared” ac counts with an action that netted the Yale and Harvard Athletic associstions $2,000 and probably more. Most men disgraced as Hinkey was dis graced by Yale's boy captain would have quit the Yale foot ball field forever. But not JHinkey. He was made of better, purer stuff. Yale decided that it didn't need him any longer—but Hinkey lingered because of the almost barren hope that he might atill be of help to Yale. And he was. When Tom Sheviin came from out the weat to take charge of Yale's foot ball Affuirs, Hinkey wns shoved into the background. And there he remained un- til that cruclal moment in the Yale Princeton game when he came to the fore, saved the game for Yale, gave Shev- 1n the chance to be showered with plaud its—and made $0,000 for Yale and Har vard, Hinkey's Watehtolness.

RING PROMOTER GAME GUY Tex Rickard Makes Name for Him- self by Taking Big Chances and HAS THE NERVE OF GAMBLER Some' of the gamest men that ever walked in shoe leather belong to the class of sports’ who promote boxing. Dan A.

The Germans wil. pull Saturday night and the Danes on Sunday night. Both pulls will be to the limit, not twenty- minute affairs as were staged In'the re- cent tournament. Prince writes that the Scots will arrive in Omaha the latter part of the week and will bring their corps of bagpibes with them. ' Omaha Scots are planning to give them a royal greeting upon. their arrival. The German team will probably be without the services' of Charley Peters n the match, as' Peters found the stren- uous pulling detrimental to his wrestling, and wrestling comes first with Peters.

Tex was roasted on all #ldes, but ‘he went through with the job and . that his judgment was right was proved by the fact that the contest drew over: $89,000. - Rickard quit a big winner and gained the reputation of being the wreatest . promoter in the history of the American prize ring.

MANAGERS MADE IN CHICAGO Sixteen Former Members of Sox and Cubs Get Jobs as Pilots with Teams Above Class A. PUBLICITY TURNS THE TRICK Go to Chicago and play with the Cubs aging Job in base ball. Sixteen members of the Sox and Cubs in the days when they had wonderful ball clubs have obtained bossing jobs in leagues of class A or better. These men all participated from 1906 to 1910, when the Cubs and Sox always were there or thereabouts. Gaze on this list of notables: Joe Tinker—incinnatl, Whales and Cubs. Frank Chance—Cubs, Yankees and Los Angeles, Flelder Jones—White Sox, Sloufeds and Browns. Johnny Evers—Cubs. Pat Moran—Phillles, James Sheckard—Toledo American As- sociation, Cleveland. James Callahan—White Sox and Pirates. Del Howard—#an Francisco. Matty Mcintyre, Lincoln. Miner Brown—Sloufeds. Doc White—Venice and possibly Denver. Jack Hayden—Loulsville. , % Duckey Holmes—Mobile, Topeka and Lincoln. Billy Sullivan~White Sox, now assistant to Hugh Jennings at Detroit. Frank Isbell-Wichita and Des Moines. Johnny Kling—Boston Braves. Think of those men developed and grad- uated from one city! Chicago just about takes the palm in production of man- agers, ’ Omne Essential, As a matter of fact, a man almost is compelied to have had a situation with winmer to get anywhere in the bossing end of base ball. All but four of the six- teen present major mentors participated with pennant winners in the big time, and most of them had to do with world champions. Clarence Rowland of the White Sox, Miller Huggins of the Car- dinals, George Stallings of the Braves and Lee Fohl of Cleveland are the not- able exceptions. John McGraw of the Glants was with the old Baltimore Orioles when they were the wonders of base ball, and afterward went to Brooklyn. The same is true of Hughle Jennings of Detroit. Bill Carrigan had experjence with the Boston Red Sox before assuming the management. Bill Donovan, boss of the Yankees, was chief assistant to Jennings when the Tigers grabbed three in a row. Buck Herzog, who has the difficult job of trying to make a winner of Cincinnatl, got his training from McGraw at New York. Wilbert Robinson was with the ©Orjoles and the Giants, while Connie Mack labored as a private in Pittsburgh when the anclent Pirates were humding- ers. Moran & Chi Alumn Pat Moran was graduated from the Cubs to the Phillies, while Joe Tinker played short for the Cubs in the days of one of the -greatest infields that ever operated on anybody's diamond. Jones, Griffith and Callahan all come from Chi- cago.

Van was one of the few umpires of recent day in the Western league who had the {nerve to tell belligerent athletes where to get off at. Van Syckle was no wizard at making decisions. He probably made as many mistakes as any of them, but Van did hurry up a ball game. There was no loafing by the players when he was on the job and that tickles the fans more than making perfect decisions. To, bounce four or five athletes out of the park was a mere afternoon’s pastime for Van Syckle, and many was the time he turned a punk ball game finto an enjoyable afternoon.
