CLOSER TOGETHER
Tex Richard and Tom Jones
About to Come to Terms.
Jack Curley Has Nothing to Do
With Willard.

New York, Dec. 9.-Tex Richard,
the sorely tried gent who is doing his
best to stage a high class bout in New
York with Georges Carpenter as one
of the principals, said today that he
does not care a continental whoop

Jess Wizards participation in the
show

he said. willard told me that Jack
Curley does not represent him, so I
will do my business directly with
Jones. I may sign Willard and 1 may
not. Jones and I, however, are get
ting closer together"
Deal With Jones.
After relieving himself of this,
Richard admitted that he is being
torn between two impulses-one to
match Carpenter and Willard, the
other to match Darcy and Carpenter
The consent of Carpenter, of course,
has something to do with both i'm
pulses, but Richard is confident he
will get Carpenter to cross the ocean.
Dan McKetrick, accomplice of Har-
ry Pollok, in a separate attempt to
use Madison Square Garden for bouts,
today announced that it is he and no
one else who will have charge of Car
pentier in case the F'renchman leaves
to fight for his country with padded
gloves. He declares he has cable

JOE TINKER MUST GO.
New Manager of Chicago Cubs To Be
Chosen Next Week.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Fans were spec
ulating today whether Tinker would
be willing to stay with the Cubs after
his retirement as manager. Presi-
dent Weeghman has offered to take
care of Tinker when he is replaced as
pilot, probably at his old job at short
stop, or possibly as coach or scout.
Tinker will be taken care of by
the Chicago National league club in
some capacity Weeghman said. "At
no time did 1 want to part company
with Joe but some arguments have
been advanced in favor of infusing
new blood in the club and there is a
possibility that successor to Tinker

PREPAREDNESS SECRET OF
BILL CARRIGAN'S SUCCESS

Bill Carrigan, as manager of the
Boston Red Sox, certainly believed
in preparedness. Carrigan had the
best fortified team in the American
league, from the standpoint of
pinch players. Almost the sole
duty of Outfielder Henrickson was
to act as pinch hitter, while Mike
McNally was the pinch base-run-
ner of the aggregation. With a
runner on second, and a base hit
meant the ball game, McNally was
invariably sent in to take the place
of the runner on the second sack
In Carl Mays, Carrigan boosted of
the best pinch pitcher in the league.
With his peculiar underhand style
of delivery, he was most difficult
pitcher to hit, when suddenly in
jected into the fray.

next day when he ate a chicken din

race. He made only three stops dur

drank either hot lemonade or orange
juice.
1t is known that the Greeks grew

great extent, and following Hatch's as
sertion that they are better endurance
builders and quick strengt eners than
anything else it is believed that they
played a greater part in Greek PROV

result they undoubtedly will be given
thoro trials by the leading trainers of
the United States in the immediate
future.

Darcy sewed up to a contract that

A willard Carpenter bout will draw
big because it will have an interna-
tional pulling power, because of the
French relief fund gag being fostered
by Anne Morgan and others of the
elite, and because there is a certain
element among the fight devotees
that would go to see champion lick
a one-armed man. But those who
concede Carpenter an outside chance
of even winning decision over Jess
are mighty scarce. On the other hand,
practically every pugilistic prognosti-
Gator is compelled to admit that Darcy

the scrapplest scraps in the annals of
the ring. But unfortunately, fights

WELFARE WORK Is
GIVEN PRAISES
DR.. Dixon Says That 1t Is the
Best Kind of an Investment
For Employers

| First aid and welfare work. whereby
modern medical and sanitary work are
carried on for industrial workers, are
excellent investments for the employ
ers and owners of such establishments
and pay good dividends in the good
health and physical trim in which they
maintain the men and women who
turn out the products, declares State
| Commissioner of Health Samuel G..
Dixon in a talk on Health and Big
| Business
The progress made in this line of
| work has been carried to q point
which would have been considered as
| founding a generation ago and ''em-
ployes have never been taken better
care of than at the present time" he
says.
In his talk the commissioner de-
clares:
Efficiency is generally considered
the god of big business. Certain it is
that great corporations have carried
organization to II point which has ma
\ terially increased the effectiveness of
their employees, therefore it is not sur
prising to find that in all great COM
mercial and industrial plants there are
we'll organized medical departments.
! The employers who have upon their
rolls tens of thousands of men and
women find that it pays them to pro-
| VIDE for the adequate medical care of
their working men and women. This
| has been carried to a degree which
would have been considered astound-
! ing generation ago. Practically every
department store has it's medical and
nursing staff. Some even have dem
lists and chiropodists whose services
are at the disposal of their employees.
Instead of considering the appli-
cants without regard for their physical
| condition, examinations are now re-
quired in order that sufferers from
tuberculosis and other diseases will
not be added to the force of employees
and menace the healthy workers and
the establishments customers.
Great industrial plants not only
| offer medical and surgical treatment
to their employees. but the majority of
them conduct welfare work, carrying
| modern medical and sanitary practice
into the homes of their employees, to
the great benefit and protection of the
workers and their families.
1T has been demonstrated beyond
! the question of doubt that this is an
| excellent investment from the employ
| er's standpoint. No man can render
the maximum of service who is phys
tcally unfit. Big business has proved
health primary necessity in industry
and 1t is willing to pay for 1t.
The employees have never been
taken better care of than at the pres
ent time. This has come about
through the educational work of
health authorities with the assistance
of the public press"
