PROMOTER BILLY HACK RETIRES
FROM BOXING CAME IN MEMPHIS

CHICAGO, i'll, Oct 16-Billy
Hack, veteran referee and pro-
- moter Of boxing shows. has quit
He is out Of boxing, and makes no
bones about hoping that he never
viii get back into the game.
For several years Hack has run
boxing shows in Memphis. and he de-
clares that but for the sustaining
properties Of a prosperous printing
business that he operated he would
have starved to death so long ago
that only the oldtimers would remem-
Der him Bill also was a referee, and
because Of a naturally pugnacious
disposition and a sharp sense OF right
and wrong he got along pretty well
as a boxing official
What finally pried Hack out Of
the game, he asserts, was the sense
less kicks and constant chickering's Of
boxers managers. who seem 10 think
rubbing IL into the promoters to be
the surest indication Of their own
managerial abilities.
Hack has had some very in
terestinE experiences ms a no
mOter, and has some very positive
agers. He frankly states that
there Is not n manager In the bus
mess who is willing to yield an
inch without expecting the pro-
moter to retreat four miles.
Down in Memphis they give deci-
sions in eight-rOund bouts. and Hack
declares this proved the sticking
point in many matches. Few fighters
IKE to take q chance on a decision
and none Of them want to make
weight Hack declares every one Of
them will insist on certain pOundage
and then turn up overwe- Rht or re-
fuse to have any dealings with the
scales whatsoever.
To illustrate the way most boxers
feel about the question of weight.
Hack cites a battle in which Charley
White was matched with Joe Mandot.
White was a half pound overweight
and MandOt demanded the forfeit.
White refused TO fight at all if he
had TO pay the forfeit. and Hack
had TO dig down in his jeans and
settle with Mandot.

KIDDIES HAVE
JOYOUS XMAS

The Christmas celebrations Of the
Bible school of Central Union lacked
no whit of their customary cheer and
joyousness. Simpler they were, but
fortunately children do not measure
their enjoyment by the eostliness of
their entertainment, and the genuine
Christmas spirit was IN evidence
everywhere.
On Thursday afternoon the men,
bers of the Sunbeam class 1.-THE kin
dergarten Department. entertained
those onathe cradle roll of the school
at O'Clock in the parish house.
Christmas songs, games, a beautiful
little tree and little toys for the babies
in the shape of ducks and fish made
the first part Of the program most de-
lightful. ri ..
Then came the Sunbeams' own spe-
cial Christmas surprise.
Leaving their own classroom which
had been decorated with Christmas
greens for the occasion, they were
piloted to the Bible school rooms OF
the older pupils whereon every class
table was set an individual little
Christmas tree gaily decked. Each
child received a little basketful Of
island molasses candy and island pea
nuts and a dainty little japanese fig
ure which served as place card. Ice
cream cones were distributed.
In this room d big Christmas tree
which lowered VIZ toward the cell
ing was twinkling with miniature cleo
trio lights. tin-el and toys, while all
around the room bright poinsettias
and Christmas berries bloomed in pro-
fusion. Thu rear room, which had
been especially decorated for the at
home evenings for the soldiers, was
particularly charming in its homelike-
ness. Comfortable wicker chairs stood
about invitingly, stockings dangled
from an improvised fireplace, tables
with books, magazines, and baskets
of fruit looked very honey, and the
soft light of candles gave the final
Christmas touch.
