This Guy Doesn't Care q Thing About
 His Thousand Bucks
By FAIRPL.AY

New York, April 11-As showing how things will change. it is interesting to note that at an uptown hotel today a sporting man whose judgment is reputea to be good. put up a thousand dollars on Carpentier at even money, though. Does this mean that Dempsey will not go into the ring a favorite over the Frenchman? Looks that way. The more Ians think about it the harder it is for them to get over the poor showing. Dempsey made against Bill Brennan
 A GREAT JOCKEY
 Is Buddy Ensor, who has been sitting or race horses at Bowie, as though he were Pegasus, soaring to the heights of glory, as great today as Tod Sloan, Danny Maher, Snapper Garrison and few other great riders? Maybe not Old timers will stoutly deny Ensors claim to sit with the immortals, but none of the present day turf clan will question the statement that he ranks win the top ranks Of Jockeys of today. Perhaps he is little beyond all of them.
 Ensor sits upon a horse delicately ball. anced as feather, and as light. When the writer saw him riding at the Em- pire City in New York last fall he won- dered how he ever kept, in the saddle. He has the delicate hands of master violinist, or watch-maker, or surgeon. Some say he is not strong enough to pull heart-tearing Chief Garrison fin ish. but Tod Sloan once said to me that If you give jock a fine pair of hands and Knowledge how to sit right, you can leave the strength to Sweeney. And, anyway. if Ensor keeps on outwitting other jockeys he won't have to make a rouSing finish.

Memphis, Tenn, April 11.-(Special.)- Four familiar faces and four strange faces are among the eight members of the Southern league umpire staff this season. John D. Martin, president of the league has selected his staff of um- pires after considerable deliberation and the opinion is that Southern league games this season will be handled by a most efficient corps of arbiters.
 President Martin was placed under a disadvantage at the eleventh hour when he released Bill Brennan, one of the most capable umpires in the league. to rejon the National league. q hated to lcse Brennan. He was good man. said Martin. But would not stand in the way of any man and advance nsnt in his profession"
 The members of last seasons staff who have been retained are Dan Pfen- ninger, Hadley Williams and Cy Pfir- nian, acknowledged three of the most efficient men in the league last season. The other familiar face on the staff is Jack O'Toole. who umpired in the Southern league two seasons, including 1917. Since then O'Toole has been um- piring in the east. He was a good snt- pire when formerly in the leagus. and his return :s welcomed.
 The rew members are Tex" Erwin of St.ttgart, Ark; Edward JI.son of Providence. R. l.; W. c. McNamara of Birmingham, and George Handy of Dur ham, N. c. The members of last sea- sons staff. who will not DC back are Brennan, Roth, Johnson, Kerin and G.i- ford.
 PFENNINGER
 Oar I'fernnger is the dean of tke staff. With put one or two e.xsaptions Pfenninger has been in the league longer than any man now associated with the affairs of the league. Dan became an umpire in the Southern league in 1904. Tl.us iie starts his eighteenth season, which probably es' ablishes a .nng dis tance record for umpiring in one league.
 FIREMAN
 Pfirman has been umpiring for F years and is starting his second season in the Southern. He has the distinction of never having been released from any league he worked in. He started in ( Central league. Central association, ohio State. New York State, International and the Texas league in 1919 before com ing to the Southern
 WILLIAMS
 Hadley Williams has seen considerable service as an umpire. This is his third straight season in the Southern, all though he previously worked two years in the Kitty league and has umpired in the South Atlantic, Cotton States, Vir- ginia, New York State and Central league. In 1913 and 1913 he was in the army.
 O'TOOLE
 Jack O'Toole is veteran at the um- piring profession. He. umpired several years before coming to the Southern league in 1916. After leaving the South ern at the end of the 1917 season he
