HERMAN MAY RETIRE
FROM RING BECAUSE
Of LATEST DEFEAT
Former Champion Discouraged
Following Loss of Bout to
Midget Smith.

New York, Jan. 16.-So discouraged
was Pete Herman over his defeat at
the hands of Midget Smith in Madison
Square garden recently that he told
a personal friend after the contest
that he was through with the boxing
game and would announce his retire
ment from the ring shortly after the
first Of the year. Herman l,st the
three fights that he has fought IN
Madison Square garden, and for that
reason he has decided to quit the ring
and go into business at bis home in
New Orleans Herman should retire,
as his eyesight is badly affcc5ed.
It looks like a sure thing now that
Champion Johnny Buff, holder of the
bantamweight title, and Midget Smith
the local bantamweight, will clash in a
Is round bout for the bantamweght
championship honors at Madison Square
garden early in February.
U. S. Has Six Champions
Americas six worlds champions now
are Johnny Buff, bantamweight; .John-
ny Kilbane, featherweight; Benny
Leonard, lightweight; Jack Briton,
welterweight; Johnny Wilson, middle
weight, and Jack Dempsey, heavy
weight.
The only two worlds champions who
are not Americans are Jimmy Wilde,
the little Welshman, who holds the
flyweight title. and Georges Carpen-
tier, the Frenchman, still worlds light
heavyweight champion through his
victory over Battling Levinsky.
Another American probably would
be added to the list of worlds it'll
holders if a Wilde VS.. Johnny Buff
match could be arranged. Discerning
judges say the Wilde of the present
would fall prey to the slashing little
Jerseyman, who holds both An ericar
flyweight and worlds bantamweight
title. Pete Herman knocked out Wilde
and Buff, in turn, outpointed Herman.
Tunney Good Match
1t would not be at all surprising to
see an American hurl Carpenter from
the light heavyweight throne during
the ensuing u months Gene Tunney
appears good match for the Fr"a III :
man. and Tom Gibbons is considered
highly enough by Promoter Tex Rick
ard to already be matched with Car
pentier for the worlds 175-pound title
Should Gibbons or Tunney whip
Carpenter in light heavyweight
championship tilt Jimmy Wilde would
be the only non-American worlds ring
champion on the lists.

UTAH HIGH JUMPER
PROVES SENSATION
As DISCUS THR0WER
Alma Richards at University
of Southern California Hurls
Missile $50 Feet.

New York, JAN 16.-The latest sem
sation among discus throwers in Alma
Richards. the former Brigham Young
and Cornell university high jumper
and all-areund star, and according to
advices from California, where the
Utah giant is attending the University
of Southern California law school,. he
is preparing to win the discus throw
in the next Olympic games.
In 1912, at the Olympic games in
Stockholm, Richards surprised the
athletic world by defeating the world s
best high jumpers and establishing a
new Olympic record. While at Cor
nell he was a consistent winner in the
high jump and also scored points for
Jack McAk1ey's team in the shot put
and broad jump. Richards has given
up the high jump. but is going great
guns with the discus.
He made study of discuss throw
the Pacific coast chamionship, defeat
ing among others Clarence House:, the
schoolboy phenom who captured the
national junior discus championship
and the national senior shot-put cham
pionship at Pasadena last July. Rich
ards throw on that occasion was 10
feet.
During practice recently lie heaved
the Greek missile the remarkable dis
tance Of 100 feet. That throw would
have won the Olympic Championship
for America in any one of .he past
Olympic meets. He only weighs 100
pounds at present but exnecrs to pick
up 20 more pounds between nuH and
the spring and believes the added
weight will improve his throwing.

New York, Jan. 16.-For the first
time in several years Bill Brennan OF
New Orleans will not umpire the spring
training jaunt of the Giants. In place
Of Brennan, Bill Klein, an esteemed
citizen of Yonkers. N. T., will arbitrate
the games between the Giants and Chi
cago White Sex next spring. Klein
started to umpire the Yankee Brook
lyn Dodger series last spring, but met
with painful accident in Birmingham,
which incapacitated him for the first
month of the National league season.
Under an agreement adopted last
winter, only National or American
league umpires are to take part in
these training series. Brennan, there
fore, was disqualified when he was let
out by John Heydler, president Of the
National league. Brennan has returned
to his former post as chief of umpires
in the Southern association.
Heydler expressed his sincere regret
that conditions made it necessary to
let out Brennan after he was back IN
the league one year.
Called "Giant Umpire
Brennan originally was hired by me
last year, after the unexpected death
of Harrison and after KLEIN met with
an injury" said the National league
head. prior to that l made an un-
successful endeavor to get Sawtelle' s
release from the Texas league. l had
to get the best umpire available and
called on Brennan.
Brennan is a splendid umpire. abso-
lutely fair and square, but he ceased to
be Of any value to me because l could
not use him in rotation.
From all over the circuit I con-
stantly received requests not to have
Brennan umpire games in which the
Giants were participants. Whenever
Brennan umpired in any series in
which the New York team was engaged
he took especial pains to be fair, but
unfortunately he could not live down
a reputation that he was New York
baseball when there is no basis for
them but it retarded Brennan's utility
to the league. and Bill decided to re-
turn to the Southern association.
Praises Ed Walsh
Heydler expects Ed Walsh to sue
ceed MS an umpire in the American
league and says the entire baseball
world will be pulling for the former
spitball king to make success Of his
new venture. Walsh ended his big
ledRue career WIFI Tie DGStbu DEdfeS
walsh has everything in his favor
| said Heydler. '.He has the public and
ball players with him. and you've got
to have experience as an umpire &c
know what that means.
The average young umpire coming
in must overcome lot of hostility
in order to succeed. Ball players are
ready to impose on him, and the stands
usually are unfriendly and ready to
criticize and find fault
players and fans already know
Walsh. At one time he and Mathew
son stood in front among the pitchWs
Of the game. He can command respect
and prestige because of what he has
done. If Walsh can keep his head
when he gets into difficulties, he should
make good in this new field

New York Jan 16-Harvard and
Penn will have competition in the flu
ture from other sources than Syracuse

the completion of the new Yale track
this spring, Yale will put in bid for
this classic, with good chance to have
it every third year.

This means that the track will have a

Since the meetings were discontinued

of convenience for the teams and the
crowds defeated these applications.
Others Tried in Vain.
Syracuse a few years ago on the
of its new stadium, made
bid for the games, and did 1t Tor sev-
eral years after. but never could get
the required votes. Cornell also came
in with request that they be allowed
to stage the meet they have dominated
so often, but the Ithacans lost out.
Now that Yale is properly equipped
to handle this meet it seems loglcal
that they will be given an equal chance

Brennan's Reputation
as "Giants Umpire"
Costs Him Major lob
Bill KLEIN Will Officiate at Spring Training Jaunt
Games Between New York Nationals
and Chicago White Sox.

According to reports drifting here
from the Pacific coast, Hank ODay,
who has umpired National league games
for more than score of years, and
who is the dean of the senior organ
ization's staff of officials, is about to
ask President Heydler for his lelease.
O'Day, the western reports say, is not
going to retire from baseball, but IS
eager to spend a few summers UNI
piring games in the Pacific Coast
league.
President Heydler would not deny
the rumors concerning the veteran OF
his umpire staff and it is believed that
Hank O'Day may be missing from Ma
tional league diamonds next season.
II do not wish to discuss the per-
sonnel of the National league staff Of
umpires for next season. said Heyd-
ler, until the February meeting OF

O'Day wants to retire from the league
in order to work on the coast next
summer. ! hope he does not want to
leave the big show now, as ne Is one
Of the best officials in the business
and is good for three or four more
years of big league service.
Has Great Record
"ODay has great record as Ma
tional league player and umpire, and
would not like to see him leave the
league. His long years of service
proves him to be. honest and fearless,
and it would be difficult to replace
him on the staff
O'Day started his major league ca
reer as a pitcher, and at one time.
was member of the Giants staff of
hurlers. That was back in the days OF
Mickey Welsh, Tim keefe and other
celebrities whom most Of the present
day fans did not see in action. When
his career as pitcher ended he be-
acted in that capacity. Not many
wears ago Garry Hermann. owner of
the Reds, gave Hank a chance to try
his hand at managing club. ODay
seized the opportunity and became pi-
lot of the Reds That was when the
Reds were consistent tail enders and
Hermann was trying desperately to
quiet the fans of Redland, who were
clamoring for winner.
Had Midseas6n Slump
During his first two or three months
as a manager ODav was complete
success. Under his leadership the
Reds won regularly and were high in
the race. In midseason, however, the
team went 10 pieces and the Cincinnati
fans criticized ODay unjustly for the
slump.
At the end Of the season the Reds
were in the second division and Char
ley Herzog supplanted ODay as man
ager. Hank returned to the National
leagues staff of umpires a much wiser
man and he has not been guilty of
managing club since.
If O'Day quits the National league
his place will be filled by one of the
three umpires that President Heyd-
Ter has been negotiating with. The
men are Cy Pfirman Paul Santelle
and Howard Holmes. None of them
has yet been signed to umpire in the
National league next year.

DECLINES
BIG LEAGUE JOBS;
HAS QUIT FOR GOOD
Former Philadelphia National
Infielder Now Managing Own
Big Estate in Illinois.

New York, Jan. 16-Arthur Fletch-
er's return to the diamond as a mem
ber of the Brooklyns infield would be
welcomed by the fans across the
bridge However, it is not probable
that Brooklyn fandom will greet the
shortstop next spring, as since he re-
tired last spring he has shown not the
slightest inclination to come back as a
player. If Fletcher were asked to re-
turn to the big show as manager he
would not show any reluctance in con-
sidering a proposition. but the chances
of his agreeing to sign another play
er's contract are small.
In order to lure the former Giant
shortstop from Collinsville. ILL.,, next
spring the Brooklyns or any other ma
jor league club desiring his services
would have to send him highly at
tractive offer.
Has a Geod dob ...'
Fletcher does not have to play ball
for his livelihood now. He is in charge
of a big estate in Collnsville, which
was left to him by his father, and the
management Of it occupies his entire
time. His retirement from the game
almost year ago was unlike that Of
other players in that it was genuine.
He did not turn his back on his pro
fession in order to hold up President
Baker of the Phillies for Q bigger sal
airy. Fletcher. as everybody who is
acquainted with him knows, is not
made of that kind of stuff
1t was during the Phillies' training
period in Gainesville. Fla, last spring
that Fletcher was called from the camp
to his home, because Of the death of
his father.
Refuses Offer by Giants
Soon after he arrived in Collinsville
he informed Baker that he had decided
10 retire from the game in order to
take care of property left by his
father. Not many weeks elapsed after
the death of his father when Fletcher
lost his brother and the second death
in the family made it all the more
necessary for him to remain in Collins
vile. In st. Louis, few weeks ago.
Fletcher received an offer to return
to the Giants but refused it.
