JOHNSON MAY SHIFT
 HIS uMPIRING STAFF

The signing of two new umpires by President Johnson of the American League is an indication that he in tends to shake up the personnel of his staff.
 The two new men signed are Red" OrrAsby and '.Ducky' Holmes. Both men umpired in the Western League last year and gave excellent satisfac- ton in that circuit.
 Ormsby is a product of the Chicago sandlots. He is a big, husky fellow, who gets his nickname because of the color of his locks. While he has only had a few years experience in the minors he is regarded as one of the bes tumpiring prospects in the coun- try.
 Holmes, of course, is not the origi- nal ''Ducky." as all players by the name of Holmes are known as Due ky. Holmes was both major and mi nor league player. When his play ing days were ended because of an injury he took to umpiring.
 Holmes has worked in a number of minor leagues, among them being the American Association. A year ago. he received a short trial in the National League and got along fine.s The Ma tional League, however, refused to pay the purchase price asked and he lost his big chance. '.. ... .-
 President Heydler of the; National League says. there will be at least two new men on his staff. A, number of urnpires were.tried out by him near the. close of the season. < ,- D. Good umpires appear to be much harder to land than any star ball playens. ..., :-

cARPENTIER UNDECIDED
 AS TO FUTURE PLANS

Georges Carpenter, stiff ;. suffering from bad hands, is unable as yet to resume training, but there is much talk in sporting circles of a match be- tween Georges and Joe Beckett of England as we'll as a great deal of speculation as to whether Carpenter will enter the competition opened by the Boxing Federation for the light heavyweight title made vacant by the disqualification of Battling Siki'', con- queror of Carpentier. Neither Carpen- tier nor his manager Francois Des- camps, however, are ready to say what their plans for the future are. It is thought that Georges is waiting to Lsee what sporting opinion is likely Co be- regarding the ex-champ&on entrance into the competition to re- gain his lost title, and also to get an idea as to the prospects of the tour nament's success.
 The sporting experts are agreed that no one worthy of meeting Carpenter flor the title Is in sight and that any match arranged with the available ma terial would be likely to prove ridicu- lous. At the same time they recognize the fact that Georges must box some one or retire.
 A curious effect of the announce ment of the competition is an apparent reaction in favor of Ski. Some of the sporting writers are beginning to ex- press the view that the Federation went rather fast and somewhat far in punishing the colored fighter for his unseemly behavior, these experts pointing out that if Ski lost his head he was helped to do so by the exces- sive attentions he received after his victory over Carpentier.

YALE SATISFIED WITH TAD JONES, SAY NEWS

New Haven, Nov. 27-Complete sat isfaction with the work of Tad Jones, Both as a football coach and as an inspiration for clean athletics, is ex- pressed in an editorial which. will ap- pear in the Yale News tomorrow. Yale is absolutely satisfied with what Tad Jones is giving to Yale football and to Yale" the News says, "and she is mast sanguine of the future"
 The editorial is directed chiefly against hostile criticism in the press and censures interference with Jones' regime. "The team the under grad uates, and the authorities connected with football are as one in wanting him to stay" the News says

RANCHO VILLA WINS DECISION
 OVERYOUNG MON REAL Al BOSTON

Boston, Nov. 27-Pancho Villa, Am erican flyweight champion, went out of his class here tonight and defeated Young Montreal, of Providence, win ming the decision in. ten rounds. Villa had an undoubted lead in eight rounds held. Montreal even in another, and was only slightly behind in the one round in which the Providence fight CT had any advantage.
 Villa weighed 11S pounds and Mon treal 116.
 Montreal, a head taller than the lit tie Filipino, found himself at loss to maintain any offensive or to es- tablish a defense against the cham pion's rat-tat-ta of punches: Villa showered blows to. head and body while Montreal was able only occa- sionally to land a scoring blow, and seldom if at all one that had not been robbed of it's strength. In feinting as in fighting Villa was the master, and had the Providence boy busy trying to follow his changes of pace. He led oftener than not, forcing Montreal from corner to corner and back again At the end Villa was smiling and fresh, while Montreal was plainly fla tigued and almost dazed.
