WM. ROCKEFELLER WAS
RICHER THAN JOHN D,

VIM. Rockefeller, the sphinx" Of
American finance and one Of the
worlds richest men, died at his home
in Pocantico Hills, N. Y Saturday
Rockefeller was 81 years of age
and was the younger brother of John
d. Rockefeller. The financial genius
died of pneumonia, which developed
from cold he contracted while going
from his office to- his home last Sat
urday.
Although the public only knew
Rockefeller as "John DIS brother,
he was tremendous power in fl
nance.
Rockefeller, even to a greater de-
gree than other members of his fam
lily, always lodged publicity, always
refused to be interviewed and never
issued statements. The financier
mingled and spoke with only the
small group of men who control the
bulk Of the nations wealth.
Rockefeller, whose fortune is esti-
mated at from $100,000,0O0 to $780,
100000, was born in poverty at Rich
ford, N, Y. Early in his boyhood he
migrated to the Middle West
He was a miller's bookkeeper at the
age of III and studied nights to equip
himself for his later business life.
The city directory of Cleveland Of
the year 1854, with this line, evil
liam Rockefeller and & Co., Oil Mer-
chants tells Of one of his first bust
ness ventures. John D, was associat-
ed with him.
The Rockefellers in 1870 formed
the Standard Oil Company of Cleve-
land with a capitalization of $1,000
900. This was the foundation of one
of the worlds wealthiest corporations.
Rockefeller branched out from the
oil business and added untold millions
to his fortune by becoming identified
with various railroads and many pub
lie service corporations. He was a
director in nearly 40 Of the cOuntry's
biggest business enterprises at the
time Of his death.
He died just as new mausoleum
in Sleepy Hollow cemetery, under his
own direction, at cost of $25O,0OO,
was completed.
VIM. Rocgefeller, more silent and
taciturn than his brother, John D.,
was little in the limelight Of pub
licity until the sensational hunt Of
the subpoena servers of the Pup
Money Trust investigation committee
in December, 1912, brought him prom
inently before the public. 1t was
learned then that the aged million
aire had garnered a fortune through
years of labor and was far in excess
of that Of his brother, whose name
has become Synonymous with wealth

 Those brief remarks were the key note cf Featherweight Champion Johnny Kflbane's address at the recent celebration of the tenth anniversary of his winning the title from Abe At tell at Vernon. Cal, Febrslary 22. 1S12.
 Continuing, Johnny said:
 ssWhen I became a boxer, it was my ambition ssuo become a worlds champion. Next, 1t was to hold the championship longer than any other worlds titleholder. They say John L. Sullivan held his title for ten years and seven nronths. I want to beat his record and if I do I want to promise not 10 do anything to bring discredit to Cleveland"

About the same time Joseph 1T. TwicheH of Plantsville and Charles T. Stanton of Stonington. were famous oars in Yale. Whether they them selves rowed in the Varuna crew, is qualified for the varsity and pulled the blue Cor lavender) to glorious vic tory.
 Great Racing Era.
 Between June and June 27. 1859, there were races galore in which crews from Yale contested. Some were on New Haven harbor, but the major encounters were on Lake Quin- sigamond. June 26 thrill came when Yale lined up alongside of liar yard. It was a lineup not seen for many a long decade, measuring back from the year of grace, 1921, for the varsity had as competitors Harvard varsity, a Harvard deriVative known as the Avon and a crew from Brown University. The course was a mile and one-half to a stake boat to be was compelled to pull outside of Av- on and she came in second. Harvard was first.
 Yale Beats Harvard.
 The next day there was a dual race. In this Yale won. The time was 1S rnin., 14 see This was two seconds better than the best Harvard time over the course. There was wild rejoicing among the legionaries Of Yale. Major Owen is primed with tales of the day. He has written an natal days and the genesis of row. ing in Yale and includes reference to the work Of MT. Page. commodore in 1858 end 1s5a.

his respect for Owner Jim Dunn of the Indians caused him to accept Dunr's terms for another season. One reason for his hesitancy was his bus mess in St. Louis, which he now must employ a man to run.
 Another was that he had just fur n1shed new home for Mrs. Sothoron and himself. Another was that he had just brought his father and mother to St. Louis and furnished a home for them.
 Dunn and Sothoron batjtled for a whole day at St. Louis before Soth- oron finally agreed to sign and then 1t was only because Dunn cancelled transportation on a train for Chicago and called up SoThoron and said:
 TAI, I'll stay in St Louis until you sign up. I can't go back to Cleveland without your signature. The Indians need you"
 This got under Al1an's skin He re- menbered that Dunn had taken him up last year when other clubs had pronounced him through.
 SOthoron explained his signing to a friends as follows:
 .'I wouldnt have signed a contract for any other owner in the world than Jim Dunn. He's the fairest and most liberal man I know of There was never any question about terms but Dunn was good enough to add On suff1- cient extra money to make up for any loss my business might sustain through my absence"

Old rowing days at good old Yale were recently recalled by Major Chas' H. Owen, oarsnnan emeritus and non cred dean of Yale shelldom. Accord ing to Major Owens recollect1ons one of the best oarsInen at Yale in ISoo and 1859 was Horace Lewis Fairchlld mic of Black Rock GBridgaporD, who was a member of one of the numerous Varuna crews
 The major claims that Yale row ing was vastly different in 1859 than if is at the present day. In that vaar Major Owen was coxswain of his crew which consisted of six men, not eight. He is S3, nearly, and hale. and bubbles over with enthusiasm when reminiscing on the old rowing days.

Another "Boner."

Another. "Boner."
 The Eastern League has come i for another rap for letting it's sta players go. In reference to the los of Neal Ball to the Augusta, Ga.. cluf the New Haven Courier Journs says:
 The passing of Neal Ball from the Eastern League will be regret ted on all sides. His departure is but another example of the lax methods now being employed by club owners in Dan O'NeiFs cir cult. State papers have made an effort to bring to the attention of tho league the fact that some of tlseir deals have been far from class A transactions, but appar- entity these welI-meant words have been wasted when directed at the moguIs. Frankly, the Eastern league pulled another boner' by letting Ball get out of the league. This seems to be an everyday happening around the circuit now and nothing along these lines causes surprise any more.
 There is no doubt but what the club owners have adopted a policy of economy, but before the com ing season is over they will have learned that their efforts to cut down expenses have been directed the wrong channels. It is evident considering the men they have allowed to slip out of the league without as much as a fare-thee- well, that much money will be saved this year in the signing of managers.

Chicago, March 1 - Wee Dicky Kerr. for several years noted as White SoX midget hurler and pro- noted from 'deuce'' to ace" only after he stopped the Cincinnati Reds in two games of the memorable world series in 1919 after Eddie Ci- cote and Lefty Williams, then the faces" fell down on the job, bids fair to lose one of his distinctions smallest man in the club. Accord ing 10 statistics on the 33 members of the SoX now doing spring training in Texas.

TRIPLE PLAY THAT MADE BALL FAMOUS

When Neal Ball starts to hobnol with Augusta fans it's unnecessary t presume that he will be called upol to tell how he executed the triple pla- which made him famous in balldOn when he was a member of the Cleve land club, back in 1909. Here's description of the play:
 The feat that made Ball famous was his unassisted triple play pull on July 19. 1909. Ball was puaying second for Cleveland and his stunt happened in the second inning of the first game of a double-header at Cleveland. Heinie Wagner was on second base for Boston, and Jake Stah1 on first, the former having got ten on on an error and the lat ter having bunted safely. The count was three and two on Am bnose Mcconnell, with the hit nell hit a sharp lime drive over the second sack. which looked like sure base knock.
 But Neal hustled over and caught the ball, retiring McCon- nell. He then stepped on the bag, doubling up Wagner. who was headed for third, and step- ping off the bag touched Stahl with the ball as the latter ran up to him. This play of Balls was the first triple killing the major wsen Paul Tines, an outfielder for Providence, pulled one, also against Boston. None has occur red in the big circuit since, save that pulled by Bill Wambsgans of Cleveland against Brooklyn in the

Ring Fan Hurls
 Hot Shot

There's truth and poetry combine m the following commun1catlon fe ,eived by The gTimes' Sporting Edllo .oday. It follows:
 'fSporting Editor,
 ssBridgeport Times:
 'aThe suggestion of MT. Root- Donahue in yesterdays Times that fighters should be made to fight, winner take all or on q 75-25 percentage for winner and loser, respectively, is the most sensible suggestion I have seen in print for sone time. It WouIu mean that So-called lighters would have to fight, quit tnSlr staIling and give the boxing pnD- lie a square deal. I hope our Boxing Commission will take the matter up.
 sI also have a suggestion which I think would be bene- ficial to the sport. Gut the guar antees to fighters one half or more and also reduce the admis- sion prices accordingly. I think the boxing authorities would have the legal right to regulate the admission rates. The State of New Jersey has just taken such action after the highway robbery prices charged to see the Dempsey and Carpenter fight.
 ssFight shows are not worth any more than theatrical shows you can see for half dollar. The majority of shese alleged fight shows are not worth 80 cents. I and a great many oth- CTS put the recent Delaney and Bogash $5 event in the 20 cents special class..'
 ssThere's an excellent chance for our intelligent boxing com missionerS to take a step toward boxing reform here.
