MORIARTY's CHANCES

How about George. Moriarty's
chances to deliver as manager of the
Detroit Tigers?
That question has been fired al me
scores of times since the formeOAmer-
lean League umpire was named to sue
ceed Ty Cobb
Moriarty has three great assets that
should stand him in good stead as a
big league pilot ambition, determina-
tion and courage.
For 10 years, or ever since he be-
came a neinber Of the staff Of Amer-
fcan League umpires, Moriar4y has
cherished the hope that some day he
would be given a managerial opportun-
5ity. Tt finally came.
Now that it has arrived, am sure
that he wills make the most of it. Mo
riarty knows baseball and he has been
placed in charge. Of what I would rate
a mighty good club.

Dempsey wants the referee to be physically able to handle a heavyweight fight, to have the strength and size to break him. self and Tunney from clinches. Frank Wiener. chairman of the Pennsylvania state athletic commis- sion, has assured Dempsey that the utmost care will be exercised in the selection of the third man in the ring and the judges. Dempsey sub mltted the names of six licensed referees, any one of whom will be acceptable to him. So far as could be learned. Wiener did not declare himself beyond the fact that Demp- sey. as well as the challenger, would be accorded a square deal. The se- lections will be made in advance of the contest but their names will be held in strict secrecy until just be- fore the contestants part the ropes.
 The list of officials submitted by Dempsey is reported to include Frank McCracken, a sports writer from Philadelphia; Pop O'Brien, Ar thur Nolan, Tommy Reilly and two others. The other two names could not be learned, but 1t was reported they are licensed referees from Pittsburgh.

TOMMY GIBBONS
 REALLY RETIRED
Years Of Inactivity Proves He's
 Through

St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 10 P- Toppled from the pugilistic heights at the zenith of his purse winning power, Tommy Gibbons has con- firmed his retirement from the prize ring by more than year of inactivity.
 In the more prosaic capacity of "one of St. Paul's promising young business men," only with most of the promise fulfilled, Tommy is leading a life quite unlike that Of the average retired" fighter.
 Financially Independent
 Retirement to the average pu- gilist invariably is forced. and once d ring cast-off. he must turn to some other pursuit to make a living. For the average prize fighter has little to do with thrift campaigns. Not so with Tommy Gibbons.
 He emulated his older brother, once the renowned Phantom" Mike Gibbons and when his ring purses grew fat, most of his end went, figuratively. into the' family sock.
 Only a few sizable purses came Tommy's way, for he trudged the long, hard road to pugilistic promi- hence with little remuneration, but in the fading days of his ring glory, past the age when most fighters are through, he garncred a snug fortune.
 Just as did Mike before him, he looked around carefully for the in- vestments that meant security for his money and a reasonable return. He found it in apartment houses and sound bonds.
 Tuuney Marked End
 It was Tommy's first knockdown when Gene Tunney knocked him out in New York in June, 1925, and it was his last, for since that time he has never donned the gloves in the prize ring.
 Gibbons most widely known en- counter was with the champion. Jack Dempsey when he stayed fif- teen punishing rounds with him in Montana in 1923, fighting under a burning Fourth of July sun. His end" of the purse was based on percentage, and there wasn't any.
 But the Dempsey fight flor arts sake" helped Gibbons get other more remunerative enga gements. For his Memorial day fight two years ago with Georges Carpenter he collected his best purse-$G2, ,000. Before that a S12,OOO purse for meeting Harry Greb had been his best.

morning until night. After taking . llsht walk, the champion returned to his cottage, smeared himself with picking brine and went up on the run Tor sun bath. In the afternoon. Dempsey with companion, Mike Irant, went fishing. The result of the expedition was fish, weighing two pounds.
 Gus Wilson, who will be Demp- seys chief second, also tried his luck with the pole and line, but all he got was a blistering from hot noon-day sun. Wilson's boat be- came hung up on sand bar and he was forced to wait there for six hours.
