TEX WAS BACKED
BY BANKING HOUSE
Financial Genius Of Fight
Promoter Disclosed by
Boston Globe.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, January 12.-The Boston
Globe, in q copyrighted story to be
published tomorrow, says that the
financial genius back of the late Tex
Richards greatest sports promotions
was the banking house OF Hayden,
Stone & Co.
This firm, the article says, built the
Madison Square Garden in New York
as the first Of a chain of such enter
priseS in the principal American cities.
Rlckard was under a contract which
controlled "all of his activities of what
ever character or nature" in any part
of the world except the States of
Nevada, Arizona, Idaho and New
Mexico, where he was a free agent.
The fight promoter is stated to have
been N an annual salary of $25, 900
and to have owned 40, 900 shares in the
Garden Corporation, worth at one time
more than 81 1000. 900. His warm
h~eartedness and open-handedness With
the stream Of acquaintance requesting
loans of aims were such a heavy drain
upon his resources that before his
death Richard had cashed half his
securities and had reduced his estate
! ~ less than half a million.
Richards partnership with the bank
ing interests dated from 1923, when the
razing of the old Madison Square
Garden left the promoter without an
arena. Hayden, Stone & Co., built the
new Garden in New York. The COM
pany includes a number of former

talents by running a Capital hostelry,
protest as a South Atlantic A. A. u.
official against the action OF the
metropolitan division in sa~ncti0ning
in this country the visit "fOr a year
or more" of Paavo Nurmi.
Ornstein's contention that having
the Finn eligible for competition over
such a long period is unfair to our
American athletes is answered in
one quarter by the assertion that
American athletes will derive as
much benefit from competition
against him as he will in using our
tracks for training to represent his
own country in the next Olympics.
Says observer:
"Ornstein'S real objection probably
is opposition to another Nurmi tour
and its subsequent scandals. But
Why talk around and not about the
real subject?"
We are indebted to our old friend
Bill Brandt of the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger for the following, which
relieves us just as 1t should the
Gotham s~crivener he refers to-:
New York scribe got all excited
yesterday because the Athletics
roster contained only 81 names
The smallest Spring training
squad in history was the burden of
his song. 1t certainly would be If
that vas the whole squad.
"But the Elephant uniforms moving
around Terry Park, Fort Myers, will
number more than 40, counting
Gleason, Thomas and Oil Mack. In
addition to the 81 Stgned-up players,

The trend toward the chain store
system in base ball appears to be
about as strong as that toward eight
cylinder ears in the autom0tive
world. That's one conclusion to be
reached from the official announce
ment that the Yankees have pur-
chased control of the Chambersburg
club Of the neighboring Blue Ridge
League, which has produced such big
league stars as Lu Blue, Lefty Grove,
Johnny Neun and Hack Wilson.
This scheme is said to have been
evolved in the fertile brain of
Branch Hickey, who runs the st.
Louis team of the National League
and some four Or five other clubs of
various minor cla~ssifcations. 1t has
its advantages in the opportunity for
developing and juggling players as
may be attested by the fact that the
Cardinals have COPIED two of the
last three pennants. The plan will
fail of unanimous adoption, however,
so long as C.. c. Griffith is a major
league mogul. Griff is dead set
agin the idea.

ASSURES STR|BL|NG
CONTEST AT MIAMI
Latter to Get 20 Per Cent OF
Bout on February II.
$500, 900 Gate Expected.
BY WILLIAM r. I n

ANps 0RNAA - .
BOSTON. January u R.-After
haggling for three hours here today,
Johnny Buckley, manager of Jack
Sharkey, and William F. CArey, vice
president of the Madison Square Gar
Gen Corporation. signed a contract
which guaranteed the Boston heavy
weight 100000 for boxing Young Strib-
ling of Macon, Ga. at Miami Beach,
Fla, on February 81.
The terms provided that Sharkey
would be paid $3.50 0 on February II
and the remaining SIS, 900 on the morn
ing of February 81. The contract GER
titled that the referee would be an off,
cial acceptable to both Sharkey and
Stribling and that his identity would be
seven days before the bout. Other con-
cessions given Sharkey were all travel
ing and hotel expenses for himself and
Mrs. Sharkey as well as Mr.. and Mrs.
Buckley.
Buckley said he and Sharkey would
arrive in Florida on February l and
would strike their camp at Miami,
where the Boston fighter planned to
train publicly, thereby collecting about
$4,000 more, he figured.
Sharkey Not at Meeting.
Sharkey was not present during the
negotiations, which were attended by
Buckley, his attorney, Carey; Jack
Dempsey, their attorney; Sheldon Fair
banks, general manager of the Garden;
Eddie Mack, Boston Garden boxing pro-
moter, and Daniel j. Carroll, manager
of Jimmy Maloney, another Boston
heavyweight.
Carroll was called into the meeting
during an early stage, when Carey and
Dempsey were trying to obtain Sharkey's
services for a lower figure. Buckley was
adamant, and when Dempsey and Carey
appeared to balk at his price he sug-
geSted that they call Carroll into the
conference and obtain his consent to
match Jimmy Maloney against Stribling
for their Miami bout. Dempsey and
Carey refused to consider the suggestion
seriously and finally agreed to Buckley's
terms for Sharkey.
The Boston Garden officials, Fair
banks and Mack, were on hand to offer
Sharkey an 100000 guarantee to meet
Stribling in his city, If he refused the
Miami match.
AS soon as Buckley accepted the
100000 offer, Jack Dempsey, who will
play the late Tex Richards role as pro-
moter of the Miami battle, left for New
York. He said he expected to leave for
Miami early tonight.
Dempsey left Carey behind to iron
out the laSt-minute disagreements with
Buckley, which were many. The Bos-
ton manager objected to many clauses
and phrases in the contract, but these
were finally changed to his satisfaction.
StribIing to Get 20 Per Cent.
Both Dempsey and Carey said that
Stribling already has accepted their
terms, 20 per cent of the gate less the
taxes. Both predicted the receipts would
exceed $500, 000.
Once during the haggling. Buckley
suddenly changed from a boxing man
ager to a promoter. He asked Dempsey
if he would meet Sharkey for 100000
and when the former champion refused,
made it a half million. Dempsey, how
ever, took it as a joke although Buck
ley said Sharkey would be willing to
fight for Is per cent and give one-fifth
of his share to Richards widow.

TO UMPIRE
AGAIN THIS YEAR
Veteran Arbiter Signs for His
Twenty Third Campaign in
National League.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 12.-William J.
KLEIN, a National League umpire for %
years, today signed a contract for his
tWenty-thlrd season, reconSidering a
previously announced decision to retire.
The veteran arbiter said last Novem-
Der at his home in Miami, Fla, that he
had umpired his last game, and later
declared that he was firm in his stand.
1t was said hat he was displeased be-
cause he was not appointed to serve as
a member of the umpiring staff in the
last world series.
However, in conference with Presi-
dent John A. Heydler today, KLEIN de-
clared that he had not been dissatisfied
because of failure to oficiate in the
world series, but had become tired of
the years.
He felt deeply criticism leveled at
him because OF a decision in q game
between the Cubs and Giants at the
Polo Grounds last season when he
called Andy Reese out at the plate
when the Giant infielder was carrying
the winning run home. The Giants
claimed that Catcher Gabby Hartnett
unlawfully interfered with Reese to pre-
vent his progress when the Chicago re-
ceiver was not in possession of the ball,
! and therefore not privileged to obstruct
, the base runner.
KLEIN claimed at the time, and insists
! now, that his decision vas absolutely
! correct and could not have been other
wise"

DEMPSEY STARTS SOUTH
TO ARRANGE FOR SCRAP.
Jack Says Heeney-Paulino Also,
Will Meet, With the Winners
Flashing in Final Go.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 12.-Jack
Dempsey returned to New York from
Boston tonight just in time to board a
train for Miami Beach, Fla, where the
former heavyweight champion of the
world will make arrangements for the
Jack Sharkey-Young Stribling bout
there February 81.
In Boston Dempsey left William F.
Carey, vice president and treasurer OF
Madison Square Garden Corporation, to
s~traighten out business matters in con-
nection with the Boston Garden.
Give me a break, poyS," Dempsey
called to newspaper men, I'm a pro-
moter now"
Revealing that his connection with
the Garden was for this one fight only,
Dempsey said he was interested only
in carrying out Tex Richards plans as
he knew them and of being of every
possible assistance in protecting the
interests of Mrs. Richard and her baby.
Sharkey, Dempsey said. was signed
for two bouts under the Gardens pro-
motion. Stribling. he understood, signed
under similar conditions.
Heeney and Pauline, Too.
Dempsey said he believed Tom Hee-
ney and Pauline Uzcudun would battle
rnder a like agreement and that the
winners Of these two bouts would meet
in a final elimination match some time
after June. 1t wa for this latter bout
that the Garden offered each of the
principals a second fight.
Dempsey said that in his personal
opinion the winner of the Sharkey-
Stribling match would be the out
standing heavyweight in the country
at least for the time being.
Dempsey added that his discussions
with Carey while en- route to Boston
had not changed his stand on the ques-
ton of a personal comeback. The
old Manassa Mauler said he hadn't thu
faintest idea as to whether he would
enter the ring again.
Carey is expected back in New Y0ri
either tomorrow or Monday, in tins
Tor a meeting Of the directors of thu
Garden when the official o. K. probabl!
will be placed on arrangements for thu
Sharkey-Stribling bout.
Dempsey then left for the train tina
is to carry him to Florida. Mrs
Rickard, Walter Fields. close friend o
Rickard, and Steve flanagan. repre-
senting Miami Beach, had tickets TO
the same train.
