Devon Boxing Fan Defends Old-Time Ring Champs
By Old Sport.

T was greatly interested in what Davey Ryan had to say about the present crop of fight champions not being the equals to the champs of the old days, which was printed in Tues day nights Times writes William William Savers of Devon, who informs us he was a great admirer of Ryan when he was battling in these parts. However, he gives Jack Dempsey credit and believes today he could lick John l.. Sullivan when the latter was in his prime.
 Savers in his communication states his opinions frankly and what he says may be interesting to Bridgeport fight fans, some of them who have seen the best of the champers of olden times in ring action.
 The Devonite puts Johnny Wilson, holder of the middleweight crown, in that Wilson would be no match for Stanley Ketchel, if the latter was liv- ing. Wilson will never rank with Ketchell # he fights 20 years, says Savers. wilson is a shadow boxer when compared with Wetcheu," he adds.
 Jack Dillon in his paln1y days was far superior to Georges Carpenter, In Savers opinion. He says that Dillon in hds best ,niddleweight form was the equal of Frank Klaus. who stop ped Carpe ntier He also classes Bill Papke as Carpenters superior.
 Cans Best Lightweight
 Our Devon friend puts down Benny Leonard and Joe Cans as the great est of lightwe1ghts, evidently forget ting that Jack McAuliffe retired un- defeated with the championship and was regarded one of the greatest ring sters in history. Savers rates Leon ard and Cans on a par with clever ness and punching ability, but de- clares that Cans excelled in ring gen. eralship. The yellow streak charge against Cans, he says, was eliminated in the negro's two fights with Dal Hawkins In both of these encoun- ters Hawkins scored knockdowns in the early rounds, but Cans recovered and emerged winner in both contests by knock outs,

Ebbets Draft Program. Zs
 FdU0red By Major M0guLs

New York. Dec. 14-CFub owners of the two big leagues indicated to- day before going into annual session that they would aplprove the sugges- ton made yesterday before the Ma tional League by Charles H. Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn club, pro- hfbiung purchase of players from minor leagues opposed to the draft. Ebbets' proposal apparently has pro- vided each league with good material for convention talk. His resolution was to be voted upon today by the National league magnates and 1t was expected that the assistance and CO., operation asked of the American League on the subject would be forth coming at the joint meeting of the two leagues on Thursday. Colonels Ruppeprt and Huston said they were favorably impressed with the idea.
 MT. Ebbets' proposal virtually was a boycott of class A and class A of minor baseball leagues. The plan would be to sever the major leagues a source of income from those minor bodies that refused to submit to the drafting agreement created last January which still has six years to run.
 Mike Sexton, president of the Ma tiona1 Association that governs all minor league baseball, favored the return to universal draft throughout organized baseball. He said the

 Praises .'Mysterious Billy"
 Getting down to the welter class the Devon expert claims that Mys- than the present champion, Jcak Brit ton. Smith, he said. had a punch that would break down and cruZnble Britton's wonderful defence. It would be hard matter for Smith to knock out the Jack Brftton of today, says Savers, citing Smiths triumphant battles against Tommy Ryan.
 Hlbane at his best would have been an easy victim for either Terry McGovern or George Dixon, he says, and Jimmy Barry would put it all Leon. Jimmy Anthony and others of the best boys in his class when the former was in his prime. He also claims that Dixon would have out short fight. Kilbane won the title from Abe AtteH by a narrow margin on points. and Atten in his palmy days ddd not class with McGovern and Dixon when they were at the top of their form.
 Savers voices the opinion, that will be readily agreed upon by the major ity of ring sports of this and past gen erations, that Jack Dempsey would have beaten John L. Sullivan in. the Boston boys best form. Dempsey. he says. Is much better boxer than Sullivan was and is a two-handed fighter, while Sullivan had little de- fens.ve skill and depended on a right hand swing to bring down his oppon- ents. He avs Dempsey is willing to take all corners, while Sullivan lodged all of the good men of his time. These included Peter Jackson, Joe Goddard Frank Slavin, Bob F'itzsimmons and Peter Maher. maintaining that the only first class man Sullivan ever met in his class was Jim Corbett, who beat him to frazxle.

draft would be boon to class A leagues declaring that in the last season only five of eighty players sold, commanded greater returns than could have been realized through the draft.
 Important business before the Am erican League owners included the new contract with Miller Huggins, manager of the Yankees. which Hug gins probably will sign today. Hug gins. it is said, insists on a two year contract. while the club owners want to sign him for one year.
 Huggins and Frank Navin, owner of the Detroit club, had a long con ference yesterday and were reported to be waiting for Ty Cobb to arrive today to get together on a deal said to involve Ehmke and Veach for the Yankees and Mitchell, Collins and another player for the Tigers.
 The recommendation of President Heydler before the National League that the major leagues take steps to organize their own minor orsganiza- tf ons from which to draw recruits has evoked favorable comment. This would give proper training opportun- fty to those young men, he said, who wish to enter the profession from the college field or the lots, but who will not join minor league clubs fearing their free advancem lent to higher classes and higher pay would be re- stricted if not absolutely eliminated.

Big Shakeup Zn Ne1u HaUen Club Is Planned By Weiss
BALL, SIMPSON, BENDER AND SHAY 5 MAY WALK PLANK

New Haven ball fans are eagerly awaiting thundercIap from George Weiss which is due this week, or short ly after the session of major league magnates in New York.
 Weiss has stated he will announce of New Haven 1922 manager. Ac- cording to the dope in the Elm City the days of Chief Bender are num- bered, and that he will not be at the Bender is popular with the fans, it is said that the redsIdn and Weiss did not not get along as harmoniously as

There have veteran big league outfelder who join cd the Bender tribe in midsummer. may be given the reins, but Weiss is hum on that point, also. Neither will Hger. So.- the official statement from Weiss suite of offices in Hotel Taft is stirring the old dame curiosity:
 Neal Ball May Go.
 Weiss, however, has hinted there's going to be a shakeup in the ranks, and in addition to Bender three of his action elsewhere. The three mention ed are A. J. Shay, brilliant infielder. who sticked for .295 last season; Neal Ball, "brainest second baseman" in q 300, and Earl Simpson, outfielder, I who c1outed the pill for .273.
 Simpson, in point of service, Is the dean of the New Haven Club, having drawn his salary in the Elm City for six or seven seasons. He was also a member of the championship team in 1916. Nothing against Simpson, ex- cept there's a feeling that he has been with the club too long and that a change would be mutually advan- ] tageous.
 The same feeling prevails in the ease of Neal Ball. He is still counted as being a valuable player, but during the past two seasons Ball has been i hnmerciful1y ridden by some of the ! fans at intervals when the club was going bad. In the case of Shay, the shortstop, and Weiss are said to have 1 had several run-ins last season. Weiss has made an excellent start : in bolstering up his team for next sea- son, if his intentions of a thorough Ehousecleaning are sincere, in signing ! Bowman, star first sacker of the New 1 port News Club in the Virginia ' League. Bowman is right-handed hitter and a. classy fielder, so say the reports. Last season he hit over the | BOO mark, his whaling stunts at the bat including 10 home runs. 48 dou- ! bles and three triples. On his record 1 great things are expected of Bowman.

 On Heinie Scheer

 Gene McCann, former Cincinnati Reds scout and present manager of the Bridgeport club, said the other day that Scheer is sure to stick in the big show. McCann liked the Bronx boy so well the first day he played against Bridgeport he tried to buy him from Hartford. Tt would have been a fine bargain says Gene. T am sure I could have persuaded the Tanks to take the boy and I would have had his services for a year on what could have been made on his purchase price,

.Ex-Gridiron Star,
 Joke In The Ring

' Jesse PhiIbin starred on gridiron while at Yale, but he will never be a champion boxer. This was demon strated in the amateur bouts last night at the Garden when Philbin was easily beaten by Frank Adams. a New York policeman. Adams had the best of the battle in all of the three rounds. PhiIbin appeared fat and burlesqued it most of the time. He had no punch and less, science. With every feint from Adams he would dart away with head lowered, as if on one of his famous 3O-yard runs. The batt1ers fought hard, but the bout was placed in the joke class by the 4,000 spectators.
