 Ring fans of dozen or so years ago who attended the amateur box ing. show last night in the Casino recognized a familiar ace>aFOund the fighting arena. He was a stocl<y built fellow, possessing the looks and physique of a former atile1ete.
 Do you know that guy with a gray suit?' was one of the questions pro- pelled back and forth. > -.-.- a-.
 He's Davey Ryan, the Fighting B1acksmith,' remember his famous battles with Andy Parker?''
 They all membered the old glad iator, for the name 'tDavey Ryan among fight fans carried a load of magic sound in the old days.
 Ryan and Parker appeared in sew eral of the most. furious fought bat ties ever witnessed in this section. In one of them Parker broke his arm, but gamely struggled to the end of the bout, and won the decision. At the cine Ryan was a resident of Bridgeport and Parker resided in New Haven; now Parker lives here

Miske Would Go
 Against Dempsey

New York, Dec. 13.-After several weeks of intensive draining Billy MisI1a has rounded into perfect phy- sical condition and he is hot on the trail of Champion Jack Dempsey for another match.
 The St. Paul heavyweight declares he must still be considered a serlous contender for premier pugiistlc hon. ors on his fight in St. Paul when he defeated All Brennan, of Chicago, III @ hard fought ten rounds brennan is the bucko who made to much frou- bIe for Dempsey in their encounter In New York City last December Demp- sey fattened Bill for the count in the twelfth round. but on1y after a toush encounter. Any fighter who can beat Brennan must be taken seriously, Miske figures.
 In addition to beating Brennan. Miske during the past six months knocked out Farmer Lodge. e 235, pounder, and Tommy Mccarthy, and whipped Jack Renauls and Lee An daHson. Miske beat Anderson in eDery round of g. ten-round hlt in Portland, batering the negro almost to a plup.
 Miske already has fought Dempsey three times. Their first bout ended in ten-~aund draw f1 St. Paul in May, 1918. They next met in a six round scrap in Philadelphia in No vernber, 1918 Opinions of newspa- per men, at the ringside varied on the outcome Some gave the decision to Dempsey, others awarded the honors to Misl1e, and still others declared it a draw.
 Miske then fought Dempsey at Benton Harbor, Mfoih., on Labor Day, 1920. He was stopped af taking 8 bombardnlent of punches from the champion that no man could stand up under.
 Miske is still a young man. He is only 27 and he believes that there are many good flights left in his sturdy physique
 He weighs 1e6 pounds after train ing for several weeks and looks as fit as a. race horse.

where he conducts a phyftca1 culture school on Main street, and Ryan is a resident in the Elm City.
 Ryan was here acting in. the role of second for some of the New Ha- ven amateurs. He is~ consid derably storter than in the old days; but he is not an old man by any means; and can still spik over and between the ropes with all of his o1dtime agility. He is still interested in the boxing game and is giving the results of years of experience to the amateur blood of his home city and is the leading spirit in the Ryan A. C., which organization was ably repre- sented on last nights program.
 Fighters of the present day are nc faster and a majority of them are not as clever or the heavy punchers they were twenty years ago. said Ryan. Look at our middleweights Where does Johnny Wilson class with Bob Fitzsimmons, Jack Dempsey, the fNonpareil,' and old Mysterious Billy Smith?'' he asked.

Babe Ruth Fans Out At
 Box-Offiice
By FAX LUDLOW.

; In spite of what critics or experts may say; or what sports may ad- vance as a theory in the matter, a wanop in the box office is usually the blow that guides producers or pro- motors, whichever the case may be. With the matter of Babe Ruth in the formerly well known team of Cross and Josephine, the Babe is a total loss.
 He started weak in Mt. Vernon, and just as he reached Boston and ex- pected the folks to stampede the box office Judge Landfs made his famous decision. Whether the folks in 'Bawston'' are still remembering that the Babe couldn't play ball worth 1ol- lS1pops until he got sold to New York,
 or whether. they resented the fact observe known rules, is a problem. Figuring out the loss to the Keith booking offices is another problem.
 Dispatches from New York to amusement trade journals, say that the United Booking Offices are figur- ing out his vaudeville batting averages in about six decinals. the summer time base ball goose egg being the design of he most popular figure. Af-
