Senator Pepper
Condemns Draft
Rule Opponents
rRepublIcan A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. - Minor
league organizations which are re-
fusing to recognize the "seIective
system" for advancing their players
to the major leagues as advocated by
these two organizations are "violat-
ing ethics of Americanism and hold
ing their players in bondage" United
States Senator George Wharton
Pepper, framer Of the major and
minor league agreements and rules,
declared here today.
TT appears to me that those
leagues which are opposing the Sc
lective or draft system are looking
more to their individual interests
than they are to the progression of
the national pastime
THE selective system serves three
fold purposes. 1t not only takes care
% the player and the club owner but
IL likewise serves the public. The
player is given his chance to go up,
the club who loses his services is
recompensed and, through his gradu-
alton from one league to another it
maintains the high standard and ef-
ficiency of play"

vhet Neff, the only lightweight or

Chet Neff, the only lightweight or
the Pacific Coast who has never
been knocked out, reached Phoenix
Yesterday morning for Monday
nights bout with Billy Alger.
Chet made the rounds shaking
hands with former acquaintances anc
at 8 p. m. he went down to the Eighth
Street arena where he went through
a strenuous afternoon. He boxet
with Ralph Pena. Young Mike ane
Wildcat Johns, skipped rope, shadow
boxed and was given a good rub
down. After he finished work Chet
said he was ready to step through
the ropes.
TO go through over ESQ fights with
out suffering ONE knockout is a rec
ord that few fighters have ever
equaIled. Chet has been defeated
several times, but no fan can say
that he did not give fight win or
lose. He fought every lightweight
from Tia Juana to Alaska since he
first started fighting in Seattle in
1916.
Neff is about the only coast light
weight who holds a decision over
Young France. Chet holds two deci-
sions over Sailor Friedman, who is
now going big in the east; beat Jake
cisiofl over Stahl on q foul in one
fight. but refused to take it and beat
Jake to the decision): beat Willie
Hunifelt: fought two draws with
Tommy Carter and he should have
been given decisions in both bouts;
fought Joe Benjamin draw; beat
Ad Wolgast, Young Ketchel and sew
eraI score other well known coast
lighters. Recently he defeated Harry
Gastine, Young Papke and Joe Dun
dee at Los Angeles,
Last Sunday he lost to Lee Nor
rissey on a foul. The Yuma papers
state that a high wind blinded both
fighters with dust and the foul was
unintentional. but Morrissey was url-
able to continue.
Neff makes his home at Long
Beach where he is associated with
his father in the bakery business
His wife and son live at the coast
beach resort and occasionally ac-
company Chet on his fight tours.
After winning q decision from Otto
Wallace down here in 1919 Chet went
to Seattle where he fought several
bouts and started q tour of Canada
and Alaska. He won the Canadian
lightweight title by defeating Charlie
Mccarthy at Prince Rupert and won
three bouts at Vancouver. lie lought
five fights in Alaska and won three
OF them.
After his tour Of Canada and
Alaska Chet went cast where he
fought and won six fights. lie then
returned To Long Beach where ne
started In business, fighting regularly
in addition to helping his father look
after the bakery.
Chet is a business man and
fighter and he keeps in condition al
all times When Chet gets an offer
for a fight there is no necessity for
delav. as he can get on the train
right now, fit for any kind Of
grind. He can travel 20 rounds or
four and the promoters know his
fighting ability and he is always IN
demand.
When Tommy carter was hitting
his high stride, Neff was imported to
Miami to meet the home pride and
he gave Tommy the hardest fight OF

SOUTH BEND Ind. Feb. 3. -
Johnny Mohardt, Notre Dame uni
versity's ALL American halfhack who
is sought by several major baseball
teams. today admitted to university
officials that he had played in a pro-
fessional football game. Mohardt
was the twelfth Notre Dame star and
the twenty second middle western
athlete to admit such a violation Of
college rules during the past few
weeks.
Mohardt confessed playing with
Racine, wis, American Legion team,
against the Green Bay, Wis, packers
at Milwaukee, December 4. 1871.
Three Notre Dame players IL.
Anderson, Garvey and Larson :
previously had been barred from col
legiate competition for playing in this
contest and the packers were ousted
from the American Professional
Football association for using college
men in it in violation Of the school
and association rules.
Mohardt is just completing his col
lege course and consequently the uni
versity officials feel, they said. that
Il would be useless to inflict the same

punishment upon him as upon the
others +. disqualification from
athletics. Because OF this fact It
was thought tonight the matter
might simply have to be dropped
Besides the big league baseball
proffers, Mohardt has been offered a
contract as a football coach at an
eastern school. He recently was
exonerated of implication in the game
at Taylorville. Ills, which precipi-
tated the football scandal.
Mohardt said tonight that he had
definitely decided to enter major 8
league baseball but has not yet de-
cided what team he will play with.
At the end of the football season next
fall he said he expected to enter the
University of Pennsylvania Medical
college. He will not be eligible to
play football with Pennsylvania, it
was pointed out, as he has already
had three years Of college competi-
ton.

his career. He easily earned the de-
cision over Carter, but the referee
called it a draw and almost started
riot. The boys were e-nnatched
for the July date at Midland City
In 1919 and fought another draw.
The decision in the second fight was
as unpopular as the first one.
Neff fights from the gong and
opponent and when he Is matched he
fights. If Billy Alger stops Neff
Monday night he will have the dis
tinction of being the only fighter who
ever landed the sleep producer on
the baker king.
This afternoon Neff will work out
at. the Eighth street arena with
Young Mike, Ralph Pena and one or
two other local boys. Neff will start
working at 3 O'Clock.
While Neff is working at the
Eighth street arena, Billy Alger will
work out at the Coliseum, with Sol
dier Brown, Joe Grimm, Douglas and
others.
BY getting into town Friday NOR
ming Chet will give the fans a chance
to see him work, but the fans who
saw him fight Wallace two years
a. host of local admirers who will be
out to see him work, and it's good
bet the Coliseum will be packed
Monday night.
Ten reservations were requested
from the Globe Miami district yes
terday and when the out of town
fans hear that Chet is matched with
Alger there will be many more wires
for seats. Alger and Neff are both
well known in the Arizona mining
camps and their bout Monday night
will be watched with interest in eS-
cry section of the state.
Brown Meets Mike
1t has been definitely settled that
Soldier Brown will meet Young Mike
In a four round semi windup to the
Alger- Neff bout Monday night. Both
boys closed the match yesterday and
the fans can get ready for the big
noise.
Brown Is a promising youngster
and the rail birds predict he will beat
Mike If he goes in and fights, Rivers
had Browns number for o long time,
but Brown changed the whole stand
ing of Phoenix pugilism when he
dropped Rivers in his last fight.
Mike holds a kayo over Brown and

think only OF the future he will pass
with high honors. Fans who have
followed both boys through their
workouts would be willing to risk
several shekals that Brown beaty
Mike if they were certain he would
carry the fight. Mike is hard hit
ting and fairly clever boy who takes
the fight out of his opponent with a
couple Of slasl1es at the gong. It all
depends on how Brown stands up
under the opening attack. If he
weathers through he has q good
chance Of winning as he is clever and
fast.
Romo and Wildcat
Young Romo is. going to try and
tame Wildcat Johns IN a four-round-
err. Romo says he wi. stop Johns in
three rounds--if he does he is show
ing more steam than he is credited
with carrying. Douglas is the only
boy who showed enough to stop
Wildcat and Douglas had a weight
advantage.
