squad has been using every spare
moment possible in daily practices
and are steadily showing improve
ment. Much time has been spent
on shooting practice, but frequent
scrimmages have been held in which
the passing Of the ball and floor
work are being developed. Captain
Bunting is playing in better form
than previous seasons and his eye
at the basket is unerring.
Campbell playing the other for
ward position, is showing his old ag-
gressiveness on the floor, and his
shooting is very good. Summers. the
giant center, promises TO excel his
record of previous seasons.
In the guard positions, Ryder and
Shannon are not only showing eX-
ceptional ability in covering their
men, but their passing and floor
work will no doubt be strong fac
tor in giving the forwards many OF.
portunities for field goals. Kyle. the
min azure subforward. will be q great
asset in both shooting and floor work
when his services are called upon.
Drewry. one of the mainstays Of

regular guards hard fight for a
berth, while Gray, a new man, is
showing Improvement. Cane is max.

AL Tearney, head of the Three
Eye and Western leagues. two OF
the five minors which do not rec
ogniZe the rights OF the majors to
sc!ect players each fall. recently sub
mitted a new draft plan affecting all
the minors. This plan will be taken
W TO-DAY.
One of Tearneys proposals would
eliminate the farming" out OF players
by making the ma jors, when sending
drafted or purchased player out
under option, offer the player first
to class \ \ clubs then to class
and on down the line. According to
T"arncy, this will prevent major
club from loading up a minor team
owned by that particular major and
would assure the player OF company
III keeping with his ability.
Unconditional Awards.
Another OF Tearney's suggestions
expected TO receive consideration re-
lates to college players and players
picked from professional ranks.
The plan would provide that when
ever Big league club Is unable to
use player without minor league
experience, the player must be award
ed Internationally to "a small league,
starting with the Class AA club.
This plan, according to its sponsor,
would prevent major club from
farming out youngster for ex.
perienCe and development.

Boxing in better than half OF the
larger States and cities il controlled
by comm ssions which, with great
unanimity, have ruled against mixed
matches. This may safely be inter
preted as indicating that pubic senti-

Public sentiment for and against
such a match Is the controlling factor.
IL the public wants a match between
Dempsey and Wills. 1t will indicate
its desires. And you can say that
Dempsey will be responsive to the
public desires. He realizes that. as
champion, he is subject to the wishes
of the public that makes the boxing
game possible.

no one, and II the public demanded

Kearns is not convinced that the
public is demanding such a match.

up offers of matches." he said.

His Ads Pay Well.

Ruth, as a matter of fact, is not
only a money getter for the Yankees,
but he also makes money for every
club In the American League. One
eastern writer has suggested that he
be made a community affair, each
club paying a portion Of his annual
stipend on the grounds that each club
profits immensely during the eleven
games which he plays in each Ameri-
can League city outside Of New York,
to say nothing of how much each
visiting club gains extra when it visits
the metropolis.
Not q Good Scheme.
However, this does not seem in
keeping with good sportsmanship. 1t
seldom is polite in competitive sports
to hire an opponent to assist in de-
feating ones own team. IL II were

seven other American League clubs

He will miss one complete round with
the western clubs and his own team
NAV suffer in the way of victories.
When a man can make run with
one mighty swing-saying nothing OF
associates who may be on the bases
at the time-his scoring powers can
not be overestimated.

BENNYLEONARD
MAY GET CRACK
At J. bR|TT0N
Lightweight Champion to De-
fend His Title in Garden Bouts,
According to Dope.
Nv JACK VEIOCK.

NEW YORK. Jan. benny
Leonard will get his long coveted
chance at the worlds welterweight
championship before many months
have passed.
Tn was the prediction going the
rounds in boxing circles here today
following the burial Of the hatchet
by Promoter Tex Rckard and Billy
Gibson, Leonard's aggressive man
ag.r.
The worlds lightweight champion
has not boxed at Madison Square
Garden in some months because OF
differences between Richard. Gibson
and himself Now that the storm
fend his lightweight title under
Richards roof and in due time viii
sign to battle Jack Britton for the
welterweight crown.
No Opposition Ready.
'Britton will defend his title
against the best men in his class"
said Danny Morgan. his manager,
today. He has not been idle be.
cause he doesn't want TO box, but
because there have been no good
matches in sight for him recently.
He Is going to take on Shade in the
Garden tbs month and he will meet
other contenders as fast as they
want to come"
How about Benny Leonardo" Nor
gan was asked.
There's a match that's been talked
about a lot." he replied. Certainly,
Jackm take Leonard. He's saving
up a good fight for Benny and
wouldn't be surprised II the match is
made in the near future. Br ttoD
made his attitude plain just the other
day when he told Mr.. Richard to
pick out the best welterweights in
the world and he would take them
on in any order"
Judges Criticised.
Morgan. who was on Billy Gibson's
side Of the fence in the controversy
with Richard, explained that the
main trouble was over the Judging at
Madison Square Garden some months
ago.
He said that competent judges are
being used by the boxing commission
now and that fighters and managers
are satisfied. 1t was Morgan who
made the first move to patch up the
rift in local boxing circles that
threatened the life Of the game in
New York city, and Gibson followed
suit by appearing at Madison Square
Garden last night with Champion
Benny Leonard.
