(BY JOE WILLIAMS)

New York, Jan. l4.-Thcy are calling Ernie Jarvis, recently arrived from England. q second Jimmy Wilde. He is just that. Which is to say in race with Wilde he would have finished second, and a rather embarrassed second at that.
 Like Winde, Jarvis is flyweight. His victims were Black Bill, Johnny Breslin and Young Dencio. In the open market you can buy these kind of fighters in punches, like carrots, radishes and fliVvers
 If the foregoing sentence conveys the idea that the caliber of opposi- ton which the midget from Fleet street has been called on 10 meet since his arrival, the words describe the facts accurately and with clo- quoncn.
 Against the spear carriers in the 1 fywcight division Jarvis will hold , his own and more; but against the more gifted performers, the Fidcl 1 La Barbas and the Frankie Genaros, he will not get very far. The truth !s Jarvis is just q fair battlcr, pos 1 sessing no marked ability either as puncher or a boxer.
 Surprisingly enough, Jarvis ap- pears to be at his best at close quar- ters, and in this respect he is as different from the mine run oi English ringmen as aviation is iron tandem bike riding. Jarvis likes tt get in close and blaze away at tho short ribs and applesauce. So fal none of his American opponent! have been able to fight him off, onct he got in close.
 Infshting is distinct American creation. lt has always been th, custom on the other side to stanr erect and spar" at long range When Willie Lewis, the welter weight, began teaching boxing il France he altered tho inyariahl European pattern somewhat. hut tn
 British etyle has known no amend
 ments.
 Wilde was a typical example 0
 the English school. He stood erect
 almost rigid, and delivered hi punches with the directncSs an
 sharpness of a machine gun Wnil
 iutighting is essential 10 succcs, i the ring, the Mighty Atom wa
 great without it.
 Wtide's remarkable hitting skill
 and he could hit just as hard an . Soiidly with his left ss his right . made him one Of the an--irI notables of the knuckinc bushes
 No man near his inches or pouut , ever carried a heftier v.allop, CT , more perfect one in technique an timing.
 |. Don't let anyone tell you Jarvi
 the new British nyweight, is anoth, , Wilde, for battlers of the Wilde tyr
 come along about as often as ( , Youngs in baseball. Man O Wars
 hoSs racing and Gilda Grays
 shimmying.
 Whereas Wilde was the greate
 hitter the fiywelght division ey, f knew, Jarvis is probably the ngh i est; he has energy, enterprise ar !. enthusiasm. These, together vii :, his skill at infighting, will get hi P by but they will never make him q champion, and certainly they wi
 never make him another Wilde.

The American Legion basketball team meets a tough contender to- night at the Y. NJ. C. A. when the St. Msry's quintet of south Man chester comes 10 grips with the local hoop tosserS in the main go. The team coming from South Manchester tonight will"he more the All-Man. chester aggregation than the St. Mary's because of the fact that the team originally scheduled to appear here haa entered the Pennington Valley league and it means a fine if they participate in game outside the league.
 The Manchester manager got in touch with Manager Clarence Coons Of the Legion team and notified him to this effect but he stated that he had arranged 10 have the All Man chester team come here in his stead.
 A comparison of the two teams shows the AL Manchester five to be several points ahead Of the St. Mary's crew and this will make the opposition for the Legion team to- night that much stilfer. The Et. Mary's team is+Fatci as second to none in the,stGte and Is expected 10 give the Legion the toughest battle of the season tonight.
 The visitors will have all the old time stars Of the hottest basketball town in the state andthe combina- tion has been playing together for years. The men in the forward berths are experienced basketeers and the three supporting members of the cast will handle the locals in all efficient manner.
 Coach Harry Ginsberg will have his strongest lineup out tonight in an effort 10 cop the game as it means much to the home team. The Legion five last week barely lost ou, to the Cresccnts Of Hartford in ar overtime game but the old team work will be there tonight to bea, the South Manchester five if such Is possible.
 Preltm Hummer
 The preliminary game tonight should draw as much interest as the big game because of the fact that two local teams. the Burritts and the De Molay quintet, will oppose each other In drive for the junior cham pionship of the city. Both teams have been travelling at a fast pace and both clubs have large follow. ings which will be on hand to cheer them on tonight.
 The Burritts have been going al full speed in their last four game, and have built up good reputation throughout the state, The team vii be in wonderful shape for the battl, and arealiy worth while fight should snsue. 'f..

ECONOMY

Opening q Democratic attack
upon the Republican boasts of
Coolidge economy" Representative
Joseph w. Byrns Of Tennessee,
ranking minority member Of the
House Appropriations Committee.
today charged the Coolidge Ad-
ministration with enormously in
creasing the cost Of operating the
American Government.
Instead of Coolidge economy
actually reducing Government costs,
Byrns declared the Coolidge Ad-
ministration had spent one and
one-third billion dollars more in
each Of the last thre fiscal years
with an wartime expenditures elim-
inated--than did the Wilson Adj
ministration In the three fiscal years
Immediately preceding the World
War.
In the face of this record, Byrns
added, all talk OF "Goolidge econ.
omv'' was ridiculous
If there was any saving of
money. Byrns declared, it came
through the action OF Congress- IN
refusing to appropriate funds de.
manded by President Coolidge and
the Budget Bureau.
In the current fiscal year alone,
he declared, Congress Topped $6,-
600, 900 off the recommendations Of
the President. while since the Bud.
get Bureau was created, Congress
slashed its recommendations by
1851, ,428, 900.
This saving" said Bryns, was
affected by Congress, even while
Coolidge expenditures were sending
the cost Of Government mounting
higher every year.
Byrns said he was afraid to-
hope" for any real economy from
the Coolidge Administration as the
President encouraged this yea"
by telling the Government employees
that I'VE cannot anticipate further
reduction in the total
annual expenditures for the busi-
ness Of Government"
