Boxing Notes.

Matt Brock, the little Cleveland
featherweight claims that Cal Delaney
has his number. Delaney and Brock
have met twice and both times Cal
has received the decision. Delaney
boxed Joe Harang and the south west
ern boy got the verdict. yet Brock
has put Harang away in short order
on three different OCCASIONS. Gene Del.
mont, of Memphis. beat Delaney with
ease and Brock beats belmont. K. o.
Mars gets a newspaper decision over
Delaney. and Brock beats Mars in q
walkaway. Now along comes Brock
and gives George Cheney. Baltimore's
K. o. king, the worst beating of his
career, yet CLANCY has beaten Delaney
badly in two contests. On paper
Brock looks to have all the best OF II.
but when they get in the ring Delan-
ey seems to have something that
Brock can't fathom.

Work Behind the Bat Put

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March 90
my face may appear grumpy and
grabbed; may have a distant nature
and desire to keep to myself, but the
dear public does not know how to
analyzc an umpire's face"
Hank O'Day, who supplanted the
late Jack Sheridan as dean OF base
ball umpires made this statement to
group of Hot Springs sojourners
one day last week. The veteran ar
bitter is here enjoying a rest and
trying to make up his mind with re
gard to several baseball offers for the
coming season.
"A man may have the mobile and
gentle features of schoolboy." con-
tinued Hank, but after he has
squinted through mask for quarter
century his features are bound to take
on the look OF troubled man. In an
average game of baseball an umpire
makes about 300 decisions. A decision
