DELANEY STRIPS
 BOGASH OF TITLE
Former Winner of Bout That Pro-
 duces Little Real Action.

Bridgeport, Feb. I7.-Bridgepor has a new ring idol. After the l5- round set-to between two of its la vorite middleweights, considered the best pair at the weight in the state,
 Louis Bogash who has held the crown
 for several years, was dropped as the
 best of the Park City scrappers. Jack Delaney, whose name sounds as though he came from the good old
 soil of far off Ireland but who in real ity is related as far as blood goes to Georges Carpenter, is the new cham pion of the state He won the title after he and Bogash had sidestepped, waltzed and did various other things inside the Arena rink Monday night. | But one of those things wasn't fight. | There was very little of that during l the 45 minutes the pair were inside
 the ropes Delaney was too good tor ogash the way the latter fought l Monday night. 1 The blond Italian outgeneraled himself in that he waited until the 1 latter rounds of the scrap before he resortcd to those tearing in and slug l ging tactics that have won him pre-
 vious battles. Bogash merely canter- cd through the first seven rounds and Delaney jabbed and right hooked his l
 until the ninth that the critics gave Bogash round. In that session the
 Italian took the offensive and ht II landed his left and right with telling frequency upon Delaney's chin and nose.
 Il Delaney came back in the 10th and
 took that session and his manner o1
 boxing had his opponent clearly puzzled. The Italian went to hl: corner shaking his head. Bpgash had the better of the nth rohnd, send
 ing his left and right to Delaney:
 face and mixing his offensive with {
 left to the body that landed fair though many in the audience though he was hitting low. He had piled III comfortable lead in this round be
 fore Delaney caught him sock il the jaw that slowed him up Tor tn rest of the frame.
 The I2th was an even affair and tn
 18th produced the first real fighting
 of the bout The men mixed 1t freel, ', in DelaIey's corner, the exchange ex | citing the crowd and bringing the ma ; jority of 1t to its feet. In the 14th Bogash again took the offensive an'
 two hard lefts to Delaney's moutl brought plenty of the claret Tn I5th saw Bogash trying hard to ge into close range but each attempt wa : frustrated by the superior boxln; abilities of the French battler.
 < The bout was not satisfactory affair Bogash has been given credi for being fair at in fighting but h showed little Of that in this battle
 For the first seven rounds he kep at long range and when he did rus l in, Delaney's brilliant refense shove off all of Bogash's punches. Tn = Italian didn't hit single real blo1 t in these sessions. The fans were no , impressed with the way that Bogas
 fought, though Delaney was given
 rousing ovation when he left the rin : because he was on the short end of Il three to one and 10 TO seven bettln < and there were plenty in the hall, al
 parently, who had risked a five or s on him. Some were heard to say tn; u it was "in the game but in the opil II ion of the writer, the men fougl Y their best. Delaneys boxing ar 1I length of stature with his long snal 'i like 1eft-hand bothering Bogash whi
 the famous crouch of the Italian mao e it practically impossible for the ne lH champion to do any real fighting.
