Has Lost Two Bouts.

r ACK DELANEY, in his short
i. three years, has been most
busy, yet he has lost but two
bouts. He broke his arm in the
first round of his bout with Young
Fisher, Of Syracuse, and the bout
was stopped by the flying towel
in the fourth round.
About two years ago Augie
Rather, whose best work has been
done in England, by the way,
knocked out Delaney. In a return
bout, though, Delaney made Rat
ner look foolish.
Last September, after Delaney
had been boxing one-handed for
two years, a New York specialist
operated upon his broken hand.
He placed a new cartilage on the
knuckle and Delaney took a rest
from ring activities.
On January ), 1924, he re-
turned to the ring and knocked
out the tough Jackie Clarke in
two rounds, the final blow coming
with the hand that had been
broken. Five days later that same
hand knocked out Sailor Martin
in twenty-nine seconds.

Jack Delaney is his ring name
and how he came by it is an in
teresting story, and one not un-
known to ring history, either.
One Divide Chapdelaine was
born twenty-th-ee years ago in
st. Francis, P. O., about forty
miles from Montreal. His par
ents followed the French Cana
dian trek to Holyoke, Mass,
while Divide was a child and he
grew up in Holycke. He was
working in the American Thread
Company's plant in Holyoke when
he became interested in boxing.
When this young French Cana
dian began appearing in the ring
the fans had a haro time getting
around his name. They usually
referred to him as "That Chap
Delane."
"That Chap Delane," repeated
many, many times, was turned
into "Jack Delaney" by the boxers
original manager, AL Jennings,
and as Jack Delaney, Divide Chap
delaine is marching along up the
ladder to middlewe;ght fame and
fortune.

The following letter from a Rock
Point fisherman only goes to show
that the fellows down stream are
beginning to feel the effects Of the
monster nets.
Mr.. r. A. Angler:
Every once in a while there Is
a Government official visiting fish
ermen and gathering statistics on
fish. How many caught, the aver
age price, etc. To the average fish
erman this means little.
"a very small percentage Of fish
ermen really know how many they
caught and what they make, as has
been said, few keep books. They
are solely interested in the daily
check they receive, and SO long as
they are making a little money and
catching as many as their neighbor
fisherman they are a happy got
and let it go at that.
But let the word fish appear
in a daily paper, the fisherman
Immediately sits up and takes
notice. then say shad fishing; you
will then see him read, put on
his glasses and read again, and
then the whole family must read
it. Probably some of our Con-
gressmen may also sit up and
take notice.
"How can we save the fast dwin.
ding shad supply? The same thing
should have been said about the
sturgeon twenty-five years ago. It
should be remembered only q few
years ago it was plainly seen that
some protection must be provided
for the protection of wild fowl
such as ducks. geese and swan.
They were slaughtered on Sun.
days as well as every week day.
Also any month, any time. Rifles
were used. small guns, large guns,
gatling guns, anything was used
to get the duck. The larger gun
was used to kill whole flocks. One
day our statesmen got busy. Plac-
ing restrictions on time to kill, the
large guns must go. Not probably
good for the large gunner, but
mighty fine for the ducks.
1.-THE same thing can be said of
the shad industry. The large guns
must go. Will not be so nice for
the large gunner. but mighty nice
for the laboring man who would
like baked shad on his table at
least one month in a year. have
offered no set of rules to be applied
for the protection Of the shad. I
prefer to let some other fellow
shoot. The game Is very interest
ing, not so interesting when they
are all gone. Now is the time to

HAS anyone ever figured what all
of the property belonging to all the
Indians in this country is worth?"
asked Jack.
Eyes, Jack, I have those figures
right here. The total value of the In
dian property is estimated at $1,000,-
100000. Here is something else inter-
esting. There are 44,200 Indian famil-
les living in permanent houses and
40,962 Indian farmers are cultiVating
800, 700 acres of land, and the cattle
owned by Indians are valued at $780,
100000.
Charles H. Burke, Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, recently sent letter
to the Governors of all States where
Indians live and among other things,
he made this interesting statement:
GAS generally known, the long
standing policy of the Government
has been to prepare the Indians for
citizenship and to give them protec-
ton while doing so. In this process
prominence has been given to the ed
ucatiOn of their children, to the i'm
prOvement of their health and home
conditions, and to the conservation OF
their property, including practical
guidance in making the best use of it.
It will hardly be denied that results
within the last two or three decades
have been encouraging. The Indians
have steadily increased in population.
They now understand and observe bet
ter than ever the laws of health
I'm other words, kiddies, they are
being we'll taken care of and are bet
ter off than ever. So goodnight.
