 Gets Decision

 Delaney has conquered Paul Ser lcnbach and Tiger Flowers through knockouts, yet last night in Madi- son Square Garden the dangerous right hand was powerless against an all-sweeping attack that sent forth bitter shots, and at the end Slattery had won the decision on points.

Slattery met Delaney some months ago in the same ring and gained the verdict by much larg- CT margin than he had last night.
 The Bridgeport boxer who has made record that he cannot afford to waste, undoubtedly will await the Buffalo lads coming of age before tacklng him again. Slattery will become q voter in Auust in plenty of time for some promoter to stage Q bout of a longer distance between the men. At present the New York state athletic commission bars min ors from participating in matches that call for more than six rounds.
