WIN FOR DELANEY. MAKES
WILKESBARRE FANS RAVE

WILKESBARRE. Pa, Jan. 90
Some dissatisfaction was expressed
today with the decision which last
night gave Jack Delaney, conqueror
Of Tiger Flowers and Paul Berlen-
bach, the verdict over Allentown
Joe Cans at the end of ten fast
rounds. According to a published
poll of the officials, one judge gave
the fight to Cans, the other de-
clared for draw and then Referee
Pop" O'Brien decided the issue by
voting for Delaney. Many Of the
fans believed that Cans was en-
titled to a draw.
The referees decision, it is be-
lieved, was influenced by the fact
that Delaney scored a knockdown
In the seventh round with a right
TO the jaw. The remaining rounds
seemed to be evenly divided, al.
though several times Cans shook
the French Canadian with heavy
rights to the head.

A few faint bleats have been
registered over the selection of
candidates for the recent feather
weight tourney, some captious
souls maintaining that the COM
| mission took the precaution to go
blindfo1ded into a coal hole in
order to pick its men. Be that as
| 1t might, the fact remains that
the boxers named were in the top
flight of the division. The latter
merely has turned a bit sour in
championship class.
The same is true of the light
weights. There is no Leonard
among them. not even a Richie
Mitchell, a Charley White, a Lew
Tender or a Rocky Kansas, con
tenders of a few years ago. But
such as they are. they probably
are the best of the class.

Jack Civic, who gave Lew Tend.
Ter his first knock out last night,

Yet Civic weighed 141 pounds for
the encounter according to reports.
He can't play with our boys at
that weight.
OF the really legitimate contend
ers, Mandell and Terris seem to
be the best, and OF the two I like
Mandell. He is very fast, is not
altogether punchless and has shown
much gameness under fire. / can't

seem to think he is a riot, but
I have my doubts. 1t seems to
me that ferris has a long way
to go.
Joe Dundee, however, must
have something behind the con-
VentiOnal quota of hands and feet.
He stopped Nate Goldman In
Philadelphia last night and they
ARE not doing that every evening.

Johnny Leonard is a good average
fighter SO is Goodrich. OF O'Con-

That seems to conclude the testi-
mony. A good contender of the old
days such as Young Erne, Willie

through that division like pick

Eastern's superior foul shooting
may yet be the means of saving
the team from defeat. Bennie
and Scruggs can average four out
of five foul shots. and the others
are pretty fair. In this respect
Central is weak. Mcdonald missed

WATCH FOR THE
WHITE LINES
Council Gets Stricter About
Parking Cars on The
Main Street

The mayor is over in Seattle, pre-
sumably on a purchasing expedition.
1T is thought that he is dickering
for complete set Of battleaxes. The
councilmen, police force and Carl
Moritz will be equipped with the big
carvers, with which to hack off the
ends of cars that stick out over the
newly painted parking lines.
Still, there may be lack of bat
tleaxes. Anyway the mayor is in
Seattle, and the council is going to
get real strict about parking in the
main street.
This week white lines will be
painted on the pavement on the down
town street from the ex-bank up past
the Methodist church. Cars are to be
parked between the lines and not al
lowed to extend cut into the street
beyond the lines. That means that a
couple of the school busses and trucks
will have to park on the side streets
from now on.
In the block near the Methodist
church parallel lines. will be painted
and owing to the narrow street, cars
will be required to park within the
lines, parallel with the curb, instead
of at an angle as on the rest of the
tstreet.
The state highway man was here
this week again, with warning that
head and tail lights must be right or
there will be wholesale arresting
bee soon.

Mrs. l.. M. Keene gave comprehen-

are Completed
OPPOSES HARTLEY
ON RECLAMATION
White Bluffs Not Involved
in State Reclamation
Policy

Two Yakima valley members of the
legislature, Senator Morthland of
Yakima and Representative Moulton
Of Kennewick, are deep in the fight
in behalf of state reclamation and
the White Bluffs Hanford soldier
land settlement project. Both are
thereby in opposition to Governor
Hartley and Erie Barnes. Yakima,
who are making a determined effort
to take the state out of reclamation
and land settlement.
It is planned by Governor Hartley
to make individual settlements with
settlers on the White Bluffs project,
leaving the settlers to shift for them
selves. The state would then have no
maternal interest, only the matter
of collecting the individual obliga-
tions of the settlers.
But, according to Senator North
land, who said he made personal
inspection, "the White Bluffs settle
ment is not hopeless. It needs only
sympathetic cooperation
Representative Moulton favors a
Legislative inspection of the reclama-
ton situation, holding that the White
Bluffs project is not involved in the
matter of a state reclamation policy.
He, therefore, favors the Banker hill,
which would take reclamation away
from the governor and place it under
Clark Savidge, commissioner of pub
lie lands.
Both Senator Morthland and Rep
resentative Moulton are opposing
Governor Hartley's move for a re-
duction in the state highway program.
They are specifically opposed to dras-
tic cuts in motor license fees, which
would cut revenues for highways.
Representative Moulton is ready to
make stand for two new state high
ways for his district, if the highway
program is opened at this session.
There is considerable agitation for
and against new highways, which is
likely to come to a showdown in q
week Or so. If any new highways are
granted, Representative Moulton will
push for a ssnorth and south high
way" an extension on the North
Bank highwhay from Kennewick to
Maryhill. He has bills prepared for
both projects, which would gain state
maintenance.
