De- larey has as good a chance to get the coveted "shot' at Gene Tunney's heavyweight title next summer, and 1t is his intention to clean up the field quickly and be in a position where Tunney will be forced to meet Delaney, whether the ex-devil dog likes it or not.
 The De1aney-Jamaica Kid bout will not be the only attraction on the Sedgwick' Guards program that will draw the capacity crowd ex- pected at the armory tonight. Three other tilts, each of which is attrac- tive enough to headline any boxing card in Connecticut, are also slated
 Sammy Nogel, known as a second Benny Leonard. and who is tenta- lively matched to box Sammy Man dell for the lightweight crown next spring, will make his initial bow before a Nutmeg audience when he takes on Clikey Clark, fast stepping Holyoke youngster. This set-to is prescribed for eight rounds as are the bouts between Fred Bretonnel, French lightweight titleholder and Tony Travers, of New Haven, and Baby Doll and Red Garren, both of Waterbury.

ONE MAN DECISIONS
Illinois Commission Has Had So Much Trouble With Referees That
 Judges Have Been Named.

Chicago, Dec. 10 R-One- man boxing decisions have brought noth- ing but trouble to the Illinois athlet- ic commission. Paul Prehn, one of the two members said today, in ex- blaming the rule adopted providing for two judges at future ring shows.
 Veteran ring men," he said, per- suaded us to adopt the system of judging bouts by the one-man in the ring, They argued that the referee would take such pride in his work that he would be pretty near right in every decision and would not be influenced by outside pressure.
 But we have been having trou- bles with referees ever since we started. On nearly every card there have been some distasteful decisions, much to the disgust of fight fans who from much watching of ring battles, have come to be pretty good critics

SCIENCE IN SPORT
British Golfers or Boxers Must Change Methods to Gain Suprem- acy in Athletic World.

London. Dec. 10 PrIf British golfers or boxers, or, for that mat ter, any type of British golfers arc to wrest supremacy from America, science must be applied to sport, says Dr. Robert Blakoe, English physiologist.
 Dr. Blakoe. for instance says the modern style of attacking the golf ball is all wrong. He has developed a theory of play that is revolution ary. The chief feature is that there shall be no movement of the feet in playing any stroke. Both feet must be planted firmly on the ground. Full use of all waist and trunk muscles shall be employed, in- stead of making the arms do most of the work.

There is more in this bout tonight than just meeting of two anna teurs. Going back some time ago, fans who attended the bouts at Cap itol Park in Hartford will remem- Der that the two met and Hall knocked out Terzo with one punch.
 rerzo is a different fighter now ihan he was then. He is stronger, hits harder and has put away men who have been just as tough as Hall ~hoIld prove to be.
 Hall is confident that Terzo is the style Of fighter that is just made for rjm, and every time he is asked bout the bout, he grins and says, Watch me"
 The match tonight was made at inc repeated requests of Terzo's s stable, it is understood. Terzo wants 10 even up the count and MT. Hall is in for a beautiful session.
 Joe Howard is going to have his hands full taking care of Schooner, the East Hampton baby. Howard hasn't met a real tough opponent in some time, but tonight will find him against a boy who will be anything but afraid of him. It is said that his opponents are licked before they go in the ring.
 Schooner is just like his name. brim full of confidence, and though Howard might be able to beat him, he will know that he has been in a real battle before the fight is over.
 Tonight should bring out the larg- est crowd of the year at the state aymory on Arch street. With matches such as have been made tonight the entire card takes on sensational aspect that gives promise of large number of knockouts before the chow closes.

sary a detour which will inconven-
fence tourists-coming into the state

Ter, a Mr.. O'Clair. was introduced to
nlin at his boarding house and tried
20 get MIN TO take insurance in his
company. He informed the agent
that he was carrying all the ins,r.
ance he could, and at that visit or a
subsequent visit the agent saw the
policies that plaintiff was then
carrying. At the second visit plain
tlH did sign an application and a pol
ICY was issued to him, and q prem.
ium was paid. Shortly after this
policy was issued PLAINTIFF broke his
left leg while employed by Green and
wilson; was In hospital for several
months. He had his doctor, DR..
John Towne, send his claim for COM
pensat1on to the company. The
agent, Mr.. Grover, called at the hos

that his company would pay him, At
ter two or three months in the hos
pltal PLAINTIFF received a letter from
the company returning his premium
check and denying liability as they
stated they had no knowledge at the
time his application was made of the

from his other companies. and also
through the Workmen's Compensa-
