SWATTERS CAPTURE.
 VOLLEY BALL TITLE.
Defeat Hitters to Win Boys Club
 Championship
Final Standing

Ray Andcrson's Swatters won the championship of the Boys club senior voiley ball league last night when they broke their tie with the Hitters hy defeating that team after heated encounter. The Jumpers Pete Sliva's climbing crew, provided the other feature of tho evening by. completing their last-minute dash out Of the collar. Four games were scheduled for the night, the matches of two weeks being doubled up in order to finish the league and turn all attention 10 baseball.
 Tho first match brought the Hit ters and IIoppors together, both seeking to break the first place tie and win the title. Superintendent Dwight Skinner's team took the ad- vantage by winning the first game after a grilling struggle. The sec ond game was even more exciting, and the count went to 15-all before the Swatters smashed home tho winning point. The Hitters then cracked before the speed of Ander- sons men and gave but feeble op- position in the third and deciding game. The scores:
 Swatters .........,..,. l4 Is Is Hitters .............. Is 15
 The Jumpers, who had come from far behind in the last few weeks and pushed into tie with Carl Carlson's Hoppers, met that team in the second match and went ahead by winning a tight trio of games. The first went to the Jum- pers, but the Hoppers came back 10 take the second. Silva led his men 10 victory in the odd game and he had almost duplicated his feat of last year, when ho rushed from bottom to top in the closing weeks of the season. The scores:
 Jumpers ..............15 s t1G Hoppers .............10 15 14
 Slivas Jumpers then met the Hit ters. who still had a mathematical chance of going back into a tie for the lead. The Hitters. however. were crushed in the first game and were beaten again in the second, going down in straight sets and losing their last opportunity. The scores:
 Every position in the league was now decided and the result Of the last game would have no bearing on the standing, so the champion Swat ters forfeited the final match Sched- ulcd for the evening and the Hop pcrs pockoted it in vain, for 1t did not bring them out of last place.

ONE FILIPINO IS
 LEFT OF QUARTET
Dancio, Villa and Sencio All
 Died After Hard Ring Battles

Chicago, April 21 HD --- Only one of Q quartet of Filipino youngsters selected by Frank Churchill in Man fla, and trained 10 a boxing bril- lance that enabled them 10 contest upon on equality with the best of their weight in the world. remains alive and able to carry on -- Pete Sarmento, the largest of the group and at that only q teatherweight.
 Clever Sencio, who died yesterday in Milwaukee after terrific 10 round bout with Buddy Taylor, Terre Haute, Ind, challenger for the worlds bantamweight title, was the third to pass on In that manner.
 Young Dencio was the first He died after a gruclling fight with Bert Mccarthy in Melbourne. Australia. Previously Dencio collapsed after his fight with Eugene Criqui of France, former worlds feather weight champion, but recovered. Then came Pancho Villa, who soar cd to heights just beyond the reach of his three little brown brothers by winning the worlds flyweisht cham pionship, only to die too. after fight.
 The unusual record of deaths of the little Filipinos has caused Chica- go ring followers 10 wonder if there vas something in the tropical make up to render them unable to follow the fast pace set by their white foe men in the roped arena.
 Certainly the series of deaths Is without parallel In boxing history, and each of them followed hard, smashing contests in which, exhaust ed 10 the very verge of death, none of the Fi!ipinos gave an inch, but fought territically 10 the final bell. or, as in the case of Dencio, until 8 hard smash rendered him complete ly hors in the combat.
 sencio and Dencto were clean liv- ing youths, beautifully muscled and apparently in excellent condition when they entered the widely sepa- rated rings for their last fights.
 Villa, fhe champion, had deyiated slightly from the rigorous path Of perfect condition, but he had youth, science, physique and an amazing energy in his favor when he stepped into his last ring.
 He might have survived had he obeyed his doctors orders. He was warned not to fight because of an in- fected jaw bone, but persisted and died later of blood poisoning after suffering Q terrific pelting about the head. Jimmy McLarnin, recent victim of Taylor, was Villas last op- ponent.
 Villa, ever a lavish spender, never showed until his last fight the effects of the soft life he found so agree able after his hard little fists began to knock down American dollars. Ho earned thousands in his short, me- teoric career, yet the charity of bis friends sent him home to his bride. 4 fine monument to his prowess adorns his final resting place in Manila. It grew from small dona- tions of admirers.
 Sencio. likewise survived by young bride in the islands, hewed closely to the lines of his chosen career, and was strictly temperate in his eight months in America. He was saving, and his great desire to outshine the Villa staN left him no time for dissipation.

DELANEY IS BEST
 TITLE PROSPECT
Harry Greb Thinks Bridgeport Jack Most Skilliul Man in Ring

Hartford. April 21-Harry Greb, king of tho middleweights until Tiger Flowers came along and strip ped him of the title, heaps fulsomo praise on Jack Delaney in discussing the Bridgeport light heayyweights skill as q fighter.
 The great Park City ring per former who is 10 battle King Solo mon in the Hartford state armory on next Monday night, is picked hy Greb as the man who will make the ascent 10 the heavyweight throne, and in so doing, will jostle Jack Dempsey from the pedestal.
 Seldom, If ever. has a fighter drawn such q measure Of praise as Greb is bestowing on Bridgeport Jack. When asked his opinion of Delaney as an exponent of the so- called manly art, Greb had the fol- lowing eifusion:
 Delaney will be the next heavy weight champion of the world, be- cause he is the best man in the ring said Greb.
 That's simple logic. I fought Gene Tunney and beat him twice and I was only middleweight when I defeated him. Tunney is not great fighter, he is not a natural fighter. Delaney is Q better punch CT and 8 better boxer.
 "Delaney would knock out Tunney inside of five rounds; Jack is na- tural fighter, Tunney is a mechani- cal fighter.
 Delaney is the best boxer before the public today, and the most dan gerous hitter. Any time he lets that right hand 80 he is apt to tiatten his man, and he doesn't have to draw it back and cocl, it, as we say iu tue ring. Jack Is cunning and resource ful.
 "He was wonderful against Me Tigue, and triclted that trickster into doing just the right thing at the right time for Delaney to smear him.
 'six months ago Delaney lay at deaths door. He weighed only 40 pounds. Now he Is 8 stalwart, strapping man. He will continue 10 grow, and when he grows up there will be none to contend with him. Two years from now and he will lick Dempsey. He can punch with Demp- acy and is a better boxer"
 Interest in Delaney's appearance on George Mulligan's coming card in Hartford continues on the upward trend and present signs indicate that all previous indoor attendance rec- ords In New England will be wiped out. Requests for tickets are pour ing In from all over Connecticut and western Massachusetts.
 The supporting card promises much in the way of action.
 In the semi-final Paul Doyle Is down to battle Irish Tommy Jordan. These two welterweights are real rivals and this time will aim to set- tie the question of superiority in conclusive fashion. The last time they met was in Albany about a year ago and the result was a draw. Doyle, resourceful fighter with a good punch, will be seen against a more rugged and perhaps harder hitter In the Irish lad.
 In an eight-rounder Ruby Brad ley of Holyoke will take on Johnny Breslin, q member of Delaney stable while In the sizes, Romeo Roche of Holyoke will battle Phil Richards the Englishman and Alex Rely, a Peruvian. will square off with Mur- ray Gitlitz of New Haven. The last two are heavyweights.
