dia phragm that caused considerable
amount of distortion in the trans
mitted speech. Further. the tendency
toward burned-out coils was in
creased and results were altogether
unsatisfactory. This difficulty was
later remedied by inserting an Undue
ton coil or transformer between the
line and the receiver. thus isolating
the receiver from the battery and at
the pulsating speaking currents.
In the present day radio circuit we
have exactly the same condition, but
it has been only recently that any at
tempt has been made toward remedy
ing matters The high-voltage 3 bat
terry current. passing through the
coils of the speaker, not only distorts
the diaphragm and the signals. but it
also subjects the coils to tremendous
electrical strain that eventually re-
suits in burned.out speakers or short
circuits. particularly with the new
high.voltage power tubes that de-
mand up to 180 volts on the plate.
The wire used in the speaker coils Is
very fine, about the diameter of
hair. and when the current exceeds
the rated capacity Of the coil by only
small amount consequently they are
destroyed.

who are also planning a Christmas
tree for kids in the border city, the
local lodge has obtained a dispensa-

margin to the Boston Strong

ards little down and out affair
which is to be q sort of a cock
tail for a September champ
pionship fight.
Thirty pounds is too much
for any man to give in the
ring. So much excess baggage
l.. contrary to all rules of
matchmaking and to all rules
Of craftsmanship, and while the
result is surprising in view of
the odds which surrounded the
wagering, it is not hard to
understand when you think of
it in the light Of avoirdupois.
A tremendous handicap to
Delaney, which he had to ac-
cept silently, because the New
York Boxing Commission is very
set indeed in its ways and a
champion must do everything
at his proper weight, even if it
is only opening his mail or tie
ing his shoe lacesi
You can now add Jack De-
laney's name to an imposing list
of pelts which bangles from Jim
Maloney's belt.
This memorandum includes
such names as Jack Sharkey,
Harry Person, Franz Diener,
George Cook, and King Solo
mon, who were outpointed in 10
rounds each. Then, too, there
are two two-round K. O's over
Arthur De Kuh and Charl,v
Weinert, and a 5-round K. o.
over Joe Stossell, a S-round VIC
tory over Sully Montgomery,
and a Ground decision over
Battling McCreary.
His next fight will no doubt
be against McTigue or Jack
Sharkey, as this pair is due to
meet early next month in the
next chapter Of Mr.. Richards
Passing Show Of 1927. With
but three years Of professional
fighting behind him, it viii be
interesting to watch Maloney
from this point onward. Should
his next opponent happen to be
Jack Sharkey, it will be their
fourth meeting, as Sharkey de-
feated Maloney twice in 1925,
which was the year following
Maloney's 1O-round decision
over Jack.
Delaney did not lose his light
heavyweight championship last
night, as that title was in no
way involved, despite the fact
that the French anuck had to
weigh in at It's pounds, which
is the light heavyweight limit.
AS an indication of the upset
in the dope caused by Maloney's
victory last night, it is inter-
csting to note that eighteen out
of twenty-one typewriter experts
in New York City alone picked
Delaney to defeat Maloney one
way or another, which is also
an indication that 1927 is start
ing out to be as disastrous a
year for the dopesters as was
its predecessor.

should assume something like def

nights hostilities when eight Of
the ten teams viii have won, lost
or tied another game.
Three teams-Michigan, Pur.

the lead. They all play tonight,
Michigan at home against In

Wisconsin at Ohio State. The
fourth game on the card Is
Northwestern at Chicago. two
sure fire alsO-rans.
Each Of the three leaders has a
worthy foe, capable Of turning the
tables. Indiana has a chance to
avenge itself against Michigan, the
team that handed the Hoosiers
their first defeat Of the season and
apparently broke their morale. In
diana lost a short time later to
the weak Chicago five.
Purdue has shown more latent
strength than any team-w1th the
possible exception Of Wisconsin-in
the conference. But the Boiler
makers have no soft assignment in
going UP against Iowa. The Hawks
are another outfit that improved
with the season.
Wisconsin, one Of the most
cOlorful teams in the field, viii
be at q slight disadvantage by
travelling to Columbus. The
Ohio State five on their own
floor are VIGOROUSLY dangerous
to all Corners. But the Gophers
have strength and speed and
much reserve force. They are
confident Of victory.
At any rate, the odds are long
that the present triple knot in the
