NEW YORK, Jan. 10 QP.--An OBJ
stacle to the Jack Delaney-Jin Ma
loney heavyweight bout arranged
for February 1S at Madison Square
garden loomed today in the state
ment of James A. Farley chairman
Of the state athletic commission, that
Delaney should confine his activities
to the 175-pound division, in which
he holds the title.
EFtarleys opinion, while expressed
Gs a personal view, may force an
issue before the boxing board soon.
The other members, George Brewer
and William Muldoon, are under
stood, however, to oppose any inter-
ference with the heavyweight pro-
gram mapped out by Tex Rickard to
produce challenger for Gene Tun-
ney.
The commission has barred several
champions from stepping out of their
class, but also has made exceptions,
although at the same time compelling
title holders to make their own class
weight Thus, Delaney, in fighting
Malcney, probably would be ordered
10 make 175 pounds. This. however,
would be no handicap to the French
Canadian, who normally makes that
poundage.

A Re al Authority


DERHAPS no one man in base
= ball is better fitted to select
an all-time team than Connie
Mack. He can go back over a
period Of 40 years as player and
manager without greatly taxing
his memory,
One day last summer, while dis
cussing the relative merits of GER
tain star players. / asked him to
name for me the players he re-
garded as outstanding at their po-
sitions over the last 40 years.
1t didn't take him long to ex-
press himself. l am inclined to
think that at various times in his
career he must have given such a
question much consideration.
Here are his selections. and. by
the way. they make a pretty fair
ball club To that l am sure you
will agree.
Mack's AlI-Time Team g
LIE named Buck Ewing as his
- catcher. Christy Mathewson
as his ,right-handed pitcher and
Rube Waddell as his southpaw.
Mack qualified the Waddell selec-
tion thusly:
"Waddell easily was the best
left handler of all time as far as
natural ability went, and likewise
was a consistent winner. Yet, be-
tween Plank and Waddell, would
have picked Eddie for team value.
"Chase was better fielder than
Sisler, but for all-round value I
would name Sisler as my first
baseman."
For shortstop and third base
