League Standing

Fans who have been following the Industrial Basketball league will flock to the Y. M. c. A. in droves tonight to watch the Corbin Screw team battle the Stanley Rule & Level quintet in what should be the most critical game of the windup for both teams. Let either one win and it is almost out of the picture as far as the league championship is concern- ed.
 These two teams are scheduled 10 battle it out in the first game while the second contest of the night will find the Stanley Works pitted against the P. &; r. Corbin squad.
 The feature game of the night brings together two quintets which are just around the corner from first place. Let the Stanley Rule team win and the Corbin Screw team falls into a tie with it for second place. Let the Corbin Screw team win and it goes into a tic with Russell .S Erwin again for first place.
 IL will he real battle for both teams tonight. The Corbin Screw five will be desperate and will try it's best to come through with win against it's feared rivals from Elm street. On the other hand, the Stanley Rule team will work hard to defeat them, seeing in the offing a chance 10 take a crack at the Russell & Erwin team If that outfit loses one game.
 The second contest will see the re- juvenated P. & F. Corbin team which few weeks ago upset the Corbin Screw quintet, battling the doughty Stanley Workers. This will be good windup for the first game which is expected to be a whizzer.
 The first game of the night will take place promptly at s o'clock and the second will follow right after the first. Dancing will follow both games. Dick Dillon will referee.

DELANEY IS DOWN TO CLASS WEIGHT
He and Maloney to Finish Train
 ing for Bout Friday Night

New York, Feb. 15.-(Pl- Free from threat of intervention on the part of the New York Boxing con- mission, Jack Delaney and Jimmy Maloney today summoned bruised and aching sparring partners about them for two final days of battering. Thursday the principals in Tex Rick ards belting festival at Madison Square Garden will taper their toll into a wait for the opening gong on Friday night.
 | On the person of Dan Skilling, deputy commissioner of the New York body. was a report to the box ing fathers indicating that Delaney champion of the light heavyweights will not weigh over the 175 pound limit of his class when he climbs through the ropes to meet Boston s latest strong boy A rule of the body that requires that a boxer make the weight limit of his own division even when fighting men of a heavier class.
 Skilling put Delaney on the scales at his training camp in Bridgeport, Conn.,, yesterday after the French Canadian had completed his work out. The beam balanced at 1744 and any fear of weight difficulties with the boxing body disappeared.
 With one sparring partner out of action for necessary repairs, Jack Warren, negro heavyweight, felt, the brunt of Delaney's fierce attack in the short session. Ray Neuman, who hitherto had absorbed half the punishment meted out daily, collid- ed with a right hand smash of suf- ficient intensity to remove portion of his eyebrow in Saturdays work out.
 The negro was helpless against the champion in the face of a brilliant and versatile attack, and he hobbled painfully through the workout with a devastating right hand attack drumming constantly in his heavily padded head.
 Not content with proving himself Il Delaney yesterday visited the shoot ing gallery at police headquarters for an hour Of pistol practice He had as little trouble bouncing lead into the bull's-eye of a target as he usual ly does in finding the jaw of an op- poncnt.

Leonard Neblett, George Smith and Tex Evans, claimed to have opposed Delaney at one time or another.

SADIN CARR SETS
 POLE VAULT MARK
Yale Athlete Tops Bar at IS Feet
 g IA Inches in Meet

New York. Feb. 1 , LP,--The "ceil- ing" of pole vault aviators, one-time set at 13 feet was just a matter of conjecture today after the establish mont of a new world indoor mark of , feet IA inches by Sabin Carr of Yale.
 When Charley Hoff, brilliant Nor wegian Topped over new heights during his American invasion last winter. the performances of the for eign jumper ranging 2s high as 13 feet 1-4 inches, were believed the pinnacle of indoor pole vault marks American yaulters failed on most occasions to even force Hoff to dis card trousers and jacket before Jumping.
 But last night at the annual New York Athletic club games muscular college youth exceeded by full inch the best indoor record of the black haired Norwegian and failed only by the thickness of his jersey to clear A 1-e inch in three mighty leaps.
 Hoff holds the outdoor mark Of 3 feet II 13-1G inches. Although his indoor feats during the American tour were not accepted by the A. A |. because Of the foreigners in eligibility status. Carr's best previous performance was l3 feet Is inches at the Boston A. A. games last week
 While 10.00V spectators thunderod applause, two other youths. Paul Harrington. formerly Of Notre Dame, and stephen Bradley, of Princeton, vaulted 13 feet to complete trio Of indoor performance never before equalled.
 Another collegian, Monty Wells. Of Dartmouth. shared record honors for the night with Carr by equalling the 60 yard high hurdle record Of 3-5 seconds, set in 1924 by Carl Chris iiernson, the crack timber topper from the New Hampshire hills shat tered the world mark over the 45 yard sticks last week
 Johnny Gibson, Fordham univcr- sity tlier, and Earl Wildcrmuth. n freshman at Georgetown university, also turned in sensational perform ances to kick the dope" bucket all over Madison Square Garden.

A hole in one is the big thrill in the life of every golfer.
 It is the no-hit game of baseball, run for the length of the field for a touchdown of football.
 True. luck is more or less the de- ciding factor, but the drive must be straight for the pin to turn the trick. 4 hole in one does not necessarily signify class. Many q novice has performed the feat.
 Jock Hutchison is one of the lead ing golfers who has qualified for membership in the hole-in-one club. He has two to his credit
 It is an interesting coincidence that both of Hutchinson holes in one were made on the St Andrews links. He first turned the trick on the St. Andrews links just outside of New York. while the other hole in one was made in the British open of 1921 on the St Andrews links, Scotland He almost repeated. Here is how Jock told the story to me.
 Lots Of players have made q hole in one in exhibitions but seldom in national tournaments.
 Tn 1921, the year I won the British open, l made the eighth hole in one. It is q short hole and my drive was straight for the pin. Imagine my surprise when I dis covered I had holed out.
 "The ninth hole at St. Andrews is a tritle better than 300 yards. Elatcd at my success in making the eighth hole in one, I took q healthy cut at the ball and got off beauty that ] knew must have carried 10 the pin.
 Reaching the green, I discovered that my ball was within three inches of the pin. The ball had carried to the pin with unerring accuracy, struck it, and rebounded q few inches. Those standing around the green said it would have dropped in for one had the pin been re- 
 T have always regretted it didn't. Making two successive holes in one in the British open would have given the boys something to shoot att

LA BARBA RECEIVES
 TERRIFIC BEATING
Johnny Vacca Of Brighton Springs Another FiStic Surprise

Boston. Feb. IS CP)-Fidel La- Barba, fyweight champion of the world was recovering today from one of the worst beatings of his career. and local boxing followers were trying to explain the latest sen- sation of the ring, Johnny Vacca of Brighton, who last night ripped his way to a 10 round victory over the titleholder.
 If LaBarba's crown had been at stake there might have been a new wearer today, but the men were fighting at catchweights. Nacca scaled the beam at 115 1-2 pounds while LaBarba tipped it at 117.
 A confident champion who never before had been knocked off his feet played with the local boy through the first round but before the second had gone more than 20 seconds he took left hook to the jaw that resounded through the for the count of nine.
 He staggered to his feet and was downed by a right hand smash that kept him on the canvas for a count of five and hardly had recovered his equilibrium when another left hook returned him to the resin for nine while the crowd went wild.
 Nacca uncorked q brand of speed of which his friends who have watched him campaign as a lesser attraction for the past three years had not believed him capable. Only the champions ring generalship saved him time and time again as the local boy rocked him with ter rife punches.
 The fourth round saw the cham pion on the floor again for the count of nine but in the fifth he started a comeback that allowed him to car " shade in that and the next two rounds. The ninth went to Nacca but the last saw both striving desper- ately for a haymaker.
 Nacca's showing was all the more remarkable because he was without hope of financial compensation. When a heavy snow storm had made prospects of good nox office showing dim he volunteered to go through for nothing and his offer was accepted. The crowd which saw the bout was far from a capacity house.
