RICHARD WANTS TO
 SIGN UP DELANEY
Jack Will Be Given Chance to Enter Heavyweight Tourney

New York, Jan. 10 P1Tex Rickard today bent to the task of ironing out details of his elaborate heavyweight program, seeking to definitely fix Jack Dempsey and Jack Delaney in the scheme of his elimination program.
 A conference with Delaney was expected to decide whether the light heavyweight champion is to be in- cluded in the race with Jack Shar- key, Jimmy Maloney, Paolini Czcu- dunn and Paul Berlenbach for the chance to battle Gene Tunney next September. Pete Reilly. Delaney's manager, thus far has declined 10 fight the frank and file" of conten- ders holding out for bouts against Dempsey and Tunney.
 With the heavyweight champions contract already in his pocket, Rickard today was prepared to de- liver an ultimatum to Delaney. If Delaney elects to ignore the other heavyweights who have done all that has been asked of them, then 1t is his funeral" said the promoter
 Rickard also has wired Dempsey asking information on the date or the former heavyweight titlefolder's return here. He expects Dempsey to accept at least one match before seeking to wrest back his lost lau- rels.
 Richards present plans call for Major fights in his elimination series as well as the championship bout to be staged at Yankee Stadium, but he has indicated he may accept an- other site for the title struggle. lie already has received offers 10 pro- mote the battle at the Baltimore Stadium, which seats approximately 1s5,oO0 or at Soldiers Field in Chi cago, scene of the Army-Navy foot ball game.
 Meanwhile. eastern fistic circles are concerned over a series Of vel terweight conflicts in the east this week. including a ten round bout Friday night at Madison square Garden between Joe Dundee of Bal timore and Eddie Roberts Of Ia coma, Wash. Roberts knocked Dun- dee out in the first round of Pacl- fife Coast bout several weeks ago.
 On the same night, Pete Latzo, the 147-pound champion, is h'lieo 10 box his long-defcrred match at Wjlkes-B Barre, Pa, against sergeant Sammy Baker of New York.

Bare Fist Battles
 Of the Prize Ring

Iron pipes wielded from back of wing, a black jack> smacked against a mans skull when he was | backed up against curtain-those ! are some of the tricks. Madden and 1 myself had to use to get out of tight places when we were touring the country agreeing to score q 1 knockout over any conner or forfeit $50.
 i Many a time l had to resort to the ''hack-heel punch in order to get my man down and save the $50. I usel to step in fast and stick out my foot behind my opponents leg. Immediately I'd slip over a light ming left or right It never failed to flop man and many times he stayed down from the force of the fall.
 When our fights were staged in theaters we'd have an assistant stand behind the curtain with a big club or length of pipe and If my man was too big or too tough lit tie outside whacking always came in handy I had to watch out my self, too, and keep away from tho wings and backdrops when was in enemy territory.
 Madden taught me lot of the tricks of the ring and he was pretty clever with his dukes himself. He always insisted on courage in his boxers and used to delight in telling how he got John l.. Sullivan his first fight under his direction with a rough and tumble artist named John Flood. who was killer in the ring. Sullivan said he wanted to meet Flood and told Madden to go get him the fight. Madden tried to sign them up for Queensbury or London rules but Flood was very sruff and hardboiled and trying to frighten Madden. said, It's going to be tch-as-catch- can and every- thing goes."
 Madden hesitated. finally agreed. and went over on the lower eastside to rouse Sullivan out of a deep slumber and tell him of the danger ous foe he had matched him with and under what conditions they would fight.
 Sullivan sat up In bed. blinked a bit and stared at Madden until his story was finished.
 T don't give damn-I'll be ready tomorrow" Sullivan roared and promptly went back to sleep
 Sullivan knocked Flood out in eight rounds in a one-sided fight on barge.

LOU CELEBRATES
ANNIVERSARY

Today is anniversary day for Lou
Nau, and Lou is celebrating in fitting
manner. You might guess from the
foregoing statement that LOUIS birth
day anniversary is being referred to
and wondering how many years young
he really is. That's wrong, however,
for what we are referring to is LOUIS
injury anniversary. 1t was just one
year ago today, on May 13, that Lou
suffered broken leg as the result
of fall from a scaffold on which he
was working. And just a few days
ago he was permitted to leave the
hospital and return home to Nom and
the kiddies for the first time. Lou
says the first year being laid up is
the worst, and he is glad that year is
behind him, and hopes the future
years will bring him better luck. And
in his hope he is joined by hundreds
of friends and acquaintance.
His injured leg is fast improving,
and with his loyal friend, Herman
Perpingon, to run him around in the
fiivver, the world looks much brighter
and happier to Lou today than it did
year ago on this very same day
