The second night of the Thurs day night Disbursements Volley Ball League will find the Dodges playing the Bucks in the first game while in the last game the Fords oppose
 the Hudsons.
 The first night of play last week
 proved so disastrous to the organiza ton of the Hudson and Dodge teams that these teams will be consider ably strengthened by the addition of a few good players. The Hudsons who dropped three straight games
 to. the Bucks have added to their lineup the versatile spiker. Howard Demarest of Plainville.
 In the meantime Hornkohl hav- ing visited Kensington. Berlin
 Southington, Newing,on and other nearby towns was forced to give il up as a. bad job and will enter the
 same lineup as last weeks. Reports from H. R. Walkers stables have it that after consider
 able skull practice in Stall 2s, Dor
 sey has been able to develop a few l spikers for the battle with the | Buick team.

flashing blade" of the ring to 6 department store sword-bent ir the middle" as Dynamite Jim himself expresses It.
 One of Maloney's sparring part ners, a large negro named Leonard Neblett. was knocked out in the sec ond round of his scrimmage with Boston's former fish merchant. A right to the head crumpled him to the canvas and added massive cauliaower ear to his features. Ii was the second time he has finished Neblett with a single punch during the training period.
 The Boston giant developed un- usual speed of foot in his ten rounds of real ighting-speed and punching power enough to bring the following proclamation from Dan Morgan, crafty boxing author ity: Delaney will be no match for him with his straight hitting with his left, short right hand punches to the body, natural fighting spirit, aplllty, speed ana youth.
 Maloney too, was confident that the end of the match Friday night will find him a full stride closer to a title match with Gene Tunney.
 "Ill just die trying in there If necessary" he said. T know he's a good fighter but I have two hard fists and that makes 1t even. I've got the best of 1t with a o5 pound weight advantage and the man never lived who could spot me that much weight and make me say 'uncle.'"
 But Delaney even with the rapier blade of his right hand sheathed for the time being, impressed his spec tators at Bridgeport with his perfect condition and consummate ability The French Canadian boxed seven rounds, two with George Ward, New Jersey welter weight; three with Ed die Clarke. a Baltimore negro vel terweight and two with Jack War yen. negro heavyweight.
 Obviously he was on defense, re-
 
 his partners cut loose and rained blows from all angles Ward bounc- ed around like a rubber ball but De lanev caught him in mid-air with 2 stabbing left, and his agile feet ever out-paced the fast welterweight Warren roughed it with him, wrest' ling to the ropes, but could do nc damage in the face of Delaney: lightning left hand, hammered con stantly dead to the mark througl the slightest Of openings.
 Clarke went in there to swap and although he boasts six fingers on one hand he had no better success against Delaney than his predeces- sors with the conventional number Clarke wore a heavy head guard equipped with tin ear protectors be- cause. as he raively explained, he "has a nice radio and wants 10 en- joy it in the future"
 Out of the exhibition there came to observers the conviction that De- laney is in the finest shape of his career, with every move indicating his knowledge Of bagfull of ring tricks. kept in leash to unloose any time he pleases. The Delaney who meets the charge Of the Boston strong boy Friday night seemed more resoureeful than ever-tricky, clever and bigger.

 in which Howard scored a knock out over Sturino in the second round. Sturino has been clamoring for a return match with Howard. He claims that the short notice given him that he was to come to Connec- ticut to meet the middleweight
 champion, failed to give. him suffi-
 cient time in which to train and he feels that the Connecticut fans who saw him in action, were not given their moneys worth because of that fact.
 Matchmaker J. J. Whaler of the Mohawk A.

DELANEY RESTING UNTIL BOUT TIME

 Light Heavy Champ Friday

New York, Feb. Is P-Jack De- laney, cool, suave. boxer has put to sleep until Friday night the men, acing power that turks In his smashing right hand. Bubbling over with good spirits and supreme ly confident on his ability to whip Jimmy Maloney in their ten round bout at Madison Square Garden, the light heavyweight champion Is "on edge" and waiting.
 While defensive drill alone will suffice to keep Delaney at the peak, his humping rival from Boston, down to POP pounds, Is whaling his sparring partners around the work out ring at Long Branch, N. J., in a last minute drive for perfection Of attack.

(BY JOE WILLIAMS)

New York, Feb. 16 Jack De- laney has the fastest right hand and the fastest fighting mind-in the beak-blsting business today.
 Into his routine of fighting are woven all the turbulent trickeries, savage subtleties and animal ar tiflces that made Kid Mccoy what he was back in the olden days-the craftiest man in the craft.
 You are asked to make a mental note of this in pondering the con- sequences of the Canadians first i'm portant start as a contender for the heavyweight championship this against MT. James Maloney of Boston here on February IS.
 Delaney figures to have two chances of winning from MT. James Maloney. Arrayed in the order of their seriousness they are as fol- lows: One is to outsmart him. The other is to outsock him. Or, as an alternative, both.
 Delaneys general procedure is to make a swift analysis of the man in front of him, detect weakness in his armor and then make the most of it.
 That's how he knocked out Paul Berlenbach, Tiger Flowers and, more lately Bud German, the latter heavyweight of full- blown dimen- sions and at least average ability.
 Admittedly it required TO parlor magic to congeal the Teutonic car cass of Berlenbach; he was wide open for a right hand and got it.
 With Flowers it was different, and think the story Of how Delaney unanswered into position to knock out the negro middleweight Is one of the classics of ring strategy.
 Flowers, southpaw, respecting the power of Delaney's right hand, fought with his gloved fist held high against his jaw. Flowers is Delaney's body that seemed to offer the best target for Flowers was the left side of the kidney region.
 Flowers began taking stiff shots at this target. The blows did De- laney no good physically But in another way they won the fight for him. Delaney noted every time Flowers landed a stiff wallop with his right, the left moved by the i'm pact of the blow, would bounce back, exposing the Jaw by about six inches
 At the end of the first round of his first fight with Flowers Delaney sat in silence In his corner while Pete Reilly. his manager, put him on the toaster.
 Say, move around more out there. Don't let that guy hit you so much with his right hand. That'1l weaken you"
 Delaney answered: Don't worry. Pete. The next time he hits me there I'll knock him out"
 The bell rang, Delaney purpose ly exposed his left side to Flowers attack. Delaney took hard stiff right, watrhed the gloved left hand that had been protecting Flowers jaw move out of position and then sent over the one punch he had been waiting fora crashing risht-hander that knocked the Dixie Parson out

League Standing

The Stanley Rule X Level basket ball team went into a tie with the Corbin Screw quintet for second place in the Industrial Basketball league last night when it trounced the Screw Shop five to the tune of 47 to 22. The outcome of the game was a complete upset because every one figured that the Screw Shop would give the Rulers close battle and many favored the High street crew to win. The form displayed by the Stanley Rule last night swept the opposition off Its feet and made 1t runaway after the first few minutes of play.
 The Stanley Works gave the P. & r. Corbn team one of its most in- 'eresting sessions this year. The Workers kept in the lead well into the second half and gave the follow CTS Of the Corbin team real scare. The Southenders found themselves after a time, however, and came through with 34 to 25 win.

Marcinkazvich. showed skill and cleverness and was lad The could easily vie with many that are seen in professional circles and 1t was certainly much more interesting.
 Rulers Win
 Al Sloman was the big reason for the complete rout Of the Corbin Screw team last night. though every man on the Stanley Rule quintet played a classy brand of ball. slo- man. however. played whirlwind game every minute and was in on al- most every play. He was high scorer of the game with 13 points though his running mates Bengston and Ar burr gave him a close run in this respect.
 Arburr started the scoring with a basket at the 1:4o mark and fast battle ensued. Jacobwicz scored Cor bin Screws first point from the free line.

 Second Half
 The second half saw the Rule Shop going faster. if anything. Bengston started things with a basket after four minutes of play and only occa- sionally did the Corbin Screw score any points. Three field goals was the fruit Of the Screw Shops efforts in this frame while the Rulers pepper ed the hoop at will. The final score found the Rulers in the lead 1T to oa.
