DECIDE ID CANCEL
 INDUSTRIAL GAME Corbin Cabinet.Corbin Screw Basketball Contest Called 0if

The Corbin Screw-Corbin Cabinet Lock basketball game, postponed so often and the last basketball game on the '. M. C. A. Industrial league slate. will not be played. according 70 official inforrfation received by the Herald today.
 Managers Jack Tobin and William Hickie got together and decided that since the game would amount to nothing more than a finish to the in- dividual scoring race, they called it off. It was MT. Tobins opinion that the playing of the game would cause ill feeling.
 The Corbin Screw team won the championship of the league and Cor bin Cabinet Lock was definitely in second last place when they played their second last games. The only game left on the schedule was one between them. This game ordinarily would not be played but for the fact that the Screw Shop captain, Andy 1akubowitZ. runncr-up among the leading scorers might have q chance of overtaking Paul LaHar. leading scorer who had q o7-point margin.
 Had tho game been played it was the Corbin Cabinet Lock players in- tention to concentrate on holding Andy and prevent him from over taking LaHar It has been said that he five members of the Cabinet team intended to "sew up" the Screw Shop player.
 LaHar Wins Scoring Championship By this action the scoring cham pionship goes to Paul LaHar who led the league through three-quar- ters of the season. Playing at right forward for the Iafnir team he dis played a brilliant offensive attack throughout the season. He was the main cog in the Fafnir basketball machine which finished in a third place tie. He scored total of l32 1 points in l4 games, an average of almost 10 points game.
 LaHar will be awarded the NJ. C. Levitt statuette. representing bas- ketball player. This award was an- nounced just previous to the last | game of the season and wild scramble for LaHar's honor started | immediately. Although Yalubowitz, who was in fourth place and who was playing iu the first game of the night, passed LaHar and had a seven point lead. LaHar came back in the final game of the night to put the individual championship on ice"
 This is tho first time since the league started that a player other than Mickey" Luke won the indi.
 vidual honors Luke won it in his
 first season in the league and in the
 past two seasons as q member of the r, S F. Corbin team.

New York, April 30 OR-Jack De- laney and Jack Sharkey are to fight Is or less rounds at Madison Square Garden tonight.
 The Boston sailor man Is an s to 5 favorite, chiefly on account of the disappointing showing Delaney has made in the heavyweight lists. The match brings together two of the rings greatest mysteries. Once regarded as an eventual certainty to wear the mantle that now drapes about Gene Tunney's broad should CTS, Delaney lost prestige he will find 1t hard to regain in his defeat by Tom neeney, the rugged New Zea- lander. Unless he flashes again the form that carried him to the light heavyweight throne. Delaney may hnd himself cut loose From any fur ther opportunity of crashing into the "big money among the heavy weights. As light heavyweight cham rion Delaney was hailed as one of the super-men of the ring. His left hand was one of the most accurate in the game and he possessed a kill
 ing punch in his right. Against Heeney the Bridgeport "rapier" kept that right hand strapped to his body and his left was not enough to keep the blacksmith from hammering out victory.
 Sharkey is in much the same pre- dicament as is his opponent. His

In the singles matches against Cubav Toba easily won a straight set victo. ry over Dr. Vicente Banet, the Cuban champion. while Ohta dropped only five games to Roselio Paris. Both players had been handicapped in their practice by the unaccustomed heat of the island republic. In tho doubles Banet and Paris carried Toba and Abe to four sets, the last at deuce, before they lost, 6-S. 6-3. 4-6,9-7.
 The last two singles matches which will be played today as exhi- bitions without having any effect on the result of the tie. will give the Japanese pair another chance to show their strength.

 With no "shot" for the title in 1 sight, it may be that both will aban. | don caution and seek to regain the rrestige that once was theirs. Tom Heeney, who came out of the tournament with the prize-a match with the champion--is due to arrive from England today and is expected to witness the fight.

JAPANESE TEAM
 SWAMPS CUBANS
Davis Cup Squad Regarded as
 Americas Greatest Rival

New York, April 80 tR-The Ja- panese Davis Cup team has firmly intrenched itcself in the position of leading contender for honors in the American zone by its overwhelming defeat of Cuba in the first round tie at Havana. Figured in the advance calculations as the most dangerous opponent of the United States on this side of the water. the Japan csc showed their strength by sweep ing through three straight matches to defeat the Cubans.
 While 1t hardly seems likely the oriental team can do more than of- fer unexpectedly strong competition for Captain Tilden and his mates. it appears almost certain that Japan will be one of the American zone finalists.
 In the second round Japan will meet Canada, which drew a firSt round bye and is etill an unknown In the other half of the draw the United States comes up against the comparatively sweak Chinese team The winners of these ties will meet to decide which will play in the in- tcrzone final in France.

Abe made a good showing in this country in the southern tournaments early this spring.
