CAST SHADOW
FOR TWO DAYS
Witnesses Tell of Being Fear.
full After Seeing Leaks
in Huge Wall

Los Angeles, March 23.-CAP)-
The st. Francis dam disaster cast
its shadow over the little settlement
in San Francisquito canyon for two
days before the huge concrete wall
collapsed, but the warnings that
were issued as a result lacked suf-
ficient force and authority to cause
immediate evacuation. The result
was The loss of some $50 lives and
untold property damage.
Such was the testimony revealed
before a corOner's jury here in
which several residents Of the area
Immediately below Tyuidamo told
their stories.
At least two men-L. Berry. pow
er house foreman, who died in the
deluge, and Dave Matthews. a sur
vivor, saw the warning shadow.
Matthews testified that upon visi
iting the dam Saturday with Berry
they found "the old road washed in,

 NEW YORK, Feb 2S--Jack De laney. the playboy of the heavy weights, will be up against one of the toughest of the big fellows in his 15-round tussle with Tom Heeney at Madison Square Gar den, March 1. Their battle opens Tex Richards new elimination tournament" with an early sum mer shot at Tunney's title as the prize.
 The dashing Delaney undoubt- edly will be a heavy popular flaw orite although he has always had trouble with the husky, durable type of fighter ably represented by the n-jawed Irishman from New Zealand. The crowd still strings with the fighter who can hit and the French-Canadian flashes of ring genius in knock out victories over such opponents as Paul Berlenbach, Mike Me Tigue. Tiger Flowers and Bud German are not easily forgotten.
 Against a flock of lesser antag- onists of late, which included Sully Montgomery and Leo Gates, Delaney has shown new evidence that the old knockout punch is there.
 Heeney, too, in his steady, plug ging way, has been doing things these days. getting draw with Jack Sharkey in his last big fight, winning from Johnny Risko and knocking out Jimmy Maloney,
 Indeed the dope based on com. parative showings against the same opponents, gives Heeney somewhat the better of it. His

 Delaney and Heeney, alike. the ex-king of the light heavies, who joined the big boys in quest of the big money, and Heeney, the uninspiring but hardworking in fyader from the Antipodes, stand together on the threshold of box ing's biggest prize-and only one can stay. Delaney will continue training for the fight al his head quarters in Bridgeport, Conn, where, as he says, he can get home cooking. while Heeney will do his limbering not far from Broadway.
 Delaney, now full-fledged heavyweight, expects to scale about 1892, which means giving away some F pounds.
