TRACK TEAM WILL MEET SUFFIELD ON SATURDAY
Coach Cassidy Handling Squad Dur ing Illness Of Coach Leonel
 Depot.

Coach George NJ. Cassidy of the baseball team is taking charge of the New Britain High school track team during the illness of it's regular coach. Leoncl Depot. Mr. Cassidy will alternate with the two teams. Two nights this week will be given 10 track and two nights 10 baseball
 The track team faces Suffield Preparatory school in Suffield Sat- urday afternoon and it is probable that since the baseball team is play ing the day before that members of that team will be eligible for use in the meet. Among those who will Captain Eddie Hinchey. Louis Lan- dino. Eddie Sowka. and Bogdanski. who is the track teams best bet in the pole vaulting event.
 The first attempt of the team to start the season failed when rain forced a postponement last Satur- day. With the aid of good weather this week the team seems in better position to score victory.
 Much of the teams success will depend on Joe Szabo. Tony Grzybow- ski. Chester Yahn. and Sidney Lines in the dashes. and on the relay team: on Arnold Reckert in the field events. especially the shot put. and on John Reid and Dick Gordon in the high jump and Bogdanski in the pole vault. Eddie Hinchey who showed considerable speed in broken field runs back of his own line of New Britain High school football game last fall. will probably "cut it up" bit in the track meet Satur- day.

'RUM0R THAT BOUT
 WAS TN THE BAG'
New York Commission to InYes. tigate Delaney.Sharkey Go

New York, May 1: tP-Jack De- laney's 73 second knockout defeat by tAo Boston sailor. Jack Sharkey. Is to undergo thorough scrutiny by the New York State Athletic Commission.
 Widespread rumors that the fight was not on the "level" and that Delaney had not properly trained, have led the boxing fathers to start an investigation that will bring drastic action" should any evidence of wrong-doing bs un- covered.
 Managers os the two boxers and other authorities scoffed at the per sistent reports that the bout was not 'on the up and up."
 James A. Farley. chairman of the commission. revealed yesterday that before the fighters were called into the ring at Madison Square Garden Monday night he had in- structed Lou Magnolia. the referee 10 inform Sharkey and Delaney they would be thrown out Of the ring fl there was anything wrong with their actions.
 "All I heard before the fight" said Farley. "were the same rumors that lot of other people heard. ] instructed Magnolia when he called the fighters to the center of the ring to tell them what I had heard
 T told him to say that if there was anything wrong with their actions, both would be thrown out of the ring. I haven't seen Mag nolia since the fight. I assume he obeyed orders"
 Joe Jacobs, manager of Delaney and Johnny Buckley. Sharkey S pilot. ridiculed the reports.
 Delaney was at ITS pounds. his best fighting weight, and in as good condition as hs has ever been," said Jacobs. He was simply hit on the chin as any other fighter might me '
 Tt seems to mo that the only thing wrong with the bout" said Buckley. twas that Sharkey fought as he is capable of fighting. and Delaney was knocked out. I think it Is silly 10 say the fight was no, waged on It's merits. I know sc far as Sharkey and myself are con. cerned. everything was strictly or the level"
 Promoter Tex Rickard could sec nothing wrong with the bout.
 "1f there was anything wrong with it, said Tex. then I know nothing about boxing. failed tc see anything wrong. Rather ] saw Sharkey In one Of his greatest ex- hibitions of fighting ability and ring fury"

Speaking of Sports

It l. . strange thing how sports writers and others bury q fighter just as soon as he is knocked out. Take the case of Jack Delaney who failed 10 get out of the way of Jack Sharkey's heavy punches in the first round of their fight Monday night. Right now. saddened farewells arc being given the Chevalier and a retrospect on what a good snowman he was in being held.
 We can't understand why it is that 90 many figure that fighter is all done as soon as he had a knockout scored against him. Many of the greatest fighters in history have been knocked out only to come back and win laurel after laurel in the ring.
 Delaney Is done as a legitimate heavyweight, there can or should be no question of that. but he left the light heavyweight division while he was champion and we believe that he can cut wide path through this division if he returns to it. No man can give away the poundage that he has been conceding and still come through.

Close observers of the former featherWeight champion think that the indomitable fire which used to carry him through to victory. has burned low. His work against DaN who is far. far away from the cham- pionship class, should give some idea of whether the "Kid' will be able to continue his drive towards the lightweight championship Of the world.
 The opposition of the members of the park board to hard baseball be- ing played on Diamond No. 2 at Walnut Hill park may be well founded in fact, but 1t certainly will not settle well with baseball fans in the city.
 Baseball was played at Walnut Hill park long before the tennis courts were built, and although there is danger of tennis players getting injured by balls batted into the courts during a game, the sug- gestion of Mayor Paonesa that q high wire be erected should take care of this difficulty.
 New Britain at the present time has a serious shortage of baseball diamonds large enough for games. Baseball k baseball only when 1t is played with the hard ball The soft ball furnishes fun for a great many but this game cannot take the place Of the hard ballA
 At the present time this city. with . population of we'll over 10000 peo- pie. known through the indoor sea- son as one of the greatest sporting towns in the state, has only four municipality owned baseball dia- nonds. two at Walnut Hill park and the other two at Willow Brook park.
 The decline of base ball and the re- sultant interest of the fans in the game h attributed in a great mea. sure 10 the fact that there are not sufficient number Of diamonds in the city.
 Take away Diamond No. : at Wal. nut Hill park and the city will have the magnificent number of three baseball diamonds We absolutely protest any curtailing of the facili- ties for baseball in the city because right now these same facilities are altogether too inadequate. Shoald the park board, and the views Of the members are right without question. wish to take away one diamond. then another should be provided.
 The scramble of teams eva0y sum- mer for permits for diamondS for practice and for games proves the contention that there aren't enough diamonds in the city at the present time and there probably won't be sny more for some time to come.

The New York commission is Eo- ing to investigate the fight because of rumors that 1t was in the bag" and also that Delaney had not properly trained for the encounter. We have no knowledge of the lin the bag charges but as to the improper training claimed against Delaney, this. if true, would be nothing new.
 Delaney apparently is one fighter who could not stand to be at the heights without falling into evil ways. So many reports have come out Of Bridgeport about his drinking bouts and his carelessness in train- ing, that 1t has become a common by~word that he was slated for the bottom rung of the pugilistic ladder
 Pete Reilley, his former manager. was apparently the only brake on Delaney when he went on & ram- page. Reilley some time ago sold his interests in the fighter and 1t ap- pears that his new handlers cannot subdue the will to dissipate that seizes him every once in while.
 Louis tkid) Kaplan and Georgie Day meet in New Haven on May s. To us this bout would be a mo match" affair If kaplan were the kaplan of old. As it is now, with Kaplan going under every so often from physical infirmities, his con- dition and ability are both rrobleratical. kaplan has had con- siderably more than 200 fights in his career and these must have exacted heavy toll in stamina and energy.
