 Someone the other night asked
 Eddie Delaney how it felt to win the
 cellar championship. The fellow
 who made that remark is still in the
 dark about handball in general
 They say that Francis Sheehan who
 has been following the fortunes Of
 his pal Eddie Delaney in the recent
 tournament does not think much of
 the latters ability in the good old
 Irish game, has decided 10 team 1p
 with Jimmy Lynch of the Gas Co,
 and enter the annual open doubles
 landball classic.
 1t seems that both Eddie and
 Francis had an agreement of some
 sort, that if Eddie made a good
 showing in the l0l tournament
 Francis would consider inviting Ed
 die to team up with him in the op Hn
 tournament, which is considered the
 most important Of the year. Eddie
 proved so good that Francis an1
 Jimmy will be seen in action in the
 near future.
