    JACK DELANEY'S RIGHT CROSS
PULLS OWNER FROM OBSCURITY
TO BRIGHT LIGHTS OF STARDOM
Bridgeport Middleweight Be
gins Cashing, in on His
Knockout of Berlen
bach Tonight.
By DAVIS J. WALSH.
KW TORK, March
17.—By tha grace
of chance and a
right croae that
landed flueh on
the Jaw, Jack De
laney, legitimate
middleweight, has
.arrived overnight
from the obscu
rity of the agate
■ line to the fame
of bold face caps.
Jack supplied the
light cross, hut
he was fortune’s
plaything as far
as chance was
concerned.
Last week lie
was a in his 'own home
town, Bridgeport, Conn. Today the
boys on Broadway, N'yawak; Pow
ell street, San lYanciseo; State
street, Chicago; in Davis street,
Denver, and on Spring street, Los
Angeles, are mouthing his name
with a knowing air and claiming an
intimate acquaintance. The right
cross did that.
It found a apot on Paul Berlen
bach'a chin and that much advertised
young man was knocked clear out of
bis shoes. Delaney has stepped into
them. He will meet Jackie Clark In
Newark tonight in place of the cele
brated Berlenbach, who lost the con
tract when he lost the Delaney en
counter. Enter chance. But for that
capricious factor Delaney would still
be playing the email time and getting
the small money. A bit more than a
week ago he was all but signed to
meet one Harry Estridge at the Com
monwealth club here on Saturday
last. The bout was to follow the
Johnny Dundee-Pat Moran affair at
the garden and meant absolutely noth
ing, least of all to Delaney, who would
have done well to get $1,000 for his
efforts. Moran, however, injured his
band in training and Tex Rickard de
cided to replace his attraction with
a Berlenbach bout.
Two men were selected as pos
sible opponents, namely, Augie Kat
ner, a harmless veteran, and Dela
ney. The latter immediately dropped
all thought of Estridge and fate
conspired that he should he chosen
to face the knockout king. The
rest Is history.
It was history that might have
been written months later and in a
radically different vein. Had Dela
ney caught Berlenbach as late as six
months from now it is not inconceiv
able that the outcome of the meet
ing might have been reversed.
Davis Cup Match
Drawings Made
Washington. March IT.—The 1924
bavin cup draw was made today at
the White House with 23 nations en
tered for the contest for the interna
tional team tennis championship.
President Coolldge drew the first
name and tho ambassadors and minis
ters of the respective entry nations
drew for their owA countries.
The entrants were divided into two
zones. Seventeen nations entered and
will play in the European zone, and
six in the American zone.
Because of tho odd number of en
trants in the European zone play, the
draw required seven byes in the up
per half, and eight in the lower, leav
ing but two nations to play a first
round match.
Under this draw Ireland and France
will meet In the first bye: Holland and
India in the second; South Africa and
Argentina in the third, and Spain
w ill play tli# winner of the first round
matches between the British Isles
and Belgium.
In the lower half of the European
draw, Denmark plays Hungary; Italy
meets Rumania: Austria is paired
with Switzerland, and New Zealand
crosses racquets with Czecho-Slovakia.
In tho American zone. Cuba was
drawn against Canada, and Australia
faces China in the first round. Japan
drew a bye in the upper half, and
will play the winner of the Cuba
Canada match. Mexico drew the
lower half bye and meets the winner
of the Australia-China contest.
President Coolidge drawing the first
name, withdrew the envelope contain
ing tho name of Ireland much to the
amusement of those gathered for the
ceremony who immediately recalled
that today was St, Patrick day.
The winner of the play In the Euro
pean zone and the victor in the Amer
ican zone will meet September 4. 6
and 6. according to tentative arrange
ments with the meeting place yet to
be decided. The winner of this match,

SALUTK the greatest "comeback"
in athletic history—Abel Klviat.
No athlete the writer knows of
has ever quit athletics for seven
years and then returned to win
again.
Abel Klviat, national mile cham
pion of 1914, has done that.
Kiviat at 31 came back and won
a national title recently.
He put one over on Father Time,
who is not used to that sort of thing.
More recently still Kiviat took third
In the 1,000-yard senior Indoor cham
pionship in New York, defeating such
formidable youngsters as Uoyd Hahn
and Kay linker, two close rivals of
the great dole Kay.
As we say. the thing isn't being
done overmuch. Ted Meredith was out
of athletics about four years and
could only establish a "partial come
back.” After abandoning his track
career in 1915 the |>eerless Ted felt
the urge to become a member of the
Olympic team to Antwerp.
Ted qualified in the tryouts with
out winning and was defeated at Ant
werp in the 400 meters arter winning
his heat.
No one ever "comes back" in the
ring after a protracted lay-off. Jef
fries was out six years when he went
up against Jack Johnson. He found
himself but a shell of the ancient Jef
fries.
Jess Willard was away from the
ting but four years when he met
Dempsey. But the first Iron left that
Jack landed knocked Jess dizzy. His
old powers of resistance had been
broken. Willard achieved something
unusual when at 40 or thereabout**,
and with another four-year lay-off
weighting him, he knocked out the
youthful Floyd Johnson.
There are some scattered instances
of ball players “coming back" after
a short lay-off, but there is sone of
the seven year variety on the books.
The ”oome-bac•k,, in any line of
sport is as rare a specimen as the
dodo. %
The “comeback” after a seven
year lay off is practically unheard of.
Prepares to Hold
Harrier Event
Omaha high school track and swim
ming coaches decided at a meeting
held at the city hall yesterday after
noon to add crosscountry running to
the Interschool sports.
Cross-country has long been a fav
orite event In colleges and universi
ties, but few high schools have taken
up this branch of track.
The date for the big race has been
set for April 15. The course was not
decided at the meeting, hut the se
lection was left up to Director Jones.
The distance will be from one mile
tnd a half to two miles. Kach entry
will score. First man to finish will
icceive 200 points; second. 199; third,
U)S, and so on down the line, the last
man scoring two points.
There will be gold, silver and bronze
medals for the first three men, while
Lhe school having the most points will
lie accorded the city championship.
The city swimming meet, originally
pet for March 28, has been set ahead
to March 27. The big swim will be
pinged at the Technical High pool.
Long School Cagers, City Grade
Champs, Body of Record Breakers
Long gl ade school cagers, who won
the championship of The Omaha Bee
grade school tournament, are a rec
ord breaking aggregation of goal tos
seis.
Their first record Is the chalking
up of 277 points to opponents 28 In
seven games played. A 72 to 0 score
piled up against Webster graders Is
a new record for high scoring in one
game. Captain Ware set a new scor
ing record with 133 markers, while
the winning of the 1924 champion
ship gives the Long machine their
, third straight city cage title, an
other record.
The 1924 quintet was superior to
all previous squads turned out at the
Long Institution.
The aggregation which chalked up
their third city grade school cham
pionship was composed of a flock of
lanky dark skinned boys whose abil
ity to find the netted hoop was un
canny.
They combined a smoothly working
passing offensive with an impreg
liable fiv'c-man defense, while their
captain, Ware, was the outstanding
grade school basketeer in action this
season.
Play for Hockey Title.
Montreal. March 17.—The Cana
dian*, champion* of the National
Hockey league, and the Vancouver*,
who. won the I'acldc Coast league
title, will meet here Tuesday and
Thursday night* in the opening round
of the annual tournament for the
Stanley cup.

Jack Dempsey Ready to Defend
His Crown at Word of Jack Kearns
_>
I, T LAKE CITY,
— .Jack Dempsey,
UTAH, March 17.
world heavyweight
boxing champion,
stands ready to
defend his crown
at the word from
Ills noiuagrr, Jack
Kearns.
The rliamp made
this announce
inent upon his ar
rival here last
night from Itutte,
Mont., in company
with his aeere
tary, Teddy llayes, and his trainer,
Jimmy I.udavi*.
Dempsey declared he is willing to
meet the winner of the Flrpo-Wills
bout, provided this latter match is
staged during the summer. He said
he would not enter the ring again un
til September at the earliest.
Dempsey was entertained at a ban
quet In Butte.
"Shelby and Montana In general
ere anxious to take another whirl at
the game,” Dempsey said. "They be
lieve another effort would be suc
cessful, and they were sincere in their
statements. They may be given con
sideration before the next title bout
Is scheduled.” *
All hope for a battle with Tommy
Gibbons is off, at least foFthia year,
the champion announced.
Dempsey expressed regret for Erm
inio Spalla, who recently stayed 14
rounds with Flrpo, and said he stands
ready to meet the European boxer if
the promoters will make an attract
ive offer.
Dempsey will leave next week for
Eos Angeles where he will immedi
ately begin work on a moving pic
ture. Ho plans to make this trip by
automobile from here.
Decision of Molla Mallory to Play
for Norway in Olympics Not Popular
By VINCENT RICHARDS,
National Indeer Tennis Champion.
Jacksonville, Fla, March 17.—The
decision of Molla Bjurstedt Mallory,
the former tennis champion of the
United States, to represent Norway
in the coming Olympics at Paris, will
not add to her prestige In America.
Her recent decision to play for the
land of her birth is still subject to
the approval of the French Olympic
committee, but there Is little doubt
about their consenting to it.
I'pon learning that Molla was
barred from competing In these games
as a representative of the United
Slates, the Norwegian J,awn Tennis
association Invited her to join the
team representing that country in
these contests. Apparently she has ac
cepted the offer and will be one of
the three women picked to uphold
Norway'* tennis honors In the Olym
pic series. It Is understood, however,
that the former national singles cham
pion will pay all her own expenses to
these contests, as the funds are not
of sufficient amount in the coffers
of the Norwegian Uwn Tennis as
sociation to stand for her traveling ex
penses from America to Norway.
Followers of the game throughout
the country are at a loss to know
why "Marvellous Molla” has forsak
en her adopted country which she
has heen playing for in various in
ternational! matches for practically
in years. Surely she did not feel the
need of competition In the Olympic
games for she will undoubtedly be
called upon to undergo the most ar
duous campaign of her entlrs career
during thfc coming summer.

Grinnell to Hold
Bi<£ Track Meet
Bjr I’rfM.
Grinnell. la., March 17.—The twelfth
annual Grinell interscholastie track
and field meet which will be held at
Grinnell college May 10. will be the
largest in the history of the school,
athletic authorities here stated In an
nouncing the date of the meet today.
At the meet last year high schools
from all ports of the state icartici
pated but the invitation list will be
broadened this year to include a num
her of important high schools outside
the state.
East Dos Moines has won the meet
each year for the past three years
but under increasing competition from
other schools.
Marshalltown. Iowa City. East Des
Moines. Davenport. Ames, Colfax and
Winterset were represented by strong
teams last year and all of these are
expected to furnish keen competition
at the meet In May.
A golf meet and a tennis meet will
Ice held In conjunction with the track
meet. After the strong competition
last year in both these events, in
creasing inapiost is being manifested
In this phase of the inteVseholastic
tourney,
JOHN DENNISON has one to tell
about Ira Jones, recreation di
rector. The Incident happened
about two years ago in a twilight
game which was being played be
tween the Naples Bunk and the South
Side Social settlement teams. The
game was Important as the result
had great bearing on the pennant
race.
About the seventh inning it started
tc get dark. One team wanted to call
the game while the other wanted to
continue, nnd as a result an argu
ment alarled. The players of both
teams surged out on the field.
Jones started for the center of the
field and hBd traveled as far as the
pitcher's box when the strong right
hand of City Detective Murphy
grabbed the recreation director. The
officer asked Jones what right he had
i n the field. As the offieer and Jones
were not acquainted with each other
it was neessary for the playground
supervisor to show his authority to
the officer, and then with the the
assistance of the groundkeeper the
two hlg fellows succeeded In clearing
the field.
In remarking about the Incident a
little later. Jones, who Is well over
six feel, said, "I thought I wss big
hut when that 'hint’ stepped along
side of me I thought t was standing
along side of a human mountain.”

fer up their sacrifice* were put to
rout.
The Gassers had made ail prepara
tion* for their offerings. They had
trounced the Buffaloes Saturday by a
score of « to I and Sunday looked
bright to them, but alas, the Buffa
loes stampeded. They turned bark
the Gassers 6 to 0. Hence the sorrow
and bowed heads in Gassersv ille.
Foreman and Bailey, the left-hand
ers, served up portside flinging un
til the fourth before a run was made,
and then it was' at the expense of
Foreman. He walked the first batter,
Manager Griggs, and then I>enalian
singled. Phelps bunted a slow roller
to the hurling hill but Foreman's
throw pulled Zeider off third base
apd Griggs was safe and the bases
were loaded. Daahiel, Barnes and
Riley pulled off a neat double play
on Wilder's roller to short but
Griggs crossed the pan for a tally.
Foreman got into a hole when la
Vaille singled and Brown doubled in
the fifth after one was out. but
fanned Robinson. Acting under or
ders, Foreman gave Griggs four
wide ones and Phelps was retired on
an infield roller. That ended Fore
man for the day. Harris got over
the sixth inning all right but stepped
into trouble in the seventh and *_
eighth stanzas.
