EW YORK, December 22.— Jimmy Maloney of Boston takes his third step on the heavyweight elimination lad- der tonight at Madison Square Garden. Whether he mounts. the rung or goes tumbling down in Tex Rickard's series for selection of an outstanding cha lenger depends on the outcome ot a 10-round battle with Harry Persson of Sweden. In two previous heavyweight en- counters here, Maloney displayed enough skill and punching power to make him a two-to-one favorite to- night. He stopped Arthur Dekuh of New York in the first match, requir- ing only two rounds for his triumph. In the second, he decisively- outpointed the German _contender, Franz Diener. Although Persson’s stock took a fall last week as the result of an unex- pected defeat at the hands of Pat Mc- Carthy of Boston, the European con- a ile om 5 ce th rd 0. ce to WHALE of a contest is due to- morrow night when the In- terior Department League con- Quets its matches on the Con- vention Hall drives. Land Office will meet Survey No. 1, while Secretary will have as its opponent Survey No. 2. Servey No. 1, needs but one game to clinch the first series. Land, in second place by only a game probably will have to battle strenuous. ly to retain its position, while Secre- tary in third place will be shooting for an advance. In other matches, Pension will meet Indian No. 2, and Parks will encounter Indian No. There will be plenty of candy and ice cream given away at the Arcadia and Convention Hall bowling alleys Christmas day. Every hour from 10 am. to midnight, there will be a pound of candy for women bowlers and a gallon of ice cream for men bowlars at stake at each drive, the prizes to go to the high scorers. And the ice cream will be delivered to the winners' homes. ut ith he nd re he all bh ife ne. a Beeques now are sailing along in «front of the other clubs in the Washington Ladies' League as a re sult of ame sweep over the Hilltoppers _while the Columbi were being licked three times by the Nationals.

Tex Rickard’s rival in the promotion field, Humbert Fugazy, his announced that Maloney would be pitted against ack Delaney, world's light heavy- weight champion, if he succeeds in outfighting Persson tonight. Observers expect the 10-round ‘semi- final to provide Monte Munn’s crucial test as a_potential heavyweight con- tender, Knute Hansen will engage the biz Nebraskan in a match be- tween free hitters which holds strong possibility of knockout. Munn rules a two-to-one favorite. Preceding this encounter, Otto von Porat of Norway, former Olympic champion, will engage Martin Burke of New Orleans in a third 10-rounder.

This | nade both ends eligible for the p: on the same side. AS no team t vear had used anything but the sim- plest sort o ses against Penn as Warner sprang this play fe first time, [ this variation caught the Penn players off their guard and there was no one to cover the extra end. Psychology Is Considered. I went over the Indians’ play very carefully and made up my.mind we would have to stop the first two or three passes cold or be in for a busy >fternoon. It had been our experience that the Indlans were a bit tempers mental. They were either v or very poor. if their first went they played like champions, but if they were thrown for a loss at the start they got discouraged. I worked up a defense that T thought would stop the passes by shifting both | our wing back on the same side as the Indians’ ends. 1 instructed our tackle to guard the back jumping into the line. In the Penn game the In dians threw to the ends the first three or four times, so all week we concen- trated on guarding these end: We decided to make every effort to get the jump on the Indians by pull ing an unexpected play on them. It was agreed if we won the toss we would receive the kick-off. Then Dillon was to give Harlan's signal for a_run. ning kick. This was a_very difficult play to stop. It started like a wide end run. Harlan always made a good fake and usually got off a well placed kick well down the field. T felt if_this play worked and we got the ball down field our chances of winning were very good.
