With the Sports Editor By DENMAN THOMPSON OME of those closest in touch with things fistic harbor i the idea that M.

Delaney's recent disposal of Sully Montgomery in less than the average time it takes to make one of those trick cigarette lighters work, coming right on the heels of the Sharkey-Heeney fiasco has induced a revised estimate of the capabilities of Canada’s gift to Bridgeport. Against the gigantic Montgomery who towered inches above him and exceeded him in displacement by a matter of some 35 pounds, Delaney appeared for but a brief 20 seconds. One right to the button—and it was all over. A battler who can wallop that way deserves respectful consideration in any com- pany, and Delaney now is getting it, despite the in and out | aspects of his previous career. For those inclined to elevate an eyebrow over Delaney's chances to achieve the peak because of his low poundage it is pointd out that the 1802; pounds at which he went into the ring against Montzomery Monday was more than Corbett weighed when he licked Sullivan for the title and was within both at the university and in the city good fortune in receiving th- T which caused to sign with the | University of Pennsvlvania.

Leibold, who is scheduled to take over the reins of the Columbus club, gave indications of fitness for leadership by being included in the board of strategy headed by Manager Harris which landed Washington its first pennant.

Prothro's qualifications for leadership are not so well es- tablished.

Dak. middlweight, knocked out Monday night. Every one thought it was “Kid"” Cul- bertson of St. Paul. It was so pro- grammed. and a receipt signed “Eddie Culbertson” was given to the promoter in return for the loser's share of the purse. It has developed. however, that Cul- bertson was at home the night of the fight, and consequently not in a prone position in a Sioux City ring. Walt Pritchard, the promoter, said | he thought he was dealing with Cul- | bertson, but added that he never had seen the St. Paud scrapper, and so may | have been mistaken.
