Speaking of Sports The Meriden Endees beat the At- las of New Haven in Meriden last night by a 23 to 22 score in one of the flercest court battles witnessed in the Silver City in some time. try by Hafner in the final minute de- cided the outceme. The Jack Delaney-Jim Maloney bout which takes place in New York on Friday, February 18, is the center of interest for boxing fans about the country today., This fight will bring together two of the fastest heavy- weights in the game today and al- though Bridgeport Jack is the fav- orite in the betting on the outcome, many are inclined to the belief that Maloney will beat Delaney. Maloney came into prominence atter knocking out Arthur. De Kuh! and then beating Frans Diener and Harry Persson. Formerly he was rated as a good fighter for a few rounds but not much after that. Now he has shown that he can spread his strength very nicely over the round route. Maloney has a terrific punch in \either hand and his backers are de- pending on this punching ability to bring Maloney to a victory over the light heavyweight champion. De- laney’s title will not be at Stake as the fighters will enter welghts. In meeting Delaney, however, Ma- loney will face the hardest hitter he has yet met. ving and he has a terrific knockout punch that set Bud Gorman goofy in short order. Delaney is reported to be in per- fect shape for the coming battle. He is training at his quarters in Bridge- port every day with Ray Neuman |z and Jack Warren, the negro heavy- weight. Today he starts in to in- crease his daily dlet of exercise and will probably enter the ring about: 175 pounds. Maloney is spending most of his time in trying to perfect a defense against a right to the jaw. This is Delaney’s most potent weapon though Jack can send them to sleep with a blow to the solar plexus just an easily as he does when he hits on | ¢ the jaw. With Delaney past Maloney in the heavyweight championship conten- der elimination tournament, there doesn't seem to be much in the way for a meeting between Delaney and Tunney except Tunney's attitude that Delaney should get a reputa- tion first before he gets a chance at the heavyweight title. Harry Ginsburg, the newly elected basketball official, wishes to an- nouncd that the Fordham basketball team won another game last night beating Rutgers 31 to 20, The I"ordham team lost two games I:m} week but the quintet was evidently off form. With five basketball officials in New Britaln and a sixth, Billy Du- dack who i3 coaching at George- town, also a local boy, this city should develop more good officials. The five are Leonard Nixon, who is secretary of the Connecticut Central Board of Approved Bapketball Of- ficlals, Nathan Avery, berg and George Cassidy. are coaclies Ginsburg and Ca: the former of the team in the Industri the latter of the High school ath- letic teams in general, have a complete knowledge of the game, “Red” McCormick of Hartford, basketball official who is a partic- ular friend of Tim Cronin and his family, has asked permission to of- | ficiate at one of {he games on the right of the benefit basketball carnt- val for Cronin in this city. He ap- proached Dick Dillon on the mat- ter and Dick asked Manager Lanpher 'of the National Guards. Dillon was agreeable to have him officlate at the game and his serv- ices have been accepted. Tt seems that everyonme is trying to do his hit towards making the henefit in this city a complete success. The Mohawk A. €. has been forced to lay off this week on amateur box tournaments hecause a federal. in- spection 13 heing made of the state armory. There will be no show to- morrow night but the tournament will be resumed a week from tg- morrow night. Tonight In Hartford the entire Canadian team of champlons is scheduled to fight in Hartford at the tournament of the Massasoit A. C. In Foot Guard hall. A large crowd of New Britain fans is plan- ning to attend and to these we say, et there carly because every week st least 600 people have been turned away because the capacity of the hall had been more than filled. Display Body ofh Priest Dead 200 Years Bucharest, Rumania, Feb, 10 (f— A glass casket to display the well- preserved body of a priest dead two hundred years has been ordered by the peasants of the Ciuc district., They look upon the prescrvation of the body, around which six wooden coffing have crumbled, as a miracle, Doctors have tried to explain to the peasants why the body is in good condition, but they prefer to accept the theory of the supernatural. To pay for the expensive glass cas- ket an admission fee is to be charged of those viewing the body.

Whether the Chilean president, Emilio Figueroa-Larrain, will re- | main in office was a matter of | doubt this morning, the executive not having made a definite an- nouncement of his intentions. Gen- eral Ibanez, war minister in the cab- inet that resigned yesterday, and who was responsible for the resigna- tion of the cabinet last November, has urged the president to remain in office, and similar advice has been glven by the heads of the sen- ate and chamber. Should the pres- ident decide to resign a peculiar governmental situation will be brought about. There 1s no vice- president in Chile; if the presidency is vacated, therefore, the chiet of cabinet automatically assumes the title of vice-president and takes over the full duties of chief executive. The statement of General Ibanez which brought about the resignation of the ministry contains the charge that the spread ot bolshevism, facilitated by a weak government, had carried the country to “deplor- able extremes”” He amplified this by remarking: “Moscow’s Influence in Chile must be broken, and the way to do it is to reorganize the government by the injection of | vounger blood.” When he agreed to form a new administration he emphasized that he would seek to | settle the bolshevik problem in Chile once for all The new ministr; sworn in last night Premier and minis —General Carlos Ibanez.
