1 Speaking of Sportsi Rubenstein, star forward on the National Guard basketball team, suf- fered a bad sprain to his right ankle Saturday night in the game with the Atlas A. C. team of New Haven. He suffered a broken ankle while play- ing with Syracuse university but this was the left one. It is not known Jjust yet how long he will be out of the lineup with the injured member. The betting in New York on the outcome of the Jack Delaney-Jim Maloney fight at Madison Square (Garden, which has been 8 to 5 in favor of Delaney, was reduced to 7 to 6 Saturday and today is down to 6 to 5. There is plenty of Boston money to back Maloney and it is thought that when the night of the fight approached the betting will be even. Maloney figures that his 25 pounds’ handicap wheih he will have over Delaney, will make him the harder puncher and will give him the battle. Delaney figures that he can beat Ma- loney to the punch and nillity this weight advantage. Whatever way the hattle goes or the decision is ren- dered, it will be a great fight. The Mohawks of Holyoke will be the opponents of the National Guards at the state armory in this clty Saturday night of this week. The Massachusetts team is one of the best in this section and the Guards will have a tough tussle to wip. Manager Clarence Lanpher of the National Guards received a telegram today from the Washington Palace Five, cancelling the game in this city on February 26. The reason for this movement was that the Balti- more team has a league game sched- uled for that night. The team will play here on March 17 instead of February 26. Manager Lanpher is negotiating with the Brownsville Big Five of Brooklyn, N. Y., for a game here on February 26 but hasn't had a de- finite answer from the management yet. Another attraction that the local manager is planning to bring to this city is the Harlem Colored Five of Harlem, N. Y. This team is on a par with the Celtics and all the lead- ing basgketball teams in the country and should prove a blue-ribbon at- traction in this city. There was a large crowd at the High school basketball game at the local gymnasium Saturday afterpoon. No admission was charged. Tho basketball feature of the sea- son will be played tomorrow night at the Newington Grange hall be- tween Nom Begley's Spring & Buck- ¢ five and a quintet from the Con- lectric Light & Power Co. No spectators will be admitted to tk this conditjon having been Vom Begley, The st police at the hall When the South church played in Wapping Saturday Osborne sat out the first half and picked a seat alongside of the fem- inine rooters of the upstate town. When the second half started the other five players created a ncar- riot in trying to have him take their place—and have them take his. Otto Barta won, but in the last quarter Héwie May quit his placq.at left guard for the more enviable one of right sheik. Contra the Gir y to the general opinion ¢ Industrial league games are being held under the auspices; of the Industrial Council of the Y. M. C. A. rathef than the Y. W. C. A. The latter association furnishes only the gymnasium apd the dressing room accommodations for which it will receive a coasideration. The plan of reviving the girls’ league originated with Bryce Long, the council secretary, who felt that the girlg are entitled to some recre- tion other than howling. The fans and the industrial con- cerns are working as a unit in co- operating with him on the project and so far the move b been a financial success far greater than the sccretary’s expectations. Revenue gained from the games will be used for a get-together ban- quet for the girls at the close of the season, Henry T.

EXCHANGE CLUB MEETING The New Britain Exchange club will meet at the Burritt hotel tomor- rw evening at 6 o'clock for its reg- lar weckly meeting. The speaker of the evening will be Postmastor H. E.

The New York boxing commission has decided to acquaint the hznt heavyweight titleholder with the regrlations of the commission zov- erring champions boxing out of their divisions. An edict that De- laney must weigh 175 pounds, the limit of his class, on the afternoon of the match “or there will be no fight" was on the person of Daniel H. Skilling, deputy of the commis- €ion, bound for the Delancy camp a: Bridgeport, Conn,, today. Skilling will report Delaney's present weight to the commission. While both battlers rested over Sunday in preparation for a Strenu- ous week with sparring partners, the weight advantage of Maloney figured prominently in discussions of the coming fray. Supporters of the Eoston Battler, who already have thirown close to $5600,000 into the wagering marts at quoted odds .f 5 to 6, are frank in the belief that Maloney’s 25 pound advantage will turn the tide in his favor. Maloney, a bruising slugger with both hands, has worked at his Long Branch, N. J, camp for the past week to perfect his short hooks to the body, they point out, thus fore- casting a forceful style of milling that will keep Delaney constantly on the defensive with litle chance to employ his crafty devastating at- tack. Delaney’s spced as a puncher, the ccuracy of his crushing right hand attack, and the general improvement in the light heavyweight champion's health, and strength in the past few months will offset Maloney's weight advantage, Delaney's backers be- ve. The skillful French-Ca has spent most of his time since conquering Paul Berlenbach in tramping through the New Hamp- shire hills and along the shores of Lake Winnepesaukee. very definite ideas on the Delaney, can hit. “They tell me Well, I can hit hard too. blows, doesn't it stand to reason I am the harder hitter,” he said at his training camp.
