Sullivan had appeared -on the pugilistic horizon. A new Boston “strong boy” burly Jimmy Maloney, gai absolute right to share the title with his noted predecessor by hammering to defeat Jack Delaney, light heavyw king, In ten thrill-crammed ro last night before the fargest thrc that ever jammed Mad Garden. And with Maloney's deci, tory, clean-cut in every respect, came realization to the 185,184 that a “good big man ca good little man” every t -—a decisive margin of and a merciless attack knew a backward step brought de- feat to the spec Y. From the opening gong the Bos- ton giant threw his tremendous bulk onto his 172 pound rival, Two mas- stve arms drove gruelling smashes through the best guard the Bridge- port, Conn., “rapier” could while a flinty jaw and bulgi muscled body absorbed the mi shots of Delaney's crashin broadsides. The result inevitable and conclusive, with the majority of ringsido critics awarding Maloney six rounds by decisive margins, laney two by a shade and two even There were no knockdo though Delaney’s vaunted right hand smash and uppercut landed and true on Maloney's jaw time and again, the Boston basher was too big, too strong, and too seeped reserve power to be forced to more than shake his shagey head like an irritated grizzly and crash forward for more. The result, a startling upset in view of the 13 to 5 odds on De- laney at gon gtime sent a host of Boston supporters, their pockets crammed with money, back on the midnight train to the city Malon followers would like to give him. Boston had backed its warrior to the limit and many were the remarks anent “wise” New York money. Out of the Delaney debacle ever, came word that the sp: French-Canadian had ag during the third round an thumb injury, suffered in the match with Paul Berlenbach. Al- though the thumb was badly swol- len, it was not definitely establishe that the bone was broken. Other- wise the total visible injuries con- sisted of a black eye for Maloney and cut lips for Delaney. The rise of Maloney in the heavy. welght division had been spasmod up to last night. In his 31 ring con- tests he has scored 15 knockouts and won 13 decisions. Maloney has been knocked out but once, and that time by Leo Gates, the Indian, in four rounds in 1924, After winning from another Boston favorite, Jack Sharkey, in ten rounds in 1924, M: loney lost to his fecllow town: twice in the following year—once decision and 2g: ney's most impressive victories dur- ing 1926 were decisions over Iranz Diener, of Germany, and Har | Persson, Swedish champion, and a two-round knockout of Arthur De Knh, promising Italian.

Kaer was forced to allow his efforts in track to lag while he was gaining greater fame as a halfback. Now young Kaer is eager to surpass his efforts in football by greater performances in his first love, track. When Kaer entered Southern California in 1923, he showed the makings of a four-letter man. He pitched on the baseball team, was considered a great track man, or! his way from the fourth frosh eleven to the first, and played basketball & During the track season of 1924, man year, he turned in creditable so many erent events that he was entered the Olympic, t He copped in the pentat event in the trials, went to Paris, and had the Jistinction of being the only col- ogian to place. H All of this, mind you, despite the fact that he started off his per- formances with a tooth so badly ulcerated that his jaw was swollen almost to the point of breaking the skin! He finished sixth, having placed first in the 220-meter race, second in the javelin and third in the broad jump. Kaer -made the football team at| Southern California the next year.

The card will be conducted under the auspices of the National Athletic club of which ward Lavrow is the matchmaker. Mr. Lavrow who is now in New York, has arranged a complete card for the night featuring the best men in the ranks of the heavyweight wrestlers in the country today. Zbyszko will have as his opponent Arthur Boganz, noted German wrestler who holds a number of European titles. Boganz and Zbysz- | 1 forms ko are leading contenders for the heavyweight wrestling title which is now being clalmed by Ed (Strang-| er) Lewis ang Joe Stecher and al- though the title will not be in question in the match in this city, the man who wins will have first claim for a match with either or both of the title claimants. Zbyszko needs no introduction to followers of wrestling. Stanislaus, the older man who Is a world-fam- ous figure in sports, appeared here ast year in a show conducted by the National A.

According to advance information, the Holyoke team stands a good chance of turning back the Guards on their home ficor. The team an experienced road team and has been winning the bulk of its games on the road. A short time ago, tho team lost to the Iferiden Endees in a torrid battle by a couple of points and the Guards aro in for a tough session tomorrow night. Critics believe that Wladek Zbyszko is a greater wrestler than Stanislaus and among those who know, he is favored to liminate the German in their match Wednesday night. Two other bouts featuring stars of the mat game have been signed by Mr. Lavrow. The semi-final will find Glovanni Sto.ca, Italian cham- pion, and Alex Aberg, giant Russian pitted against each other. These two have victories over some of the leading matmen in the world today but have never been able to gain a decisive victory over each other. The opening match of the eve- ning will be between Tom Draak of Holland, and Frapk Bruno of New York. Bruno will be remembered s the matman who last year oppos- ed Carol Zbyszko here and was on his way to victory when he recefy- ed a bad cut over his eye which forced him to retire. | This will be the first of a serles of wrestling shows which will be held in this city wnder the auspices of the National A. C. The card next Wednesday night is the forerunner of the quality of bouts that will be | conducted here in the near future.| Wednesday night's show will prob- ably be the only one to be held at Turner hall as this was the only place available at this time.
