The first ga [ was a walk ¢ for the Buicks who |won the mateh 15 to 7 out-placing and spiking the Fords at every angle of the game. The Fords somchow could not started owing to the fact that everybody on, the teamn wanted to be captain. However the Fords in the second game put on speed and sailed right away from the Buicks giving them |a taste of their own medicine win- | ning 15 | The ime was filled with ac- tion, the Buicks taking the lead and holding it until the score stood 14 to 10 in their favor. Not only did they fight hard physically to win the deciding match but there were ver | combats as well. Every man“on hoth | teams attempted to referee, ana ! score at the same time. There were | many questionable decisions that | Henry Dres efficiently handled, | but the players did not think so un- til Henry declared “I am the referec and what I do or do not see matters not, so long as I blow the whistle.” | | The third game went to a tie, at 14 | 11, under the well placed shots of | | Van Oppen of the Fords. Then the | [Eatinsran up the necessary pmn'sl Ito win 15 to 14. | | The question as to the outstanding layer of the match between the | uicks and the Fords was handed to ‘ captain of the Fords who un- questionably played every positio \hm his own.

Jack Delaney's conqueror is one young man (he is only 23) for whom domestic duties and the boxing bus- iness are not incompatible. The only indication of “dynamite” in big Jim's make-up when a reporter call- ed at his home was the industrious manner in which South Boston's pride was applying a vacuum clean- er to a parlor carpet. Apparently a bit abashed at being surprised while in the midst of so cffeminate a task, the 200-pound-plus heavyweight hopeful explained: “I know you will excuse me. I have just been tidylng up a bit. It may sound funny for a boxer, but I actually enjoy housework.” In his fastidiously-furnished living room, Maloney flopped upon an over- stuffed divan and, without so much s a split infinitive, began to talk in the carefully-chosen language of the Tunney school of pugilism. ou probably want to know what I do when I am not in the ring,” suggested Big Jim, who has been interviewed before. “Well, 1 | enjoy hunting. T like roughing it in the woods of Maine and New Hamp- shire, and hunting provides the ex- cuse for doing so. “Once I tried to be highbrow and | learn to play golf. I didn't make out very well and I do not enjoy the game. When I was in the arm$ 1 played football. T still like football. “T'll be perfectly frank, however, next to boxing I like housework hest. I enjoy puttering around the house, washing dishes, sweeping floors and picking up after the children.” Jim pointed with pride to his two children—Clair, who will be three in June, and Ruth, who will celebrate her first birthday next month. Bash- ful, Clair did not enter the conver- sation except on one occasion, This was to point to her father's very much discolored right eye and mark: “See what Jack Delancy did to my daddy.” She seemed more than proud of her papa’s souvenir of last Friday's battle in Madison Square Garden. “My family thinks that I am some fighter,” laughed Maloney. “You can't tell them that the next heavy. weight champion won't be Jim Ma- loney. Personally, I do not think they will be disappointed. I think I will be obliged to participate in only two more bouts—with Jack Sharkey and Jack Dempsey—hefore |1 have an opportunity to meet Gene Tunney. “I already have disposed of the German, Itallan and Swedish cham- pions, and also the world's light heavyweight champion, and I think I have convinced most people that I am ‘there.’ “I shall be glad to fight it out with anyone who questions my right to a chance at the championship.” Jim Maloney has climbed the lad- der to fistic fame almost as rapidly as did Paul Berlenbach, erstwhile Astoria assassin.
