M. C. A. Industrial league slate, will not be played, according to official inforrfation received by the Herald to Managers Jack Tobin and William Hickie got together and decided that ince the gamo would amount to thing more than a finish to the in- dividual scoring race, they called it off. It was Mr. Tobin's opinion that the playing of the game would caus ill fecling he Corbin Screw team ampionship of the lea n Cabinet Lock ‘~r-wund | their cond last gamo leit on between them, This game ordinarily would not be played but for the fact that the Screw Shop captain, Audy Yakubowitz, runner-up among the leading scorers might have a chance of overtaking Paul LaHar, leading scorer who had a 27-point margin. Had the game been played it was the Corbin Cabinet Lock players' in- tention to concentrate on holding Andy and prevent him from over- taking LaHar. It has been said that the five members of the Cabinet team | intended to “sew up” the Serew Shop player. won the gue and Cor- was definitely in t place when they games. Scoring Championship this action the scoring cham- pionship goes to Paul LaHar who ted the league through three-quar- ters of the season. Playing at right forward for the I'afnir team he di; played a brilliant offensive attack throughout the scason. He was the main cog in th nif basketball machine which finished in a third place tie. He scored a total of 1.’(2‘ points in 14 games, an average of | almost 10 points game, LaHar will be awarded the M. C. LeWitt statuette, representing a bas- ketball player. This award was an- nounced just previous to the last - of the season and a wild sle for LaHar's honor started | tely. Although Yakuhowitz, | who was in fourth place and who'| was playing In the first game of the ! nignt, passed LaHar and had a seven-point lead, LaHar came ba in the final game of tho night to put | ‘; the individual championship on| *ce.” | This is the first time since the league started that a player other than **Mick Luke won the indi- vidual honors. Luke wen it in his, first scason in the leaguc and in the ) past two seasons as a member of the I & I Corbin team. | " LEGION TEAM PRACTICE Coach Larry Mangan Issues Call For | | Candidates For Workout Friday | Night At & O'clock, | The first practice of the Eddy-| Glover post, American Legion, base- | ball team, will be held Friday night | lat 6 o'clock at Walnut Hill park.| |Coach Larry Mangan has issucd the | all for all candidates in the city | who will not be 17 years of age be- {for January 1, 1929.

New York, April 30 UP—Jack De- laney and Jack Sharkey are to fight 15 or less rounds at Madison Square Garden tonight. | The Boston sailor man is an S to| 5 favorite, chiefly on account of the | disappointing showing Delaney has| made in the heavyweight lists. | The match brings together two of | the ring's greatest mysteries. Once regarded as an eventual certainty to wear the mantle that now drapes | about Gene Tunney's broad should- ers, Delaney lost prestige he will tind it harg to regain in his defeat by | Tom Mecney, the rugged New Zea- lander. Unless he flashes again the ferm that carried him to the light| heavywelght throne, Delaney may | find himselt cut loosc ¥rom any fur. ther opportunity of crashing into the “big money” among the heavy-| weights, As light heavyweight cham- | plon Delaney was hailed as one of | the super-men of the ring. His left hand was one of the most accurate in the game and he possessed a Kill- ng punch in his right. Against Heeney the Bridgeport “rapier” kept | that right hand strapped to his body the blacksmith from hammering out a victory. Sharkey is in much the same pre- dicdment as is his opponent. His draw battle with Heeney and the bout he lost to Johnny Risko appare ently demonstrated thag the sympe toms of greatness discovered in him after he beat Harry Wills, Jimmy Maloney and others were symptoms and nothing more. Not since he was | knocked out by Jack Dempsey last summer has the former loquacious gob shown the promise that chare acterized his work against lessep foe: Caution—too much of jt—was the chiet cause for the poor showingm made by both Delancy and Shurkey in Tex Rickard's elimination tournas ment to develop an outstanding cone tender for Tunney's crown, most hoxe ing experts believs With ne “shot” for the title im sight, it may be that both wiil abane don caution and seek to regain the rrestige that once was theirs, Tom Heeney, who came out of the tournament with the prize—a mateh with the champion—is due to arrive from England today and is expected to witness the fight. Delancy, scaling around 180 pounds, probably will concede about 13 pounds to Sharkey. An eight round hout between Same my Vogel, New York lightweight, and Jackie Brady, Syracuse. N.

Figured in the advance | calculations as the most dangerous ! opponent of the United States on| this side of the water, the Japan-| csc showed thelr strength by sweep- | ing through threc straight matches| to defeat the Cubans. | While it hardly secms likely the | ricntal team can do more than of- for unexpectedly strong romp-wi'\ou; for Captain Tilden and his mates, it | the American zone | nalists. | In the second ronnd Japan will| meet Canada, which drew a firgt| round bye and fs etill an unknown.

Abe made a good showing in this country in the southern tournaments early | this spring.
