Cal Dclaney Makes Hit al the National
NK of the most pleasing boxing bouts seen hoie in many a day was put on
at the National last Saturday night when Cal IMancy. of Cleveland,
scored n decisive ictory mrr .loe Phillips, the rugged, iron-jawed Italian.
Cal showed he was i lever, had a pumh and could take one. He kept after
his man from the start and never let up for 1111 instant. In the serond round
lie had Phillips nil but out. injuring his right hand on the Italian's head.
After that Delaney used his left mot of the lime nnd inflicted niiuh pun
ishment. Delaney is a fighter and loves the game. He was stutioned in Knglmid
during the war and took part in the boxing tournament for the king's tiophy.
Unfortunately, there were too ninny 13.1 pounders nnd Cal was told to sit on
the sidelines. This he refused tn do and went in the welterweight division,
where hr reached the finals. After that il was discovered that the United
States did not have a middleweight, so Cal boxed in that class, again reach
ing the final". He gave away as much as twenty pounds in some of the
battles, but fought justMhc same and gave a good nccouut of himself. He was
the most popular American boxer in the tournament.
Cnl now is under the management of Jimmy Dunn nnd has deilared war
on all members of the 135 -pound clas. He shows promise of developing into
a wonderful little lighter and will be heaid from in Hie fiituie.
After the wind-up and Johnny Kilbane was in his dressing room. Johnny
Mahoney came in to' apologize to the champion for butting him over the eye.
Mahoney believed he had committed a socinl error, forgetting that Kilbane
had knocked him stiff in the fifth round and had him reeling nil over the ring
in the sixth, when Pop O'Brien used excellent judgment nnd stopped the bout.
"I'm sorry, Johnny," said Mahoney. "1 didn'-t inenn it and hope you
won't be laid up long."
"I'm sorry I hit you on the ihin," replied Kilbane, "but don't let that
worry you. All of us get It sooner or later, and you must expect it. Hope
1 didn't burt you and 1 wish you good luck."

ROOT AND FOX AT OLYMPIA
. Hy JAMKS S. CAROIiAN
Johnny Sfnhoney. the letrenting
IliiT-.lctoti representative, received three
important lessons from Professor Kil
bane at the National on Saturday night,
i I'irsl he 'was Instructed in boxing, next
, in ring etiquette nnd last in punch re
ceiving. iVlalioney was going nlnng
nie'efy, taking many Jabs without pro
test wlin he very thoughtlessly nnd
playfully tossed hi head against Kil-
bane's eye and drew the blood.
This is against all the rules of ring
vvnrfare. Kilbane resented the nfTront
nnd proceeded to shatter Ty Cobb's
hitting record. The champion hit ac
curately and his punching wns so effect
ive that he forced Referee Frank
(Pop) O'ltrien to stop the bloody battle
early in the sixth round.
Kilbane gave his greatest exhibiflnn
of hitting in this city. Tlint uncalled
foi-1 "butt" in the middle of the fifth
round which ripped n deep gash nlong
the side of Kilbanc's left eye stimulated
the champion nnd it was notliVg hut
nction until the abbreviated finish.
Kilbane Waives Foul
Mnhoney'g act wns a deliberate one
After the fight Referee O'Brien said it
was n foul, but he allowed the fight to
continue upon the request of Kilbane.
Mahoney never took such a lacing ns
he received in thirty seconds of the fifth
round and just one minute of the sixth.
He was battered all over the ring, his
body nnd head taking numerous 'terrific
punches. The severe bombardment had
the upstnter helpless nnd battered when
the referee stepped between them.
For four rounds Kilbane gave a very
tine exhibition of boxing. Mahoney was
completely on the defensive and tiie
Olevelander had difficulty in breaking
down that guard. Even his uppercut
from pivot formation failed to shnt'tpr
that Mahoney defense. That "butt" was
Milneient lo swing the pendulum of I
battle. !

Cubs Won First National Pennant
FVC1NG a new campaign, it may or may not be of any massive Interest to
know. that Chicago n the .first National League pennant in 1876; nlao
that Chicago won the first American League pennant In 1D0O.
It also may or may not be pf interest to know that Ross Rarncs, of Chi
cago, was the first league leader at bat, with an average of .403 in 1876. If
nil this means nothing in your life, dou't blame us for trying..
In the forty-two years of National League play Chicago has bagged
eighteen pennnnts, noston nine and New Tork eight. In the eighteen years of
American League play Boston and Philadelphia have each' won six pennants,
Detroit three nnd Chicngo three.

Leagues Open Saturday
The Trl-Stato Tennis nnd Suburban
League will get gjlug in full order this
Saturday aftemoou. ' The .opening
matches of the Trl-Stnte League will
bring together Helfield at Overbrook,
Wilmington nt Riverton, Germantovvn
at' Cynvvyd.
Fourteen, inter-club competitions are
scheduled for the Suburban Associa
tion. The first day's matches will be
between Klberon at rniversity courts,
Olenside at Rtenton A. C, American
polish. The Oua'kers were clocked
Wright believes Olendon has the best . in Os'JOH-fi which is only two-fifths
of a second slower than the best time
ever made by a Red nnd v Rlue crew
over the Henley course.
Penn's time on Saturday was 1 :13
3-5 faster than the figures made against
the Navy, but conditions on the Housa
tonic and Severn vVere different.
Three of the four crews that rowed
on the Housatonie "waters beat the
record for the course. The exception
was the Y'ale' varsity and the 0:31 2-5
made by the R.luc first eight tied the
mark. The Yale second eight was
clocked in 0:27 3-5 and the Penn
juniors in (1:30 I'-fi.
and from the pres'ent outlook there Is
no crew in the country that could bent
them. Overconfidcnce seems to be the
only thing that will sink the Navy shell.
IMebes Win Easily
Not only did the Middle first eight
scorea one-sided triumph, but the
PJebes also came 'through with nn easy
victory. The first-year Navy eight was
eight lengths ahead of Harvard and ten
ahead of the Princeton freshmen. The
Plebes did the course in 11:24, which
is faster time than that made by the
Tiger and Crimson varsities, nnd the
conditions were virtually the same.
