New Pilot of Delaney Squawks Loud and Long at Alleged ‘ Run-Around 9

Joe Jacobs Seeks to Arrange Scrap With Tommy Loughran. CONFAB WITH MULLEN Tex Gives Joe Usual 'Cold Shoulder.’ By FRANK GETTY, United Tress Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—For u man who i has just invested $50,000 of a friends money in 175 pounds of prize fighter, little Jce Jacobs is having his troubles. Having bought Jack Delaney of Bridgeport for what constitutes a record price for light heavyweights, Joe was anxious to start right in and realize upon the investment. When a fight manager reaches that frame of mind—as most of them do, most of the lime—the next step is around the corner to Tex Rickard’s office on 49th St. The office is kept comfortably stocked with hungry fight managers. Somehow or other, the holiday spirit seemed to be missing when Jacob strolled around. The ‘'Welcome” had been worn off the door mat, and a neat card informed Joe that the paying teller's window was closed because of cold weather. “I have come.” announced Jecobs, “to sign my new meal ticket for a bout with the winner of next week’s business deal between Jack Sharkey and Tom Heeney.” “Take him away and get him a reputation,” replied the unfeeling Mr. Rickard, suggesting that Delaney take on Johnny Risko or Nap Dorval. At the suggestion that the ‘ ‘Rapier of the North,” the “Flashing-Eyed French Canadian,” who only a year ago was packing the customers into Rickard’s arena, needed a reputation, Jacobs swooned into the arms of Will McCarney, his associate in the business of owning and eating off the efforts of Jack Delaney. There being no way in which Jacobs could realize real money from his $50,000 investment in these parts outside of Madison Square Garden, Joe squawked loudly and long, thereby qualifying as a really big-time fight manager. Joe mentioned the “run-around” and other phases of the boxing business and wazed so indignant that steam stood out on his collar. Jacobs is in Phi'adolphla today, presumably to arrange for a business deal between Delaney and Tommy Loughran, the present holder of the world's light heavyweight championship. After that, Joe will continue on to Chicago, where he will talk with Jim Mullen concerning a fight between Delaney and Gene Tunney for the heavyweight title. Mullen insists he has authorization in writing to arrange for a Tunney fight. Jacobs has a fairly logical opponent, as such things go where Gene is concerned. There might be some business done in Chicago tfits wee!: which would startle the boxing world.

Pitt Eleven Loses'Battle to Stanford Both Touchdowns Scored in Third Period of Pasadena Fray. Bn Times Rvccial PASADENA, Cal., Jan. 3.—A wonderful gridiron struggle here Monday in the Rose bowl, ended in a triumph for the West over the East. Pop Warner’s Leland Stanford eleven was the victor, 7 to 6, over Jock Sutherland's University of Pittsburgh cleatmen. Both teams scored in the third quarter after the Cardinals had threatened to carry the ball over the Pitt goal in both first and second quarters. Early in the third period a vicious Pitt drive from the 20-yard line to deep in Stanford territory, ended when the Coast club held for downs. On the first Stanford play Wilton fumbled and Hagan scooped it up and ran for a touchdown. Booth's try for the extra point after touchdown was blocked. Stanford received the next kickoff and on the second play “Biff” Hoffman hurled a 40-yard forward pass to Worden who was downed on the Pitt 30-yard line. From this point the Cardinals sliced through to the Pitt 3-yard line. Hoffman shot a forward pass to Sims, who caught it, ran several steps and then fumbled. Wilton grabbed the oval and crossed the goal line. Hoffman kicked the point that won the game. In the final period the Pittsburghers tossed forward passes in every direction in a last desperate effort to even the count. Summary: PITTSBURGH (6). STANFORD (7). Donchess L. E Preston Kern L.

Perhaps Connie Mack is right, but there are some who are skeptical about his belief “Lefty” Grove, his stellar southpaw, will win twenty or more games this season. If Grove does win that many, the As are sure to be up in the pennant fight from the start. Chicago to Face Oregon Tonight 11 ii Times Special CHICAGO, Jan. 3.—A revamped University of Chicago basket squad will face the Oregon Aggies at Bartlett gymnasium tonight. The locals are favored because the Aggies haven’t displayed as much power as might be expected from a barnstorming team. Though the Maroons lost to the powerful Butler five here Saturday Coach Norgren's charges appear to be developing into a stronger aggregation.
