March I.—The promoter’s battle between Jim Mullen cf Chicago and Tex Rickard of New .York for the lightweight title bout between Sammy Mandell and Jimmy McLarnin may end in no bout at all. Mullen has signed to a contract and Rickard has McLairn tied to an agreement. Neither has made any progress so far with the other fighter. Mullen Confident After a conference with Pop Foster, McLarnin’s manager. Mullen announced that he expected to close for the bout today., However. Rickard announced McLarnin would do all his future fighting in New York. “If I can’t get Mandell I will match McLarnin against the leading lightweights,” Tex said. “McLarnin is the drawing card. A lightweight championship bout without McLarnin would be a flop, and if there is any promoting of a Mandell-McLarnin bout I’ll do it.” Contract Stops Kane Eddie Kane, Mandeli's manager, i listened to a proposition from Rick- i ard Wednesday, but he hasn't fg- j ured out yet how to get out of the i contract with Mullen. Kane and j Rickard were scheduled to confer! again today. “I am prepared to give McLarnin $30,000 to fight Mandell in Chicago,” Mullen said. “And that's more than Madison Square Garden can offer him.”

j Decisive Victory Will Send French-Canadian to Fistic Heights. AUSTRALIAN IS PLODDER

Big Scrap on Air

The Jack Delaney-Tom Heeney heavyweight bout, scheduled over ! the fifteen-round route in New York ; tonight, will be broadcast by WJZ. powerful New York radio station, j according to a United Press disj patch. Boxing fans are advised to tune in at 9 p. m. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY. United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. March i.—The man who might fill the place in the boxing world left vacant by the retirement of Jack Dempsey faces the supreme test of his career in Madison Square Garden tonight. Jack Delaney of Bridgeport, Conn., meets Tom Heeney of Gisborne, New Zealand, in a scheduled fifteen-round bout and a decisive victory will send the FrenchCanadian down the trail to fistic fame and fortune. If the former light-heavyweight champion knocks out Heeney, he will be hailed as Jack Dempsey's successor and the ballyhoo will be on for a championship bout between Gene Tunney and Delaney in Yankee stadium on June 14. Simply because Delaney is popular with the mob he is'the favorite to defeat Heeney at odds of 6 to 5. Delaney will be forced to concede almost twenty pounds to Heeney, and many experts believe it will be too big a handicap for him to surmount. Jack carries a stick of dynamite in his right hand and he has floored some big men. but he has yet to knock out a really first-class heavy-* weight. Tom lacks the class and color of Delaney, but he is a hard-working, plodding fighter who is ofttimes better thah he is given credit for being. He has' improved with every fight and in his last appearance against Jack Sharkey made the best showing since he has been in this country.

Great Form Displayed by Lloyd Hahn Star Nebraskan Wins ‘Mile of Century’ in Easy Manner. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor ; NEW YORK, March I.—Lloyd Hahn, the slim, silent Nebraskan, Who must be America’s main dependence in the middle distance events at Amsterdam next July, was established today as the outstanding athlete of the indoor track and field season. By his victory in the “Mile of th*: Century" over his two most formidable challengers for middle distance honois at Madison Square Garden last night, while 20,000 cheering spectators looked on. Hahn capped the climax of a successful career whichhas brought him thirty-five victories in thirty-six starts. Peltzer Far Behind Dr. Otto Peltzer, world’s record holder at the half-mile, who was making his farewell appearance in the United States, was left far behind by the flying Nebraskan, while Ray Conger of Illinois A. C.. the only man to defeat Hahn in three seasons, was beaten by twenty yards. That Hahn failed to equal or better the world's record for the mile must be attributed to the calibre ol the opposition rather than to the limitations of the Nebraskan. Hahn was so far out in front that he had to make all the running, and even then came within one second of the world's record, held jointly by Joie Ray of the Illinois A. C. and Paavo Nurmi of Finland. The Nebraskan’s time of 4:13 was remarkable under the circumstances. Devoid of Thrills The race, which was expected to equal those in which Nurmi took part here three years ago, proved devoid of thrills, for Hahn was away in the lead with the crack of the gun and neither of the others ever drew up to his shoulder. Two of those who attempted “come-backs” in the K. of C. games —Joie Ray and the Rev. Harold C. Cutbill—failed dismally. Joe was fifth in the two-mile run. Cutbill finished last in a half mile run. CONGER AND RAY Hi' r uited Press DES MOINES. lowa, March 1 Ray Conger, Illinois Athletic Club runner, will meet Joie Ray in a special race at the Missouri valley indoor conference meet here March 10, it was announced today.

SOME UNIFORM! This is how President Bob Quinn of the Boston Red Sox was attired when he worked out with his club at their Bradenton, Fla., camp. The best way to figure out the trousers is that President Bob didn't quite know how his ball players roll theirs up. Or. perhaps, the magnate doesn’t believe in “rolling his own.”
