BRADY (Morning ew Sport Editor) Operate on Delaney's Hand NEW YORK, March 24. (AP) Jack Delaney, of Bridgeport, Conn, world's light-heavyweight champion, was operated on today for the removal of a bone splinter in the thumb of his left hand. pOSStBLY we're "counting our chickens before they are hatched," as the saying goes, but If boxing becomes legalized'in this State it wili do much toward giving Wilmington battlers a chance to break into the limelight.

For instance, who in this section ever heard of Johnny Vaeca, Brighton bantam, until Fidel LaBarba, king of the flyweights, decided to stop off in Boston and pick op a flock of "easy simoleons." Naturally Fidel figured he had one of the home town prides every city had one and there would be little trouble in stopping off and handing young Vaeca a pasting in addition to picking up a nice size pile for his trouble. Card of 71 One Stroke Better Than Four Tied for Second With 72 Bobby Jones Only Amateur In First Rank; Sweetser and Hagen Behind ATLANTA. Ga March 24, (AP) Emmett French, veteran professional of Southern Pines, N. and Youngs-town, Ohio, led the field today at the close of the first round of the Southern Open golf tournament with a 71. He was sitting in a precarious position at the top of the class after 18 holes, however, with three other professionals and an amateur close on his heels with 72.

Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen, Larry Nabholtz and W. H. Livie were in the tie for second place. Jones and Sarazen often have been in the front rank, and Nabholtz, well known Cleveland pro. is no stranger, but Livie, also a Cleveland pro, came into stretch with the leaders on the first day as a dark horse.

Jim Thompson, Richmond, Willie Kline and Johnny Farrell, New York, and Charles Manning of Shreveport, finished in the next bracket tied at 73. Five had scores of 74. John Golden and Joe Turnesa, New York; Jim Foulis, Chicago; Al Watrous, Grand Rapids, and P. Connell. Jess Sweetser, British amateur champion, was in and out during the day's play and finished with 76, which Walter Hagan, national professional champion, needed 80, and Willie MacFarlane, former champion, finished in 81.

The Coast lad figured not with the fact that somewhere In the wilds of Massachusetts there might be a lad who lacked publicity and the opportunity to show the fistic world Just how good he really was! Well, the result of the first LaBarba-Vacca bout, in fact both, are so new In the- minds of fistic followers that comment other than to say that La- Barba received a sweet trouncing if trouncings can be sweet on both occasions, and Johnny Vaeca found his way into the big money.

Much the same thing applies to Clyde Hull, Texas middleweight. Pete Latzo, sovereign of the welterweights, and his manager, made a tour of the "sticks' picking up a few thousand "berries" here and there meeting set-Bps and what not. until Mr. Latzo also met with the same fate that befell LaBarba. Hull, home-town favorite, was un-neard of in the east, and Latzo and manager felt sure that Pete would have little trouble bumping the western.

Practically all of Hull's fighting was done in his immediate section and other than for the fact that he was looked upon as the best in that neighborhood little was known of his fistic prowess. His bout with Latzo, in which he surprised by slamming the champion from pillar to post, raised him from the hundred to thousand-dollar class. These are but two instances of this sort, although many others could be mentioned. They serve our purpose in pointing out the fact that several of the local boys might be raised from the S25-class to the real money should the boxing law pass here. Wilmington has plenty of fistic talent, all that is necessary is the opportunity to bring It to the fore.

This can be done only by bouts between boys who have already -won theii spurs and the local greats and the RACING for Today at New Orleans FIRST PACE Purse J10U0, claiming. 1-year-old maidens. 6 furlongs -Old Foxy 115. Betty 105. War Grail 110.

Rickard Will Fight Move of Fugazy to Stage Bout Between Latzo and Dundee NEW YORK, March 24 (AP) Promise of a lively tilt between metropolitan boxing promoters was given today by Tex Rickard's announcement that he will move to block the plans of his rival, Humbert Fugazy to stage a world's welterweight title bout between Pete Latzo, tire champion, and Joe Dundee, Baltimore challenger. In spite of Rickard's claims that he has Dundee under contract and will force the issue with the State Athletic Commission, Fugazy went ahead with arrangements to have both Latzo and Dundee sign articles here tomorrow for a 15-round title match at the Polo Grounds on May 24. Latzo already is under contract with Fugazy, and Dundee's manager, Max Waxman, today definitely accepted the Italian promoter's terms after denying that he was tied up with Rickard. Waxman admitted signing a blanket contract with Rickard some time ago, but insisted it called for a series of bouts leading up to a title match.

Jackson-Gallagher Head Keystone's All-Star Card at Shellpot Next Tuesday Lew Jackson, of Penn's Grove, and Jack Gallagher, both well-known in this city, will meet in the final number on the all-star card of exhibitions to be staged next Tuesday evening at the dance pavilion, Shellpot Park. Jackson has appeared here on several occasions and has always shown plenty of action. Gallagher will be remembered for his great fight with Ray Roniney at the Park, and manv are of the opinion that he will take the measure of the fast Penn's Grove Italian. In the semi-windup, Joe Joyce, who made such a brilliant showing here last Tuesday evening, will take on the toughest proposition that he has ever faced in the Park ring, when he meets Kid Chapman, of Atlantic City. Chapman is the greatest colored lightweight developed at the Shore, for a number of years.

In the main preliminary, Willie Griffith, the local favorite, will oppose Mickey King, of Manayunk, who recently put up a great exhibition with Lenny Sullivan, of this city. King and Griffith should furnish one of the fastest tilts of the season, as both are willing mixers. In the third tilt of the evening, Frankie Nelson, who boxed an eight-round draw at Reading, last Tuesday, with Marty Harris, will take on Joe McHale, of Manayunk, who recently beat Bennie Bernard, at the Park. In the second number. Red Grange, a willing lad from Vineland, will make his initial appearance here when he takes on Jack Ransford, of Manayunk, who recently stood off Jos Joyce.

In the opening number. Young Chaney, of the Ninth Ward, will meet Willie Peterson, of Elkton.
