BRIDGEPORT. Dec. 2.-——I’cto
Reilly. manager of Jack Delaney. has
sent forth a call for another corps
of sparring partners to train the
Bridgeport light-heavyweight for his
championship tussle with Paul Ber-
lenbnch on Doe. II. Delaney is now
at the height of his training work
and has so spent Phil Jackson and
Andy Kid Palmer that Buddy Gor—
man and Georgie Ward have been
asked to report here as soon as pos-
slblt'.
Yesterday afternoon while boxing
at. the Park City gym. Delaney shot
Jackson flatter than a door nail.
Jackson is a tough receiver and the
fact that Delaney put him on the
resin wearing iii-ounce gloves makes
the teat more remarkable. Jackson
was leading to Delaney at the time
he received the punch that stretch-
ed him on the canvas. Delaney toy-
ed with him in a clinch and then
scooicd in a short right and the
colored battll'r fell face forward to
the. floor and Delaney assisted him
to his corner.
.I’f'io Reilly feels ccrlnin that DO-
five rounds.
_“A right punch in one of the.
clinches will finish llrrlcnbncb.“
Reilly states. “Jack is wiscd 11p to
Paul's style of fichiing and will be
in the best condition of his career
when he steps into the ring. It will
be a knockout victory as rarly as
five rounds."
