“Jack Delaney is in good shape. i
have just finished a wry careful
examination of the challenger for
the light- heavy wei th champion-
ship at his training camp here. I
watched him go through a loosen-
ing up exerciso. I watched him as he
punched the big bag through two
rounds: I kept an eye on him while
he played a. tattoo on the light bag
for two rounds.
“I saw him box three rounds with
John Lester Johnson. They were
fast rounds. and at tho'end I listen-
ed to Deianey's heart. I saw him
go thlough three more fast lounds
with Buddy Jackson. a light heavy.
weight. Then I listened to his heart
and noted that he “as Just begin—
ning to prespire. ,
“I saw him go through three
rounds of milling with Andy (Kid)
Palmer. At the finish. I againitook
note of his heart, remarked that he
was prcspirlng fairly well and that
be u as breathing only slightly abole

“John Lester Johnson served as
an excellent sparring partner. De-
laney was able to cut loose with
hiln a bit and the cllallenger's
punches were hard and clean. Sev-
eral times Delaney staggered
Johnson. and I could .not help but
note that it was not only his right
hand that _wns effective.
Doesn't Miss Many.
“Buddy Johnson supplied a. dif~
fel'ellt. type of workout. It was his
form to try to make Delaney miss.
l Delaney did miss. but so infrequent-
iy that it could not be counted
against hiln and when he did his
stance was not adversely affectc .
“The three rounds with A .-.y
(Kid) Palmer, of course. were them
ill the nature of a. "speed up"
workout than actual milling.
"His trainer has certainly done a
good job with Delaney.
“I find that Delaney ls \cry fast
on his feet. that he has developed
some new punches for him. that he
is not drawn too fine. that ills
mental attitude is happy. that he is
confident of ‘victory and that he is
in excellent condition.
