When the Two Meet There Wilt be
Something Doing in
Pugdom.
WHAT MALACHY HOGAN SAYS.
Quite Likely That Billy Delaney Really
Has Words Champion Under
His Wing.

Malachy Hogan says that after a
great deal of jockeying for suitable
partner to usher him into the pug.hs-
nc armament, AL Kaufman, Billy De-
laneys latest acquisition, has found his
man The opponent has turned up in
the person Of Philadelphia Jack o.
Brlen Just back from the Klondike and
laden with nuggets, but stlll laundering
for more. According to the conditions,
az announced, the men are TO meet be-
fore the San Francisco Athletic club
on oct a. OBllen wanted clean
breaks, but was overruled.
This match win give Kaufman the
opportunityhe has wanted 70 show what
he can do with a real boxer. There
has been lot OF talk about him among
hght fans, and the interest seems to bo
increasing rather than decreasing, al
though there is stu little but Delaney's
word for IL that his man Is coming
champion II hardly seems probable
that Kaufman can make much OF 4
showing with his limited experience
against such a talented man as O'Brien,
but the match proves what the discov-
erer thinks Of his and inasmuch as
he passed up match with a much less
clever man to take the fastener on.
Although he is not generally known as
o. Knockout fighter, O'Bren has shown
often enough that he has a punch, and
his quick jabbing viii give any green
boxer lot OF trouble, Kaufman has
shown conclusively enough that he can
hit and the outcome Of his fight seems
10 be entirely n matter OF the extent OF
his boxing knowledge,
Exactly why Delaney preferred o..
Brien to John Willie as an opponent Of
Kaufman Is not generally known here
unless II be that O'Brien might provo
the better attraction and draw a great
er house Willie Is a sturdler chap. and
If the coast man Is figuring on a knock
out he probably made a wise selection
but there are many who doubt the abil-
~ Of beginner to do what so many
clever veterans, and among them
Tommy Ryan have failed to do.
Perhaps the best line on Kaufmann's
ability can be had from the showing he
made against Marvin Hart when no
boxed with the latter at the training
quarters in California when Marvin was
preparing for one OF his fights Kauf-
mann was then 10 years old.
Il should judge that Kaufman ~
now q man Weighing upward Of l05
pounds said Jack Mccormick. who
was then Harris manager. HE is a
wonderfully clever chap, fights at long
range, and Hart could apparently not
get near him, At the same time he
put Marvin to the floor with compare
tive ease He Is magnlhcently built
and looks to me every inch cham
pion | will be very much surprised Ii
O'Bren lasts four rounds with him. l
arranged to bring Kaufman east, but
his relatives persuaded him 20 remain
ON the coast until he gets a little more
seasoning"
Willie was much disappointed at the
outcome OF his negotiations with De-
laney. lie has been In the hardest kind
of luck lately. Two of his matches in
Salt Lake City fell through and now
this other match, that he thought would
surely go through is Off.
II Kaufman defeats O'Bren. there Is
no doubt that he will be eligible for a
match with Marvin Hart, who claims
