rumor was started IN the east, and IT
spread like wildfire TO San Francisco.
At first il was denied, first by Delaney
and then by Johnson. but at the same
time there seemed TO be a longing and
a haakering in the manner of each.
Johnson and Delaney have beenfcor-
responding steadily for many weeks
In fact they have had several meetings
which nobody else seemed to know
anything about. They discussed fights
and fighters and their ways and means
and peculiarities, and they made lot
Of plans which doubtless will be car
ried out very strictly just as soon as
Delaney gets in the going.
DELANEY KNOWS JEFFRIES
johnson figures that Delaney is the
very best man in the business TO have
close at hand while he is preparing
for this the greatest effort of his life
There are several reasons for this, chief
among them being that Delaney
brought Jeffries out and was with him
for every one Of his important battles
There is no other man in the world
who knows JEFF as Delaney does.
II is only natural for Johnson to
figure that Delaney's thorough knowl-
edge Of Jeffries will be q great aid to
him. The veteran can tell him lot Of
things about the retired champion that
will help him out wonderfully. II is
always TO one boxers advantage when
he gets good line on the man he is

ring game.
Delaney has been identified with
fighters for the last 40 years. And
he has always had good ones on his
staff, too. When Jim Corbett was the
king Of the roped arena, Billy was his
manager. his adviser and his chief sec

laney was godsend to him and that
the veteran manager had a lot to dc
toward landing him the crown.
FELL OUT WITH JEFF
Delaney and Jeffries fell out shortly
after the fire. They had many tilts
and upsets. Each tells his own story
but the sympathy Of the fans at large
is with the veteran manager Nine
out OF every ten Of them will tell you
that Jeffries did not treat Delaney as
he should have been treated. But De-
laney never said this. He's not a man
to recite his troubles.

Every summer we went away for a

know where 10 go. Some friends of
ours were going to the north pole in
an airship and we thought about taking
like trip, but our friends invited us
TO go with them, SO we did.
My mother and my sister made our
furs and in two weeks we were ready
to go.
We started on May /, 1910, and we
did not get to the north pole for many
months. Coming near the pole it got
very cold and there were many eagles
In the air. One alighted on the top of
our airship and broke our gas bag Be
fore we could fix it, it went TO the
ground.
My father and Mr. Brown, our friend,
got out to fix it. May Brown and

We then ran up TO 1t to see what IL
was. 1t was a polar bear and my
brother shot il. AS we went farther
north IT got so cold we had to return.
We had not gone far when our food
gave out. Then we went down to an
Eskimo camp and they gave us plenty
of food. We gave them some money
and few furs.
We stayed two or three DAYS with
the Eskimos, then we started for home.
We enjoyed coming home much better
than going to the north pole.
