Billy Delaney Was the Greatest
Trainer in the FiStic Arena

the perfect condition Of that New Or
leans history-making evening. He
brought Corbett to the Mitchell con-
test in superb shape-Corbett went
against the sage advice of Delaney in
preparing for the Fitzsfmmons con.
test and a new champion of the world
was crowned out on the wind-swept,
chilly March plains of Nevada, a cold
and bleak st. Patrick's day, FIFTEEN
years ago.
1t was Delaney who observed with
shrewd old eyes the fall of a great
champion and it vas Delaney who
planned with adroit skill for the
bringing forth into the land Of pu-
giltsm a young Lochinvar from out OF
the west. It was the skill. the pa.
thence. the kindly advice and the per.
severance Of the man who died yes.
terday that brought Jeffries trump.
hantly through the trials that beset his
early experience in the ring.
Almost two years ago a dirty and
contemplate pugilistic plot was con.
spired. Rumor. swift, persistent and
OF q hundred tongues. has often re-
peated the infamy of the plot that was
to permit Jeffries. a mere shell Of his
former greatness. to win the fight with
the black. An old man, sick in body,
old In years. but undaunted in spirit,
prevented n greatest swindle in the
history Of fghting-that man was
Billy Delaney.
The presence Of Delaney struck ter.
ror to h hearts of the plotters. JEFF
fries knew he was beaten. Jeffries
had cost his old mentor aside in the
days Of his greatness and in the hour
OF his greatest need Delaney came to
hasten the pugilistic end Of the man
he had moulded with infinite skill: and
the patience OF Job.
Perhaps the greatest trainer in the
world. Billy Delaney was a man loved
by those who knew him. He was q
relic of the days OF old, Of the sreat
fighting days of America. and 1t is q
peculiar fact that with the very shad-
ow lowering over him that 1t was the
brain Of Delaney that decided the is
sue in the last worlds championship
fkht. as the hand and brain had been
largely the determining factor in
countless other ring battles where the
title was the highest in the world OF
Ea1tilnia.
