the Ten Jones zone. The location OF
the training camp has not been an

Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman who
once thought he was a white hope, Is
likely TO be a sparring partner OF the
cowboy contender.
This man DAILY has quite record
as conditioner OF champions and
hopes. He was the chief aid to the
late Billy Delaney when Jim Corbett
was training the summer OF 1892, in
preparation for the worlds battle with
John l. Sullivan. which made ring his
tory IN America. AZ that time DAILY
worked with Corbett so patiently and
carefully, that the ex-California bank
clerk was ready 10 fight for tivN hours
had il been necessary. Corbett had
the experience OF a 61-round draw
with Peter Jackson. in which the men
were in the ring more than four
hours, and DAILY and Delaney had
worked with him to repeat that feat
had II been necessary. The bout
which now is history lasted one hour
and three minutes. and Corbett was
as fresh at the finish as when he
started
Later DAILY trained Corbett for the
Charley Mitchell fight, which the
young Californian won in short order
Subsequently, DAILY worked the late
Gus Rubin up TO championship form
