DELANEY'S SLEEP
 PRODUCER IS o. K.. BATTLER DECLARES

With the date of the Bogash- l Delaney fight one month from to- 1 before the local battlers get down to real hard u aiming. Both, however, will continue their regular daily rou- tine, with Delaney shaping himself will stick to his old quarters at the | historic Acorn A c. on Kossuth St. Admirers of Delaney who have been concerned over the knockout for worry as the hand will be in fighting shape when he meets Bo- gash, according to Manager A. Jen- nings. A peep at the battler's hand pearance over that of two months ago when Delaney was forced to cease ring operations to give it treatment.
 ed that his fighting paw will be O. k. ''Bogash will know som mething hit him when he comes into contact with that that" he said as he sSI exhibited dted the grinding work to put me in shape, am always fit to enter the ring" said Delaney. Why, I could go in against Bogash tonight" he added.
 Asked if he believed he could lick Bogash, he said:-''That's a foolish question. Looey and I are the best of friends. but I know am his mas ter with the gloves. I'm tickled to IT! be Bridgeport's best we1terwe;ght when1 go to bed on the night of February 13,'' he said.
 Bogash Also Confident
 Bogash and his admirers are also confident of the ability Of Looey to squelch the championship ambitions of Delaney. As expected, a majority of local ring fans. who have followed the upward climb of the spaghetti mauler since his ring career started, are counting on IIoOev'S experience to be a big factor in his favor. All ad init that Delaney is a wonderful puncher, but they figure the evasive Looey and his famous crouch togeth- CT with his ring lessons of the past three years will prove the combina- tion that will land Bogash trium- phant.
 When DeIaney's followers display a dreamland despatcher that has put a dozen opponents to sleep within the past year, they are not slow in pointing out the fact that Looey is a glutton for punishment, and also has a wicked left hand jab which has pro- duced sleep for scores of boys he has faced in the ring.
 The issue of the coming battle seems to simmer down to this-Can Delaney penetrate Bogash's wonder full guard and land knockout. If Looey is right" he will have hard job, all agree. Another question is. can Looey uncork sufficiently pow erful blow to kayo Delaney. There are numerous phases to be argued. but the prevailing opinion is that if Delaney wins he must do it with in six rounds, or Looey will win out on points. At any rate it's going to be the biggest fight, so far as local interest is concerned, in the pug1ls- tic annals of the Park City.
 Matchmaker George W. Dwyer stated yesterday that Young Nc Auliffe will referee the contest.
