New York, July 29.-Like the delicate aroma which is identified with the festive garlic, right hand punch and French fighter are in separable.
 This goes as well for the certified Class A Frenchman of the Carpen- tier type as it docs for the boys who are catalogued casually in the genealogy files as being of French extraction"
 By now the world knows that Mons Ovila Chapedelaine, known less heroically as Jack Delaney, is the new light heavyweight cham pion of the works. That he is also of French extraction is not a secret, either.
 Delaney's best punch is his right hand. He could have checked his left with his Auht Emma over in Bridgeport, Conn.,, the night he shcllacked Paul Berlenbach and still won the title by at least seven furlongs.
 Delaneys right is probably the most versatile right hand that ever dangled menacingly from belliger- ent shoulder socket. If there is anything he can't do with it I failed to notice what it was during his brisk rebellion against the "Castoria Assassin"
 Delaney's Right Is Different All Carpenter could do with that great right hand of his was to shoot it straight from the shoulder This meant he had to have just the open ing he wanted before he could get results. When it did land, of course, it was a kayo. Delaney's right is not like that.
 At long range Delaney can shoot his right either on straight line or from an angle: in close he can 1 drive it hard to the body with plenty of body power furnishing the i'm petus, or he can shoot it to the jaw, a ripping uppercut, that carries plenty of danger.
 1 There is, in short. fluency and a fleXibiity to the operation which makes the Delaney right a rather | remarkable weapon. This is a 1 quality not unusual in left handed punchers but it is seldom found in such abundance in right flanders.
 Developed Real Kayo Power It might be interesting to recall at this point that the Delaney right is synthetic as to ingredients. Which is to say it is the original 1 pattern torn down and rebuilt to suit the tenant When Delaney started boxing his right was brittle as glass. After every fight from one to three bones would be broken.
 Finally after breaking the hand for the eleventh time, fighting Jimmy Darcey in the semi-hnals of the Harry Greb-Johnny Wilson fight three years ago he tossed it on the surgical table of G. w. Fralick, noted fistic knife man, and said. Put in new battery, grind the valves and give it Duco finish,
 Fralick must have performed a miraculous operation on Delaney's hand, for not only did it acquire a new durability but it immediately developed a knockout power that the hand in it's original design never knew. Except for a slight fracture of the thumb sustained in the Der lenbach bout. Delaneys right hasn't been hurt since.
 IaviSne, Walcott and Others | Other fighters of French blood, though not strictly Frenchmen. to attain distinction as right hand seekers were George Lavigne, who was good enough to beat one of the greatest fighters of all time, namely. Joe Walcott; Tommy Burns, who won the heavyweight title succeed ing Jeffries, and Arthur Pelky.
 It was around Pelky's right, you may recall, that was written one of the narrowing tragedies of modern boxing. He caught Luther Me- Carty, best of the white heavy weights at the time, back of the ear in the first round with a long right and the Irishman fell to the floor dead.
 ! This came only 8 few minutes after a local clergyman had de. livered a sonorous sermon from the ring. the subject of which was "The mystery of death."
