 DELANEY WORKOUT.
Light Heavyweight Champion
 Now Training in New York

Yesterday saw big doings among the principals in the feature ten rounders that make up the Christ mas Fund fistic carnival which Humbert J. Fugazy has arranged for the Fourth Regiment armory, Jersey City, Monday night. The un- expected arrival here of Jack De- laney, worlds light heavyweight champion who meets Bud German, the Wisconsin contender for Tun- ney's title, of course, was the big noise. Delaney had figured on work ing at his Bridgeport camp until the day before the battle.
 last minute shift in plans brought him to New York and he worked out at Stillman's gymnasium following Germans training session there. One of the biggest crowds the light heavy king go through his paces.
 Incidentally Charley Phil Rosen- berg, worlds bantamweight cham pion who takes on Petey Mack, the Jersey City sensation in another ten rounder, also worked out at Still mans. The bantam monarch was all enthusiasm over his reinstate- ment and it showed in his workout. He is certain that he will score over Mack In which event he intends to go out after the worlds feather weight championship.
 Both Delaney and Rosenberg were the main attractions. The light heavyweight king was especially in the spotlight from the moment he stepped out to do his stuff.
 That Delaney's popularity is greater than ever could be seen by the ovation he got The crowd was confident that in Delaney they were looking at the next challenger for heavyweight honors.
 Jack intends 10 go In against German at t75 pounds but he look ed bigger than ever in his training togs. Moreover he did not seem to be carrying an ounce of superfluous flesh. He made a very favorable inn pression as he skipped about with all his old time speed and skill.
 Much interest also is being shown in the Andy Divodi- Hack Mcfarland and Giovanni Salerne- Johnny Green bouts which complete the ten round features.
 The opening four rounder will bring together Jim Braldock, Jer- sey knockout king, and Doc Con- rad. younger brother of Mcfarland.
