DELANEY MADE

Hopes to Wipe Out Lick

on First Trial as Heavy
By HENRY L. FARRELL
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK. Aug. 10.-Jack De-
laney, who tossed the light heavy
weight championship Of the world
into the lap of old Mike McTigue so
he could fight big men for big
money, was an eight to five favor
lite today to win fromPaolino Czcud-
un when trey meet tomorrow night
in the Yankee Stadium.
1t is Delaneys second venture OF
importance into the heavyweight
class. He thinks so much of his
chances to fight himself past Paol-
inc, Jack Sharkey, Jack Dempsey
and Gene Tunney into the big title
that he surrendered a title that
would have drawn at least $4,000
Ill the open market.
The first venture of the hand
some French Canadian into the
heavyweight ranks was decidedly
not IL success, as he was given Il
sound FASTING by Jim Maloney,
who later was flattcned by Sharkeyy.

his manager that he has filled out
in the last year, Delaney is stu a
little man in comparison to the
chunky Uzcudun and the other
ranking heavyweight mobiles.
Delaney and Pete Reilly, his man

fight thrown out. They claim De

was critically i'll, and that he was

LIVELY PRELIMS
TO SET OFF MAIN
EVENT AT ARENA

Three lively battles will lead mp
to the main go at the arena Friday
night in which Pat Duncan of San
Diego and Tony Valderama will
fight for honors. Frank Richmond
has booked 26 rounds of battling
for the evenings performance and
as usual he has stacked the deck
with lively bouts.
Much Is expected of the semi final
bringing together Julian. Arriola of
SIM Diego and Raymond McQuillan
Of Denver. The later, who recently
arrived on the coast from Denver,
is picked by fans as the favorite
for the tusslc. Mcmillan has fought
to a draw with Tommy Shull, FL
Centre ace, and has put a numb Der
of other boys on the short end of
the decision.
His defense is his one weak feature
but he is fast and usually keeps his
opponent so busy that defense
would only be an unnecessary abb
hty.
In Arriola, however, the Denver
youth may need defense for Arri-
ola hits hard. He proved this beyond
question by setting the speedy An
drew Brooks, Imperial colored bat
tier, on the mat for IA count of ten.
Arriola has a heavy right and is Il
good mixer. The match should prove
an interesting one.
A special six rounder will bring
Mike Murillo of San Diego and
Homer Gaines of Imperial into act
ion. The Imperial colored boy has
been stepping along at "A wicked
rate in his recent fights. He IL Il
heavy hitter in the INIT league and
is rapidly acquiring ring knowledge.
His ability to follow up an advant-
age is one of his chief assets.
Murillo, like Gaines, has been
stepping along fast recently and
when the two boys meet some fire
works should follow.

Los ANGELES, Aug. 10.-The
threat Of Ernie Owens on the heavy
weight horizon passed today, with
Jake Kilkrain, negro heavyweight
defeated in their ten round clash at
the Olympic last night, qualifying
as one of the "iron men, of fist
ana.
Owens found Kilrain's jaw early
in the first round and dropped him
for no count. The second found Kill
rain unable to locate his corner. He
dropped the next five rounds by
varying margins, taking Owens best
punches and coming back for more
in a manner that appeared to dis
hearten the Seattle l75-pounder.
The eighth, ninth and tenth rounds
found Owens very tired, but far
enough in front to win the decision
which was "boohcd' by the fans.
The semi windup of 10 rounds in
which Danny Kramer was given
the nod over Dario Barron stole the
show. Kramer's eye was opened i'll
the second and in the third he APP
peared on the verge of knockout.
Both feathcrwcights set fast
pace throughout, with Kramer s
left giving him a big edge in the
sixth. The fight was close with
many of the fans voicing their dis
approval at the decision.
Cliff Ramies, Mexican middle
weight, knocked out Leo Mitchell
in the seventh round of the opener.
a right to the jaw sent Mitchell
down for an eight count, and as he
attempted to clinch another to the
head sent him down for the full
toll.
