BILLY LIKED HERE
DESPITE DEFEAT
His Right Is Expected to
Worry Buffalo Heavy in
Battle Tomorrow.

L DELANEY, young Buffalo
n heavyweight who has per-
~ formed both sensationally ana
4 \ unimpressively before local
hstic fans, will clash with rugged
Billy Ketchell, stocky Philadelphia
scrapper, in the scheduled eight-round
feature bout at Turner'S Arena to-
morrow night.
Previously matched for January Is,
Ketcheu was forced to face Eddie
Nader, who trounced him, when De-
laney was reported to be Ill in New
York. Rumors along the fistic grape
vine at that time, however, discounted
AIS sickness.
But, regardless of whether the Buff
falo better was i'll abed-and he prob
ably was-Ketchell could have given
Delaney strenuous struggle the night
he bowed to Nader.
Ketchell Popular Here.
THE type of fighter who keeps wad-
T. ing in, taking blows on his gram
ite-like chin while seeking place to
plant his damaging right-hand wall
lop, Ketchell proved immensely pop
ular with Washington's cauliflower
colony.
Although Delaney created some
what of a sensation in his ring debut
here when he hoored Bob Goodwin,
Terry Mitchell and Joe Lipps since
have demonstrated AIS Sunday sock
Is not iniallible.
Delaney, however. still is regarded
as one of the most promising heavy
weights in the ring today. so promis-
ing, in fact, that Manager Dave Son
nenberg has refused $4,000 for his
contract.
Incidentally, Delaney is credited
with having hit Joe Louis the stiffest
punch Of the Brown Bomber's career
and also with having floored Buddy
Baer, considered by many the out
standing white hope" for a nine
count in Buffalo engagement last
Summer.
Fink Handling Delaney.
T on FINK, former trainer of Gene
- Tunney and now in the employ
Of Tony Canzoneri, lightweight cham
pion, recently Joined Delaney's staff
of handlers and has conditioned Al
for the Ketchell battle.
Ernie Anderson. cited by Jack
Dempsey, as the most promising OF
10 heavyweight hopefuls who appeared
in Dempsey's elimination tournament
with Billy Niche in scheduled eight
round semi-flnal.
Niche, victor over Hans Birkie and
Lou Scozza among others. was passing
through the city yesterday and Match
maker Goldie Ahearn persuaded him
to substitute for Steve Kadash. who
originally was booked to fight Ander-
son. Billy is popular club fighter
both in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Joe Doty, lightweight whirlwind,
finally will graduate from the four
FOUNDERS, moving up to meet Bobby
Decker, jointly managed by Jim Nc
Namara and Matte Brown, in sched-
uled Surround bout.
Four-round preliminaries list Tommy
Hoover facing Harry Thompson and
