DELANEY Some real treats are promised boxing patrons in Dunedin in the near future, and the first of them is to be provided at the Drill Hall to-morrow night, when Sammy Shack, the American lightweight, will jmect Bobby Delaney, of Australia, in fifteen three-minnlc rounds. Delaney has had a. meteoric rise in the boxing firmament during the (inst few months, having beaten successively such men as Kid Along, Norman Radford, Sammy Shack. Bert Brown, and Em. Connors. His light with Shack at the Sydney Stadium was a, substitute for a postponed Lccldc-Sar-ron mill, and at times it had the spectators on their feet with excitement, for both men were floored during the first bout, and there was very little in it at the finish, Delaney getting a close decision Shack is determined to reverse the result of the first meeting il Ifo can, and a clinking fight should be the result. Shack found conditions against him in Australia, and did not produce his best form, the intervals between fights being one of the causes contributing to this. Ho lias fought in many different countries, including America, England, Cuba, and tiro Philippines, It is, not often Dunedin followers of boxing are afforded the opportunity of witnessing so experienced a fighter in action. The contest will be preceded by the meeting of I' 1 . Hood autl .T. Walker in a special amateur preliminary to decide which of the pair is to represent Otago in the light-weight divison at Greyiuouth. It .should die q first-class bout. In all tour amateur preliminaries will precede the star attraction.
