The match is one of the ad in Chicago’s effort to build. uj opponent for Gene Tunney, an Dee laney is the likely opponent, if he n convince his audience tonight. Tunney has said he would like to fight again in Chicago. He likely will talk terms with Promoter Jim lullen here next week, and Delaney may get the big “shot” if his show- ing is impressive. rlenbach counters this Delaney campaign talk with a statement that he is fighting the top notchers only to prove to a certain New York clique that he is not “through.” De. laney once knocked out “Punch-Em” Paul, as Berler.bach used to be known, in four rounds, but the next two encounters were divided evenly. Indications were they would draw a gate of approximately $50,000, in ccntrast with th $442,000 at their last combat in Ebbets field, Brook- lyn. Delaney has gained only a couple of pounds since he tossed off} ¢j the,175 pounds title ‘- invade the heavyweight _rat.ks, while Berlen- bach will probably weight in about five pounds lighter.
