If you think I can waip Kaufman into shape I am willing to try. At any rate I will be getting pretty well paid for my services.” Delaney says that Kaufman has failed to develop because he has never yet met a man who was his superior in knowledge of the game. “Tommy Ryan took hold of Jeff and cut him to pieces every day until he developed Jim Into the best man in the world.
