The latter is still a 6 to 5 favorite. Delaney declared that, although the weight was a disadvantage, it would not bother him. Hecney was more confident than usual preceding the bout. Ho stated that he would defeat Delaney decisively enough to win a Tunney bout in Juno. Boxing enthusiasts are asked not to ’phone for the result of the llecneyDelaney bout to-morrow, because on similar occasions the number of calls has been such as seriously to hinder the sub-editors in their production of the paper.
