OLD TIMER THE REAL FIGHTERNew York, Oct. 31— Billy Delaney says that the old time fighters were a deal different from the mitt workers of tcHtejr. • • s' V /The old timers were backward and bashful in comparison with ourboys of to-day,” said Billy recently.Say, did you ever notice the funny poses they assumed in photographs? It wasn’t that they fought that way or wanted to stand so, but they were forced by the camera man. The old timer went in and was told how to stand, and if he didn’t hold his head up and turn his fists up his picture wasn’t taken. The camera men were bosses then and bandied the pugs like a lot of children.Nowadays the fighter goes in and not only tells the camera man how he wants to pose, but tells him how to take the pictures and do the whole job.These fellows nowadays are full of gab. Jack Dempsey, Sullivan, Kil-rain or McAuliffe would fight a man lor fun just to show that they were better fighters. Can you imagine Burns or O’Brien or any of these fighters doing that? Not on your life.”
