Cbe BERLENBACH MAY BE NEXT HEAVY CHAMP, FARRELL DECLARES BY HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 12, (United Press.}—Jack Dempsey, in one of his syndicated articles, says that the fighter who wins the championship from him must do it with his left hand. He reasons that his left hand is his best, and he will remain champion until some challenger comes along with a faster landing punch. Dempsey, it will be remembered, survived two of the greatest right hands in the business: The light- aing-like thrust of Carpentier and the bludgeon-swing of the powerful Firpo.

If Georges gets that ght heavy- Weight title back, Tuney and the rest of the contenders might just as well give up, because Georges will run home with it, and he'll die with it. Carpentier has found that a fight er without a title hasn't much glory to live on, and he loves the hurrah more than anything else. see C. D. Welch, one of the footbal authorities of England, discussed in @ recent“issue of a London newspa- per, the surprising growth of foot- ball in the United States. He saw the Bethlehem Steel and Fall River teams play last season and he expressed the opinion that either one of them could go far among the British teams, and could beat many of the fine teams there. It would seem then that the cham- pion is right when he figures that he will have to be beaten by, a left hand. There is only one fighter coming up who shows @ real left hand, and he is Paul Berlenbach, the latest Ught heavyweight sensation. He is the finest looking: prospect to coms out since Dempsey started knocking them dead six year ago. Berlenbach is just a few pounds over the middleweight class. He is only twenty-two years of age and he will fill out as he goes along. The way he has come along since he left the amateur ranks makes it seem that he may be the one who is to give Dempsey the real test. Berlenbach has won 23 consec- utive knockout victories and, in his first real test against Frank Car- bone, he stopped a fighter who had never been knocked out before. Berlenbach started out to be a wrestler, He is built ponderously about the neck and shoulders and he has a most powerful pair of arm: He seems to be a little bit musc bound, but Dan Hickey, his trainer feels sure that he can be loosened KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 12—Joe SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12.— Harry Greb, middleweight champion “Toots” Mondt, Colorado cowboy wrestler, scored a knockout here boxer, visiting here, said today that negotiations virtually were complete for him to meet Mike McTigue, who claims the title of light heavyweight champion of the world, in last night over Joe Stecher, former heavywelght wrestling champion.

Joe was carried to his corner and Referee Walter Bates disqualified Mondt and gave the decision to Stecher. 5 There were hoots of disapproval from the spectators, but they filed out of the hall without serious dis- STANDINGS OF AMATEUR TRIO TO BE PROBED SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12.—An investigation into the amateur standing of three prominent Califor- nia track and fie'd athletes is plan- ned by officials of the Pacific Ath- letic Association of the Amateur Athletic Union at its next meeting on February 21, it was asserted by Marill Andruss, chairman of the registration committee of the Pa- cific Athletic Association, The three concerned are Morris Kirksey, rec- ognized a& the only sprinter on the Pacific Coast capable of giving Charley Paddock a close race; Flint Hamer, former far-Western javelin champion, both formerly of Stan- ford University, and Charles Dorr, formerly of the University of Cali- fornia, and for three years the fast- est Pacific Coast collegiate two- miler.

Hughie McQuillan, one of the pitch::s for the New York Giants, was the one who really got Berlen- bach Into boxing. He had tired of the amateur wrestling game, and one night McQuillan asked him to put on the gloves in a little amateur tournament that was being held in thelr club at Astoria. Berlenbach consented, and he knocked out nearly everyone in the club. He took a liking to the gloves and decided to try the game. In his first bout in Jersey he was knocked kicking, but he was not discouraged, and he finally consent- ed to place himself in the hands of Dan Hickel, boxing instructor at the New York Athietic club. Hickey has done wonders with him, and it is improbable that he will make any mistakes in bringing him along. He is being built slow: ly and well, and in another year he ought to be the light heavyweight champion. There aren't many of the light heavyweights now who could stand up under his murder ous left hand. 8 As has been referred to several times recently, England is also com- plaining about bad boxing decisions. The English fans take their sport far more seriously and they know much more about point scoring than is known or carried out in this country. To decrease the chances for mak- ing mistakes a fan wrote into a London editor recently, suggesting that after each round the referee announce the winner of the round and number of points scored by each fighter. These scores, he suggest- J ed would be posted on a scoreboard over the ring, so that the spectators would know the actual standing of the two fighters at all times during the fight. BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 12,—(By The Associated Press.}—The recent announcement that Luis Angel Firpo, Argentine heavyweight had been offered $1,110,000 by a New York ‘syndicate for his exclusive services in the United Sta‘ for one year was the result of mis conception, Hugh Gartland, Firpo's business representative, declared to- day. The figure mentioned, he said, represented the total of all the offers Firpo has received recently for boxing matches, and vaudeville and motion pictures work during the coming year.

NURSES G OUT TO MAUL FIRPO, HE SAYS BY FAIR PLAY (Copyright 1924 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Feb. 12—Charley Weinert, the Newark adonis has been spending the winter in the woods, chopping trees and getting himself into such shape as he never has been. Weinert nurses but one ambition and coupled thereto is a grudge. He is Lreparing to meet Firpo, has challenged him—Hughey Gartland took it In his pocket to Buenos Aires, and expects to knock the big bull for a loop when they meet. Weinert hates Firpo with an abid- ing fervor and the feeling is recip- rocated by the Argentine, It all dates back to Luis’ early days in Newark when he was getting from $125 to $300 per battle and Weinert was In the big money, comparatively speaking. Chartie took an instinctive dislike to Firpo and when the two met, the @donis made a comment at the‘ex- pense of the South American. Now Firpo understood only three or four words of English’ but those words happened the to be ones Charlie used. They were not nice words. Firpo said nothing but advised several friends that when,he got into the ring with the Jersey man he would kill him: And he almost kept his word. Weinert slept more soundly after Luis Firpo's big right entwined it self about his jaw than he ever done before or since. Charlie now says he was not in condition and as a matter of fact he was not. Next time he will be and he says if there is only one man in the world he can lick that man is Ffrpo. This is not press agent stuff either, Weinert means it all and will be sore when he sees his deadly plan exposed to the world in print.
