By FAIR PLAY (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, March 13—Tex Rickard’s jam with Jersey boxing Promoters as to Paul Berlenbach’s engagements {ndicates that if the New York promoter deserts the em- Dire state in favor of Jersey he will not have absolutely smooth sailing. ‘True Rickard seems to have a hold upon that big fire trap on Boyle's thirty acres in Jersey City, but base- ball parks in Newark and Jersey City and such amusement parks as Dreamland in Newark can be em- Ployed by the Jersey men for com- petitive shows, In fact there is a report right now that a fight be. tween Harry Greb and Berlenbach for the middleweight title at Dream- land in May fs something more than a possibility. To hear the ballyhoo guys talk one would think that Paul Berlen bach will be in great danger when he faces Jack Delaney on Friday Right at the Garden. So far as the ‘writer can see the only danger to the farmer wrestler runs is in not being able to connect with the 5S abag within the 12 round They say that Rickard regards Jackie Clark, who is scheduled to fight Berlenbach in Newark on March 17, as a much more danger ous opponent than Delaney and that ‘was why he tried to bribe the Jer sey promoters to call off the fight. Rickard doesn't want Paul to pul! any cropper at least until after the Olympic fund benefit bouts at the Garden late in April at which Ber. ienbach ts to be the drawing card. of same ingredients, then candy coated.

Chilly weather continues to ham- per workout plans. Manager Ban- croft of the Braves feared for his pitchers yesterday and there was no Mneup of the regulars against the Yannigans. There was intensive batting prac- tice, however, in preparation for to- day's game.

Ruth attributed his showing to the effect of influenza on his eyes. The Glants are back to training routine at Sarasota, Florida, after a week of unpropitous weather. A team captained by Frank Frisch yes- terday beat Heinie Groh's nine, 6 to 1. Bad weather also has interfered with the practice of the Athletics at Montgomery, Alabama. Rain held the Boston Red Sox in- doors yesterday at San Antonio. The winter camp of the Chicago Amert- cans at Winter Haven, Florida, is haunted by the fear that manager Frank Chance will be unable to join the team before the opening of the season in the north next month.

They eat with en- thustasm, but not with greed, There lg none of the “bring it all to me” about them. Some ball players when they enter a dining room, begin to form their lips before they get half wey to their seats, ready to say “bring me everything you've’ got, George,” and they mean it, too. Ty Cobb says pall players. of that type are not so common sinca the wer. Ball players have changed a loc since then, according to t Viger manager.

The Detroits ure a cozy corner team. That Is the Kind of a team ove: which old managers never srow weary of talking, A cozy cor- ner team is one that gets down in one corner of ths lobby of 4 hotel, lights up pipes and begina to tall baseball.

Of the new plichers Detroit has taken on, there {s one of whom the Tigers speak respectfully thus ear! He is Whitehill, a southpaw, who finds himself higher up than he e: pected to be so early in life, White- hit has the massiveness of a right kander in his upper chest notes, whereas many left handers are slight. Whitehill is lke Dauss in build and Dauss end his shoulders have done a great deal in thelr way tu uphold Detroit. The Detroit players say that Whitehill has a curve like Dauss.

His name is Col * “He may be the best left hander in the American league in 1924,” said a visitor. “Maybe he is," said one of the Tigers. “Maybe he ts right now.

MINOR SPORTS ARE ELIMINATED Distinction Wiped Out At Cornell; All Are Merged: By LAWRENCE PERRY. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, March 13.—Minor sports as such no longer exist at Cornell. They have been merged with the major sports organization and hereafter there will be no dis- tinctions between sports at the Ithaca university as to their being of major or minor importance. In- vestigation of this action, however, brings to\Mght the fact that it will not produce a change in the sports themselv unless indeed some transformation in relative status develops among the students. There is a great in a name, and in course of time the very absence of the minor designation may affect the undergraduate estimate of some of the sports formerly so classed. None the less the change at Cor- nell {s essentially a fiscal one. What will happen latter remains to be seen. For that matter what assurance is there at any univer- sity that the four sports now re- garded as major,’ vise, football, crew, track and baseball will always occupy chief place in the under- graduate esteem? As a matter of fact . basketball, hockey, lacrosse, and soccer are various classed as of major importance at various in- stitutions. It would seem that interest on the part of students, alumni and the public are chiefly, if not solely, in- fluential In defining a sport as of major or minor importance. Cornell would take another step forward now were she to hold that the student who wins a position upon a team in any sport whatever is entitled to the varsity letter. Thus at one stroke would be done away a lot of hocus pocus and un- just and indefensible standards. piers teenie? sce sy ama Coughs-Colds-“Flu” Watch out for “Flu” and pneu- monia now.

COMING TO FRONT IN FIGHTING AT GOTHAM By HENRY L. FARRELL. (United Press Sports Editor.) NEW YORK, March 13.—{United Press.}—-Two young middleweights, Paul Berlenbach and Jimmy Slat- tery, seem to be destined now to be the only survivors of the promising bunch of youthful boxers who have come out in the last year. Both Berlenbach and Slattery have jumped out into prominence almost over night, and there reasons to believe that they are due to stay there. been written lately Berlenbach, the former amateur wrestler of the New York Athletic club, and instead ‘of help- ing him the publicity has retarded his development. Berlenbach became famous as a deadly puncher before he had the opportunity to get any education in the ring, and now, when he should be under cover, taking on t-ups: and learning from the good old ex- perience school, the youngster {s being featured in Madison Square game is very popular with the stu-| arden and the fans are expecting dents, n icted by a professional kn The photograph shows { ft the phi four of of him everything that only a veteran could have acquired. Dempsey did not make his real debut until he was ready to go. He came out into prominence as prac- tically a finished fighter, but Ber- lenbach commanded such attention from the very start that he was forced to learn the alphabet of his business in front of critical crowds of Garden fans. It may do the boy a lot of good, however, to be learning the busi- ness under the brightest Ughts in the game. He can hit terrifically and he will knockout any man he hits. He has a most striking disposition under fire, and although the ques- tion is being raised about his game ness when he has to take it, he has shown that he is there. Although it isn't generally known, he was stopped the first time he put on the gloves. Fred Krebs, a Jersey amateur middleweight, gave him such a beating that the referee stopped the fight in the third round to save him from more punishment. Berlenbach seems to have so much stuff that he can't fail to deliver. His welght has him at a disadvan- tage now because he is just between a middleweight and a light heavy- weight. Jack Dempsey perhaps had 100 original and bonafide discoverers, and it ts interesting to hear of all the claima made by those who first saw in Berlenbach the makings of a fighter, Berlenbach may have had several discoverers, but the man who started him in the boxing game was Hugh McQuillan, one of the leading pitchers of the Giants, who lives in the same neighborhood in Astoria. Berlendach was telling Hughey one night that he was getting tired of the wrestling racket, and Me- Quillen suggested that he go to the Knights of Columbus center in As- torla and put on the gloves. He nd he has had them on ever eee It is not known generally, per- haps, that ,Berlenbach lost his hear- ing and speech when he was very young and had to be sent to an institution to learn the sign lan- guage. He was a “dummy” for several years, and he recovered his faculties by a remarkable accident. He picked up a live wire and, al- though he was almost knocked off, he recovered his hearing and speech. eee Jimmy Slattery, a 19-year-old boy from Buffalo, has had up-state New Yorkers talking about him for some time.

Strib- ling’s advantage of experience saved him from being knocked out in the sixth round. Ad Stone, the Philadelphia lUght heavyweight, has developed to the point where he needs nothing but @ punch to become a sure-shot for the championship. Hoe is so light and fast on his feet that he works like a bantamweight, and under the circumstances he does not set him- self for a punch. He has every qualification now for a title, with the exception of finishing punch, and he may acquire that, as he ts only 21 years old and is not fully developed, cee Louis Vicentini, the Chilean light- weight, was one of the recent de- velopments of promise.
