(Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—Paul Ber- lenbach and Harry Greb is the plum that Tex Rickard is trying to pick just now. There appears to be no trouble ubout Greb, who is always willing to meet them, big or little. But just now Dan Hickey, Berlen- bach's manager, is coy. Not because he is afraid to let his man meet Greb; oh, no! For, with Paul's body punch- ing ability and Greb’s manner of coming in, the chances are that Berley would knock out his smaller opponent. But where two champions are in- volved, the money angle is import- ant and Hickey would want to be sure that Greb, who, of course, would want to be assured of the larger purse, got his share. * 4 Berlenbach and Delaney wifl meet again in the great outdoors—next summer. That is the tip that is wafting through the main thorofares and back alleys of upper New York. There will be a crowd on hand, too; for the belief is that next time th two meet, Berlenbach will make the French Canadian think he is in bed in the bird house at the Brox x00, Others think differently. Honest. dif- ference of opinion is what makes a sporting event lucrative for promo- ters and principals. Meanwhile Astoria Paul is sitting pretty. Paul, as all know, started life as a wrestler, Dan Hickey gob- bled him up; told him it was a shame for him to rust away in the wrestling game. The coin was to be found in the boxing ring. Berlenbach. listened. to. the wise words and put on the gloves. > Gonzaga Seeks Grid Opponent For Big Fete SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 15.—(@) —Gonzaga university is seeking a midwestern opponent for a football game here next October 30, as the feature of the annual Hallowe'en celebration. it was announced, Nego- tlations will be opened with half a dozen colleges, college officials said.

BROWN. ‘The busy town of Mobile, Ala., which has seen many a big league club prepped for the annual melee and has harbored a battling team in the Southern Association for many @ hectic campaign, will have a new pilot for its ball club the coming season. For Duffy Lewis, one of the members of that famous old out- fielding trio of Lewis, Speaker and Hooper of the once glorious Red Sox, has been signed as manager ior 1926. Lewis goes to the Mobile team with a record as a suceesaful pilot on the Pacific coast, whither he wended his way when his playing days in the big league show ended with a brief career with Washing- ton. Duffy managed the Salt Lake City club in the Pacific Coast Ieegue.in 1971-22-23 and 24 and for the latter part of 1935 \cam- paign was boss of the Portland club. Lewis dia not confine his ac- tivities to managerial ones, either. He led the coast league in batting at times and his avetages for the ‘four seasons with the saft city team Were .403, .356, .365, .393. While Duffy may have lost con- siderable of the speed that made him a great outfielder and a fast man on the bases he still retains enough to play fast minor league ball—thanks to his baseball brains. Lewis served on the brilliant Bos- ton teams which won the league flag in 1915, 1916 and 1918. The war interrupted hig diamond activities. When hostilities were over Lewis figured in a wholesale trade between the Red Sox and the Yanks which sent him, Dutch Leonard and Ernie Shore to the Big Town tn exchange for half a dozen Yankee hopefuls and hopelesses and some Gough. Lewis served the Yanks well when they needed a steady, out: fielder and a dependable hitter. Finally, however, the veteran drift: ed to Washington and then out of the big time. Some of Lewis’ acquaintances may recall that his baseball life QUESTION | BOX — If you have some question ask about baseball, football, box: ing OF any other amateur or pro fessiopal sport— Write to Jolin B, Foster, on naseball, Lawrence Perry, on amateur sports, and Fair Play on Loge dhoy? other professional sports. =e cial correspondents of- the Gasper Tribune, 814 World Building, New Tork.

Harry Yancey was first of all a “good fellow." His so-called profes- sion was distinctly secondary with him. He remained a member of the legal firm of Engel, Lanning and Yancey because he was Noble Har- wood’s friend. If old Joe Engel hadn't been afraid he would lose the National Azle and Bearing co., as a client he would have “kicked him out” long ; for keeping the com- Peny’s legal business in the firm's hands was about all, in his estima- tion, Harry Yancy was good for. Joe Engel and Dan Lanning spent ten hours 2 day in their offices, and Har. ty Yancey was in his whenever there wasn’t any other place to go. Harry was not, however, an idler. Invar- fably, when the chamber of com- merce wanted funds, it made Harry Yancey one of the captains of the Grive. When the Red Cross wanted money, or the Y. M. C.

The man who delivered most of the Elks Christmas packets was Harry Yancey, The mayor, when he neéd: ed a delegate to attend something or other, had one choice only. What- ever else men in Central City sald about him, they admftted that after all, he was a “good fellow." Not without. discernment, Harry Yancey knew that he remained a member of the firm of Engel, Lan- ning and Yancey because of his high Place jn the esteem of Noble Har- wood, and that it was for the same reason he had the respect, however reluctant, of Central City’s business men.

Center MXEGHNIE TO MAKE CHANGES Winhing Combination to Be Upset by Coming Of Paul Waner. By JOHN B. FOSTER. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—Bill Mc- Kechnie's world championship out- fit may be broken up next spring to make a place for Paul Waner, the Pacific’ coast slugger, if Waner comes through as he hopes to after his winter vacation in Oklahoma which he spends swatting the ball: It isn't often that a baseball man- ager will change a winning combi- nation until after he is compelled to by a slump af one or more players. But McKechnie takes the ground that wasting a year or two of the best playing period of a star for the sake of what really fs a superstition, fs not good for the player or for the team which carried him. If Waner comes through, the out- field combination for 1926 wil be Waner, Carey and Cuyler, with Barnhart in reserve as a pinch hit ter, pinch outfielder and pinch in- tlelder, for he can play the infleld pretty well. ‘The combination of Waner, Carey and Cuyler may give the 1926 Pi- rates a batting average of about .350. And that figure would not be lkely to suffer much if Barnhart went in for one of the regular trio. Barn: hart was the best timely batter of the Pirates last season. In the World Series he finally managed to get go- ing when the remainder of the Pi: ates started and his finish was quite as creditable as that of his fellows. There is only one little fault with Barnhart. He is not quite so active on his feet as his fellows. Waner has one little fault, too, but his can be corrected easily, while Barnhart's can not. Waner's fault is that he shifts his batting stance he can hit around .400 and meets the ball most of the time on the nose. Batting from one angle one day and from another the next and constantly changing the gtip on the bat is not g00d baseball, just the same. ponnnlinis ott ba hea STECHER AND LONDOS DRAW LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 15.— AM—Iog Stecher, Nebraskan, today still retained a claim to the world's heavyweight wrestling champion- ship, although he found the flying headlock holds of Jim Londos a ser- fous menace last night when he wrestled a draw with the Creek in @ two-hour time limit match.
