was virtually matched yesterday to
defend his title against Georgie
Marks in a fifteen round boat at
Madison Square Garden on Feb-3
ruary 8. The terms have been
agreed upon and if Frank llhuichill,
manager of Villa, finds that the
little Filipino came out of his fight
with Mike Moran in Pittsburgh last
night without any serious injury
the papers will be signed today.
which will clinch the titular match
beyond a doubt.
Villa's rise to pugilistle h-rights
has been nothing short of pheno-
menal. Coming to this country a.
little more than two years ago from
the Phillippines, where he had been
a sensation, Villa had 4. hard time
convincing the promoters that he
ctuid deliver the goods. Finally
Silvery Burns gave him a chance
over in the Oakland A. A. in Jer-
sey City. and from his very first
start, the little visitor from out is]
ands in the Pacific m:.do good.
Villa was a great attraction in Jer-
soy during the summer of l92?. and
flrally the New York promoters
woke up and he was given a. chance
to show his stuff on the can: side
of the Hudson.
\‘illa won the flywcight ti‘le by
defeating Jim‘nly \Vildo of England
in tho'I’olo Grounds last summer.
Smce that time Pancho has defend-

sides engaging in many c'mtenr out
of town, where his title was not in
jeopardy. Villa is one of the big—
gest cards in the fight gamr in
other cities, and all winter ha- had
more offers than he :oul-l handle.
Concerning bcrlcnllach.
Many persons are of tll‘: opinion
that Paul Borienbach should be
matched with a real fig‘nie. and
stop meeting the setups whom he
hafi been taking on in the past But
Dan Hickey, who is hindllng the
latest sensation on the relic .hori—
zon, is not of this opinion. and in a
talk with Frank Flour-Loy yester-
day gave some very good reasons
for not agreeing w_ith sone r! the
critics.
"I am very thankful to the news-
papermen," said Hickcv yes'crday
"for the many fine things they have
written about my fighter. but I want
to say one thing, this pause is not
going to affect Berlenbrica :n the
least, and despite the fact that
some persons are crying for Paul to
be put to the test I intend to bring
him along in the manner which
think is best.
“Berlenbach has fought but
twenty-two fights in his C'll‘e’T and
only six of these have been with
professionals. Can you tell nw‘. why
a fighter with such :imited exper-
ience should be forced to take on

will find acuity of opportunity for
worry and work when he take; stock
of his 'fltching staff. This important
department without strength in
which no club can expect to get
very fair is pretty well riddled with
the drafting of Ray Joyce and the
recall of Davenport and Hyman by
ton
ively.
Just'thrce names appear on'the
active Tlistof New Haven pitchers.
’they' as Stan Baumgartner, Axel
Lin m and Johnny Tillman. If
Baumgartner is finally sold. which
was expected before the fatal
Twentieth Century crash. it will
mean a still further gap to be filled.
However. the fans reflect that
even a. worse situation confronted
the local powers last year. but they
erged with a stat! which made up
in quality what it lacked in quan-
tity. Three left-handers. Baumgart—
ner, Hyman and Davenport each
won 20 or more games a. wonderful
recordrfor consistency by pitchers
on one club. Only the injury to
Joyce prevented that hurler from
duplicating their rformance and
undoubtedly coppi the pennant.
President Weiss admitted last
night and there was still a very good
prospect of Baumgartner being sold,
but added that if this should be the
case other pitching talent would be
sought-in the deal. The big south- .
deserves to advance if over
anyon ' id on the merit of his work
last £11. He won 21 and lost but
10 gain for an earned average of
only 3.76. He fanned 107 men and
gave but 54 bases on balls. no wild
pitches, a remarkable example of
pitching control particularly for a
southpaw. He fielded his position
without-an error for the season. and
hit well both in the outfield and
when on the ound.
To partly make up for the loss of
southpaw pitching strength “'eiss
admitted that he had hopes of in-
ducing Bill McKenty who has ~been
on the looal list for three years, to
report. McKinty lives in Philadel-
phia and does not wish to leave that
city but it is hoped to bring proper
pressure to bear on him. He is rated
as big league calibre and in the past
couple of seasons three big league
clubs have been interested in secur-
ing him but he has refused to leave
