NEW YORK. July 23.—-—Paul
Berlenbneh. of Astoria. L. 1.. world's
light heavyweight champion. will
meet his ancient enemy, Jack De~
laney. of Bridgeport. in a 15 round
title match at the Yankee Stadium.
August 28. Tex Ilickard announced
yesterday. Supporting this cham-
pionship match Rickard is angling
to match Mike Mc'l‘igue. former
world's light heavyweight cham-
pion. with Jimmy Slattery. of Buf-
falo, N. Y.. and Tommy Loughran,
of Philadelphia, with Tiger Flow-
ers. of Atlanta. Ga., in two ten
rounders.
Delaney is the stumbling block
over which Berlenbach tripped
when the latter was traveling to the
heights of one of the most impres-
sive knockout careers in the history
of the fistlc game. It was on the
night of March 14. 1924. at Madison
Square Garden when Berlenbach
felt the sting of one of Delaney's
rightsfim his jaw and was knocked
out for the first time in his career.
Previous to this upset, Berlenbach
had piled up a total of 23 consecu-
tive knockouts. numbering among
his victims some of the best mid-
dlewwights outside of the select cir-
cle of champions.
Bad Supporters.
Berlenbach entered the ring for
his match with Delaney a top heavy
favorite owing to his record but Do-
laney. backed by hundreds of sup-
porters from Bridgeport who had
confidence in his ability to stop Bor-
lenbach. upset the dope and floored
the former amateur for the count
of ten. ‘ Attempts to rematch the
two have failed in the put owing
to Berlenbach's match with Me-
Tigue which resulted in a change
of the 175 pound title.
Delaney has fully as impressive I
record as his rival. Except for two
six round defeats at the hands of
Jimmy Slattery. of Buffalo. N. Y..
Delaney's record‘ is clean since his
fight with Berlenbach.
The remainder of the card sought
by Rickard will bring together old
friends in the middleweight and
light heavyweight divisions. Slat-
tery. who reaches his 21st birthday
two days before the scheduled
match, will fight his first fight. OVer

his age holding him to s. six round
limit on previous occasions. This
will also mark Slattory’s.first ap-
pearance in a. New York ring since
his defeat at the hands of Dave
Shade. of California. at the Polo
Grounds. July 2.
The Loughran-FloWors match
will bring together two, prominent
middleweights who stand ‘out in the
outer circle of championship con-
tenders.

(Are we at last getting the real
line on the situation existing be-
tween Jack Dempsey. heavyweight
champion of the world—including
New York State-—and Jock Kearns.
the man who led him to the title?
Dempsey's recent statement that
he will manage his own fights in
the future and simply give Kearns
the share his contract calls for un-
til that contract runs out. indicates
as much.

This statement at least verifies
the feeling that all is not congenial
between the champ and lKearns.
This friction has been denied re-
peatedly. especially by Kearns.
Dempsey's move in signing with
Tex Rickard for two fights—dates
and opponents yet to be named—
would indicate that it wasn't
Kcarns' belief the champion would
never re-enter the ring that caused
Kearns to seek a new meal ticket
in Mickey Walker.
The rumor that Dempsey's Euro-
psan trip was a flop financially
does not furnish an explanation for
his alleged change of heart.
I dOn’t believe that Dempsey ever
intended to leave the ring game
flat. Both he and Kearns were
alive to the fact that the raising of
such a rtimor would draw consider-
‘. able publicity. And both are awake

to the value of keeping a champion
before the public eye.
Whether or not Dempsey can go
through with his plan to manage
his own affairs and simply pay
Kcarns his split until their agree-
ment expires remains to be seen.
Kearns will stand upon his rig ts.
He no doubt will be alive to
loss of prestige such a proceeding
would cost him.
But the men have severed their
Damon and Pythlas relations. And
the break came when the rumors
first cropped out. Which was co-
incident with De'mpsey's engage-
ment.
Now. what the break was about
is the next question to be cleared
up. .
O O I \
The American Olympic commit-
tee has received the suggestion
from some of the managers and
coaches of the delegation that rep-
resented the United States in the
Paris games last year that here-
after wives of contestants be ex-
cluded from such trips.
The ungallant gentlemen aver
that the presence of the wives com-
plicates matters both in the work
of the athletes and the retention
of harmony in the ranks.
This is in line with the attitude
of baseball club owners who have
always tried to’ discourage the pres-
ence of wives of players .on road
trips taken by the clubs. Justiy or
unjustly. friction among the players
of the club has been laid from time
to time to the presence of the bet-
ter halves and innocent criticisms
they have made.
Much of this is unfair to the la-
dies. but I do recall one case ,where
officials of a major league team
wished that the feminine contingent
had been left behind. That team
blew into Indianapolis one year for
an ambition game. The cab driver
who led the women members of
the pa y from the depot tried to
be politl'e and unloaded them at a
side entrance that they might avoid
the crowd of fans. This entrance.
however. led them pest s. barroom
door. This so incensed one of the
wives that she promptly took her
station in the middle of \the hotel
lobby and announced that her hus-
band wouldn't play for such a ball
club. It took officials 10 minu'
to calm her.

Speaking of the Yankees, the
move of Huggins and Ruppert in
shifting “Hooks" Wiltso from
coaching to scouting activities is
already bearing fruit. Viltso has
already acquired a line on several
good pitching prospects for the
team. One of them is Sam Wernko,
star hurler of the Hamilton team
of the Michigan-Ontario league.
Wernke seems to be the class of
the league. All efforts to get the
team to let him go before the close
of the present season have proved
unavailing so he will report to the
Yankees when the M- 0 league coa-
son ends.

fore the mitt fans. A total of 34
rounds of milling has been booked.
but followers of the ring game
hardly expect the bill to last that
long as there is an excellent pros-
pect of knockouts ending at least
two of the encounters.
Those familiar with the punch-
ing power of Rock Smith and who
happened to see him when be last
met Leonard. will recall that the
Michigan boxer had the Shiek in o.
bad way before he accidentally foul-
ing. Since that time Leonard has
become vastly more skilled in «tho
use' of his mittens and lands with
impressive power.
‘ Tin Shel has not lost a' fight
since Docs ber of last year, and he
is determined to maintain this re-
cord‘desplts the fact that he will be
facing one of the most formidable
boys-at 152 pounds who has been
fighting in this part of the east. The
scrap is carded for twelve rounds
to win by a decisive margin there is
small likelihood that it Will go the
full distance.
The semi-final scrap is well we h
of being rated as a. final on y
card of less prominence as it brings
together Georgie Day and Larry
Roach of Newark in a ten round go
at 181 pounds. Day and Reach
fought once before and on that ,oc-
caslon the referee called the affair
updraw although many of those who
saw the hostilities thought Roach
determined to win tomorrow night
to regain some of his slipping pres-

with that end in view. Regardless
of the outcome. it is ours to be a
whale ofsa fight while it lasts.
The preliminary meeting between
Phil Mercurio and Murrsy Gitlits.

for six rounds. will also be some-
thing to write home to the folks

New Rochelle, has made himself
well liked hero in his previous bouts,
