Shmvs Endurance
, The slim young Buffalo boxer
‘ took enough to sink a battleship
”after Berlenbach had rammed him
, against the ropes with right and
left hands working like the piston
rods of a giant engine. The won-
der is that lattcry ever survived
, that mauling and pounding. He
,' put both arms around Bcrlcnbach‘s
waist in an effort to hold himself
fro'mthe floor. There was a wild.
dazed look in Slattery's eyes with a
growing wclt on the right side of
his face. He was almost out at the
'end of the second and almost out
" through the third. where he was
unable to escape Berlcnbach's slow
but savage pursuit.
Just when Slaticry was taking his
heaviest beating. just when he was
' on the point of dipping into poppy
' land . Slattery rallied with only a
'tew seconds left and came back
with fine courage to start a mild as-
sault of his own. It wasn't much
' of an assault. but it was enough to
' show that his heart was still in the
right place.
Siattery's unexpected rally upon
the edgepf the precrpice found on:
couraging voices from his many
.friends and when he came back for
“"an even stand in the fourth. keep-
‘ing out of danger until his head had
cleared from the terrific drubbing
it had taken. he was a new fighter
' starting the fifth. It was in this
' round that the tide of the battle
‘ swung swiftly and suddenly the
other way.
Turns on Paul. '
From a battered and a
[man the Buffalo boxer suddenly
turned on Berlcnbach with fine
‘ speed. skill and courage. jabbing
him with a. left and men crossing
‘zwith a hard right which drove the
Astorlan reeling away. Berlenbach
' was badly upset by this change of
j front. He was quite bewildered and
- about the middle of the round Slat-
tery let fly a clean, hard right that
,« had Berlcnbac'n groggydn his turn.
The crowd that had claniored for o.
Berlenbach kill a few rounds before
now clamorcd just as loudly for s.
Slattery triumph. And Slattery now
.was riding high. .
Dancing in and out, jabbing away
with right and left. always keeping
out of range with his greater speed
and his better skill. he was on his
‘ way to the big return after his de-
> feet by Shade. Through the greater
‘ part of each round from the non
" through the ninth Siattery contin-
' use to pile up a big lead. Here and
. there he had Berlenbach half dizzy
with quick. hard punches. But all
the time he was out of danger, tie-
Ing Berienbach up or keeping well
‘ out of range.
" Pursuit Finally Ends. ,
, All this long. determined pursuit
had to and somewhere. Even the
light-footed and the gallant-hearted
Siattery couldn't dance away for-
ever. Early in the ten round, with
Slattery still piling uphis lead. Ber-
enbach found his first reward. He
(1' slashed away‘ continually at
Slattcry's body or head with that

“landed. The first landed in the pit
‘ of the stomach. and .all the wind
that Siattery ever had in his system
"flew out. Before he could get
away another left caught him on
the lav. and this double salvo was
the beginning of the end.
These two quick and powerful
punches won‘the fight. Siattery
reeled into a dosed clinch as Berlen-
mil pounded away, and finally.
with a half punch and a half ham-
morlock. the champion sent the
«challenger sprawling to the floor. It
was. half a. wrestling match at this

LOSS OF COLLINS
What one star player means to a
bail club was conclusively proved by
the recent injury to Eddie Collins
of the White Sox.
Since the oponlngcf the 1925 sea-
son, Collins. as manager. has kept
the tail-end Chicago team of lost
your in the first division.
A month ago it seemed a certain-
ty that the White Sox wouldilnlsh
third. This would have been the
most remarkable managerial
achievement of this year.
Theli‘cslne the important xseries

with it a leg injury that forced-Col-
lins to retire to the bench.
His absence from the lineupvwss
immediately. felt. The club slumped
and there is a. possibility that it, will
have to fight its hardest to stick in
the first division.
Colilnsby his handling of the Chi-
cago club. was proved that he is a
great manager. The slump of his
club on his retirement from the
lineup proves that he 'is even s
greater asset as a player.

FIGHT HERMAN
1 UNTIL 1 WINTER
Malaria .Hanging on,
Manager Says, and
Hand Is Not Mend-
ing So Well .
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.——Humbert
.l'. Fugazy. Charley Henderson and
Jimmy Johnston are advised to quit
angling for the return titular feath-
erweight duel between Louis (Kid)
Kaplan and Babe Herman. because
there is no possible chance of the
former fighting again until the in-
door season.
From no better authority than
Scotty Montleth. part-manager of
the champ. comes the information
that Kaplan is still laid up for re-
pairs. '
“Louis is laid up with malaria and
the left hand he injured in the Wa—
terbury fight is not mending as fast
as we thought it should."'dlsclosed
the wily Scotchman.
‘ "There is no possible ' chance of
Kaplan fighting outdoors this year.
He will be glad to tackle Herman
around December some time. That's
all I can say right now."
Which leads to the belief that
Tex Rickard has the match sewed
up for his New Garden around De-
cember 18.
Jimmy Kelly. Herman’s mana-
ger. was willing to sign with any of
the three promoters. He refused to
do so. however. until Kaplan's mana-
gers put their monickers on the
dotted line.
With‘the Kaplan‘ thing off for the
time being Kelly is arranging three
matches for his protege. He expects
to close all three today.
