The uGreb bout seems the more
liable. Berlenbach is signed to
tight King Solomon Oct. 6 for the
Jewish Maternity Hospital Fund at
the“ Polo Grounds and could hard~
y, beoxpeeted to undertake a match
with Walkerbr any other boxer
during the remainder of thé out:
door boxing enterprises. An adm-
onal argument against the pros-
pect. of a Walker-Berlenbach bout
3' outdoors is the definite announCe-
ment frOm Promoter Rickard that
he will undertake no more shows
during this outdoor season.
, Shade spent most of yesterday at
his home. The challenger, accotding
0 his manager, Um I’. Illynn. was
unharmed after the hard fifteen~
round battle which ended in a de-
lsion for Walker. and is eager for
nether chance at the title, convinc-
d of his own supciiotity oxer the
:hampion and that he was the vic-
tim of a poor decision. He is confi-
dent he can demonstrate his super-
ority if he gain gets Walker into
a ring. Flynn shared the conviction
f Shade, that the challenger was
the victim of an unjustified decision
and declared his ieadincss to accept
another match with Walker. for
hich he is prepared to sign innue-
diately.

From a financial standpoint the
fight was not a bowling. success.
Promoter Rickard yesterday dis-
closed that 82.000 persons paid
gross receipts of $185,160.40 to see
the title scrap. The net receipts
amounted to about $150,006.80.
Walker. it is said. worked under an
arrangement whereby he received
the equivalent of a $100,000 guaran-
tee, with a privilege of 60 per cent.
or the receipts. shade was on a
percentage basis and received in the
neighborhood of 326,000. When
other expenses and incidentals are
paid for, the bout probably will
show a deficit.
The decision was the sole topic
of discussion yesterday in boxing
circles. Seldom has so wide a dif-
ference of opinion existed on an im-
portant ring battle. The majority of
the spectators left the stadium pro-
testing the decision to Walker. or
disagreeing with the verdict which
deprived . Shade of what many
thought was a merited victory. The
decision went to Walker on the
votes of Referee Patsy Haley and
Judge Dick Nugent. George Kelly.

the bout ballots yesterday reveal-
cd.
This difference of opinion extend-
ed the critics nt the ringside to a
more pronounced dégree than is
generally evidenced. Walker's great
offensive fighting, his sustained
pace on the attack and the accur-
acy and force of his blows. entitled
the champion to the decision. in

That the decision will be accep-

The All Norwalk football team

ous season which the management
is preparing for them. Not in years
if .evcr, has Norwalk had so prom-

team which Coach Brennan is weld-
ing together to represent this city
can be classed with the fowmost
professional eleveus of Connecticut.
’l‘heic will be four local men on the
club and Co ach Brennan is highly
eluted with their showing to date.
No expense has been spared to make
this a winning combination and six
of the foremost college stars of the
country have been added to the ros-
ter. Amusement Park will be fitted
up for the opening game which will
take place Sunday October 4.
The team is being equipped with
all new p.11aphanalia and expects to
make a fine appearance when they
trot out for the‘ opening whistle.
James Donneliy is supplying ov-
erythlng for the ctub this season and
the management has disregarded
expense here also inasmuch as they
have instructed Mr. Donnelly to get
the best obtainable. The Norwulk
eleven will appear in Brown Jerseys.

39th H ole Decides
Game—Sarazen Out
CHICAGO. s'ept. 23.-—-The crash-
ing of Gene 'Sarazcn, titleholde‘r in
1923 and again in 1923. .and the
near dcfcatof Walter Hagen. dc-
fonding champion, were the high
lights of the first days' match play
in the P. G. A. championship at
the Olympia Fields Country club
yesterday.
Sarazen. who first. came intona-
tional prominence through his de-
feat of Jock Hutchlson in the pro-
fessional championship at Inwood in
1920. was eliminated by Jack Burke.
former St. Paul professional, who is
now located in Texas. It was one of
the most humiliating defeats ever
administered to the little New York-
er. Burke's margin being 8 and 7.
The defeat of Sarazen and all the
other resultsdn the ‘openlng round
matches hcre palcd into insignifi-
cancc, however, compared with the
great. struggle that'l-Iagen and Al
Watrous. Grand Rapids (Mich)
professional. waged.
From the time that the first drive
was hit in the morning until the
last putt was dropped in on the
thirty ninth green the match was "
nip and tuck. At one stages! the
match. along about the fourteenth
hole. it. looked as if Watrous would
surely win. He was down going to
the seventeenth hole. but he quit
the field of battle only 2 down at
noon '
_ Then began one of the greatest
battles ever waged in a P. G. A.
tournament. It was a battle that
was marked by as courageous fight-
ing and superb playing as has ever
course. a battle that did not end
until the third- extra hole. where
Watrous collapsed and gave Hagen
a victory. that'no one . believed he
would win.
It was here that Watrous. after
having rallied to square the' match
on the home green after having suc-
ceeded in getting halves on the first
two holes only after hard struggles,
threw his chances to the four winds
by pushing his drive into the rough.
Higball was lying none too well and
he ovorplayed the green. the ball
rolling down a steep embankment
into a terrible lie. His recovery was
too strong. while his fourth fan ten
feet past the hole, and he missed the
putt for s. 5. Hagen. more fortunate
