' State Athletic Commission Sanctions Bout—Will Be
Held At Ebbets Field
Scrap Is Changed.
Paul Iicrlenbach. who is fast
breaking all modern records for
championship fighting activity, will
battle his foremost rival. Jack De-
lsnsy. or Bridgeport. in defense of
the world's light hesi'ywelght titlt
on July 15 at Ebbets Field.
The date and place for the match
wore find yesterday by Promoter
Humbert Fughazy after a confer-
ence with the State Athletic com
nil-ion Originally the bout was
slated for June 22. but this date
was erased because of its proximity
title bout with
young Stribling last Friday.
Fughazy considered obtaining the
Polo Grounds for the fight because
of ils greater seating capacity but
decided in favor of Ebbets Field.
homo of. the Brooklyn National
League Baseball club. where or-
rangements will be made to handle
a crowd of 60.000 A price scale of
88 to 827 50 will prevail for tickets
with the commission' s approval.
‘Delaney and Berlenbach' .have
fought. twice before. The former
Berlenbach in the
fourth round in 1924, in their first
bout. No came close to repeating
the trick last December at Madi-
IOn Squari- Garden but Berlcnbsch
rallied nml pulled victory out of the
fire to suit. the title.
Tris Speaker, Cleveland manager,
also figured in the day's events in
a decidedly unusual manner.
The event was designated as
"Speaker Day." to honor the famous
manager of the Indians. a rather be-
lated testimonial to the fact that he
was the most valuable player in the
American League in 1912.
When the most valuable player
scheme was inaugurated by the
club managers
were made ineligible. This prevent~
ed some of the'greatest stars of the
game. like Cobb. Speaker, Collins
and others from being so honored.
”Years ago. a similar plan known.
earths Chalmers trophy, "was the
vague and in 1912 Speaker received
that award. The honor was simply
brought up to date in tits recent
"Speaker Day" game. ‘
Eddie Collins, best of second-sack-
ers and Tyrus ' Cobb, rated the
greatest bail player of all time. are
to be honored a la. Spcakcr later in
the season.
To round out an afternoon 'of
freak happenings. Ilube Lutzke
completed an unassisted double
play, tile like of which I have never
seen during my 21 years' connec-
tion with the American League.
With one out. Bob Meusel on sec-
ond and Lazzeri at bat Lutzke went
into action.

GREB WINS .
OVER GANS
WILKES-BARRE. Pa.. June 16.
-—-Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh. .‘ormer
middleweight champion. won the
decision over Allentown Joe Gone in
ten rounds here last night.
The former champion had an
easy time winning the unanimous
verdict of Referee Frank McCracken
of Philadelphia. and two Judges.
Gnns was credited by sport writers
with only one or two rounds.
There were few hard blows land-
ed. Greb was the aggressor at all
times and kept Gaus so busy with ll.
flurry of gloves that the Negro had
no chance to land his dangerous
right. Greb's best punch was a
short right jab to the chin. which
he landed five times after signaling
that the punch was coming, and
each time surprising Gene by mak-
ing good on the threat.
In a six-round preliminary. Jack
Windsor of Pittsburgh. was disquali-
fied in the fifth round for rough tac-
tics against Fighting Johnny of Old
Forge, Pa. .
t

sure out if he continued on to third

Lutslte touched Meusel out when

he would be retired if he continued
on his way, rctracod his steps to
first.
Lutzke gave chase. Both slid into
first base asLutzke made a last ef-
font to touch Lazzeri with the ball.
The Yankees’ second-seeker overslid
the bane and-was out
Lutzke had complged a double
play unassisted, retiringr‘runners at

Took Charge In 1008
In the spring of 1903 Ten Eyck
went to the Orange institution. Jim
was 58 then.
Today. at 76. he is still coaching
crews at Syracuse.
Time seems to have made little
difference to .the man responsible
for the famous "Ten Eyck stroke,”
a "sweep" known wherever» rowing
He's the same old Jim—nearly as
active and certainly as enthusiastic
as he was the day he first shouted
instructions through a Syracuse
megaphone.
Down through the years Jim Ten
Eyck has turned out some notable
varsity boats. True, he hasn't met
with unusual. or. I might say. con-
sistent success. But sprinkled here
and there has come a Ten Eyck
crew stout enough to win the great—
est of collegiate rowing events—the
Poughkeepsie regatta.
Five times the Orange colors have
flashed over the iinish line first in
the eight-cured clash under Ten
Eyck dynasty, the last being in 1020.
On another occasion Jim's charges
landed second. Jim also has four
thirds. fourths and fifths to his
credit. Last. June the Orange pad-
dlers came in sixth, the poorest
showing a Ten Eyck-coached shell
ever made. The 1907 boat went to
the bottom.
In 1901 and 1902. inst previous to
Ten Eyck's arrival, Syracuse wound
up in fifth place. In Jim's first sea-
son the Orange landed again. But
1904 brought Syracuse's initial tri-
umph in the historic classic. Thus
it took the famous mentor just two
years to revamp a fifth position boat
into a winner.
This season Syracuse can not be
figured as a dangerous contender.
Not with such strong crews as Navy,

Jim is the last of the once famous
