Hi Paul Berlenbach. at. Ebbetg
Field. last evening. until tonight. It
rained so hard over in the City of
Churches that a swimming meet
would have been in order at the
home of the Brooklyn Dodgers in-
stead of a boxing match.
Unless Jupe gets fresh the pro-
gram will be run off as per schedule
this evening. The rain continued
throughout the night and it was
doubtful this morning that the bout
would be held tonight. In accord-
ance with an agreement made be-
tween Mr. Fugazy and the New
York Boxing Commission yesterday
it it continues to rain tonight. the
show will be run off tomorrow eve-
iiing.
A large delegation of fans from
Bridgeport and Norwaik including
yours truly had landed in Brooklyn
before the bout had been called off.
Luckily for about 1.500 Bridgeport
is the special train had not left
h ark City before the postpone-
ent was made.
There was considerable surprise
ever the weight of Delaney. When
the boys stepped on the scale at tho
Flatiron building at 2 o'clock Jack
tipped the beams at 106 1-2 pounds.
while Berienbach registered 174 1-4.
It was expected that the Bridgeport
rcitt artist would weigh in at about
172 and the fear was expressed that
he was drawn too fine. As a. result
of the weights the betting which had
been in favor of Delaney swung
around to even money. It is expect-
ed to remain at this point until the
fighters enter the ring tonight.
The postponement was expected
to benefit both of the pugiiists. Berly
awoke yesterday morning to find
himself a half pound overweight and
it was necessaary for him to go out
to the New York Athletic club and
have it rubbed off. The rest will
enable him to put on this weight
.again and ‘some more along with it.
On the other hand Delaney was
expected to put on about three more
pounds before he entered the ring
tonight. The writer had a glimpse
of the two boxers late yesterday af-
tcrnoon. Delaney appeared as if he
were on edge. while Oom Paul was
big and strong. Since looking over
the scrappcrs we still think that

and had to work hard to get
down before going to the scales.
Delaney’s weight caused great
surprise, for he was expected to
enter the ring at about 1'12. al-
though in his battle with Berlen-
bsch last winter he weighed 169.
The challenger appeared in ex-
cellent condition and expressed
utmost confidence as to the out-

CAPE ants NEZ. France. July 16
——I feel a great deal better.
I have Just made the swim from
old Cape Gray Nose to Sangatte.
nearly 16 miles. I had the tide to
help me and made the trip in four
hours and four minutes.
That time. they tell me here. is
the best for the distance that any
aspiring channel swimmer has turn-
ed in this season.
What pleases me. of course. is
that I have delivered what was ex-
pected of me in this prflimlnarv
test. Swimming to Ssngatte with
the tide to carry me along is vastly
different from bucking the channel
to Dover. nearly twice the distance,
with currents swirling in every di-
rection and the tides sometimes di-
rectly against me. But I've made
this preliminary step. he been
weight-8 and not found short weight
so far.
We had adventures on the trip to
Sangatte.
A dogtish is the villain of the
story. and he won. A dogflsh is
something like a shark. and this one
was of huge dimensions.
When the monster came sliding
along off Sangalte. we decided to
call it a day. I had go as far as
I intended at the start. d nothing
was to be gained by showing one's
defiance to a dogtish.
So I Just cinmhcred abord the
row-boat which accompanied me.
and left the channel to the opposi-
tion. When I actually am swimming
across. provision will be. made to
ward of niarauding sea. creatures.
This time it was a case of "she who
swims and runs away may survive
the dogdsh to swim another day}?
After four hours in the water. I
felt fresh enough to keep right on
all afternoon. And that was en-
couraging. It showed me that the
endurance which had been enough
to cross the Chesapeake Bay still
was on tap for the English Channel.
