BERGER'S SECOND THROW
UP SPONGE
Special Dispatch to The Bonanza.

night 1t was hard battle from
start to finish and long to be remem-
bered. Kaufman was introduced as
a native son of the Golden West as
also was Berger Both men were
received with lots of applause, but
Kaufman got the lions share and
was given the warmer reception.
Kaufman was looked after by his
manager, Billy Delaney, Joe Thomas,
Harry Foley and Jack (Twin) Sulli-
van. The contest was refereed by
Jack Welsh.
Berger displayed much cleverness
in the first few rounds and had the
best of it until the fourth round.
In the fifth Kaufman handed out
some harder uppercuts, which took
considerable steam out of Berger.
Kaufman sent Berger to the floor
several times for the count, but
weakened by his efforts, could not
land a knockout punch. He gave
Berger an awful beating and his
seconds mercifully threw up the
sponge to save him from further
punishment.
A challenge was read on behalf of
Jimmy Barry with a $2,5OO side bet
to meet the winner
Another challenge was received
from Billy Rodenbach, who received
decision over Berger some years
ago as an amateur. Jack O'Brien
was introduced and made a short
address. O'Brien is to meet Burns
in Los Angeles Thanksgiving Day
and says that should be beat Burns
he will take on the winner. Jack
(Twin) Sullivan was introduced and
challenges any man in the world.
