Harry Greb Of Pittsburgh, who
made comparatively small profits

opposition was so dismal, now IS
pursued with more or less enthu-
siasm by Estridge. Delaney and the

Inasmuch as Flowers is being

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-When the
fallen have been carted away from
Madison Square Garden tonight the
customers there will have a pretty
definite acquaintance with the fore
most challenger for the middleweight
championship Of the world. Paul
Berlenbach will fight Larry Estridge,
the colored middleweight from the
Barbados. Jack Delaney will meet
Pal Reed OF Boston.
Two of this pair. Delaney and
Estridge, are middleweights with
frst-class chevrons earned in many
a hot action in the ring. Berlenbach
is a light heavyweight now, having
reluctantly detached himself from
tho middleweight division. Pal Reed
Is regarded as something less than
a f1rst-rater and Delaney Is expected
10 beat him.

Senator Borah nterjected serious note by warning
that no nation so young the United States ever assum

federal and debt threatening to reach S6 billions

it is a national problem not party question
He said: 1--WE shall tax BILL so it is said reduc-

The Babe is away on a merry
chase after his season home-run rec
ord He is nine round trips ahead
of where he was last year, but five
behind where he was at this time
in 1921.
It would not be a bit surprising
to see Ruth catch up and pass him
self, as you might say. along about
d-September and make a new rec
ord of sixty or more home runs for
the season.
1t would be hard to evince sur
prise if this amazing young man
should step up and bat the Wool
worth Bldg. over into Jersey.
Anything is conceivable with the
Babe, except that he should fail to
astonish us once in a while.
incidentally Babe might lead the
league in batting as we'll as in home
runs and runs driven in and a few
other things, although the chances
are that If he chooses to go after
a new mark for homers he will have
to sacrifice something.
